GRAYSON: Palin is trying to make "fascism fashionable."

Rep. Grayson: Palin trying to make 'fascism fashionable,' 'gets away with it'
By Bob Cusack - 04/25/10 10:02 AM ET

Outspoken Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) criticized Sarah Palin, Chief Justice John Roberts and the Tea Party on Bill Maher's HBO show.

Grayson compared tea partiers to a character in the movie "Nemo" who can't remember anything that happened more than a year ago. He said former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) is trying to make "fascism fashionable." And he mocked Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy for being out of touch with technology.

...........

"I think she's gotten a pass from the media," Grayson said, adding, "She's trying to make fascism fashionable and she gets away with it."

1. the twits who admire her probably think fascism is a fancy pronunciation
of fashion, so he's gonna further confuse them.

2. fascism is already quite fashionable, and quiet ubiquitous in DC
and in the laws passed by our corrupt congress.

Palin is actually trying to bring about a new Dark Ages, and feudalism.

Fascism is already here.

3. "American fascists of this stamp were clandestinely aligned with their German counterparts before...
"...the war, and are even now preparing to resume where they left off, after 'the present unpleasantness' ceases."

20. High heeled shoes in a snowstorm -that's Palin alright
Not to mention the lack of gloves or mitts or the thin oh-so-stylish pants and jacket. She wouldn't last more than 4 hours if she got stranded somewhere in a snowstorm in a disabled vehicle.

The mental agility of a small soap dish.

9. I don't recall.



I Googled the pic hoping to find a news article with names but struck out.

I do remember from watching it live that they were both quite amused.

:kick: Kicking to see if anyone else can provide any names.

7. She gets more than a pass
from the media. Nothing she says is ever challenged and it is repeated time and again as if it bears any resemblance to truth and reality.

I also like this one from The Mudflats that pretty well captures her "mean girl" persona.

29. Palin is not even 'material', she is pure illusion...
Palin has absolutely zero substance. None. She is a walking buzzword factory with eager imbeciles readily lapping each one up. She is no leader. If she was she would not have quit as the governor of a state and betrayed her entire constituency. How can she lead when she is being led by an insatiable appetite for money? She is 100% fake and shame on the media for giving her any credibility at all. But all the media cares about is making money. And face it, they make money off of promoting the Sarah Palin circus freak show.

25. Kudos To Grayson For Calling Like It Is...
Palin is busy mainstreaming fascism, but gets a complete free pass. Heck, she says the same stuff as Beck, but with half the outrage.
