Now do you see how fucking horrible what Palin said was and how fucking stupid those of you defending it sound? Probably not, if you had the capability to learn you would never defend Palin to begin with.
I don't see anyone defending what Palin said. But what I do see is a poor attempt by yourself to save face after you made an ass of yourself and then continued to make an ass of yourself. You're a progressive, we get that. You think you're superior, we get that. But do know that we fully understand what you're doing in this thread and on a personal level, it really makes me laugh - very loud - at you. You ain't all that. Your ego is massive but you don't have the brainpower to carry off this ruse. But I gave you a five and you should rejoice in that minor victory.

You know what, I realized I hadn't watched the actual clip and had mostly gone by second hand accounts. I finally watched the clip. What Palin said was significantly worse than what Bashir said. They're not even close. Anyone who isn't attacking Palin for this but is attacking Bashir needs to have their head examined.

Man, if our next President is a Republican that'd be like the Holocaust. Yeah, that'd be exactly like 6 million Jews being tortured and murdered...

Now do you see how fucking horrible what Palin said was and how fucking stupid those of you defending it sound? Probably not, if you had the capability to learn you would never defend Palin to begin with.


Pathetic excuse for a human being from Incorruptible is like the best compliment I can imagine. If someone with as skewed of a perspective as you dislikes me I certainly must be doing things right then.



And I guess if what Palin said was ok then all Bashir was saying is that Palin deserves to know what it feels like to be in debt. Since apparently that's all slavery is.

Still not surprised that a leftist a moron won't condemn Bashir. This isn't new and slavery and debt have been used together many times before.

Statements defending Palin's comments have been said in this thread by Doc Savage Fan, Fern, Incorruptible, Matt1970, Zaap, cubby1223, IGBT, ... I'm tired of naming them all, but you can look through the thread and find them easily. I guess I can't blame you since you've proven before that your brain is just barely functional enough to type; reading more than a sentence at a time, critically thinking, basic judgment are all pretty much impossible for you. And it's not so much that I have an ego, it's that I'm just aware I'm better than you and people like you.

Still not surprised that a leftist a moron won't condemn Bashir. This isn't new and slavery and debt have been used together many times before.
Well fucknut I have said he went too far and said he was over the line in this thread. I just also pointed out that Palin's belittling of slavery is worse, because IT IS. So just go on being Incorruptible (I can't think of a worse insult to call you than your own name else I'd have put that there)

I wonder if his viewer will mount a protest.
Great! Now I have Mountain Dew in my sinuses!

The concept of debt slavery appears to elude you. I'm surprised that such a highly intelligent person as yourself struggles with understanding such a pedestrian concept.

Here's a few articles to help stoke your "moderation of slavery" outrage...enjoy.

Hmmm There is a lot that going around. I wonder if those outraged with Palian are just as outraged at those on the left that use the exact same wordage....

FYI, I think shes a fucking ditze but I'm lost on why all you on the left have such a hardon for her.

He was just being a role model of the civil discourse that permeates our society and permits sincere compromise at the highest levels of our government.

Oh wait.

PS: Palin has no business running for federal office.

I had heard that Sarah Palin had said some things ... and then Martin Bashir had commented about it. Then I heard that Bashir had appologized to Palin for what he had said. Now I hear that Bashir has resign (been told to?) from his position as a presenter.

Curious as to what all this was about I visited Youtube to get the 411. First, I watch Palin's video and then Bashir's. Frankly, what Palin said isn't too far off the mark ... about slavery that is. When you owe (and we owe a lot) we are virtual slaves to our debt. Then I watch Bashir's video and couldn't believe what I was watching. Bashir's commentary was so unprofessional, even compared to MSNBC's standards that I cannot believe that ANYONE (at MSNBC) would have allowed him to go on-the-air with it. So unprofessional, so crazy. What was MSNBC thinking?

Simple, they see pundits from Fox News as offensive and not worthy to occupy the same airwaves they do.

Review some of their comments about Rush for confirmation. Even when hes right, hes still wrong because hes Rush. Hes also directly responsible for the gridlock in Washington and the failures of Obamacare.

The problem here is the term slavery, but there is no other word to use when talking about being so far gone in debt that even your great grand children will still be paying what you should have.

Debt slavery has been around for centuries, the left just hammers home on it because it's there mantra. If there is anyway to link it blacks and racism then by all means.
Really the only interesting thing about this whole story is MSNBC not condemning it. That just speaks volumes.

This is where thraashman is coming from...quoting because I didn't want this to get lost in the shuffle.

That's why they are referred to as the Liberal "Elite"

You asked what I have suffered as a result of the debt. I know it's hard for you to understand but taking money from me makes me suffer.

Yeah taxes are totally equal to slavery! I've read books from former slaves and they all had one thing in common, taxes made them feel like slaves all over again! /s

Perhaps you should move to a country where there are no taxes and then you could experience what "real" freedom is.

Ps
I'd love to see the scars from all the taxes you've paid they must be brutal considering you consider it a form of suffering.

A real example if suffering would be the people that actually have to put up with you in real life!

I doubt there are many (if any) of us who do not have some slave blood, but slavery was a black only institution for the last couple hundred years it existed in large scale in the Western world. A black guy and I may both have slave blood, but I've likely had four or more times as long to claw my way back into the middle of the pack.

Regardless, the effect of slavery today is virtually nil, but the end of Jim Crow segregation, a vicious (and largely Democrat) systemic and systematic denial to blacks of privileges guaranteed by our Constitution, was within my lifetime. It wasn't total - my mother worked with a black pharmacist in the sixties and seventies in our small Tennessee town - but it definitely made it harder for blacks to prosper. Hell, that was its stated intent, to protect good jobs and educational resources for decent whites. (Apparently this was before we had bright, articulate, light-skinned black people, which according to Dusty Harry Reid are the ones we need to take seriously.) Everyone in America has the opportunity to succeed, but the more road blocks thrown in your path the more difficult that becomes and the less likely a good outcome.

It really is weird how the Democrats were once evil and became a force for good while the Republicans were once good and became a force for evil. I wish the Republicans would have remained how they once were and that only the Democrats had changed, we would be so much better off as a society.

At least he's honest about how he feels...you've got to give him that.

That's the one area that progs ARE honest about. They think that they're the next step in human evolution. Given their innate sense of 'superiority', they believe that they're justified in doing / saying anything they want and that anyone that doesn't think like them is inferior. This allows them to rationalize all forms of their bigoted abusive behavior.

Well in the end it was largely how liberals shifted to the Democrat party and conservatives to the Republican party. And if the conservatives of P&N (and government) are any indication, it's impossible to be good and conservative.

Nobody is saying taxes are exactly like what the blacks went through in our country infancy. I suppose you become equally enraged when you hear someone say they are a slave to the grind? Did you even hook up an IDE drive and notice the slave setting? I guess what you are saying is that unless you have scars on your body, you weren't in slavery. In your mind there seems to be only one form of slavery. Or at least that's the way you feel when a Conservative uses the term.

Thanks for putting it is such 3rd grade terms.
