Interesting article. Makes some strong and salient points.

the article:

Sarah Palin has made it to the big time; she’s now being called out by international media. Yesterday, the Russian newspaper Pravda (this same paper has been quoted in numerous Right Wing publications when it criticized President Obama, and was considered a paper of merit at such time) eviscerated Sarah Palin for her unrelenting attacks upon the democratically elected President, at a time when America needs to stand together, united. When members of the International Press call Sarah Palin out for her lack of American patriotism, it’s time for the American Press to pay attention. It’s about time someone did.

Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey writes in Pravda:

“By attacking the democratically elected President of the United States of America at a sensitive time in her country’s history, she shows the tact of a boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeral….

And now she turns not only against the fibre and backbone of her country, but against its democratically elected President, accusing him of being incompetent for not stopping Wikileaks. Where was she and where was her GOP before and during the 9/11 attacks? She accuses President Obama of not taking “steps” to assure the leaks were not published. What “steps”?……

If anything is a threat to the national security of the United States of America, it is this screaming, unrefined oaf with as much class as a searing release of flatulence followed by hysterical giggling at a state banquet. Is this what the people of the USA deserve?

To attack the President of the country at a time when the USA needs to close ranks and stand together to consolidate the enormous strides his (President Obama’s) intelligent and respectful approach has achieved in building bridges, when her party’s period in government bombed them, Spankin’ Sarah Palin comes across as a pitifully inadequate anachronism from the times of the Far West.”

The American Press won’t say what the International Press will for a variety of reasons, but suffice it to say that there are many agendas at play here, causing truth to take a back-seat to dollars. As a noted US media critic once said, “everything to sell and nothing to tell.” And what a shame, because this isn’t about partisanship or even elitism; it’s about patriotism and who better to cover this issue than our domestic press?

Ms Palin cloaks her myth in her flag, but one has to question just what that symbol represents to Ms Palin, given that she won’t stop attacking this country’s sitting President during each crisis that presents itself. The word patriotism derives from the Greek patriōtēs meaning “fellow countryman”; that would include all of us, even President Obama. I’m afraid Ms Palin and her followers conflate their false community of nationalism with patriotism, and under the guise of said nationalism, justify harming America’s standing in the world along with the very unity of our nation. One can’t help but question Ms Palin’s true motives, along with her jingoistic, tabloid-driven patriotism, since she beats this drum of division in each public appearance she makes.

One wonders, can Sarah Palin can see what the Russians see: a shrill, desperate demagogue more interested in making money and getting famous than in the best interests of her country; a woman so jealous of a sitting President that she takes every blow her country faces and exploits it, turning it into an even more negative, frightening moment while distracting from the real work – never once stepping into the debate to lead, to soothe, to unite.

Never once has Ms Palin shown her love for this great country by standing by it and her President in a time of need. Instead, she views each crisis as a cynical opportunity to sow the seeds of division among fellow countrymen. During the oil spill crisis, she took to Fox News to spew nonsense about the Dutch not getting their phone calls received, claiming she knew how to fix the leak if only the President had called on her. Of course, since she was on Fox News, no one bothered to ask her why, then, she did nothing to stop the oil spills that took place during her brief tenure as Governor of Alaska.

When she went to Hong Kong for a speaking engagement, Ms. Palin attacked her President on foreign soil during a time of war. On her first book tour, Palin and her entourage of hit men (aka, her father, et al) attacked the Commander in Chief on military bases. In times of major decisions regarding the war in Afghanistan, Palin has mocked the President when he followed the course of action recommended by his Generals. On 9/11, Palin bashed the President. In her speeches, Ms Palin is sure to remind her followers that Obama’s foreign policy is weakening America while she accuses the President of not loving his country. During the WikiLeaks crisis, Palin blamed the President instead of calling for a united front for our country.

Ms Palin and her followers justify this unpatriotic behavior by claiming the President is “un-American”. We all know what that’s about but if we’re left with any doubt, we have only to listen to Ms Palin assure her listeners that they have every right to ask for the President’s birth certificate:

And here she is just weeks ago suggesting that the failure to vet the President and his associations has harmed our democracy. Talk about projection.

Ms Palin’s heavily moderated Facebook page was just months ago full of comments calling for the death of our President, sedition, and the overthrowing of the Obama administration as being God’s will. Those comments were left standing while comments questioning Ms Palin in any way were scrubbed. Ms Palin stands for a level of vitriolic, simmering revulsion so steeped in delusions of self-righteousness, it’s tough to swim to sanity once you’ve been washed in the blood her particular lamb.

We are at war, facing a global economic crisis, still reeling from a devastating oil spill and now facing the challenges brought on by the WikiLeaks dump. Yet, on every issue of importance, Palin has inserted herself with jarring accusations against the President, offering nothing but malicious hate fueled by a failure to understand what she doesn’t understand.

Ms Palin’s particular brand of tabloid patriotism leaves out anyone who disagrees with her, beats her in a contest, dares to question her, or has the temerity to actually read and debate important issues. She’s become an international embarrassment:

“If Sarah Palin is not some kind of a massive political joke in the USA, wheeled out to liven up the political scene from time to time with nonsensical and pastiche (one hopes) displays of sheer and utter ignorance, then it is worrying.”

Sarah Palin is the figurehead for an unpatriotic movement here in the United States of America. A movement so bereft of love for this country that they would go to any means to see it fail, in order to elevate themselves into power. A movement which just yesterday met with the democratically elected President of this fine country and then immediately stabbed him in the back in their post-game press conference.

And nestled into this web of traitors is one particularly odious senator, Senator John McCain, upon whose shoulders the blame for this national embarrassment rests. Ms Palin is the front-runner of this group for Presidential candidate in 2012 according to polls. This makes sense, given the Republican Party’s current gamesmanship of our political system, wherein their only goal is to destroy the President – not to lead, not to govern – but to destroy. At any cost necessary.

When the Russians are calling you out for failing to support your country in a time of need, for attempting to bring her to her knees with petty attacks on the President, you have seriously jumped the patriotism shark. Sarah Palin is the traitorous figurehead of the GOP, whose only purpose seems to be to assist them in their goal to bring down President Barack Obama.

So while a scant few of them (Rove, Scarborough, and a few of the “elites” who are not elected officials; the elected officials are quivering in the corner rather than standing up to the myth of Palin lest they alienate what little remains of the Republican Party base) make the rounds distancing themselves from her now, do not forget how they set her into motion in 2008 to do exactly what she’s doing now. And do not forget that even as they take a slight step away from the noxious whiff of disgust that follows in Ms Palin’s wake, they’re not silencing her; they’re not calling her out for her attacks on the President. No, the most they can muster from their cowardly bunkers of fear from which they wage their war on America is mild outrage that she would insult the Bushes or Reagan.

Nary a word about her outrageously destructive actions toward our current President. And why is that? Because Ms Palin is doing the dirty work for the Republican weaklings; sowing seeds of division, suspicion, hatred, and rage against a sitting President.

And those, my friends, are not the actions of a patriot. True Glasnost has arrived when the International Press says what the American Press will not. Sarah Palin is no patriot.

Technically speaking, it isn't treason. I know in Canada you can be tried and hung for treason for not putting maple syrup on your flapjacks, but things work differently here.

Those who need to try to belittle Canada are merely longing for her expansive abundance and purity. :) The article isn't from Canada.

Indeed, hung, shot and ****ed on and not necessarily in that order.
And rightly so.

You should be hung, shot and ****ed on, in that order, just for using the word flapjack. I don't know anyone who calls their pancakes flapjacks, maybe i need to get out more.

i know you are trying to be funny... but canada doesnt execute like the US does...

also, canadian law is better than american law... you cant sue a corp for being too stupid to know your coffee was hot for one thing... well maybe we can now, because american style law is trolling our courthouses... but the numbers speak for themselves... we have less property crime per capita, less murders per capita, less gun crime per capita, less fraud per capita... so are canadian just a better class of human being or is the legal system just that much better??? well, i dont think we're better humans, i have alotta love for many americans... i even lived in cali and was engaged to one, prolly would be one by now or atleast dual... so i dont buy that whole thing that some say canadians are just nicer people and thats why we have a better legal system.... we have a more cohesive system and its working better... simple fact...


and for the record, canada and the US did go to war once... guess who won :D


all that aside, its dumb to compare differences like this, we need to share success, not point to failure... fact of the matter is, at some point, and probably in our lifetimes, canada and US wont exist as they do now...

you should all just thank whatever god you believe in that it wasnt a democrat sitting in 2001... otherwise nothing would have gotten done till them petty (R) kids tore the roof down... i agree with that john wayne quote as far as politics are concerned... what happened??? why is everyone so petty now??? is it the info ago??? is it just too much for the average mind to properly assimilate??? causing massive misconception about very obvious realities??? i always found it so sad how many people are such victims of opinion...

and if thats what you want, fine, work towards it... but enough with the blatant misnomers, the misinformation and the bullsh!t to justify being petty against ur own... she's even attacked her own... many many times... and not just during the elective process...
shes a complete twitt... i will be so embarassed for yall if she even gets the nomination, let alone takes the chair...

Clinton was blasted by Congress for authorizing airstrikes against an opium facility in Afghanistan during his term. Taliban said it was an aspirin factory and Congress was sold, hook, line and sinker.

The reason you can sue a restaurant for being burned by coffee is that our country is focused on protecting the citizen from the corporation, and not vice versa. I could probably sue (and win) BP right now for mental distress caused by worrying about the spill.

The coffee never should have been so hot as to scald someone as badly as it did anyway. That WAS the fault of McDonalds. Too bad you can't sue them for misleading nutritional values too.


As much as I disagree and argue with 1Bad, I do think that corporate and government control over any segment of our freedom is a dangerous thing.

you know what, i'll take it one further, i think macdonalds should be held 100% responsible for their actions... in all levels of law... but we both know that if the coffee wasnt hot people would b!tch and whine about that too... i prefer scalding, i know it is coz thats what i want... i dont want a coffee that is cold in 5 minutes... and so i know i cant just dive into it i either have to wait a sec a i have to air it out...

here you have capltain retard that cant wait to get that coffee in em and guess what, their selfish needs overtook their common sense... and clearly thats everyones fault but their own... ofcourse... ok i'll tell you this, you could hear the laughter up in here from coast to coast during that debacle...

There's a big difference between sued and successfully sued. Sometimes corporations stand their ground. Other times, it's just easier to settle out of court.

fair enough... i was reffering to that with the starbucks thing... but i know you know exactly what im talkin bout!!!


and ofcourse its also more than fair to say that alot of corporations should be sued successfully and arent...

look im not talking about like pg&e hinkley type of stuff... im talking about a system that is easilly exploited by selfish a$sholes who may actually believe they are seeking justice, but arent in any way shape or form...

we all are supposed to be treated equally but the simple fact is we arent... stupid people usually dont reralise they are stupid and malicious smart people will always take advantage of that...


take a look at canadian corporate law for example,trust me, its not perfect, infact it sucks... but its head and shoulders better than the US version... like i said, proof is in the numbers... we are simply a more progressive nation of conservatives...
