Sarah Palin Calls for Invasion of Czech Republic

Sarah Palin called for the invasion of the Czech Republic today in response to the recent terrorist attacks in Boston.

In an interview with Fox News, the former governor of Alaska said that although federal investigators have yet to complete their work, the time for action is now.

"We don't know everything about these suspects yet," Palin told Fox and Friends this morning, referring to Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who allegedly carried out the Boston Marathon attacks. "But we know they were Muslims from the Czech Republic.

"I betcha I speak for a lot of Americans when I say I want to go over there right now and start teaching those folks a lesson. And let's not stop at the Czech Republic, let's go after all Arab countries.

1. LOL

[dballance]

2. Okay Everyone - Remember the Daily Currant is a Satire Site

Don't go posting and tweeting this as "fact."

[Coyotl]

4. Spoiler!

[southernyankeebelle]

8. OMG, LOL, I didn't know that. But lates face it she would say something like that.

[Nye Bevan]

3. Wow. The lameness of that site never ceases to unimpress me.

"The Onion" it most certainly isn't.

[rocktivity]

28. DING DING DING! Nye Bevan, you're our grand prize winner!

The(ir) lameness...never ceases to un-impress me. "The Onion" it most certainly isn't.

They don't know the difference between satire and false wit. If the goal was to make Sarah look too dumb to know the difference between Czechs and Chechans, it got lost in the translation.

5. LOL!

I know it's parody, but it definitely treads in Poe territory.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

6. And she called for a public demonstration to dump boxes of Chex Mix in the street

as a sign of solidarity with Americans values and against the encroachment of evil Islamic culture in America.

7. Why didn't she include the country of Africa?

[Blue_In_AK]

10. That's pretty funny.

Is Sarah in Arizona now, does anyone know? We haven't seen anything of her lately and her voice was noticeably absent during the recent legislative debate to kill her one good piece of legislation passed during her short time as governor, the ACES oil tax. With her gone and a gerrymandered Republican supermajority in our legislature, Gov. Parnell just repealed that bill and replaced it with a monstrosity which will essentially give ConocoPhillips, BP and EXXON a $2 billion a year tax break with absolutely no guarantees of increased investment in the state. This is extremely significant for Alaska which relies on oil revenues for about 80% or more of its operating budget. Cutting the oil revenues is Parnell's way of forcing austerity while enriching his friends at the same time. He was a CP lobbyist after all before becoming governor and several members of the legislature are CP executives who stand to benefit financially from this deal.

People here are livid and are circulating a referendum petition to repeal the bill.

But I digress...

11. Reality: Czech Republic Forced to Remind the Internet That Chechnya Is in Different Country

Czech Republic Forced to Remind the Internet That Chechnya Is in Different Country After Boston Bombing
By Charlie CampbellApril 23, 201330 Comments

“War,” Ambrose Bierce said, “is God’s way of teaching Americans geography.” But despite all the lessons learned during the long-running “war on terror,” Americans could probably use a little more instruction. The Czech embassy issued a statement following the attacks to clarify that the two Boston bombing suspects actually traced their roots to Chechnya, not the Czech Republic, after waves of anti-Czech rhetoric swamped social media.

Expletive-filled postings on Twitter and Facebook were common, along with milder comments such as “So the Boston bombers were 19-year-old Russians of Czech descent … Why lord?” and “The guys that bombed Boston were Czech. What is it 1980?”

So much vitriolic anti-Czech sentiment was aired online that one Tumblr user compiled a “shame list” of erroneous hateful comments. And it was not only social-media users getting confused; a former CIA agent commenting on the manhunt for CNN also got the two territories mixed up live on air.

Petr Gandalovic, the Czech Republic’s ambassador to the U.S., was naturally keen to clear up the confusion. “As more information on the origin of the alleged perpetrators is coming to light, I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate misunderstanding in this respect,” he said in a statement. “The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities — the Czech Republic is a Central European country; Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation.”

15. Yes it may be satire but satire only works because there is a kernel of truth.

Fact: Some Americans are confusing the Czech Republic and Chechnya.

Fact: When it comes to confusion, there are few public figures who can match Sarah Palin.

So the satire works.

12. Sarah's gonna take a midnight ride ...

and tell President Sarkozy the British are coming.

[Brother Buzz]

13. Then she's going to take the Midnight Train To Georgia

[JesterCS]

14. Is it Sad that this is believable? n/t

[BlueCheese]

16. That article is dumb, frankly.

Palin isn't that silly. No wonder people think we're elitist sometimes.

[firenewt]

17. Yes she is.

[lpbk2713]

18. Are you taking bets on that?

My post #12 above is based on two actual bonehead statements made by the half governor.

31. There is a difference between silly and an airhead.

Silly doesn't make good satire

[SCVDem]

19. Czech Republic?

Majority atheist.

My barmaid at this moment?

Czech and very nice!

Americans are really stupid!

[PatrynXX]

21. Start a war with Russia real good. nevermind location

And people think shes smart? She's being used. Think my knowledge of Geography has gotten better with time. Like with her help strickly white Men born in america from the past 100 years will be the only people voting GOP.

And taking location out of the equation. tarting a war with Russia is the last thing we want because the country is only recognized as part of Russia and to declare war on Russia is all it is. We are in the position now to get help with Russia . She was to start a war. I'd be declaring her a terrorist.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. Next up, how Palin shot an Afghan hound from a helicopter to support our troops.

[olddots]

23. First she better Czech the Polls

the Polls

[HockeyMom]

24. Did she flunk 5th grade geography?

And there are people who think she should be the President of the US?????

[BlueCheese]

25. It's from a satire site, like the Onion, only worse.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Satire - The Daily Currant isn't very good at it.

Unfortunately this doesn't stop people from assuming their "articles" to be true and either posting them as such or believing them and working themselves into a lather of outrage, instead of (a) paying attention to the disclaimer on the site, or (b) reading with a critical mind able to detect satire. Especially lame satire.

[Buns_of_Fire]

29. It's blocking her view of Russia, why not? nt
