Palin Misquotes Albright: "Place In Hell Reserved For Women Who Don't Support Other Women"

At a rally on Saturday in California, Sarah Palin offered up a rather jarring argument for supporting the Republican ticket. "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women," the Alaska Governor said, claiming she was quoting former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

The statement came after Palin had recounted a "providential" moment she experienced on Saturday: "I'm reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, okay? The quote of the day... It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State [crowd boos] and UN ambassador. ... Now she said it, I didn't. She said, 'There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women.'"

Actually, Albright didn't say that. The accurate quote is, "There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't help other women." (Sources made the same point to CBS's Scott Conroy.)

Palin seemed to realize that the line could be viewed as grating. As the audience cheered, she remarked: "Okay, now, thank you so much for receiving that well. I didn't know how that was gonna go over. And now, California, let's see what a comment like I just made, how that is turned into whatever it'll be turned into tomorrow with the newspaper."

Albright responded to Palin's remarks in a statement to the Huffington Post on Sunday. "Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics. This is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth, and all the more reason to remember that this campaign is not about gender, it is about which candidate has an agenda that will improve the lives of all Americans, including women. The truth is, if you care about the status of women in our society and in our troubled economy, the best choice by far is Obama-Biden."

************************************************

Context provided in the video per the link. Palin says "all of us who consider ourselves progressive(!!), [beat, then very quickly] and at the same time we can be conservative, we are going to shatter the highest glass ceiling in america." Did she refer to herself as a progressive conservative?? And did she admit to drinking Starbucks? What an elitist! She IS a maverick!

Then she goes and gets Albright's quote wrong, and then anticipates that newspapers will attack her for using the quote. Dolt, they'll portray you as dumb, but not because of the contents of the quote, but because you got the quote wrong and probably don't apperciate the difference.

Palin has certainly livened up the Presidential race.
She's like a multi-car accident with everyone stopping and staring.

What does gender have to do with whether or not you should help someone? Both versions of the quote are moronic and divisive.

Support = help.

Albright is an idiot. What difference does gender make? Isn't that what feminism is all about?

"Support" in the political context means who you endorse. It does not mean "help." Albright clarified that she was in no way talking about politics when she said the quote.

You guys really don't understand that distinction?

You're the idiot, Albright wasn't talking about feminism, she was talking about helping woman in nations where they are considered chattel and are brutalized.

I can see someone after the election putting together "Palin's Greatest Hits".

Really strange that she said it when she realized it might not go over well.

Albright - "This campaign is not about gender"

The left is nothing but about gender and the fact someone like Palin who is so like tens of million of women in this country is stroking a cord is just galling to the left wing. Thankfully, the Republican party is on the right side of supporting women anywhere, politics or not.

Well now we know what her reading sources are.

Isn't Starbucks pretty elitist, though? I'm surprised she fessed up to patronizing them.

sweeping generalizations are fun no?

here's one for ya:

The republicans wanted nothing to do with powerful women in politics only until McCain shanghai'd the party by selecting a nobody as his running mate. Now they have no choice but to begrudgingly support a woman that is so ultra conservative she makes McCain's teeth hurt.

there, see anyone can do it!

Who are also not qualified for VP?

By voting against equal pay laws, by wanting to outlaw abortion, by providing aid to foreign countries only if they teach abstinence only? do tell...

I'll bet you think Reps are also advocates for minorities and gays too, right?

No shit, no wonder she's so inarticulate.

Palin is an idiot for even bothering to quote that old worthless bag of bones.

You're an idiot of you actually believe any of this.

 

[StageLeft]

Is she going to keep playing this media victim card up until the very end?

I'd take being half right over being 100% wrong each time like you sweet cheeks.

I think we have seen all that we are going to see of Palin.

Isn't that just disgusting? the gal can't hold her own against Gibson and Couric. She only talks to the Hannitys and Hewitts of the media. She is basically a barbie doll in a box meant to drum up support for McCain, because if left to his individual popularity, the GOP would not be enthusiastic about this ticket.

She is bizarre and enigmatic. And she will be a 72 year old heartbeat away from being president.

Maybe the hypocrite hockey mom should practice what she preached to Hillary? :laugh:

That's exactly why I will never vote for her. She's just one more average, unexceptional person. I look for a little more in someone who could become President, it's a shame that so many others don't.

Most Republican women probably don't care/ don't know/ don't remember who Madeline Albright is.

Why name drop a figure from the past? I thought she scolded Joe Biden for not looking to the future.

Funny, most of the women I talk to think she is a douchbag.

Wow.

Just...wow. This may be, hands down and without question, the most stupid fucking thing I have ever read on the internet. Congratulations, the level of ignorance displayed in your post means that not only do you fail at the internet but in life, as well. I pity anyone who has to interact with you on a daily basis or even come within a 10 foot radius of your desk or failing that, a 20 foot radius of the milk crate you're standing on in the middle of Times' Square, smashing your face against the keyboard is a sad, sad pathetic attempt at political discourse.
