I don't own a gun,
but if I did, I'd load it right now and fire at the TV, where I'm watching CNN and Bigmouth Palin, who has the incredible arrogance and gall to deign to give advice to President-elect Obama about what he should do as President.

Have I lost my mind, or is this mindless twit so full of herself that she's lost her grip on reality? I mean, even as mayor of Wasilla, she left the town $20,000,000 in debt.

And she has the NERVE to try to tell our President-elect what he should do?????

I need a gun.....................

20. They are trying to "groom" her for later.
Plus it gets audience share, this soon after the election.

3. Turn off the TV
Edited on Wed Nov-12-08 06:32 PM by Wickerman
phone a friends. I sympathize, but that shooting the TV only turns out good in the movies.

4. I own more than 50 guns and never feel impulses like that
I suggest that you turn off your TV at once, find something better to do, and try to avoid watching anything to do with Sarah Palin from now on.

5. I don't even know anyone who owns a gun (except for a few farmers that have shotguns).

16. Interesting, I know few people who don't own a gun...
and one of the last just bought a .410 shotgun.

I live in a small town in Northern Florida. This area has a strong gun culture and many people hunt deer and hog in season. Before the election, I got a call from a local Democratic campaign. They knew I had obtained an absentee ballot and ask me to make sure that I voted for their candidate as "He has a great record on supporting gun owners rights and has a excellent rating from the NRA and you know how important the Second Amendment is!" That was their single argument.

His Republican opponent also had an excellent NRA rating. I voted for the Democrat as all the local people said he was an excellent man who treated all people fairly. Besides, I prefer to vote for Democrats.

6. Despite her husband's best efforts, she's an American citizen. She does get to give advice
It's just not worth more than anybody else's.

9. I do own a gun
And would never dream of doing something like that. Bullets can go past their intended target and may strike someone causing injury or death. Never point a firearm at something that you do not intend to destroy. You don't need a gun. You need a foam bat!!

Aside from that I understand your frustration. Palin really is a twit. She will be her own undoing. She isn't as clever as Cheney who had the sense to stay under the radar all these years. She is more like a televangelist who preaches and preaches until they get caught with a stripper. Palin will sink herself sooner or later. I seriously doubt she will ever be anything more than a sideshow from the 2008 election.

10. Buy a nerf gun...
Edited on Wed Nov-12-08 07:09 PM by spin
When someone comes on TV and pisses you off, grab the nerf gun and blast away. It is fun and relieves anger without damaging your TV. Try it, you'll like it. It's neat when you can stick 6 nerf darts on their face.

11. Wanna buy one? (You're not a convicted felon or insane are you?)
I could make a few suggestions depending on your situation

12. Thank you, you're very kind
I'm not a convicted felon, but, at this point, I'm not sure anyone would vouch for my sanity. That Palin woman has got to go away. She has to GO AWAY AND BE QUIET.

What kills me is that there are people out there who think she's really actually saying something.

And their votes count the same as ours.

I hate that.

Thank you, though...................

15. Just remember TLB
The people who think she is saying something are the same people that voted for her and McCain during the election. THEY LOST!! It's ok. The rest of us know that she's dumber than a bag of hammers. She will be gone soon enough with out having to resort to violence. The best part is that she will be the cause of her own political demise.

18. I know you're right,
but I just fixed myself a Xanax/Vicodin smoothie, and, somehow, I'm just not as distressed about that flaming idiot as I was a while ago. Of course, she's not on my TV any more, either.

I'm hoping my old Italian grandmother was right when she said, "You spit up in the air, it lands in your face."

By the way, Welcome to DU!!!

23. It is VERY IMPORTANT that we expose and publicize her wacky dominunism the next four years
She is an unstable hybrid of Rushdooney Dominionism and Rapture Ready fatalist

She thinks she is the modern Queen Esther and the numbers of wackos that agree with her on that are growing.

She truly believes God is guiding her and lifting her into power to start Armageddon

If she gets anywhere near the Nuclear Football the entire world will suffer unimaginable destruction

This is Very Important. We need to organize a DU task Force on this.

13.  Watch something more intellectually interesting
Right now I am watching a show on Science Channel about the pink fairy armadillo that is about 4 inches long and lives in the far western desert of Argentina. They seem to be sand swimmers and seldom come out on the surface. Cute little guys that I had never heard of.


http://www.itsnature.org/ground/mammals-land/pink-fairy-armadillo/

Much more interesting than Sarah Palin! And I do not feel as though I have lost IQ points by watching a show about them.

17. I used to have a virtual gun right on my desktop
and when I was stressed I could shoot up the entire PC. I don't know what happened to it?

19. I would loan you one of mine,
but I hate to waste a perfectly good TV.
1. Change the channel.
2. Email the newtork, and say," I will never watch any programming featuring Sarah Palin, now and forever."

If they get a few thousand of those, you will never see her again.

I refuse to look at her or McCain or any RW leaning programing, and I tell the networks how I feel.
