I know you think it is factual to consistently refer to American politicians as Nazis or Socialists...or somehow it is funny and/or intended to offend.
Others know it for the ignorance it is.

Eh, we will let the voters decide. I think you are deluded if you don't think that is how the majority have come to view you and your party.

State of the Union - A Tea Party perspective

From the National Tea Party Convention....

...the opening speaker bashes Hispanics and Blacks and suggests that Obama, "a committed Socialist ideologue", would not have been elected if not for the fact that "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote."

... a second speaker shouts out that Obama " "has ignored our history and our heritage, arrogantly declaring to the world that we are no longer a Christian nation. He's elevated immorality to a new level, setting aside the entire month of last June to celebrate gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender pride…"

... followed by speeches from the "birther movement" proclaiming the Obama presidency is illegal.

And on the lighter side:

... amidst cries of "Run, Sarah, Run", Palin wrapping it up, during which, she mocked Obama for using a teleprompter, but had to write her top three priorities for America on the palm of her hand (her version of a palm pilot?)

WTF? Can't remember six words w/o a crib sheet? Energy, Budget (scratch) Tax Cuts and Lift American Spirits

Does all of the above "lift your spirits"?

I've thought about it, and I've decided the Palin hand note is not a thing.

It says nothing about her, except maybe that she's a commoner, which is actually an asset for her.

Like the Alito lip-reading it says more about our HDTV era than anything else.

Two of my smartest friends use hand notes routinely.

DanaC 02-08-2010 05:17 AM

I don't think the problem was that she had stuff written on her hand; it was the fact she had previously mocked Obama for using a teleprompter for his long speeches; yet she needs notes on her hand, for a few short items. If she'd never had a go at Obama for his needing a teleprompter, i doubt anybody would have noticed, or indeed cared that she wrote notes to herself.

Griff 02-08-2010 05:26 AM

I'd say nonevent as well. Notes are not the same level of preplanning as a teleprompter but neither matter.

Which is why Im thinking it was done with intent...to make her look less polished.

Hmmmmm....that could be a good strategy. I really don't think it would be that hard for a public speaker to memorize three bullet points.

I like the change from budget (unpopular) to tax (popular) cuts.
