So Palin decided to compare her mayoral experience with obama's first job as a community organizer. Wouldn't it have made more sense to compare her first job, rather than her third or fourth?
But yeah, community organizers are the college graduates we should be mocking. |
She was attacked first and belittled for being a small town mayor... of course she is going to defend herself. She's not mocking people who are community organizers in general, she's mocking someone who touts that as experience when that job entails no real decision making. |

And by the way Lebz... (I think it was you on another post about Peggy Noonan saying "it's over")... if it wasn't you then my bad. But here she is shortly after that explaining how that statement was taken out of context by MSNBC and she didn't mean it like that

I could have sworn that the GOP went that direction on Obama, oh, about 15 months ago, so I wouldn't go there with "attacked first." |

Andrew Sullivan: "The one moment that stays with me tonight, oddly enough, was not Palin's speech. It was a line from Giuliani, a New York mayor with a young second third wife and gay friends, mocking a "cosmopolitan" who was brought up by a single mother. It was that Barack Obama's rise could "only happen in America." And it was designed to mock him, the first African-American candidate for the presidency of the United States.
I won't forget that."
This convention makes a mockery of the political process.
(Sullivan is what you would call a Log Cabin Republican... aka gay conservative) |
To be fair, both parties' conventions (and the campaigns as a whole) make a mockery out of the political process.
I also didn't understand Giuliani's "only in America" line. |

only after Obama had the gall to use that as experience to be president. This could turn into a chicken and egg conversation. But his side, weather or not he gave the direction to, did attack her first for the mayor/PTA/whatever else thing. SHe's just showing she won't let them push her around... I doubt she'll play the victim card and muster some fake tears a la Hillary and say "how hard it can be as a woman on the campaign trail" |

Of course she is. Do you think she's ready to retire? |

Come again?? What did Obama use 15 months ago as "experience" to be President?

Like the Republicans, [b]whether or not the RNC gave the direction, spread rumors that Obama was a Muslim? Or many of the other numerous false accusations that he's tried to stay above?
BTW, in my opinion, he needs to take off the chivalry suit and gut these two like the wildlife that Sarah Palin hunts (FYI, that wasn't a dig at her outdoorsmanship - I've spent decades hunting and fishing). |
