Player Hatin' Palin Is Back At It With Her Attacks On Michelle Obama

There has been no shortage of talk about quitter former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's ridiculous and misguided comments attacking first lady Michelle Obama who is leading a national campaign to combat obesity among young people.

You will hear a lot of people say a lot of things about what Palin is doing, but before I get to that lets get to some of what she had to say via Roland Martin on CNN who cited Huffington Post:

"Take her anti-obesity thing that she is on. She is on this kick, right. What she is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat.

"And I know I'm going to be again criticized for bringing this up, but instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician's wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back and allow us as individuals to exercise our own God-given rights to make our own decisions and then our country gets back on the right track."

I really think this comes down to one thing: the blind-rage hatred that people like Palin and others on the right have for the Obamas.

This is a reckless and ignorant attack on Palin's part. Part of it is she is selling a book, but another part of it shows how pathetic it is that people would actually vote for her to be president of the United States.

Palin is driven by blind-rage hatred of anything that does not fit her world view and right-wing self righteousness.

A VERY large number of these extremist right wingers, tea baggers, birthers, truthers, etc. flat out hate President Obama and have ever since summer of 2008 when he emerged as the front runner to represent the Democrats in the presidential election.

Is It Wrong To Tell People What Should Or Should Not Offend Them?

That should offend you.

That should not be offensive to you.

These are two sentences I've heard from people pertaining to issues (mostly issues related to race and racial sensitivity ... or insensitivity).

Bitter John McCain Still Attacking President Obama, And Weakly So

Sen. John McCain continues to look like a bitter and petty man any time President Obama's name comes out of his mouth.

This, from Think Progress, is another example of Sen. McCain attacking President Obama over the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" gays-in-the-military policy:

But McCain remained undeterred. He agreed that decisions about integration should not be held hostage to the opinions of servicemembers, but then insisted that Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell doesn’t pose a problem for gay soldiers or the military. He also reiterated that the Service Chiefs — three of whom publicly endorsed the study last week — are still concerned about repeal:

CROWLEY: Doesn’t [Gates] have a point?

MCCAIN: Well, I think he certainly has a point. I would also certainly say that we should remember where this all started. There was no uprising in the military, there was no problems with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. [...]

It wasn’t a problem because you didn’t have. It’s called ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’ Okay? If you don’t ask somebody and they don’t tell and it’s an all volunteer force. [...] The fact is, this was a political promise made by an inexperienced President or candidate for Presidency of the United States. [...]

The fact is, that this system is working and I believe we need to assess the effect on the morale and battle effectiveness of those people, those young Marines and Army people I met.

But, the "inexperienced" line is nothing more than an irrational cheap shot on Sen. McCain's part. Bitter John McCain again shows that he is and was far from presidential and that he is little more than a typical partisan politician.

More from Think Progress:

McCain’s characterization of President Obama as “inexperienced” is particularly petty, however, since every Democratic president and presidential candidate since President Clinton has come out against the ban.

It's weak on McCain's part.

Here Is Another Example Of How Weak Ron Christie Is To Defend Rush Limbaugh

Ron Christie's analogy to President Obama is absurd and indicative of a man who has sold out to an ideology that is oftentimes excusing of racism and sometimes flat-out guilty of racism.

Hat tip to The Field Negro for appropriate naming Christie "House Negro Of The Day."

Ailes Of Fox News Goes All In With Tea-Bagging Morons With Crazy Comments

Far-right extremist Roger Ailes of Fox News

Roger Ailes, chairman of Fox News and a far-right zealot, is at it again with the talking points that his network has made famous: Barack Obama is socialist.

Fox News, which long ago divorced itself of any hint of objectivity, has now gone to openly cheerleading for far-right causes and candidates and against anything viewed as left of the political middle. The comments of Ailes, as documented by Howard Kurtz, are indicative of a man who is no journalist and essentially overseas a network that is a 24-hour right-wing propaganda machine.

This is from Media Matters for America:

Ailes: Obama was "told by the French and the Germans that his socialism was too far left." From Howard Kurtz' November 17 Daily Beast article:

"The president has not been very successful," the Fox News chairman says in a lengthy interview. "He just got kicked from Mumbai to South Korea, and he came home and attacked Republicans for it. He had to be told by the French and the Germans that his socialism was too far left for them to deal with."

The 70-year-old Ailes, dressed in a lavender shirt and tie, goes on in this vein, saying the network isn't singling out Obama for criticism but that its style "tends to be more direct" in challenging presidents. Then he offers this observation about Obama:

"He just has a different belief system than most Americans."

That seems a rather loaded phrase--different belief system--even if you strongly disagree with most of Obama's policies. It fits the view of those who are trying to paint the president as being outside the mainstream. But from the big second-floor office at Fox's Midtown Manhattan headquarters, it's the rest of the media that are using a distorted lens.

This is nothing new with Fox News, a network that now clearly is devoted to advancing Republicans, tea baggers and nearly all conservative causes.

Bill O'Reilly Lies ... I Know ... It's Redundant

Which Palin Should Be President: Sarah Or Bristol?

In choosing between mother and daughter Palin, for president (I didn't mean to frighten) ... I honestly think Bristol might make a better president than Sarah.
