After Calling Hillary Clinton a Whiner, Palin Blasts Media's "Different Standard"

ScienceGuy:

Palin needs to learn that if you wish to take full credit for your own successes, then you must accept full responsibility for your own failures and shortcomings.

But, really... in the world of grown-up politics... it seems more like:

if you wish to take full credit for someone else's successes, then you must accept full responsibility for your own failures and shortcomings.

"Do you think however that she would change her stance on her characterization of Hillary now?"

Not publicly, mainly because she would most likely refuse to acknowledge her original comments. Easiest way to solve a conflict is to deny its existence.

nahh, the truth is more fun, in this case, stateing Sarah Palin is intelligent, would blow me away, in a laughder cramp and those hurt, me cheeks :$

Demoness.

Got it! A lie works better than the truth if ya get others ta believe it.

The secret? Repeat loudly and often, and then you have the makings of a political platform..

from "Politics, My Way" by Richard Cheney

It would be more honorable if she would state what her "higher calling" is and why it requires her to abandon her state.

To sell Amway door to door?

What a baby! She's acting like a little child on a playground that the other kids are picking on.

Absolutely. Whining about "different standards" applying just to her makes her sound like a petulant child, who has decided to not pass the basketball, but to pick it up and run home.

Regardless if you believe in God, Allah, Jesus, etc. They do not take sides.

I really wish Republicans stop using God name in-vane. God never wanted Bush to be President. God never wanted Palin either. It just make up fantasy for delusional of grandeur.

She just a spoil whinning Princess.

Peggy97478 has copy and pasted this same comment on six different articles about Palin. Personally, I think she means it. LOL

She definitely a poor role model for women.

There are million of women who has balance career, family, marriage and life everyday. There are female executive who have a balance career doing everything very well. Also, they manage to teach their family morality and ethics.

Palin

• Teen Daughter Pregnancy
• Son with Drug addiction
• Ethics Violation (Presumed or not)
• hypocrisy
• and list go on.

Now, she quit her job as Governor. Why? who knows? I think it too much for her. Wow, your poor Role Model for Women Quitter, Poor Mother, unethical, immorality, etc.

BTW, Why Palin? Let me guess? You believe God want her to be President. God choose her to continue the horror of last 8 years.

There are at least 250,000 better Right-Wing Republican Conservative women that definitely more qualify than Palin.

This article came from a Gossip column and hasn't even been supported by a major news organization. If this is where the Far Left get's most of their information then it explains quite a bit.

I want to correct some of his mistakes and this isn't against Aalaf and never was. It's about being honest and not trying to mislead others.

Governor Palin had a daughter who got Pregnant was 18 years old. She was an adult. How many unwed, single mothers are out there who have posted on this site cast the first stone. You guys are treating her like she was a 14 year old. Grow up.

Son with Drug Addiction. Untrue. Her son is in the Army and as you know in the Military they Piss Test you four times a year. Why did you lie about this?

Ethics Violations. After the election the Democratic Party and Far Left Organizations filed so many Legal Ethics Violations that the Legal Bills mounted to over Five Hundred Thousand Dollars. All of them were dropped except for the one she filed herself so she could pay her childrens travel expenses.

Hypocrisy. How? What did she do for you to call her a Hypocrit?

What List and please go on.

Why she quit her job? Who cares. Who knows the reasons why people do the things they do. There is a lot of reasons. Having your children and your family constantly attacked can make even the strongest person buckle.

Poor Role Model? You have no idea why she quit and neither do I. I would like you to tell me how she was a poor Mother. I would like you to explain in greater detail what makes you think she is unethical. What is your standards of Immorality? If being a loving mother of five children, devoted wife of 20 years, college educated with a BA degree, and a person who challanged a corupt system and beat it Immoral then I would hate to see your standards of being moral.

What happened on 9-11 was a preventable horror. I'll agree with you on that but to be honest as a Nation we you didn't want to wake up from our Dream and denied that it was coming. I have seen the best of America in these last 8 years (and the worst). My Great Grandfather lived through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, my Grandfather fought in Africa, Europe, and the Pacific during World War II, and my Uncle fought in Vietnam. I think they can tell you what real horror is.

I don't think it would matter what Right Wing Republican Conservative Woman ran for office. She would still be slandered, sexually harrased, and attacked by the Far Left of the Democratic Party and they would claim that it was justified under the 1st Amendment. None of the feminist or so called feminist would come to defend them and to be honest that is an outrage. From what I've seen posted here from the women it's alright to make sexual remarks, slander a woman, and make false allegations about them as long as you don't share the same Political View Point and you think they are stupid. Am I wrong? If so then please show me differently. Please, I'm begging you. Show me that you believe in what you say.

Um...........directly from Palin herself.

From a NEWSWEEK event

If you can dispute this go for it While you will say the article is from a gossip column, this is directly from Palin herself during an interview about Clinton, ths supporting the gossip column you toss aside.

What Kshark said.

Mind yourself, she's on a roll tonight!

None of those things are alright, true. But, one can criticize someone without slandering them. I respect Palin for having the balls to get out there and give it her best shot. I think, however, that she'd make a miserable president. Not because she's a woman, but because she has terrible ideas.

And, as far as the false allegations go, take a look at what has happened lately to the discourse coming from the right. It's usually something to the effect of "OMG Obama is teh fascist who want's to steel my house!!!111one". He obviously wants nothing of the sort. This problem runs deeper than any party, it's people like Rush Limbaugh who act like @!$%#s to each other. When the level of discourse is at that point, people begin to converse in the same way. I wish, sincerely, that we could get to a point where we had respectful, well though out, and factually based opinions being floated. Alas...

I don't think it would matter what Right Wing Republican Conservative Woman ran for office.

It does. As I said above, Sarah Palin was a miserable choice, and I don't think that she's a good politician or has good ideas. But, those same innuendos and the like were thrown at Hillary by the right. It's not about the politics, it's about this miserable culture we've fostered, where every yahoo with a computer can say whatever they want.

So, in the end, I could ask you those same questions. The two parties are really not that different, in many cases. They like to think they are, but they really are pretty similar by world standards.

That is what happens when someone deletes my post and there is three different Palin threads going on at the same time but no excuse. I screwed up and I have a feeling I'm going to be regretting some of my words before this is over.

You know over all I think this is one of the worst Campaigns I have ever seen and I don't recall reading about any Political Party that has so self destructed like the Republican Party.

Jason Burnham--

It isn't just the Republicans. The Democrats are failing too, tis why more people are starting to be Independents.

I don't recall reading about any Political Party that has so self destructed like the Republican Party.

The pendulum swings and it has gone as far right as it can go. It is already swinging back. As Arnold says, "They'll be back."

When your platform is family values, abstinence, and marriage, having an unwed, teenage pregnant daughter seems a bit hypocritical.

When your platform is family values, abstinence, and marriage, having an unwed, teenage pregnant daughter seems a bit hypocritical.

So if your teenage daughter or granddaughter gets pregnant that is a reflection on you not teaching her your morals. It is your fault, not the daughter or granddaughter that happens to make the bad judgement of having sex before marriage, or unprotected sex......Teenagers kinda have a mind of their own......at least they think they are old enough to make decisions for themselves.

well BB If you preach teen abstinence to the world, but let your teens boyfriend sleepover and get your teen pregnant, then yeah she has some fault in that.

You know Chucky, I don't know that really happened except through rumor, but you can get pregnant in the back seat of a car, or front seat, or down by the riverside, it doesn't have to be in a bedroom......but the sleep over that I heard about occurred after the pregnancy fact.....

I'd like to remind the audience that there isn't a magical marriage fairy that blesses a marriage against an unplanned pregnancy. Before or after, babies happen.

Personally, I don't care if she isn't married, but I do find it absolutely HILARIOUS that yes, the Republicans tout their morals and family values, but, uh...yeah. FAIL.

Ok just checking. Didn't want to miss another hypocrisy moment.

Freud would be interested in the Republicans' obsession with plumbers, methinks

Well said. Quitting is not admired.

America hates quitters. period end of subject.

If I remember reading, Clinton popularity grown as he left the White House.

If I remember reading, Clinton popularity grown as he left the White House.

Yeah it did. His approval rating went up during the process of impeachment as well.

If someone took a poll of the voting electorate asking whether or not they'd vote for Bill Clinton right now, I think that you'd find that Bill could handily win an election.

People love the guy. He just has that charisma. Not a bad politician, either.

Your right. America hates quitters. I would have liked to have seen her fight but she didn't which is very disappointing. Watching the Republican Party disintegrate has been frustrating. They were supposed to be the Party of Family Values but most don't even follow the vows they promised to keep to their spouse. Then we hear them say they are Smaller Goverment but our California Governor has spent twice as much as Davis and President Bush bailed out the Banks. Watching this country go to a One Party System makes me cringe. I love my Country but watching what is happening to it...

It's like Governor Palin is just driving in another nail into the coffin.

Most woman believe Sarah Palin is one of worst role model for women. You only got hardcore women who thinks she a role model only because of similar beliefs. It has nothing to do with character or substance.

There is more family values in Democrat Party without Democrats cramming and preaching it down everyone throats. All you here is mostly Republican immorality, infidelity and adultery in the media with occasional Democrat one thrown in.

Here is a interest thought I remember reading about Gay Marriages. Ever wonder why Republicans have problem with Gay Marriages besides the Religious aspect of it. They are afraid that Gay and Lesbian couple will last longer more close to Family values more than Republicans Traditional couples.

Committed Gay and Lesbian Couples Plus Traditional Democrat Family Values will make the Republican party look horrible statistically and Traditionally.

I take what you have written as your opinion but.. the statements you make about "role model" and "traditional" family values are really shallow when you compare them to same sex marriages. I don't know any gay or lesbian couples that don't have a history of counseling and therapy. The ones that I know have no longevity. And please don't confuse Democratic family values with government dependency.

Oh Mary,

Tina is a brilliant writer and comedian, as well as an Emmy award winner. How could you insult her like that? :)

Also, another example of conservatives criricizing Palin's decision...

http://www.amconmag.com/postright/2009/07/05/more-on-sarah-palins-linguistic-ineptitude/

Somebody needs to look up what 'lame duck' means. Hello.

wow...i just read what the consevatives are saying....just brutal. and you guys thought we were mean.

Did you miss the personal attacks on Hillary's daughter, the ones about Chelsea's appearance?

Corpus Christi

I don't believe while Hillary Clinton was running for President anyone said a thing about Chelsea's looks, btw, she looks better now that she is in charge of her looks, hair and makeup....a lot of girls go through an ugly stage and then one day blossom.....

btw, Hillary, while Bill was in Office made head bands popular and while running for President she did wear those ugly pant suits that folks really didn't like....

What's the difference between running for president and your husband being sitting president when a child is being trashed? You said Palin has had to endure insults to her children. Well, Hillary has too.

I can just add to this comment by saying now that we have Internet and these blabbing sites, more things get said than they did when Chelsea was in the White House.....I could have thought she wasn't cute, but I never commented on it....As I said she looks a heck of a lot better now that she is in charge of her looks than when mommy was.....and the braces came off.

Palin and her family have endured more trashing than any other Political family and you know it.....

BB, I'll agree with you on that. But, I also think that Palin has done more than any politician I've ever to bring it on herself.

For an example ......the liberals wanted the tabloids and the press and also the bloggers to leave John Edwards alone with his little allege love child or his extra marital affair, but with Palin they are making up "stuff" on her and magnifying other gossip, if you will, (about Bristol and also about Trig). Daily Kos had to print an apology to Sarah Palin.....which surprised me....So Palin doesn't have to bring anything on herself, the news media is taking anything she says and puts a spin on it, or let us say twist her words.....

You're right. Palin is not in the same league she in a league of her own. Lets look at Hillary...She was in charge of health care during her husband's presidency and oh yeah failed miserably.....in her present appointment she travels to other countries and apologizes for the "big bad United States". She makes me soo proud. Her biggest accomplishment is that her husband was president. I'm so tired of politicians that have nothing to offer consistently justifying their own existence.

As much as I hate agreeing with Liberals it is quite odd for someone to just leave office. I can't think of any off hand either. Nixon resigned but he doesn't count as he was getting kicked out anyways. The only time I can think of is when one is moving from one position to another, like when Obama won the Presidency.

And all the other republicans wearing a T-shirt that says..."I'm with her".

That's nothing new - she's always played the victim.

Wonder where that "maverick" attitude went?

Wonder where that "maverick" attitude went?

I actually saw someone on another thread claim that quitting was maverickey. He said something like (while defending Palin vehemently) "...now she pulls a Maverick move you all are acting surprised!"

I found it rather rich.
