Palin: Obama Lacks Civility For Calling Death Panels Bogus


In a Facebook post responding to President Obama's speech last night, Sarah Palin said that Obama's debunking of the "death panel" smear -- which she has propagated -- showed a lack of civility:

"In his speech the President directly responded to concerns I've raised about unelected bureaucrats being given power to make decisions affecting life or death health care matters," Palin wrote. "He called these concerns "bogus," "irresponsible," and "a lie" -- so much for civility."

Yes, Palin is saying Obama lacks civility. This from the politician who said this: "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."

As Greg Sargent notes, Palin also accused Obama in this post of demonizing the victims of the September 11 attacks, when he criticized the Republicans for launching the Iraq War without paying for it. So many angles right there...

Nothing to worry about. Palin just happened to get 105% of the vote.

6. I'll bet she was picking her nose and pulling her undies out of her buttcrack while she said this.
She is the LAST person on the planet to call someone else names. Civility? She hasn't got a frigging CLUE what that is.

13. She's funny.



She's still trying to make herself appear relevant with that same old 'you hurt my feelings' bullshit.

Fer crisakes asshole, grow up. No one cares about you any more. What a pathetic loonie.

14. kestrel's NEW RULE FOR SARAH: You don't get to use any words in your
pronouncements that you haven't looked up in the dictionary and learned the meaning of first.

Is that clear?

21. Here's your civility, whackjob
Sarah Palin's role in the world right now is to have her face photoshopped onto pictures of spread-eagled, nude MILFs, with the images emailed around the dorms of Dartmouth or Pepperdine so that she provides fresh spanking material for young conservatives who just want to jack their spunk onto her glasses. It puts her in the pecking order of usefulness somewhere between tribute bands and moon shoes.

23. You can overemphasize civility.
As Palin does here in a self-serving way. Truthtelling is more imortant.

Okay, I know the answer, but really. Can't we just ignore her Facebook posts?
