The Tea Party movement loves to express its affection for the Constitution. The Los Angeles Times writes, “Adherence to what supporters deem to be a strict interpretation of constitutional principles is a key tenet of the tea party movement.” Yesterday’s Tea Party rally in Searchlight, NV, for instance, was filled with imagery of the Constitution. Protesters carried signs that read “I honor the Constitution” and “What about the Constitution don’t you understand?” Rally attendee Norman Halfpenny, a 77-year old retired Marine Corps veteran, said, “We need to get our Constitution back.”

In her speech at the rally, Sarah Palin of course paid homage to the Constitution. “Our vision for America is anchored in time-tested truths that the government that governs least governs best, that the Constitution provides the path to a more perfect union — it’s the Constitution,” she exclaimed. And so it’s extremely puzzling that Palin introduced this new attack line against President Obama yesterday:

"In these volatile times when we are a nation at war, now more than ever is when we need a commander-in-chief, not a constitutional law professor lecturing us from a lectern."

Ironically, the crowd cheered wildly at Palin’s line. Watch it:

1. Jesus- fucking- Christ, if that bitch were any more stupid she'd be chewing on a crayon!

[mcctatas]

4. OMG

I sprayed my monitor with Dt. Dr. Pepper, best sentence I have read lately :toast:

[abbeyco]

11. Personally, I think she's more the glue eater type. n/t

[ladywnch]

30. glue sniffer. n/t

[ananda]

2. It doesn't matter what she says..

.. as long as she attacks Obama... because he's an uppity
Black man, you see.

They could have signs reading: we honor tolerance and
inclusion.

Then Palin could just as well have said: what we need
is a commander-in-chief, not a do-good president who
wants to help our people.

And they would have cheered for that, too.

3. Each time I see this simple heffa I blame

John McCain. Can you imagine her being the second most powerful person in this country? It's infuriating.

[Vermontgrown]

5. The scary part is that McCain ain't much smarter...

[davidhilton]

6. fuck her n/t

[ladywnch]

31. to quote Robin Williams, "not even with a Koala's dick." n/t

[szatmar666]

7. Sarah Palin & the Teabaggers are the best thing that happened to dems

in a century! The republican party will be known for decades to come as the nasty party, not something mainstream folks want to associate with.

[Grassy Knoll]

8. Gotta love " Short Bus Sarah "......

[SolidGold]

9. The constitution as teabaggers understand it

All the teabaggers think the constitution consists of only the following amendments:
1. Free Hate Speech
2. Guns Guns Guns
3. Marriage is Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve
4. When legislation is passed that you don't like you CAN overthrow the government.
5. Founding Fathers something something something ... ???? yah heh.
6. Capitalism (corporations) > People

Be ready for 2012 when whitewingers find out about the bill of rights and declaration of independence!

[Hatalles]

10. Yeah, we don't need a Constitutional Law Scholar as Commander in Chief...

... we need a second-place beauty pageant winner/weather girl/failed Governor as Commander in Chief. :eyes:

[CLANG]

12. I'm actually postless. Opps!

[Martunez]

13. What a dunce!

Her ignorance of the Constitution is surpassed only by her contempt for it.

And by the way, where should a Constitutional Law professor lecture, if not from a lectern?

[Martunez]

14. What a dunce!

Her ignorance of the Constitution is surpassed only by her contempt for it.

And by the way, where should a Constitutional Law professor lecture, if not from a lectern?

[Tx4obama]

15. Wonder if Palin realizes that she is standing behind a LECTERN?

First Palin criticized President Obama for using a tele-prompter, now she doesn't use one anymore.
Then she criticizes 'LECTERNS', wonder if she will stop using those from now on too? :)

[WhoIsNumberNone]

16. Didn't we hear this same speech a couple of months ago?

We certainly heard the punchline a couple of months ago. Oh well, I guess it's OK for her to recycle speeches- I doubt many Fox-bots remember that far back, and maybe one less tree had to die for the greater glory of the republican party. (note: small 'r' not by accident- intentional disrespect)


And "We need our Constitution back"? As long as we're repeating ourselves, "WHERE WERE YOU DURING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION?" "FUNNY HOW THE CONSTITUTION ONLY BECAME STARTED BEING THREATENED AFTER WE ELECTED A BLACK DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT!"

[AlbertCat]

17. We don't need no uppity... er...constitutional lawyer lecturing us from a lectern

What we need is a Christian cultist, beauty pageant, quitting know-nothing reality show hostess failure lecturing us from a lectern.

Hell yeah!

[MarinCoUSA]

18. She is so FUCKING stupid!

Dumb ass-Common sense is a virtue more manifest and bestowed than self proclaimed.

[Progressive Cancer]

19. Fundies

When I hear the right wingers talk about the US constitution, I can't help myself not comparing it to the islamists talking about the Coran.

Here are two common points:
- The document was written by God himself (or by godly enspired people)
- The document cannot be altered or put into historic perspective (cannot be interpreted)
- Every person questionning the above points is a heretic, a traitor

[mmaza]

20. s.palin

what a waste of space.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

21. wow, if the constitution is now what they firmly support he's exactly what we need...

Can they just find a story and stick to it at the very least, probably not.

[gadjitfreek]

22. Wasn't she just lecturing a crowd...

...from a lectern?

Her voice is like the sound of a thousand dying squirrels in a bag thrown into a river of lava.

[90-percent]

23. Contradictory

We don't need a Constitutional Lawyer, we need the Patron Saint of Quitting - Sarah Palin!

(with thanks to Alan Grayson)

She praises the Constitution, or her vision of it, then says we don't need a lecturing Constitutional Lawyer? She loves the Constitution and hates leaders that are well educated in it? MY mind won't let me make that leap?

[EnviroBat]

24. You know, there's this YouTube flag for videos which promote

dangerous acts (other). I think we should start flagging all of these "Failin" videos as "dangerous (other)", due to the shit she's promoting and the hill-billy's that are frothing at the mouth every time this asshole opens her mouth.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

34. I wonder if that wouldn't only add fuel to the fire...

with the right-winger screaming "censorship" and accusing the Obama administration of being behind it.

[border_town]

25. Yeah we don't need

a constitutional law professor lecturing us, we need a mentally unstable fisherman who cannot finish what she starts.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

26. Teabaggers were yelling that he should read the Constitution.

Now she's telling them he's a Constitutional Law Professor. No wonder these simple minded folk are confused.

[KansDem]

27. Yeah, right...Teabaggers *love* the Constitution...

Until the SCOTUS can interfere with a state election in order to install a neo-con puppet as POTUS.

Then it's "What 10th Amendment?"

[husky92]

28. God is she a Dumb Ass!!

In addition to her grating voice, she is dumber than a stump. It scares me that people actually applaud when she opens her mouth and more stupidity races out.

[madmom]

29. What part of "majority rules..get over it" don't they understand?

[ellenfl]

33. the 'majority' part, obviously. none of them understand that. eom

[ellenfl]

32. she's recycling her speeches. that's an old line from the

teabaggers convention in tennessee, i think.

nothing to see here. move along.

[MightyAfrodite]

35. Soooooooo totally sick ...

of this bitch.
