Palin in Denver: 'America... we got snookered'

[Faygo Kid]

DENVER - Sarah Palin came to Denver and told a big crowd Saturday night, "America... we got snookered."

About 6,000 fans of Sarah Palin packed into the University of Denver's Magness Arena to hear from the former Alaska Governor and would-be Vice-President, as she brought her "Take Back America" road show to Denver.

Outside the arena, protesters with signs chanted, "We support our President." One person passing by the protesters before going inside to hear Palin speak asked, "I want to know what you support?"

Palin said she was glad to be back in the Mile High city, first talking about jogging up 17th Street, saying she wasn't sure if that took her breath away or it was just that Denver is so breathtaking.

Then she began to bash the President and his policies.

'Obamacare': "America we got snookered, they rammed it down our throats and made us take something that isn't going to be very good for us." . .

I'm trying to think if there has ever been a bigger political huckster in my lifetime. Spiro Agnew, maybe? Newt? She's in the top five, anyway.

Hey, Sarah: It was Alaska that got "snookered" by its half-term (now multimillionaire) governor.

1. So the democratic process equals "rammed it down our throats"?

I guess if you're the loser it does.

8. Yes, just like tough questioning of a candidate....

for public office constitues being "prejudiced".

The tea-bag Right are a bunch of whiny babies who want a true Nanny-state: one that takes care of them without ever requiring them to do anything, pay for anything, or be challenged by anything. That is what they mean by Freedom.

It's the rise of the lazy, dysfunctional, vindictive brats.

16. I have a theory.

When our kids were young, they were all in swimming and other sports competitions where EVERYONE gets a ribbon, regardless if they finished first, or if they held up the meet by an extra 10 minutes because they're so damned slow.

These kids grow up expecting to get rewarded regardless of how well they performed in their jobs or other endeavors in their adult lives. If they don't, they have an adult version of a temper tantrum until someone accommodates them.

That's what people who supported the McCain/Palin ticket remind me of. They lost. But, they're now throwing a temper tantrum, thinking someone will change the outcome and make things all right. It's worked in everything else in their lives so far, so why not continue that behavior for this?

2. What is so frightening is that there is anyone left that still believes in her.

What the hell is wrong with people?

20. Bozos paid $37–$85 so Gidget could collect her $35000 or whatever

It's fine with me if they waste their time and money on her: it's time and money they won't spend building the Fascist state they all seem to want, and it'll only go to support her high-end lifestyle

3. Any American who does not like the way the president is leading this nation is free to leave

And if she doesn't like America she can go move to Russia.

4. The people who are not happy with the President's performance

didn't say that they didn't like America. Why would anyone leave the Country they loved because a particular leader was not living up to their hopes and expectations?

5. Like SP knows SHIT about Health Care!!!

[Warren Stupidity]

6. What part of representative democracy do these idiots not understand?

They had their chance to ram their shit down our throats, 2000-2006, and they did just that. Now it is our turn. They get to try again to ram their shit in 2010, and I sincerely hope they completely fail.

7. snookered by the xxx rightwing ....always schemeing, hiding the truth

the truth dooms the reactionary right- sara palin, rosh limbah, glen beck, anus coolter, fuxnews, cnn cbs abc pbs ad nazism) with its 'war on terror' and 'war on drugs' and 1 $trillion plus military budget (greater to the rest of world COMBINED) and the incessant lies told the people which ties the country up in knots which frustrates everybody so much they're told they think they THINK they THINK the poor and the unions and the foreigners and the libs are the PROBLEM which can only be stopped by killing.....and after killing several millions, the facts are now forcing people to wonder if the lies are worth believing anymore(?) the gulf oil spill is the xxxrightwing's worst nightmare. Enjoy

10. Well, we did get "snookered" by a conservative posing as a progressive.

But then again, the DLC makes no bones about it's SOP of 'run left, govern right'.

[emulatorloo]

13. You and Palin make strange bedfellows.

But if it works for you, knock yourself out.

[golddigger]

11. Who got snookered? About 6,000 fans...

that attended.

[XanaDUer]

12. I am so sick of that line, "take back America."

I don't even know that the fuck that means. Take it back from whom?

[emulatorloo]

14. Take it back from the sane people n/t

[XanaDUer]

15. Oh, right.

Yeah, I forgot myself.

[bulloney]

17. In Palin's little mind, she thinks the Founding Fathers were a bunch of Christian fanatics.

There have been several posts on this website that prove that was not the case. They were largely deists. We're talking some of the heavyweights of the Founding Fathers, like Jefferson, Madison, Washington and Franklin.

18. Sister Sarah

gives a new meaning to IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Diarrhea of the mouth

Constipation of the brain

19. from Real Time: Tea bagger movement should be called 'Ball Sack In Mouth Movement'...

given what is coming out of their mouths lately, I would say it was entirely appropriate

21. Hmmm..that doesn't sound very supportive of her president during a time of war.
