"Ehhh, I don't want that misunderstood," said Palin
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 06:49 PM by bigtree
CNN: You've talked about America. And certain parts of America, that are maybe more American than other parts of American, Are there?

Palin: Ehhh, I don't want that misunderstood. No, I do not want that misunderstood. You know, when I go to these rallies and we see the patriotism just shining through these people's faces and the Vietnam veterans wearing their hats so proudly and they have tears in their eyes as we sing our national anthem and it is so inspiring and I say that this is true America, you get it, you understand how important it is that in the next four years we have a leader who will fight for you. I certainly don't want that interpreted as one area being more patriotic or more American than another. If that's the way it's come across, I apologize.

Palin on October 21, 2008-

"We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe" -- here the audience interrupted Palin with applause and cheers -- "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."


Ehhh, that's pretty clear to me.

The governor has no governor.

3. Palin and Bachmann keep trying to put that toothpaste back in the tube.
To their dismay the toothpaste isn't cooperating.

4. Typical non-apologetic apology from a psychopath.
"IF anyone was offended, I'm sorry."

"If that's the way it came across, I'm sorry."

Crawl back under your rock, Palin.

6. i think it was a freudian slip
the politician Palin wishes she'd said something else. for the fear-filled real Palin, though, pro-america means 100% christian, 100% obedient to GOP propaganda.

patriotism is next to nationalism is next to fascism.

9. "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
Boswell's full mention of this statement reads:

Patriotism having become one of our topicks, Johnson suddenly uttered, in a strong determined tone, an apophthegm, at which many will start: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." But let it be considered, that he did not mean a real and generous love of our country, but that pretended patriotism which so many, in all ages and countries, have made a cloak of self-interest.

10. She's confusing two concepts...
Nationalism vs. Patriotism.

Her hatefests? Nationalistic displays that would make the Brownshirts green with envy.

Also, she's confused about the truth. Obviously.

Peace--

15. When I say the sky is green, I don't want you to think I mean the sky is blue. It's green.
Oh, we understand you, Moose-lady.
