All the women haters LOVE that one.

El_Terrible on October 19, 2008 at 3:04 PM
big fat racist.
cannonball on October 19, 2008 at 3:04 PM
you know sometime you guys make me feel stupid… I didn’t get it…
Kaptain Amerika on October 19, 2008 at 3:06 PM
Maybe we can get one of Obama having head beaten in by Joe the Plumber.
Or would THAT be wrong?
drjohn on October 19, 2008 at 3:06 PM
My God that was scary…can someone explain what that was supposed to be?
CCRWM on October 19, 2008 at 3:07 PM
I actually jumped it scared me so!
That is horrific!
freeus on October 19, 2008 at 3:07 PM
What would have been the reaction by the MSM if a big white guy had done something like this to Michelle Obama?
jed58 on October 19, 2008 at 3:08 PM
Was that filmed in Manhattan? Sandra Bernhard was right!

did he get the job?
NightmareOnKStreet on October 19, 2008 at 3:10 PM
Sadly I can see Katie Couric and CBS helping to set this up.
William Amos on October 19, 2008 at 3:10 PM
A metaphor for Douthat or Ambinder? I don’t see Sully in the video.
Sully doesn’t even have the cojones to allow comments on his blog. I doubt that he could take Palin down. Sully’s modus operandi is that of a sniper, anyway.
Terrie on October 19, 2008 at 3:10 PM
Metaphor Indeed.
WTF is wrong with these people ?
crom on October 19, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Whoa! Didn’t see that one coming…
CliffHanger on October 19, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Ha oh man, that’s “Terrible Terry Tate”. Google Terry Tate Office Linebacker. It’s funny stuff.
This is only funny if they do it to both candidates…
Dash on October 19, 2008 at 3:12 PM
Um, that was very disturbing. Quite shocking, actually.
ConMom on October 19, 2008 at 3:13 PM
This is an old schtick, Terry Tate – he would tackle people in an office setting. Everyone, regardless of gender, was terrified of him. They would cower in the corner if he caught them wasting office supplies or failing to recycle or something (IIRC) – it’s supposed to be funny, and the old, generic office ones kind of are, actually.
Applying this schtick to tackling a woman who is running against Obama is in poor taste, however.
capitalist piglet on October 19, 2008 at 3:15 PM
Allah gonna put this up soon ?

I saw this earlier, well I saw of it earlier. Can’t watch, I guess I have no sense of humor. I can’t watch Funniest Home Videos either.
Cindy Munford on October 19, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Is this suppose to be funny?? I big hulk of a man tackles a mock-up of Sarah Palin to the ground with enough force that it would have killed her had it been real???
Am I suppose to laugh?
Maybe a spot on a pretend gang rape would be in order too.
JellyToast on October 19, 2008 at 3:25 PM
Some background on “Terry Tate”:

Obviously it’d be funnier (to us) if Tate was tackling Obama or Biden, but still…lighten up a little bit everyone.
nickj116 on October 19, 2008 at 3:28 PM
Woah, how come I never saw that bit about Obama bashing Reagan before?!
lodge on October 19, 2008 at 3:28 PM
Was that Jesse Jackson and Sandra Bernhardt’s love child?
AubieJon on October 19, 2008 at 3:28 PM
Pfft, it’s Terry Tate, it’s instant funny.
I got’s to say I was more expecting him to tackle the other one. But oh well. I’m certain he still works for an equal opportunity employer, right?
Reaps on October 19, 2008 at 3:28 PM
A new low. Very disturbing.
carbon_footprint on October 19, 2008 at 3:29 PM
That will teach Palin a lesson.
As my mammy used to say “never leave home without your moose gun”.
Shy Guy on October 19, 2008 at 3:31 PM
Terry Tate skits were all about retribution. This is not. It’s nothing more then the left’s fantasy of violence against people they disagree with.
Spirit of 1776 on October 19, 2008 at 3:31 PM
huge linebacker clobbering a woman is nothing but nuanced
Defector01 on October 19, 2008 at 3:32 PM
Obambi’s dream sequence.

toliver on October 19, 2008 at 3:34 PM
The coarsening of American culture and politics…
I’m just enough out of the loop not to know who this baboon is. What a waste.
onlineanalyst on October 19, 2008 at 3:34 PM
Meh. It’s funnier when he tackles office politics and office crap in general.
SouthernGent on October 19, 2008 at 3:35 PM
Since deadly force is funny, now I want to see the video of Gov. Palin blowing Terry Tate’s face off like he was a moose.
CanadianGuy on October 19, 2008 at 3:37 PM
I’m tired of the clips that mock, poke and kick conservatives. I love humor as much as the next guy,,, this isn’t funny.
Yes,, it was violent. If that was my wife or my mother or my sister, I would not think it was funny. Seeing Sarah Palin smashed to the ground by some idiot while Katie Couric just stands by is not my idea of humor. It’s the kind of thing I would expect on some wacko nut site.
JellyToast on October 19, 2008 at 3:37 PM
Man, there are a bunch of nancies on this forum. You people are acting like Terry Tate is a monster, but hitting people is WHAT HE DOES.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17jplpjCaec
As he says at 1:35:
“My tackling knows no race, gender, or creed. So bring it on! I’m an equal opportunity hit ‘em machine baby! All day, every day! Believe that.”
nickj116 on October 19, 2008 at 3:37 PM
Now that would be funny!
capitalist piglet on October 19, 2008 at 3:38 PM
Okay. Then let’s see him tackle Barack Obama.
We’ll wait.
capitalist piglet on October 19, 2008 at 3:39 PM
Okay, this is Mrs. Coastie Hooligan posting.
I’m not a shrinking violet. I can hold my own against any man at the range.
But my first, visceral response to this was nausea and tears.
Now I’ve moved on to cold anger.
Not.funny.at.all.
coastiehooligan on October 19, 2008 at 3:39 PM
Wait till the PUMAs get a load of Terrible Terry, the Obama surrogate.
Terrie on October 19, 2008 at 3:40 PM
And they say the McCain supporters are dangerous? WTF???
HawaiiLwyr on October 19, 2008 at 3:41 PM
I’d love to see Tripple T tackle Obama:
“You know the rules on terrorists baby! You pal around, you get laid down… BITCH! You better shape up or its gonna be a long day… a LOOOOONG DAY!”
Dash on October 19, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Nasty. Sick. I’m really beginning to hate liberals and lefties. I never used to. Is it just this election cycle or has American politics always been so ugly?
Fortunata on October 19, 2008 at 3:46 PM
I hope he does. I’m actually revising my original statement to say this clip is prety awful. I mean, he tackles women in his “office” clips, but this is different. This is almost hateful.
His “office” clips are still top notch though. Hilarious stuff.
nickj116 on October 19, 2008 at 3:47 PM
I’d love to see Tripple T tackle Obama:
“You know the rules on terrorists baby! You pal around, you get laid down… B****H! You better shape up or its gonna be a long day… a LOOOOONG DAY!”

Hey, guess what I found out:
Dubai Ports rejection helped US economic growth
http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0307/0307dubaiportsrejec.htm
==============================
Reject Barack Hussein Obama, the Dubai candidate, and help US economic growth!
Obama is a national threat:
Quote from the Barack Obama book, Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
And this man wants to be President? I and several tens of millions of people think NOT.

How is this anything more than misogynist?
No…really. Do even uber-liberals think this is funny? Please, someone make this viral and get it in front of every supposedly “feminist” group ASAP.
Sugar Land on October 19, 2008 at 3:53 PM
I really did throw up all over the monitor with that one…
“This is almost hateful.” nickj: the rage is what triggered my gag reflex. Maybe you love that ‘man’ too much.
I wonder what newspaper he reads…if he can.
Christine on October 19, 2008 at 3:53 PM
Sarah Palin’s visit to “Saturday Night Live” drew the show’s highest overnight rating in 14 years.
Last night’s telecast, hosted by Josh Brolin and featuring musical guest Adele, averaged a 10.7 rating and 24 share in 56 metered markets, according to Nielsen Media Research. That’s the highest overnight ‘SNL’ average since a 1994 episode that was hosted by Nancy Kerrigan and featured musical guest Aretha Franklin.
Enoxo on October 19, 2008 at 3:55 PM
But he was great in Gears of War? Right? Right?!
AbaddonsReign on October 19, 2008 at 3:57 PM
Post of the Day, LOL! I would pay BIG money to see that. You should be his writer, btw. That’s funny stuff brotha.
nickj116 on October 19, 2008 at 3:57 PM
Not impressed by that guy. While I know that seeing Barry as president is a nightmare come true, the tons of hateful BS that Sarah and John would have to put up with is almost twice as bad. The left would hound them like pack animals.
But, Obama must be defeated, and if he is not, we must keep up the fight to expose him for what he really is until he is impeached.
mindhacker on October 19, 2008 at 4:01 PM
This video is another thing that just justifies Powell’s obervation at the great vitriol, bile, and prejudice against… Obama. How DARE the Republican party be this racist!
/sarcasm
Enoxo on October 19, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Can you imagine a white guy (in a similar fake video situation) doing that to Obama?
Can you imagine the racist screams from the media and the black community.
But it is okay for a black guy to beat down a white woman…let alone a woman running for office of Vice-President?
Why aren’t the Secret Service arresting this guy for inciting violence against a Vice-Presidential candidate???
albill on October 19, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Extremely poor taste for a radio ad. Physical violence (even simulated) between a man and a woman (especially a VP candidate) is not funny. I was watching the Graham Norton Show last night featuring Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous) and Cyndi Lauper. Cyndi went into a tirade regarding Palin as totally unqualified for VP and compared her to Quayle, Jennifer admitted the Couric Palin interview was too painful to watch. Graham Norton turned to his computer screen and brought up the Craigslist Ad for a Sarah Palin look-a-like to star in a porn film. Jennifer and Cyndi both found the idea of a Palin porn film as tasteless and objectionable and didn’t think it was funny.
eigafan on October 19, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Um, wow. Nancy Kerrigan?
nickj116 on October 19, 2008 at 4:08 PM
I mean, I know she got attacked in ‘94, but still…
nickj116 on October 19, 2008 at 4:08 PM
She was popular, briefly.
Enoxo on October 19, 2008 at 4:11 PM
I hope Colin Powell has a nice time with this.
Over and over…
profitsbeard on October 19, 2008 at 4:12 PM
WTF??!!
CinnamongirlUF on October 19, 2008 at 4:13 PM
Oh, if this happened in real life, Tate would have been clotheslined or clipped by SS agents and he would have a broken neck or kneecap.
CanadianGuy on October 19, 2008 at 4:13 PM
Interesting techically couldnt the Secret Service take this video as a threat against Palin ?
William Amos on October 19, 2008 at 4:18 PM
I’m sick of the left. This is what we’ve become to them. Freaking, obey me because I care more than you, bullies.
hawkdriver on October 19, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Nothing shocks me anymore. This isn’t the lowest they’ll go either. The libsocialist pricks will love this though, a group that now includes Hitchens and Powell.
ErinF on October 19, 2008 at 4:19 PM
Calling Harry Belafante’s House N*gger, Colin Powell for comment?
profitsbeard on October 19, 2008 at 4:20 PM
I am sick to my stomach over this. Unbelievable.
CookeyD on October 19, 2008 at 4:21 PM
and Terrible Tate thought he was funny?…… meh
MNDavenotPC on October 19, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Mr. Pundit, did you really see this as a Metaphor? To me it seems to be an exercise in “what can I get away with because the other guys are almost defenseless in the media.”
You know, I’m thinking I’m just going to skip past the AP threads and stick with the other guys.
hawkdriver on October 19, 2008 at 4:26 PM
Gee, a BLACK GUY Attacking a white woman IS NOT RACIST, RIGHT?, RIGHT????
1sttofight on October 19, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Waiting for the media outcry..1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,????????????
Star20 on October 19, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Well, had I known what it was I wouldn’t have watched it. Thanks for posting it, not.
The image of the hulking screaming black man standing over her crumpled body is nothing less than sick and depraved.
There is nothing on the right to compare to the vileness of the left.
If they win I just don’t know what the hell I’m gonna do.
redshirt on October 19, 2008 at 4:35 PM
Tapped for this?
Umm,Katie,SarahCuda not a beer keg,have some class,
will ya!
I suppose Liberals are chosen!
And, yes I’m nitpicking and parsing,but I cringe
every time I see the perky Couric with a microphone
near Governer Sarah Palin!:)
canopfor on October 19, 2008 at 4:37 PM
Hopefully that was Tina Fey who got pancaked.
fogw on October 19, 2008 at 4:38 PM
I have no problem with comical depictions of violence when necessary. In my past, I even participated in it’s use at times. I am no “Nancy” when it comes down to it by evidence of the countless physical scares and broken bones throughout my battered body.
Here’s my however,
5 years ago I was falsely accused of domestic violence by my now ex-wife and was roughed up by a half dozen sheriffs deputies and thrown in jail for 4 days.
It was the first time in my life I had any dealings with the police.
All charges against me were dropped because of the lie so on the 5th day and I was released. The stigma of that event has haunted me in court now for over 5 years.
I lost everything I worked hard for all of my life because of that one false accusation. It didn’t matter that I did nothing wrong, only the accusation was enough to have me ostracized.
Violence towards women is taken seriously in this country, and even simulated violence should not be seen as “funny” or tolerated.
Over.

fiatboomer on October 19, 2008 at 4:55 PM
Now that I got through the whole video,
I really don’t know whats more distrubing!
I do love this perception,that for SarahCuda,who is from way,way up north,that its of the land of the sticks,the
extreme wilds,the boonys,and in such,cut off from the
outside world,WTF!
Wouldn’t it be a better question,from Katie, like,do you
get any print up here,do they actually deliver any news
paper or magazines!
‘Your world view’,and again,is Katie trying to make it sound
like SarahCuda is on an ice flow,in an Igloo,with carrier
Arctic ducks as ‘pidgeons for communication’!!
And the smack from the football player,just reverse it with
Obama,that was extremely distrubing!!!
And the Femenazi’s are silent,like a lonely loon on a lake,
only to listen to its own echo reverberating around the
misty morning of said lake!!!!!!
canopfor on October 19, 2008 at 4:57 PM
My grown son just saw that and got pissed off. But he was taught that hitting women was a bad thing.

Ordinary1 on October 19, 2008 at 5:00 PM
So, violence against Governor Palin is acceptable now huh? Violent thoughts generally turn into violent actions. This isn’t humor. This isn’t entertainment. This is a threat against Sarah Palin. Whoever this nutjob is doesn’t matter. He’s a racist. He’s a hater. He needs to be stopped before his thoughts turn into actions.
Larry L. Sharp on October 19, 2008 at 5:02 PM
WTF
Viper1 on October 19, 2008 at 5:03 PM
I’m with you. Everyone needs to lighten up.
You know what would be even funnier?
If Palin made a mock video where she sneaks around a corner when Tate wasn’t looking. Then, she raises a baseball bat up over her head, and takes a full swing with it and cracks it right across the side of his head.
“CRACK”
Then Tates eyes cross as he drops to his knees [add
laughter]
Then she winds up for another one and smacks him so hard to the back of his head, that his whole body crashes to the floor, face down [roaring laughter].
Then, Palin, after she looks at her nails to make sure she didn’t break one, she continues to beat his head in with the bat
“CRACK!” “SMACK!” “THUNK!”. Blood flies everywhere.
*ROTFLMAO Tears in my eyes from. laughing. so. hard.*
Saltysam on October 19, 2008 at 5:07 PM
I’d make a comment on what I actually think of this, but I know the standard reply will always be, along the lines ‘then why don’t you skip this page and move on’ so what’s the *ing point to make a comment.
