Sarah Palin's Message From Facebook
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 10:11 PM by nmbluesky
umm..I never get this woman, Sarah!!!! I never get you, Sarah..

While filming the Alaska documentary in Homer, I had a brief discussion with a local lady who, in typical Alaska style, decided to give me her two cents worth about my political leanings, American politics in general, and much else besides. It’s what makes our politics so uniquely democratic: two people discussing the things they care about, even though they respectfully disagree about just about everything (you can watch a brief video of the encounter here).

The LSM has now decided to use this brief encounter for another one of their spin operations. They claim I – wait for it – “appear to roll my eyes” when the lady tells me she’s a teacher. Yes, it’s come to this: the media is now trying to turn my eyebrow movements into story lines. (Maybe that’s why Botox is all the rage – if you can’t move your eyebrows, your “eye rolling” can’t be misinterpreted!) If they had checked their facts first, they would have known that I come from a family of teachers; my grandparents were teachers, my father was a teacher, my brother is a teacher, my sister works in Special Needs classrooms, my aunt is a school nurse, my mom worked as a school secretary for much of her professional life, we all volunteer in classrooms, etc., etc., etc. Given that family history, how likely is it that I would “roll my eyes” at someone telling me that they too work in that honorable profession? Stay classy, LSM.

One good thing to come out of this little episode, though, is that it helps to remind people once again that Alaska is a great state full of independent-minded people. I look forward to introducing you to some of them in the forthcoming documentary series on life in Alaska! The show will remind you to get outdoors, breathe in God’s creation, and taste the freedom!

- Sarah Palin

1. Her father did a lot of things, didn't he?
Unfortunately, raise an intelligent, classy daughter was not one of them.

Dear sarah -
you can spin it all you want, but the eye-rolling look was there for all to see. Only a brain-dead sycophant could deliberately fail to see your utter contempt for this woman.

And while I'm at it, why don't you teach your daughter some manners. Oh, and not to smack on gum like some cow.

3. What a dingbat
She needs glasses to view herself reacting like the anti-intellectual poster girl that she is when the woman said she was a teacher.

Her banter throughout the exchange was funnier than anything that SNL could come up with as well... mostly because it's utterly insane.

More Sarah! It helps the Democrats!

7. The wingnuts are champions at playing the victim. They can dish it out, calling us all kinds of name
...yelling that the president is a socialist, communist, Nazi. Democrats are unpatriotic, un-Godly, immoral, weak...

But, let someone confront them. They can't take it. They feign outrage. Play the victim.

They make me fucking sick! And I'm so tired of this woman I could spit!! :puke:

9. It is irritating isn't it?
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 10:21 PM by CoffeeCat
The cameras capture her rolling her eyes immediately after someone mentions that they
are a teacher.

And suddenly, Sarah is blaming the people holding the cameras with these bizarre diatribes.

She's incredibly immature.

"Stay classy, LSM." Stay classy? Isn't that a catch-phrase you usually overhear in junior-high hallways?

As usual, she's oblivious to how stupid she sounds.

when she said oh in a disdainful tone followed by Bristol also saying oh.

Since Bristol tags along with her mother and also makes comments about politics she can no longer be off-limits to the press or public comments.

It should have said "worst half-governor ever."

8. Lie: Palin was not questioned about her political leanings
She was questioned why she quit her elected position once the money and 'celebrity' was waved in front of her face.

12. Here's the video---Sarah Palin is an IDIOT!!!
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 10:44 PM by CoffeeCat
Ok. I thought...since Sarah went to such trouble to blog about "the lamestream media" and how
they were portraying her reaction in a negative light--I assumed Sarah's reaction was subtle.

I mean really. Who would make an obvious, sardonic, eye-rolling action after someone tells
you they're a teacher--and then deny it if it's so obvious???? That would be stupid and
ridiculous, right???

Look at this video. It's more than an eye roll. It's an eye roll, and a dirty look shot to her
daughter and a couple of head rolls.

Is there anyone more stupid than Sarah Palin? Watch the video.

I could care less what this twit does. It's not that big of a deal that she rolled her eyes and
showed utter contempt for the fact that this woman is a teacher. It's Sarah and her endless
parade of whining and wheezing when the camera captures her hypocrisy and her stupidity. She's
a defensive idiot who tweets and blogs and whines all over the place when she looks like the fool
that she is.

Unbelievable.

17. It looks like Palin got nailed
in another publicity stunt. That is the second time for her.

Kathleen Gustafson is not a teacher but a theater tech (whatever that is). She works at the AM radio station in Homer.

Too funny.

22. i read she teaches
theater tech at the high school. i think theater tech is probably the technical aspects (sets, light, costumes, direction, sound, etc.) of theater.

25. That makes me believe, Sarah DID write it.
"Taste the Freedom"?? Who can Taste Freedom? Better yet, who would write that? Of course, the Queen of all Idiots, Sarah Palin. Maybe she meant to say, see the freedom of the beautiful Alaska landscape. Enjoy the freedom of our Alaska open land; with its' grand scenery full of mountains, green trees for miles, fresh water and many animals of nature. At night, you will feel as if you can reach out and touch a star.

OK, I am giving the Queen Idiot ideas on how to write. You can tell that Sarah probably rolled her eyes at her English teacher when she was told to be more expressive and creative, with her writing. It is obvious that she did not retain this lesson..."Taste the Freedom"...LOL!

On a more serious note....what college gave this woman a degree, with a level of creative or expressive writing, like a 5th grader? She majored in Journalism, I believe....so, she would have been required to demonstrate proficient writing standards....that is IF she actually graduated.

I think, it is time to start asking and investigating, is this Queen Idiot, really has a college degree or....did she LIE about that too. Just saying......
