ICYMI: Palin serves up the red meat
by digby
You really have to see the video to believe it, but this write up gives a fair overview:
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin ripped President Obama on Saturday, saying in order to “save the Republic” Americans must “have the guts to talk about impeachment.”
Palin bashed Obama on a variety of topics, including immigration and veterans services during a speech before the 2014 Western Conservative Summit in downtown Denver.
“These days you hear all of these politicians, they denounce Barack Obama, saying he’s a lawless imperial and ignores court orders and changes laws by fiat and refuses to enforce laws he just doesn’t like,” she said.
“That’s true. But the question is, “Hey politicians, what are you going to do about it?’ ” Palin said, as the crowd in the Hyatt Regency ballroom roared.
The former governor of Alaska, Palin rose to prominence in 2008 when Sen. John McCain of Arizona tapped her as his running mate on the GOP ticket. When talk-radio host Dan Caplis introduced Palin, he billed her as the most influential woman in the history of the Republican Party.
Line after line about Obama fired up the crowd.
“If Obama won’t do his job and enforce the borders, then it’s not immigration, it’s invasion,” she said.
“We’re not going to dethrone God and substitute him with someone who wants to play God,” she also said.
I think Dave Neiwert said it best:
Did Sarah Palin get into Aunty Peggy Noonan’s jar of Magic Dolphin Pills before her speech in Denver this week?
It does have that slightly slurry quality that so defines Noonan which is a change for Palin who has been rather crisply incoherent in the past if nothing else. But the crowd loved it. As much as we don’t want to admit it, she really does speak for a large number of people in this country.
Also too, Sarah now has her own online pay-TV network. What is they say about suckers born every minute?
