Weeks after breaking new linguistic ground by using the term "refudiate," Sarah Palin has done it again.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Palin referred to a "cackle of (radicals)" who disagree with her.



Here are some common dictionary definitions of "cackle," none of which are appropriate in the context of Palin's tweet:

cack·le (kkl)

v.intr.
1. To make the shrill cry characteristic of a hen after laying an egg.
2. To laugh or talk in a shrill manner.

v.tr.
To utter in cackles: cackled a sarcastic reply.

n.
1. The act or sound of cackling.
2. Shrill laughter.
3. Foolish chatter.

Perhaps she meant to use the word "gaggle"? Or maybe some other word? Leave your ideas in the comments section.

1. But I thought "feminist" was passe ...

she's so ahead of the curve, she's behind herself

[bluestateguy]

2. Is she a 13 year old girl or a former state governor?

"Cackle of rads" and "2" instead of "to".

[gratuitous]

8. Yes.

This has been another edition of simple answers to simple questions.

[Contrary1]

35. That cos she b 2 cool...dont u no?

edit 2 + : JTLYK

[Raschel]

69. That's cuz Bristol is her BFF. Really.

[elehhhhna]

3. So she'd vote against the ERA (which never passed, btw)?

[Demit]

4. Of course she (or whoever actually writes her stuff) meant cackle.

She was being trés clever.

[mcctatas]

5. I vote for gaggle...

although she just makes shit up so who the hell knows? :crazy:

[Warpy]

6. As usual, it's word salad

Face it, the woman is just too stupid and/or hypomanic to generate anything in standard English.

She's just barely smart enough, in that reptilian way, to know that she's lost most women right out of the starting gate, that working women especially can see right through her to her essential workplace type and know she's pure poison. They didn't even need to look at her viciously misogynist political and religious viewpoints to know that, either.

The dislike most women feel for Palin is visceral.

Palin retaliates by disliking most women.

[Canuckistanian]

17. It's amazing

She manages to make word salads even with a 140 character limit.

[yellowcanine]

18. My 88 year old (Republican) mother was right. "She's an airhead."

Actual quote. Mom is nobody's fool. Why she still insists on voting Republican I don't know. Though she did not vote for George Bush the second time ("He's a warmonger.")

[Jennicut]

7. What? English Language not in use, not computing.

How can anyone follow Palinese?

[Dappleganger]

9. I seriously doubt that Sarah wrote that.

I'd bet a chicken dinner on it, too.

[hamsterjill]

14. So would I.

There is no way that woman knows how to tweet!

[AsahinaKimi]

10. CACKLE OF RADS

Its bad enough she tried to re-write history during her campaign with Mcain, now she's trying to change the English language! Put that in your funk and wagnalls, Sarah!

[zonkers]

78. Well, "cackleofrads.com" is already snatched according to godaddy.

[lpbk2713]

11. "In order to clarify her message, the former half-Governor was heard to say ...

... I'll find some and bring em to ya. "









BWAHAHAHA

[Winterblues]

12. Is she referring to Emily's List?

:shrug: I saw a bumper sticker today that said Limbaugh/Palin 2012. Don't know if it was supposed to be a joke or not.

[yellowcanine]

13. Caribou Barbie just opens her mouth and works come out - or tweets and words come out.

No actual brain activity - just words.

[old mark]

15. So she is abandoning English altogether? She'd make a GREAT PRESIDENT,

You Betcha!

Dumber than dog shit.


mark

[EstimatedProphet]

16. I'm surprised she knew how to spell "passé"

[MilesColtrane]

51. She must have gotten bored halfway through the Tweet and delegated the rest of it to an intern.

[jemelanson]

19. Will this be the next "Bushisms"? Palinisms?

Is Sarah running to be the poster child for the anti-intelligence plank of the GOP?


She just does not get it. If it was not the our Female Fore-Mothers. The women who were the suffragettes. Women who today still strive to see that Women are treated as full members of the Human Race and as productive, smart, creative, responsible adults.

Sarah, would not have had the opportunity to get the education or to vote or to be part of the government.

[Blue Owl]

20. It's dog whistle language

heard and understood only by the very dumbest among us.

[stellanoir]

21. ". . .cackle of rads. . ."

As we used to say about everything years ago. . ."great band name."

Or perhaps an even better first line for a haiku.

[one_voice]

22. So I googled...

"a cackle" and "a cackle of witches" and "a cackle of hyenas" came up as choices. Interesting, when speaking of other women she uses "a cackle", I'm not buying she used the word incorrectly. I think she knew exactly what she was doing. But left herself plausible deniability.

She thinks nothing of insulting and disregarding women that don't agree with her.

[seabeyond]

38. She thinks nothing of insulting and disregarding women that don't agree with her.

next she will say the women are hysterical and pms'in

[one_voice]

43. And all women...

would do well to remember that. Independents especially, that's the vote she'll go after. They need to remember her slights against women that disagree with her. That she has insulted them as mothers, as pro-choicers, etc. Remember the shit Obama took for the "lipstick on a pig" comment? Well, women need to be reminded about this round about dig.

Also, let's not forget, that she tried to give Hillary props, but then her true ugliness came out and she poked fun at Hillary for crying. Which is rich considering she whines people are mean at every opportunity.

This woman may represent some women, but I'd like to think that the majority of women find her condescending, and an embarrassment.

[EstimatedProphet]

60. She thinks nothing of insulting and disregarding ANYONE that doesn't agree with her.

FTFY

[Amaril]

76. Exactly!

Irony......as always.......escapes so many in the GOP.

[FSogol]

23. Maybe her head got cackled?

:shrug:

[sad sally]

34. Or maybe the cackle she's smoking?

[Old and In the Way]

24. "Pay attention to me! Look over here, I'm saying something stupid and aggravating!

I don't care if my observations are meaningless or even hurtful to the discourse of the country, as long as everyone is paying attention to me. because if I can have your attention, it's more money in my bank account."

I'm sick of her self-centered behaviour...she does have the emotional maturity of a juvenile and I'm not sure her intelligence matches that level.

[EFerrari]

25. Someone should mumble her!

[Champion Jack]

26. Her ghost writer called in sick today

[kestrel91316]

27. "Cackle" is Caribou Barbie's phoenetic spelling of "gaggle". She is illiterate.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

36. i think you have the answer to this mystery.

[blogslut]

28. Here's another word for Mrs. Ex-Gvernor Lady Person

butthurt

[AlinPA]

29. She is running for president folks, her fans and the republicans love this crap.

[anarch]

30. a "cackle of rads" sounds like a description of the sound a Geiger counter might make

in certain areas of Ukraine.

[Kurovski]

31. Ta-Da!!

We have a winner.

[patrice]

47. I'll second that motion.

[damntexdem]

32. Oh, she should have said a rackle of cads.

A tackle of bads?

;-)

[Whisp]

33. maybe she meant a Snackle of Nads?

:shrug:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

37. Uh honey, YOU are trying to hijack the word "feminists"!

:puke:

One of the most critical parts of the feminist movement was about our reproductive rights -- learn some fucking history, Ms. Thing.

[Ignis]

39. Y Kant Sarah Reed?

:shrug:

[patrice]

40. That is so far behind the curve, it's not even funny. She's talking to herself.

[EOTE]

41. Wow! The shirt people were on this seriously quickly!

http://www.zazzle.com/ive_been_hijacked_by_a_cackle_of_rads_tshirt-235231207368678039

[AspenRose]

54. Bwahahahahahahaha!

:spray:

[Amaril]

77. And I was *just* thinking........

I soooo want a tee shirt that says cackle of rads

Or even better.....

"Sarah Palin: One rad short of a cackle"

:)

[Arkana]

42. What the fuck is a cackle of rads?

And they COINED "feminism", Sarah. Those "rads" you refer to are the reason you're allowed to spew your hateful tripe all over our political discourse.

[sylvi]

44. "Cackle" is the term for a group of hyenas

"A cackle of hyenas."

Maybe it was a play on that. I doubt she'd know that, though.

[Rex]

45. Cackle, gaggle, what difference does it make when the person saying

it is a complete and total idiot!? Sarah is a fucking stupid human being that lives a privileged and easy lifestyle. She can say whatever stupid shit pops into her head or maybe finds its way threw the void of empty space.

[derby378]

46. Eeek! You beat me to it!

Darn. And I just posted a thread on GD about this, too. :dunce:

[ljm2002]

48. No one "hijacked" the term "feminist"...

...it was defined by a movement who chose to call themselves feminists. Therefore no hijacking of the term occurred. Well except for Palin who is attempting to do so now.

Furthermore, if I had to choose between a cackle of rads or a rabid cackler like Palin, I'd take the cackle of rads any day of the week.

[Monk06]

49. Palin's ghostwriter has lost her frickin' mind. Palin is as cool as Pat Boone.

A Cackle of Rads ????!!! WTF

[tammywammy]

50. Palin's an embarrassment to women

She QUIT her fucking job! She acts like an immature teeny bopper, who holds grudges against anyone that disagrees with her.

This feminist says it has nothing to do with choice and everything with the fact that she's a complete moron. I've had a conservative friend go off on how us 'liberals' hate conservative women because of abortion, and I've told him he's flat wrong. It's not Palin's stance on abortion, though I highly disagree with her, it's the fact she's a moron on everything. She doesn't even have basic knowledge of the Constitution.

Oh and twitter making Palin sound more stupid with every 140 characters.

[HipChick]

62. She disgusts me.

Trying to get through life with a wink..

[tammywammy]

64. Exactly!

She sets women BACK with shit like that. "Oh I'm pretty, so vote for me., even though I can't even tell you what fucking magazines or newspapers I read." And she ALWAYS has someone to blame. It's never her fault that she can't answer simple questions, it's always someone else's fault.

She's pathetic. :puke:

[SoCalDem]

52. OMG! LOL! HUGH!..a photo of the cackle... and they look dangerous & steamed up

[AspenRose]

53. Is that anything like a gaggle?

*sigh* And what the hell is a "rad?" Is that supposed to be short for "radical?"

Speak English, woman!

[maxsolomon]

55. Gaggle is undoubtedly what she meant

but like using 'Jive' when you mean 'Jibe', some folks don't ever use a dictionary.

[political_Dem]

56. All hail the grande dame of the idiocracy.

Stop her before she commits another verbal atrocity! :sarcasm:

[marmar]

57. The Supreme Ruler of The Idiocracy

[Cass]

58. She's just SO presidential.

:rofl:

[Metric System]

59. The rabid right demonized the word "feminist" just like they did the word "liberal."

[Z_I_Peevey]

61. That woman is a kookle.

And an idiot.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

63. I really, really, REALLY miss Johnny Carson at times like this.

I can almost hear him in the monologue:

Johnny: "Did you hear the latest from Sarah Palin today? Boy, that's some weird, wild stuff."

AUDIENCE: "HOW WEIRD IS IT?"

Johnny: "It's so weird that..."

[Raschel]

68. I miss Laugh - In. Goldie Hawn could open her door & say "cackle, of gads, rads, tackle dads, giggle

Ba da da da da bop.

[tanyev]

65. Sarah Palin, Valley Girl GOP Rodeo Clown, Inc.

My rates ain't cheap!

[steve2470]

66. I think she does this crap on purpose so the vocabulary-challenged can identify with her

:tinfoilhat:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

70. Like I've said before, she's playing to the cheap seats. n/t

[BAU]

71. My guess is...

...that the dumbass wanted to say "cackling". As in "a bunch of cackling women". I'm waiting for a moth to fly out of her mouth one of these times.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

72. I'm guessing she DID want to say "cackling" in there somewhere...

...but the word she was looking for was "gaggle of rads," as others have suggested.

She speaks first and thinks about it later. She's the gift that keeps on giving. The hot librarian who's never read a book.

:rofl:

[robertpaulsen]

67. New Rule: Don't Drink & Tweet. n/t

[KakistocracyHater]

73. Palin's ESL, with no first language spoken

*

[blueworld]

74. I realize her word skills are "grisly" (couldn't resist) but...

I'm actually curious as to what single issue she thinks defines "feminism". Voting? Salaries? Bras? Education? Uteriiz? Hairy underarms?

I'm sincerely sorry - I'm hypnotized by the disaster that is her mind. All these decades, I thought feminism was so much more than not wearing girdles. Sigh. :dilemma:

[texastoast]

75. K&R for everyone to see what an idiot Sarah is

She embarrasses the entire female sex. What a bimbo.

[truebrit71]

79. Man she is one stupid b****

:eyes:

Learn the fucking language would you?
