Palin credits Bush, not Obama for Bin Laden kill

[RandySF]

AKEWOOD — Less than 24 hours after the world learned Osama bin Laden was dead, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took the stage at Colorado Christian University to headline a group of speakers who paid tribute to American troops and hailed the killing of the world's most-wanted man.

"Their courage and their determination brought us justice," Palin said of those who hunted the terrorist figurehead for nearly 10 years. "They know that freedom isn't free. It's a God-given right and worth fighting for."
Palin never mentioned President Barack Obama by name — instead saying, "We thank President (George W.) Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory."
The death of the man Palin called "the public face of Islamic terrorism" struck a recurring chord throughout "Tribute to the Troops," which had been in the works long before bin Laden's death.

1. Hey Palin, read my Signature

[Old and In the Way]

2. Of course she did.

She's incapable of giving credit where it's due...small people seldom do.

[CurtEastPoint]

3. She is an irrelevant blob of protoplasm whose moment in the sun has ended.

[still_one]

4. Does anyone really care what that idiot thinks? Why is the media even covering her opinion, she

is nothing.

Her 15 minutes of fame have come and gone, can the media start dealing with real issues already

[rurallib]

13. the media covers her because she echos the line they want to push

The corporate media will be right in the thick of the beat Obama camp from here on out. Especially FUX.

[hifiguy]

5. Yet more proof, if any was needed,

that the Shrieking Cow is dumber than ditch water.

[Frances]

6. Palin will say anything to get news coverage

People have been ignoring her so she needs to say something outrageous to get the attention she craves. Next she'll say God told her to give Bush credit.

[peekaloo]

7. as i posted elsewhere she also credits Jesus for the Easter Bunny and Santa.

[Mz Pip]

8. She's just so petty

It's not a leadership quality. In a time where the country should come together she's out there trying her best to be divisive. statements like this come across as being immature and stupid.

It's really pretty pathetic.

[Renew Deal]

9. Right calls except...

Sending 15K soldiers to Afghanistan and letting the "Northern Alliance" do the dirty work.
Giving up on the search
Invading the wrong country
Giving up again in 2006
And much much more.

[Sheepshank]

10. Oh, is she still speaking out?

huh...she's been so far under the radar I suppose she was feeling left out?

[Dulcinea]

11. No surprise there.

She's desperate for attention. Everyone knows she's a has-been except her.

[rsmith6621]

12. Another 50000.00 In Palins Pocket...

....and there was no substance to anything she spoke of.

[ThatPoetGuy]

14. Yep, Bush made "the right calls,"

like:

* invading the wrong country
* allowing bin Laden to get away at Tora Bora
* mocking Barack Obama for suggesting tactical raids within Pakistan.

[MindPilot]

15. "They know that freedom isn't free. It's a God-given right and worth fighting for."

Umm, if its "god-given" then it's not necessary to fight for. What am I missing here?

[malaise]

16. Nothing she or any other ReTHUG says will change

a fugging fact. Obama got Osama!

[Rocknrule]

17. Well of course

Everyone who's smart enough to watch Fox News knows that Bin Laden was actually killed by supernova lasers emitting from W's codpiece

19. She's just a sore loser.

Obama smoked the ticket she was on in a big way.

[TheKentuckian]

20. What an empty fuckwit!

[TransitJohn]

21. I'm assuming you're referring to Palin, and not me.

:hi:

[TheKentuckian]

33. Sorry about that. Phailin for sure.

[NYC Liberal]

22. With Republicans, Bush gets credit for all the good things

and none of the blame for any of the bad.

[Jack Rabbit]

24. What good things did Bush do?

[NYC Liberal]

25. I mean they give Bush credit for good things that Obama does

and none of the blame for any of the bad things Bush DID cause.

[Jack Rabbit]

27. True, for the bad things they blame Clinton or Obama

Which means that Clinton must have been president when al-Qaida attacked the Twin Towers and Pentagon and that that Obama must have been president during the 2008 Wall Street meltdown.

This seems to suggest that Bush was never president. That's something I maintained ever since the 2000 coup d'etat.

32. He stated that he believed "the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully".

Saving us from the specter of war against fish populations planet-wide.

[Very_Boring_Name]

30. They did the same thing when Clinton was president

Every good thing was due to reagan, every bad thing was due to clinton.

[Javaman]

23. failin quitter makes another half assed statement? color soooooo surprised. nt

[Urban Prairie]

26. It ALMOST would be worth the price of admission to attend one of Scarah's

speeches, and yell from the back of the audience during a few moments of silence while Palin stops spewing momentarily to check her "palm" notes, or to take a breath.."WHAT ABOUT OBAMA, SARAH??" and see how/if she would react and respond...

[IDemo]

28. Little known to many here

GW actually traveled by military Segway across thousands of miles to conduct this mission. Arriving under cover of darkness, he challenged the guard to a "scissors/paper/rock" contest and won, gaining entrance to the compound, The rest is his story.

Or so the 19 Percenters, Faux and crazy Sarah would say.

[guitar man]

29. I remember a bit of a cartoon

...from when I was a kid. Can't remember the exact cartoon but it was probably one of the looney tunes or merry melodies cartoons.

Anyway, in the bit that I remember, someone puts a yappy little dog outside and slams the door. All you can see is the little dog through the window that has been shut outside jumping up and down and yapping, but you can't hear a thing. It yaps furiously but it is totally ignored.... I don't know why I thought of that just now. :evilgrin:

31. Lakewood is where I grew up.

I want to go back there with a big bottle of bleach and clean her stench off.
