This happened last night on Sean Hannity’s program. Somebody please tell me what the fuck this woman is talking about. (But you get bonus points for using “codification,” Sarah—that word-of-the-day calendar is already paying for itself!)
This is as close as I can come to a transcript of what she said:
Right, well, what we can glean from this is an understanding of why we are on the road that we are on. Again, it’s based on what went into his thinking, being surrounded by radicals. He is bringing us back, Sean, to days—you can hearken back to the days before the Civil War when, unfortunately, too many Americans mistakenly believed that not all men were created equal. And it was the Civil War that began the codification of the truth that here in America, yes we are equal and we all have equal opportunities not based on the color of your skin. You have equal opportunity to work hard and to succeed and to embrace the opportunities, God given opportunities, to develop resources and work extremely hard and, as I say, to succeed.
Now it has taken all these years for many Americans to understand that gravity, that mistake that took place before the Civil War and why the Civil War had to really start changing America. What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income based on color of skin. What are we allowing our country to move backwards instead of moving forward with that understanding that, as our charters of liberty spell out for us, we are all created equally.
Republicans tried as hard as they could four years ago to convince us that Sarah Palin was a great vice presidential choice.
guano.
i think what she is trying to say here is “WE DON’T LIKE BEING REMINDED ABOUT THINGS LIKE PRIVILEGE AND CLASS, WE WANT TO IGNORE IT SO THAT WE CAN KEEP ABUSING POOR PEOPLE”
Well duh. It’s well-known that blacks want to go back to those good ol’ days on the plantations. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Sarah.
Is she wearing a Star of David? I can’t actually watch the footage to find out. Can’t listen to the woman. I’m going to try to watch Julianne Moore pretend to be her, but I may not even be able to watch that.
She’s learning. With a bit more coaching she could possibly hold her own in a debate with the guys from Insane Clown Posse.
By giving her continual press, good or bad, you at the Merc are contributing to her presance in the public conscious.
Stop it. Please.
Pretty please. Ignore the woman – for the greater public good.
Clearly, this woman has been f*cked silly. And yes, I mean anal.
Has no one considered this could just be a very long and elaborated joke?
War is peace, freedom is slavery; George Orwell wrote fiction, Sarah Palin speaks fictions and brings Orwell’s fiction to life, playing out Big Sister, a mobius twist on Marx: “Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.” — 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon.
