Phalin: "I don't want that misunderstood. If that's the way it came across, I apologize."

[jefferson_dem]

Um ... how about ... fuck off, Hokeymarm.

"I Apologize"
Tuesday, October 21st,



Palin tells CNN her remarks on the values of "the real America" and the "pro-America areas of this great nation" weren't meant to imply some parts of the country are more patriotic than others.

"I don't want that misunderstood. If that's the way it came across, I apologize."

1. A day late and a dollar short...beetch!!!!

[cliffordu]

2. "stupid is as stupid does..."

[polichick]

3. Of course that's what she meant to imply - what a lying liar!

[Lucky 13]

4. She saw what happened to Bachmann and took note.

They all should. We're not going to tolerate this shit any longer. Fuck off Sarah.

[Phredicles]

39. Funny, she and Bachmann are both apologizing all of a sudden,

But only because they think they have to, not because they think they did anything wrong. So they can both fuck the hell off.

[my2sense]

5. They must be really desperate

I can't believe this arrogant BITCH (yeah I said it) is apologizing.

[Occam Bandage]

6. So...what, exactly, did she mean by singling out "pro-America" parts of America?

[jefferson_dem]

10. She just said she doesn't want to be misunderstood.

My God! Hasn't she done enough?

...

:sarcasm:

[blueclown]

7. Why don't these lying sacks of shit ever own up to their comments?

Instead of cowering when they realize the political ramifications of their idiotic comments?

[Kdillard]

8. Sure and I have a bridge to sell you Sarah.

[Ikonoklast]

23. She already has her own, but

It don't go nowhere.

[Kdillard]

33. lol

[political_Dem]

9. Yet she won't apologize for an audience shouting out, "Kill Him!"

She is just full of crap. I can't wait until the citizens of Alaska take care of her.

[Mariana]

17. Haven't you heard? That never happened.

:sarcasm:

[FrenchieCat]

11. Problem is she said it again and again!

We know she's stupid, but not that stupid!

[Jackpine Radical]

12. In what respect, Churl?

Like, could you eleborate? What exactly DID you mean?

[endarkenment]

13. She's developing a sneer.

The NASTY lurks within!

[skooooo]

14. B*****!

[billyoc]

15. Save it for the grand jury, Ma Barker.

[AlCzervik]

16. Shut your Hate Hole.

[speedoo]

26. Hate Hole: definitely works.

Oh yeah, thanks for that.

Speaking of hate holes, David Gregory is hosting George {Macaca) Allen right now.

[Virginia Dare]

41. She hates, therefore she is...n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. that is the biggest piece of bullshit since mission accomplished

[BlooInBloo]

19. It wasn't misunderstood in the least.

[David__77]

20. Phony apology. She SAID it! What's to "misunderstand??"

Perhaps it "comes across" in a certain way because that was her explicit statement. She could have apologized by saying, "I misspoke. Every area of the country is important and we want to represent all Americans."

[Shakespeare]

21. Can someone please take her blush away from her?

Those two brown stipes on the sides of her face look AWFUL.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

28. And what's with the hairdo? Is she resurrecting "the Rachel"? nt

[rucky]

22. Classic Republican non-Apology Apology

not apologizing for what was said, but for the way other people reacted.

[theothersnippywshrub]

25. You betcha doggone it! And also, you bethcha! Also. n/t

[beachmom]

24. Sounds like the internal polling told them it was not working. nt

[Marsala]

27. I'm astonished that she's apologizing at all

I wonder if this is yet another example of her going off script and off message? The McCain campaign has pushed the "apologize for nothing" tactic to the limit so far.

[medicswife]

29. Palin gave an interview on CNN???? Holy cow. Is the sun going

to fall out of the sky? Did she say anything stupid?

[workinclasszero]

30. Bullshit Mooselini, we know exactly what you meant

you fascist McCarthyite!



HAVE YOU NO SHAME PALIN????

[yellowcanine]

31. How the hell else could it come across. If someone talks about the "Pro America Areasof the

Country" the flipside is that the other areas of the country are not pro-America. Dumb shit. And is Alaska one of the pro-America areas, Sarah? Is that why you praised a group that wants to secede?

[neverforget]

32. Sanjaya Palin will soon be voted off American Presidential Election.

That's enough for me

[City Lights]

34. Apology not accepted.

Because you're a lying sack of shit. You meant what you said. You're only back peddling because people are calling you on it.

[mokawanis]

35. She has no dignity

Everybody heard her say it and the comments are crystal clear. There's no "misunderstanding". Apology not accepted.

She's finding out voters are smarter than she thought, but it's too late. You can't insult an entire nation and then explain it away. Palin and Bachmann are cut from the same cloth.

[workinclasszero]

36. Caribou Barbie is worried about 2012

Bring it fascist!

I wanna see President Obama administer yet another beat-down on your un-american head!:D

[NotThisTime]

37. She didn't imply it, she SAID it, plain and simple

[stolivodka]

38. Enjoy your free house while you can!

By the time the investigations are finished, you'll be in taxpayer-supplied accommodations!

[Virginia Dare]

40. Um well yeah, that's the way it came across...

and you can take your non-apology and shove it you stupid wench.

[terrya]

42. Fuck you, you disgusting, lying piece of shit.

[EastTennesseeDem]

43. Don't apologize. I didn't misunderstand it.

[EastTennesseeDem]

44. DP

Sorry

[Disturbed]

48. Are her friends in the AIP pro-America?

[TheKentuckian]

45. I can't even decline her apology

because in order to make one YOU HAVE TO OWN WHAT YOU DID WRONG FIRST YOU STUPID SKANK!

[Wolfies Revenge]

46. doesnt she have some alaskan tax payers to rip off?

[TwilightGardener]

47. Idiot. Even George W. played the game better than this. You're supposed to

give the IMPRESSION that you represent the "real, patriotic" America, not actually come out and SAY it.

[backscatter712]

49. I understood her just fine.

Apology NOT accepted!!!

:mad:

[ddeclue]

50. Hey Gov! It came across that way because you said it that way!

Apology NOT accepted.

Doug D.

[northernlights]

51. no need to apologize, Ms. Bitch. You're message was loud and clear

There's 2 murkas.

There's "real murka" (us) and there's "unreal murka" (them)

There's "pro murka" (us) and there's "anti murka" (them)

Now why don't you go back to Alaska, home of "real pro murkans".

And leave the rest of us (them) the fuck alone. We're sick of you and your OBNOXIOUS, FINGERNAILS ON CHALKBOARD VOICE. Not to mention your unbelievable stupidity.

[JuniperLea]

52. Bull fucking shit you ignorant bitch!

What more can be meant by "the real America" and the "pro-America areas of this great nation"?

That's almost worse than McCain changing the meaning of "the fundamentals of our economy are strong". They are both lying sacks of putrid crap!

[elkston]

53. It couldn't have been interpreted any other way you stupid TWIT! (n/t)

[Batgirl]

54. The absolutely one and only reason for her to fake-apologize is that the tactic backfired.

Today's Salon featured a conversation with "three leading demographers and trend analysts" who expressed surprised at how dated and out of it Palin appeared by issuing the Unreal American smears:

Salon: Is there anything — in terms of trend analysis or demographics — that either campaign is doing in not an individual ad or one comment but as a consistent theme that makes you think, "What country do they think we're living in?"

Francese: Sarah Palin is the classic example of that. What country does she think we're living in? If you listen to what she says at various rallies, she's talking to a very small segment of American voters who really are going to vote for someone that they think is like them. But in fact her anti-intellectualism does not play well in most suburban and other areas. Her constant play to people who she thinks are sort of put-upon by the more intelligent, the more well-educated part of the society, and her constant talk about the fact that Obama is an elitist of some sort is really misguided in the sense that it may appeal to a small group of people who feel aggrieved because they don't have the education to get ahead in this information-based society. But it is politically foolish in my view.

Russell: I think it has real tones of Spiro Agnew. It seems to me very, very dated. That whole anti-intellectual—

Francese: Anti-media—

Russell: Exactly.

Salon: The nattering nabobs of negativism.

Russell: Sarah Palin is playing on the rural versus urban battle in the United States. Americans have a love affair with the rural, but in fact most Americans are urban or suburban today. Unfortunately, our political system is set up so that the rural areas have a great deal of political power, in the Senate. I think that the trying to play up this rural vote ... can be effective because so many Americans relate to it. But ultimately, the suburban and urban voter should numerically take precedent.

Francese: Only 20 percent of Americans live in rural areas."

If there is any genuine regret from McCain/Palin it would only come from a dawning realization that they've just shit in their own nest.
