Palin Invokes 9/11 To Attack Obama

Sarah Palin, private citizen, responded to Obama’s speech on her Facebook page late last night with the usual mix of bluster and aggrievement, claiming Obama’s rebuttal of her “death panel” falsehood demonstrated a lack of “civility.”

But here’s the nugget from her response that jumped out at me. She suggested Obama “demonized” victims of the “war on terror” and specifically invoked 9/11 to do so:

Finally, President Obama delivered an offhand applause line tonight about the cost of the War on Terror. As we approach the anniversary of the September 11th attacks and honor those who died that day and those who have died since in the War on Terror, in order to secure our freedoms, we need to remember their sacrifices and not demonize them as having had too high a price tag.

The implication is that Obama is “demonizing” victims of the war on terror — 9/11 victims included — by saying war has financial costs. Palin interprets this to mean that Obama is saying that terror victims have “had too high a price tag.”

For sheer creativity, that one easily rivals the death panels. But that aside, didn’t anyone tell Palin that you’re not supposed to invoke 9/11 to launch political attacks? Isn’t that the sort of thing that would typically gin up lots of media outrage? Maybe now that she’s a private citizen she thinks the rules are different for her, or something.

1. Christ Almighty. That woman needs to change the freaking record already.

She makes me so tired.

2. Sarah Palin, private citizen should grow up

I'm so sick of her immature ramblings. She is permanently stuck in 7th grade.

[izquierdista]

3. I can see a future

where the word "palin" replaces the word "ignore".

[treestar]

4. Repuke private citizens and there noun, verb, 911

to justify their imperial wars.

Yes, Sarah, we know you'd rather our citizens died uselessly in Iraq or Iran than get any medical treatment when they are sick.

5. Why does the media still care about palin? /nt

[Meshuga]

6. She is a talking point generator for the stupid and the insane

There are the cynical who will use her words as argument and the stupid/insane who will eat it up.

[sui generis]

7. what the hell is that wench babbling about?

someone needs to tell boobie mcnipples that just because she knows some words that have more than one syllable doesn't mean she should attempt to use them.

Now I'd like a plain english example of Obama "demonizing" victims. Also nobody in Iraq is securing "our freedoms", or if I've missed something I'd also like that explained to me using short sentences and small words.

I always thought that when we sent our soldiers to do our bidding, right or wrong, they generally do it. Whether there is some emotional frenzy attached to their deaths should be considered before we send them and as we continue to deploy them. You can't put out a fire by dumping more fuel on it, in most cases.

Imagine if we honored fallen forestry fire fighters by sending more firemen to die in a fire that we started for "our freedoms".

Hungary-Serbo-Croatia gives Palin a 4.2 for artistic impression. Maybe next time throw your arms in the air and don't take a step when you try to stick the landing, byotch.

8. Eh - Obama was talking about the IRAQ WAR, not the war on terror, Sarah.

Big difference. The IRAQ WAR had nothing to do with terror.

[zulchzulu]

9. Palin simply can't process information without completely misinterpreting it as something else

The worst part is that Palin IS politicizing 9/11 victims as some people Obama doesn't care about. She is just stupid.

10. And Somewhere

Rudy Guilliani is smiling.

11. Sarah Palin is so desperately trying to remain relevant.

Is it my imagination or has the dip shit diva been getting less attention from the media since quitting her governor's gig?

[frylock]

12. who?
