Sarah Palin suggested Wednesday that her son's arrest on domestic violence charges this week stemmed from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and - in part - the president's lack of "respect" for veterans.

Addressing what she called "the elephant in the room" during a rally in support of Donald Trump, Palin said her son Track came back "different" from his year-long deployment in Iraq.

"My son, like so many others, they come back a bit different, they come back hardened, they come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airmen every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country," she said after alluding to the arrest.

"It starts from the top. The question though it comes from our own president, when they have to look at him and wonder, do you know what we go through, do you know what we're trying to do to secure America and to secure the freedoms that have been bequeathed us?" she added. "So when my own son is going through what he goes through, coming back, I can certainly relate with other families who feel these ramifications of some PTSD and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with."

"You have blamed the president for your son's wife-beating. Is he also to blame for Bristol's series of out-of-wedlock babies?"

unfortunately, I can only tell you, when my two brothers returned from VietNam, they were supported by their family and friends and given all the love we could muster....a sturdy base from which to launch their future, no matter what that may be..their choice - they are doing just fine to this day....

My dear Sarah, our family strongly suggests you get back to your family and nurture your children and help them make good decisions for their future, accepting responsibility for own actions is a good place to start -

This is for the sake of their future, not YOUR FUTURE, whatever you think that might be (she should have been a clown, she missed her calling,) no offense to clowns - ...

All I want from this nut is that she just go away - she is dumbing down America and insulting our intelligence....makes you wonder just how much she is getting paid to spew this nuttery????

McCain for exposing us to this toxic, waste dump of a human being and the subsequent fascination of the median with all things related to the Caribou Barbie. Even more frightening was that she could have been a heart beat away from the Presidency.

She just talks out of her ass--WTF about President Obama disrespecting the troops by not sending them in to destroy ISIS?

OMFG. No words.

Fuck you, John McCain, for foisting this mean-spirited dumbass onto the American people. You have done a lot of desicable things, but this was the worst one of all. Go to hell.

21. Credibility With Evangelicals
Mon Feb 1, 2016, 02:20 PM
Feb 2016

How/why does Sarah Palin have credibility with evangelicals? One of her kids had two children outside of marriage with two different men. Some have reported that her son's ex-wife was pregnant before he married her. He and his wife later got a divorce after having been married for a short period of time, maybe a year.

Dumbo? An insult to elephants. As far as I know, they nurture their young, look out for all their herd-members (even the Democratic Dumbos), and best of all, know when to shut the f*** up and retire to the old elephants' graveyard.

When somebody just babbles the way she does, it's so much more mentally exhausting to try and filter out all the noise and follow her stream of consciousness and hope that it actually gets somewhere logical.
