Palin Says Obama's Nuke Stance Is Like a Kid Who Says 'Punch Me in the Face'

April 07, 2010 11:55 PM


ABC News' Teddy Davis reports:

Sarah Palin is hammering President Obama for putting unprecedented limits on the use of U.S. nuclear weapons, comparing him to a kid in a playground who is asking for a punch in the face.

"It's unbelievable. Unbelievable," said Palin on Wednesday evening while appearing on Sean Hannity's Fox News program. "No administration in America's history would, I think, ever have considered such a step that we just found out President Obama is supporting today. It's kinda like getting out there on a playground, a bunch of kids, getting ready to fight, and one of the kids saying, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face and I'm not going to retaliate. Go ahead and do what you want to with me.'

"No, it's unacceptable," she continued. "This is another thing that the American public, the more that they find out, what is a part of this agenda, they are going to rise up and they are going to say 'no more.' National security, national defense is the No. 1 job of the federal government."

Palin, who is a Fox News contributor, made her remarks while appearing with Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., on a special edition of Hannity's program. The conservative Fox News anchor brought his show to Minneapolis and conducted it in front of an enormous audience of people who had just attended a Palin-Bachmann rally.

At one point in the interview, Palin turned to the crowd and asked them if they wanted the U.S. to keep all options on the table when it came to national defense.

The crowd roared its approval of Palin's position.

1. "No administration in America's history would, I think, ever have considered such a step..."

Except for Ronald Reagan, who actually wanted to go farther than Obama did.

[KingFlorez]

2. It probably took her hours to come up with that gem

[bluestateguy]

3. Why should I listen to someone like her who has no foreign policy experience?

And oh, what office does she hold currently?

[jenmito]

18. What are you talking about? She DOES have foreign policy experience...

she can see Russia from her house! :rofl:

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

29. Au contraire

[JuniperLea]

4. Again, she's banking that her audience is as stupid as she...

And she'd be correct.

What an idiot... this sort of thing was just fine for King Ronnie, Bush I, etc. This is just another instance of "Obama can do no right" in the eyes of the right. They will be contrary regardless of Obama's actions.

[Arkana]

5. Shock, awe, amazement--Sarah Palin STILL doesn't know what she's talking about.

[Supersedeas]

30. applause for use of weapons of genocide/omnicide--what has become of our country?

[Turbineguy]

6. Most people would not go to as much trouble as she has

to prove they are idiots.

[Blue Owl]

7. Can you dumb it down a little more, Sarah?

I don't think the drooling, mouth-breathing toddlers get it yet.

[Brother Buzz]

8. So, Sarah Darling, what about that mythical Mr. trust, but verify dude, was he bullied?

[RedEarth]

9. No one except Reagan.... Maddow showed clips of Reagan's

speech calling for a reduction in nuclear weapons.

[Tennessee Gal]

10. Stupid is as stupid does ....................

I don't recall any political figure exhibiting more public stupidity than Palin.

Here is a Regan quote: "We live in a troubled world, and the United States and China, as two great nations, share a special responsibility to help reduce the risks of war. We both agree that there can be only one sane policy to preserve our precious civilization in this modern age: A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. And no matter how great the obstacles may seem, we must never stop our efforts to reduce the weapons of war. We must never stop at all until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of this Earth."

11. delete, on better judgment.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. Must.... not .... ecourage.... you ... Must ... not.... OK fine. Go for it. What a fucking annoying

ass twit.

[TwilightGardener]

13. LOL.

[Bitwit1234]

14. OH my goodness..now Palin is an expert on nuclear weapons

for some body who is so stupid she can't even write her own book, how come she now knows everything about everything. When did she visit the alien brain implant machine.

[Mike Daniels]

15. Any debate Palin is in during 2012 is going to be an embarrasment of riches

Honestly, someone is going to wait for her to uncork that load of crap and then come back citing Reagan's efforts to do the exact same thing.

The attempt to spin reality will be so great her head will likely twist right off and launch into orbit.

16. Jake La Motta wept...

17. in what respect? n/t

[treestar]

19. isn't that what Jesus said?

These assholes better quit claiming to be Christians.

The world is led by grownups, Sarah you Twit, it is not a playground. You just think it is because you never grew up.

[Golden Raisin]

20. Even with the reductions

signed by Obama and Medvedev, both nations STILL have enough nuclear weapons to utterly destroy each other. People like Palin need to feel that the U.S.A. can utterly destroy its enemies by 1000%. 100% isn't good enough for them.

[political_Dem]

21. Palin's acts know no bounds when it comes to uncouthness and stupidity.

The turkeys that were slaughtered behind her "Thanksgiving stunt" are Rhodes scholars compared to her willful ignorance.

What's so disgusting about Palin is that her lack of knowledge is so blatant that all she can fall back on is her sadistic and violent tendencies. Not only does it make this creature sad; her behavior makes her one of the most dangerous politicians in this country.

She needs to be on some sort of watch list.

[Bobbie Jo]

22. What. A. Dope.

This woman must never be within reach of the launch codes, or a pin number for that matter.

[stevenleser]

23. Coming from someone who always sounds like they fell off the monkey bars onto their faces a few too

many times as a kid

[Uzybone]

24. love the Presidents response

when Stephanopoulos read him the inane quote, he said I have no response because Palin is not an expert on nuclear weapons (or anything else for that matter).

Georgie asked again about the general ranting about this from the far right and Obama said he will listen to the advice of the Sec of Defense and Chairman of Joint Chiefs over Palin.

[O is 44]

27. He,he........

unfortunately he did not say what you wrote in quotes but you know he was thinking it. The lady is a crazy.

[bulloney]

25. Palin & Bachmann together is like Dumb & Dumber: The Sequel.

[niceypoo]

31. Which to the GOP is a wet dream

...come true. The GOP relishes morons, re: Reagan, Bush, Quayle...etc, etc.

[HughMoran]

26. Palin's 'open mouth' stance is almost like saying 'crap on my face to shut me up'

:eyes:

[Blue_In_AK]

32. +1,000

[karynnj]

28. Apparently no one told Palin that the origional Start began under Reagan
