Video: Palin speaks at CSU Stanislaus
posted at 12:50 pm on June 26, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Sarah Palin finally gave her speech California State University at Stanislaus after a controversy over its contract with the conservative firebrand. Palin started off by joking about the kerfuffle, demanding a bendable straw and a bottle of water at the beginning of the speech. Instead of the usual cheering crowd, CSU Stanislaus provided a polite and appreciative audience, and Palin delivered a speech that fit the venue. She drew connections between the agricultural industry in the area and her family’s work in commercial fishing before launching into a more philosophical review of the nature of liberty. The Right Scoop has the video from the local Fox station’s video stream:
The Merced Sun-Star has a cleaner video of the speech, but TRS’s is perfectly serviceable. The Sun-Star also reported on the event:
Sarah Palin discussed civic education, freedom of speech and her infamous “bendable straws” demand at California State University, Stanislaus, on Friday night.
In a 34-minute speech, she poked fun at controversy sparked by the March announcement she would appear at the public school and the outcry over her confidential contract, a portion of which students said they found in a university Dumpster. …
She repeatedly referenced Ronald Reagan’s optimism. She said she felt a kinship with the farmers in the room because she’s the owner of a family fishing business.
She called for a return to common sense in the country and took President Obama to task for what she sees as soft views on the war on terror and immigration.
“We must embrace our entrepreneurial drive, and allow America to remain the world’s standard-bearer for excellence,” she said.
Palin took a shot at those who have launched an investigation into the finances of the university’s nonprofit foundation in response to her confidential contract.“Attorney General Jerry Brown and friends, this is California, do you really not have anything better to do?”
The Sun-Star also reported that around a hundred protesters turned out for the speech, chanting slogans and carrying signs calling Palin “Sinister Sarah.” If that’s as good as CSU Stanislaus’ lefties can manage, things have gone downhill since my days in the CSU system almost 30 years ago in Fullerton. The mainstream media reporters covering the event couldn’t do much better, as Breitbart TV caught when the live feed continued after the speech and picked up the comments of the press corps:
If these were opinion journalists, these comments would be no problem. If they’re news reporters expected to render an objective, fact-based report on the event, I’d say that they have a bright future at MSNBC.

Big Zero passed Epic Failure at the end of his first year in office.
He’s currently trying his best (and succeeding, sadly) at becoming an Epic Catastrophe.
By 2012, he may very well have become the worst man made disaster to befall this nation.

Palin could use a few classically-skilled speechwriters to help raise her positivist civics musings from the pleasant to the inspiring.
She has the heart, she just needs to bring in useful historical themes to galvanize and encourage her listeners.
The mention of the British officer stopping suttee in India is classic.
More such fateful parallels need to be relearned.
Universal moral imagery like that will coax her future audience beyond her accent and help them grasp her strength.
And appreciate Palin’s clear love for our better system,
And our exceptional nation.
And her unapologetic contempt for our sworn enemies and their terroristic Jihad.
No one has manned up as fiercely, not even her former running mate, Mc
Gitmo.Nor anyone else in the race.
(All the Republican R2Me2′s waiting for her to dare shout the first challenges to each new folly or corruption or idiocy of the Obama crew before they risked a position.)

One additional note on attending the Palin rally outside Stanislaus.
I was asked by one reporter (didn’t get his name or affiliation – he had a cameraman) why I was attending the rally and I responded that I was there to support Sarah, and also commented on the ridiculous attacks made by the Palin protesters (including allegations of racism, a boob job, and Trig isn’t her son).
The reporter respond by asking ‘So you haven’t seen her at any Klan rallies?’
I presumed he wanted me to simply respond ‘no I haven’t’ (implying that I attend Klan rallies but never saw Palin at one). Instead I responded ‘I have never been to a Klan rally – that’s a question better asked of Robert Byrd’ (or something very close to that).
I could tell he was a little disappointed in that response. Most of my replies were slams on intolerant liberals and Leland Yee. I doubt that was what they were looking for.
Mr Purple on June 27, 2010 at 1:52 AM
Uh huh. Blame me for bigotry, that’s effective. What kind of food jumps to the defense of bigots? Wait, don’t answer that without a mirror present.
People like you have been waiting for an excuse to go tell that joke or hurl that epithet that’s been burning your conscience. Scratch that bigot-itch.
Use me as an excuse, I don’t mind.

“Every educated person learned Latin” back when liberal arts and the classics constituted a good education.
Now a degree in Sociology/Ethnic Studies/Alternative Cultures/Something Else That Requires a Syllabus to Describe allows college graduates to learn other valuable skills without having to acknowledge the importance of our democratic heritage as developed through centuries of Western civilization.
After all, determining what constitutes a “good” education requires one to make a value judgment for another person–and universities hypocritically say they don’t want to do that for their students.
rwenger43 on June 27, 2010 at 2:12 AM
You just open yourself about politics to any person with a camera? That’s not prudent, especially if you don’t know to whom you’re speaking or giving personal information.
Speaking of, did they ask for your name and age? Most journalists will. Did they give any context for the question you allege to have been asked? A real “journalist” is not looking for one sound byte.
Professional journalists ID themselves and their stations or paper. Did the person have a mic, a mic-flag? Business attire? A business card? Either, you were not dealing with a real journalist or you are very gullible and should apply more scrutiny to people putting mics in your face.
You failed as much as the supposed “journalist” you encountered.

trigon on June 27, 2010 at 3:39 AM
Let me qualify that. Many so-called “real journalists” have done exactly what you allege to gain that singular sound byte. Frankly, I’m just suspicious of your story. It’s not you, I just get that way when so few facts are offered. Maybe a few more details would change that maybe not. Doesn’t matter, I’m nobody.

People, you have got to be ready to record any interaction you have with media. Otherwise they will always have the upper hand and final word. There are few awkward moments that provide more satisfaction than stifling a journalist with your own FA rights.
There are so many good backpack/citizen-journalists. I’m surprised there aren’t more MRC type outfits. A news van covering news vans…heh.

I don’t feel I have anything to hide with my political views – so I don’t feel the need to ask somebody who they work for and grab them by the shirt collar until they answer my question. I am also confident enough in my own intelligence and ability to spot a set up that I am not going to get caught in a trap of any sort.
They did ask for my name, and where I was from. I was interviewed or photographed by at least 4 different people who identified themselves as reporters and they all asked my name and where I was from. NONE of them asked my age, so I can judge your ‘most journalists will’ comment to be based on ignorance. This also isn’t the first time a reporter has asked for my name and residence – and I don’t recall ANY of them EVER asking about my age.
The first person I was approached by only had a camera. I did ask her name and affiliation, mostly because there was time and it was an unchaotic scene. I have seen that photo online and my name is listed (along with a passerby supporter, female by initials of BH). I have already described the signs I had and it wouldn’t take long for somebody to Google it, find out my name, Google my name and find out I have been involved in doing research for birthers like Lucas Smith or Butterdizzilion. I’m not ashamed of any of it and am proud my library skills can be put to use.
The 2nd person to approach me (at Rotary International Park on Gettysburg, I believe the address is 1025 Gettysburg) only had a mic. I didn’t bother with asking for his name or credentials because I am 95% certain he was left leaning and small time. He was interviewing a Palin protestor when I started chanting ‘Run Sarah Run’ – which I’m sure his mic picked up. After he finished that interview he approached me.
The 3rd person I interviewed with was a clean cut, white shirt and slacks type of reporter (dark hair, about 6 foot, typical newsguy and he had a cameraman with him) that I presumed to be fairly moderate. I didn’t ask his name or affiliation either, and our exchange was short and not all that exciting in my opinion.
The final person to approach me for an interview I would have presumed to be a liberal. He was not your typical ‘clean cut newsguy’ ready to appear on camera. I didn’t ask his name either. He approached me, asked some questions including the ‘Klan rally’ question – and after I finished I was being complimented by other Palin supporters for my comments and that sort of led me away from asking that particular reporter who he was or who he was with.
The only reason I would ask somebody who they were and who they were with is so I could satisfy my own curiosity to see if the responses were aired or posted. I suppose that is vanity on my part. You can now trash me for that if you wish.
To you that may sound like I am gullible for giving out personal info – but to me you sound a little paranoid – and since you claim that any real journalist would ask my age when none ever has I can only judge you to be ignorant. See how that works?
Back when Sarah gave her Redding speech I was also interviewed by a journalist. No camera – just a pad and paper. I did ask him his name and who he worked for (I believe it was Geoff Johnson, with some local paper near Redding – but I have thrown the business card away since). My comments to Geoff never appeared that I am aware of.
What now – do you want me to provide a receipt that I actually had lunch at AJ’s Cafe and Grill on Geer? Generally you have some interesting comments here, but your accusation that I ‘allegedly’ was asked this particular question is a little silly and somewhat childish.
I really don’t care what people think about my political views and I will shout them every opportunity I get. They aren’t extreme (even my work for Lucas was simply library research – I make no claims about his document since I am not an expert. Same for my work for Butter. I do requested research if I feel it is a worthy endeavor. I don’t ask for reimbursement – I just do it).
I believe you have failed even worse than the guy asking the ‘Klan’ question. Perhaps you aren’t confident enough in your own self, your views, or intelligence that you can speak freely to others but that is your demon to deal with.
Hide it under a bushel? NO! I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

…and that would be Geoff Johnson, of the ‘alleged’ Red Bluff Daily News.
Although I can no longer be sure I even attended this ‘alleged’ speech. I’m not even sure this ‘alleged’ city of Redding even exist, much less this ‘alleged’ CSU Stanislaus in ‘alleged’ Turlock.
California itself only ‘allegedly’ exists – and this ‘alleged’ sunburn I got after standing out in the ‘alleged’ sun for 6 hours is only a minor ‘alleged’ irritation’.
Perhaps none of it is ‘allegedly’ real. It only exist in my ‘alleged’ mind and I am not currently posting at this ‘alleged’ webiste ‘allegedly’ called Hot Air.
TRC can go ‘allegedly’ F his ‘alleged’ self.

No kidding. “It is a glorious summer day here.” The Race Card: “No it isn’t. No matter where you are, whoever you are, whatever you said is untrue. I’ve experienced this one too many times to believe you. You will have to prove it. Incidentally, you will never be able to prove it because of your latent racism. If you even exist.” Of course, the same level of discussion occurs with Naturoboy.
DrMagnolias on June 27, 2010 at 9:25 AM
I wonder, was Ward Churchill at the top of the banned protester list, or is security good enough to keep him off campus.
My biggest concern is that the level of security awareness CSU(or Palin handlers) at CSU? Just the fact that copies of her notes or contract were found in tact in a dumpster.
Remember our enemies spend hours in dumpsters and are excellent at reassembling such documents to gain intelligence.
MSGTAS on June 27, 2010 at 9:38 AM
Contract is reported as a blank that was discarded. (can’t find link)

And still no examples. Not surprising.

Or, he makes things up to criticize. His response to Mr. Purple was an excellent example.
Blake on June 27, 2010 at 11:28 AM
You mistake clarity on the issues for displeasure. Dear, my life is like a damn postcard. Business is down a little but that’s why we save, isn’t it? My wife and kids are blessed. I Missed my run/ride on the beach today because a neighbor’s Hummer was on fire…but hey.
By the by I wonder if you’ve given any thought to your use of this ethnic-epithet:

When your request is serious it will be taken seriously.
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 12:48 PM
There ya go, talk about people in the third person. I love that the gal you’re chatting with has a history of avowed ethnic-haranguing. But…really, I’m the problem. Whatever, stud.
You proved yourself to be fickle with your false claims of “friendship.” A “friend” would consider their own role in any fracas. But you, just like the many other reactionary detractors and naysayers, write me off instantly because you don’t like the truth I’m telling. Basically, that sucks. So thanks for trying to be a “friend.” That was a valiant-effort, truly.
The rest of you would help the party by not blaming me for the party’s racial flare-up. Praising a black guy for getting elected in SC is not racial-redress. The idea that so many here co-signed on that event as a bellwether-event is comedic.
I invite you may keep my name out of your mouth unless you’re willing to address me directly, disgust or discontent notwithstanding.
Thank you for your service.
The best I can say for both of us is that people like you defend people like me and defend my right to piss you off.

Nary an example, though they were requested. Come on, Mr Smack-down. Or just admit that you get a kick out of throwing around the racism charge in order to have something to say.
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 4:17 PM
LOL Err no.
You seem convinced that we all possess little racist boogeymen dying to come forth. I hate to break it to you…but that’s simply not the case. I don’t think that way. Race is of ZERO importance to me.
And calling out a fool like you suggesting everyone a SEKRIT RACIST!!!!! isn’t blaming you for bigotry.
It’s watering down what real racism is. Like I said.
powerpro on June 27, 2010 at 4:28 PM
Awww ain’t that sweet – two Palinites find love on the innertubes. After reading his er… blog I think you may have difficulty getting your pic put on his wall at home. It seems that it is filled with Palin pics and lots of incense in front of them.
Of course you could start a never ending text exchange consisting of “I love Palin” “I love Palin More” “I love Palin more than life” ad nauseum.

These were Fox reporters, I understand.
Living on the edge…..
AnninCA on June 27, 2010 at 4:51 PM
If that is true it is really the beginning of the end for Palinmania. Once Fox turns on her…. well it is all downhill from there!
Before you know it Beck may say something mildly critical and be turned out by the palinistas as a libtard extraordinaire!
Bradky on June 27, 2010 at 4:54 PM
So in your little world, liking or admiring someone is the same as having an unhealthy cultlike fixation?
That explains a lot about you dude.
powerpro on June 27, 2010 at 4:54 PM
As long as the area of AZ I was referring to remains a hot bed of drug crime, murder, and the daily terrorizing of U.S. citizens and as long as our border there isn’t secured, I stand by my epithet.
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 4:56 PM
Local affiliates. Not the same thing as Fox News or even the Fox Channel.
Just like I saw a local NBC affiliate send a reporter to cover Palin in Texas at an event and she was thrilled that she had a chance to meet Palin. I doubt the same would be true of those at the network level at NBC.
powerpro on June 27, 2010 at 4:57 PM
You can’t be that much of a dunce to equate the actions of those at a local affiliate with those who work as commentators at a network right?
powerpro on June 27, 2010 at 4:59 PM
I figured as much. Still, I understand that they “refused to apologize.”
I still say they are living on the edge. Sacramento, as a media area, isn’t at all liberal.
AnninCA on June 27, 2010 at 5:04 PM
The big headline at Huffpo is that she called the students, “Dumpster Divers.” LOL*
I really like her. She never fails to surprise me.
AnninCA on June 27, 2010 at 5:05 PM
In my world I look up to people who are not so shallow that they actually say that Reagan went to college at Eureka college in California when it was actually in Illinois.
Or getting Neda Agha-Soltan’s name wrong (said Najia) as well as the facts surrounding her death.
But in Palin land we are just supposed to know “what she really meant”….
Bradky on June 27, 2010 at 5:06 PM
I’m not a racist or “anti-gay.”
I don’t like Islam, it’s true.
But I’m neither a bigot nor a racist and I’m not a liar.
Furthermore, what does it accomplish for you to label and dress us down here for our alleged “thought crimes” at HA?
Is that the purpose of this site or even any given thread?
NO.
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 5:06 PM
I stick to reading her policy statements, and I must say that I agree with 90%.
That’s all that matters to me, anyway.
AnninCA on June 27, 2010 at 5:10 PM
So let me see if I’m getting this right. Palin misspeaks a couple of times and as a result you dismiss her even though her policy positions are spot on? Or more likely, you can’t stand her and use meaningless things like misspeaking now and then as a reason to dis her publicly. Even though all public speakers misspeak occasionally.
Uh…okay.
I’m not sure if you’ve caught on but in this little scenario, you actually come across as the shallow one, sport.
powerpro on June 27, 2010 at 5:19 PM
Uh, no. Those would actually be called “mistakes” or “misspeaking”. “Shallow” is referring someone to an article in the New York Review for “objective” commentary on Palin. “Shallow” is also claiming to be a conservative while supporting a Scozzafava for Congress. Hold that against Newt, do ya?
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 6:46 PM
Come to think of it, Bradky, the “We Need a Jeopardy Contestant” school might be the shallowest of all. You go on about Palin cultists and Palinistas, while apparently being some sort of “Presidentolater” who is somehow under the impression that a President MUST always be some sort of almost supernaturally wise and knowledgeable demigod who never makes a mistake, has had just the right education and always but ALWAYS speaks using the most refined turns of speech. We’ve had enough of so-called demigods.
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 7:31 PM
You are cute when you try to puff out your chest in her defense. But you do illustrate my point nicely about how her devotees will claim even her mistakes are not really mistakes.
If you gave the same consideration to just about any other politician who gets something wrong you would have a point. You haven’t and you don’t.
Besides, one would think that for 75K and bendy straws the speaker could at least do their homework.
Remember, the Palinistas wrote Jindal off as a contender because of his lackluster performance in the SOTU rebuttal. Didn’t notice you defending him at that time.
no powerpro the only shallow thing is the Palinista refusal to see sarah the least bit objectively.
Bradky on June 27, 2010 at 8:19 PM
You don’t have to be a “devotee” to know that Sarah knows very well that President Reagan went to Eureka College in Illinois…as for Neda’s name, who can deal with those Iranian names?
A misspeak isn’t a mistake.
So how does Obama account for: “57 states”, “profit and loss” ratio of stock, “corpseman,” “Twitters,”speaking “Austrian” in Austria, etc, etc.
I defended him and I’m a “Palinista” who’s never written Jindal off.
Nice stereotyping job, once again.
We see Sarah objectively, Katie, we just don’t go over her speeches with a fine-toothed comb looking for little nits like you do.
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 8:52 PM

The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 9:15 PM
You’re both liars. You were not called a “racist” by me in that comment.
Also, Jenfidel you know “thought crimes” would imply actual thought on you part. Like you, I stand by my words. I respect you for that, I hope you can do the same.
Just kidding, my expectations of you are quite low.
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 9:31 PM

powerpro on June 27, 2010 at 9:38 PM
Har-har.
I have no expectations for you at all except snark and nastiness.
Who would call themselves “The Race Card” anyway and expect any respect or consideration?
It’s a phrase made more infamous than famous during the O.J. trial and is known throughout the nation and the culture as being a cheap shot at calling one’s opponent a “racist” simply because the accuser is white and the accused is black.
The accused should never be excused just because they get a free pass by using the race card: such was the case with O.J. and such is the case with you.
You don’t get to demonize white people here just because you’re black.
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 9:40 PM
Uh, yes I was: I was in that group of HA people that you labeled as “racist,” inter alia (some more Latin for Cartoonboy!).
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 9:43 PM
Really? So now you’re dabbling in straight up racism instead of your typical bigotry against Latinos, gays and Muslims. You ascribe my behavior to my race, that makes you a racist. You’ve matriculated, finally.
It’s too bad the bigots don’t have a better spokesperson here at HA. But everybody except 2Brave2Bscared backs down when cornered. You’re typical in every way except that you stand by your BS.
You’ve got balls, you’re just not that bright, despite having attended law school.
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 9:51 PM
Bradky, if bullshit were music you’d be a brass band. I’ve never said Palin’s mistake-free, and I’m not one to parse the statements of any other politician for grammatical or trivial factual mistakes UNLESS they’ve been promoted as some sort of genius. You’re projecting in some way here. You find mistakes unforgivable in Palin that you’d just wave off in any other politician.
No, just “racially-resentful anti-gay, anti-Muslim agitators” with still nary an example of any of that. You’ve been smacked down, Mr Smack-down.
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 10:31 PM
You pester me with a specific request. But you’re unwilling to admit that you’ve either been lying or mistaken all along.
I said that I’d take you seriously when you were serious. You can’t be serious if you’re unwilling to admit that you either lied or were mistaken.
I am very accountable for my errors, often linking to them myself. You’re simply unwilling to be honest with yourself. Why would I expect you to be honest with me?
Let’s try this. Is the language you use toward Muslims and gays acceptable to use in reference to your mother, brother, son or wife? Just kiddding, I’m guessing that you probably haven’t had any tail since Bush 41.
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 10:47 PM
I’m not the one who chose the screen name “The Race Card.”
You made it about race.
You started off right from the beginning with your brand of racism.
I have exhibited no bigotry towards either Latinos or gays on HA. Ever.
If I have, I would like to see examples.
As for Muslims (who are not a race!), I consider Islam to be a cult-like religion of death and evil that suppresses all women.
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 10:54 PM
You’d have to link to every post you make because every comment you’d ever made here is erroneous, untrue and hateful.
Your opinions are the error.
Yes.
What in the world does this have to do with anything?!?!
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 10:56 PM
Let’s try this, pumpkin. Listen carefully, OK? Point out specific disparaging comments I’ve made against gays or Muslims. Any comments.

In fact, ANYONE on this blog can do the same. Find comments posted by me that were disparaging to blacks, gays, Latinos, Muslims or any other group. Any comments at all.
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 11:00 PM
Nope.
You are and always have been.
You’re just mad that I’m calling you out!
No balls, just plain old American guts and outrage when people are unfair, unjust and out of line, as you are.
I went to every graduate school but medical school, with the degrees to prove it, but that’s beside the point.
What you’re peddling is nothing but plain old vanilla hatred and it doesn’t take a degreed professional to see it or despise it!
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 11:00 PM
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAA!
No bigotry, lmao. Crap, I just fell out of my chair onto the floor..really. I can’t get up….bwahhahahahahaha.
Lest we forget, “WETBAKISTAN.”
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 11:09 PM
I’ll be waiting for some samples of my own disparaging, racially-resentful, derogatory remarks.
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 11:11 PM
Awww cuttlefish, I’m not mad at you. I don’t even blame you for the way you are.
I would love for you to prove, justify and/or back up how it is you that I call you out for your bigotry because you’re white. Hell, how do I even know your race? See, unlike you, I don’t believe people speak or act a certain way because of their skin color or ethnicity.
Tell us the one again about your “illegal” gardener. That was good.
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 11:13 PM
We’ve already been over this: It’s not bigotry.
It’s a statement of the way things are.
There’s not a thing in there that says anything “bigoted”
about Latinos.
Not. one. thing.
Some of our illegals (“wetbacks”) are Africans and Chinese, maybe even white South Africans escaping the racist debacle the ANC has made of South Africa…
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 11:16 PM
Unless you can come up with some examples of my own racialist remarks, that’s exactly what you do. Want to fob it off with another joke about my sex life? Hmmmmm, buttercup?
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 11:17 PM
You do it with every post.
Its not tough to figure out.
How do I know you’re black?
Could it be because of your screen name?
Sure you do or you’d have absolutely nothing to post here.
Really?
Why is that?
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 11:17 PM
Awww Crumbcake, don’t feel neglected. Jenfidunce is a handful. You just continue to speak freely. In the meanwhile, here’s some more rope.
And don’t think that I have not noticed your measured words lately. You’ve been very careful since you started biting back. That’s good.
But is it enough? ;)
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 11:18 PM
Give me some examples then of my “unmeasured” words. Got any? I mean, search engines are useful things. Come on.
Psssst: you won’t find any, genius. Hey, how about a joke about my double-wide instead? That oughtta be good.
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 11:21 PM
I think you’re being honest. I like that. Also, it’s interesting to me to watch your thoughts manifest themselves into statements. It’s like watching A Clockwork Orange.
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 11:23 PM
How about you come up with some real bigoted and/or racist statements any of us have made here, instead of remarks where you imply or infer our racism and act as if it’s “so obvious” that you just fell out of your chair laughing at our disingenuousness and hypocrisy?
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 11:23 PM
WTF is wrong with mobile homes weirdo?
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 11:26 PM
Interesting that you would mention that movie as it is about thought crime and trying to eliminate crime by eliminating thought crimes.
I believe I said that you were accusing us of thought crimes way up the thread.
So, I’m repeating myself and you just keep trying to change the subject because I nailed you.
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 11:26 PM
Nothing. But that’s not an example. Have any?
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 11:27 PM
Wetbakistan isn’t enough for ya? You win!
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 11:27 PM
Here’s more…
The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 11:28 PM
Yeah? Where?
ddrintn on June 27, 2010 at 11:30 PM
Nope.
It’s not even an example.
What about it is untrue, bigoted or racist?
It’s an un-PC term, but so what?
Try again.
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 11:32 PM
Dude, that actually seemed
friendlycordial. What’s your problem?The Race Card on June 27, 2010 at 11:33 PM
The term “wetback” was used by our own government as recently as 1954 by the administration of President Eisenhower:
Operation Wetback
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 11:34 PM
Yeah, where?
The Race Card on June 28, 2010 at 1:08 AM
You only had to go back about 60 years to find someone who agrees with you. Were you even alive then?
The Race Card on June 28, 2010 at 1:10 AM
It doesn’t matter whether or not I was alive then.
What matters is that the word was used by “nice” people legitimately in ordinary discourse which makes your insistence that it’s a “horrible word used only by bigots and racists” not correct.
Jenfidel on June 28, 2010 at 1:26 AM
Jenfidel on June 27, 2010 at 11:34 PM
….and it was used by The Race Card just a few short years ago – along with a whole slew of other racist slurs. (funny the double standard The Race Card has – which ironically is another subject he has a double standard on)

Mostly I thought the thread was in dire need of some actual discussion about the event – even it was just the goings on outside from my point of view.
The liberals in conservative drag like TRC who bash Palin for her voice or accent sure weren’t adding anything of significance to the thread.
But – now that the discussion is once again seriously derailed from the topic of the thread who’s up for making TRC give yet another teary eyed defense of Rev Jesse’s ‘hymietown’ comment?
Mr Purple on June 28, 2010 at 3:36 AM
Anybody catch Sarah’s speech at the Oil Palace? She had some great comments in there – but obviously nobody cares about the topic or what she said – it was how she said it that anybody cares about.
Nothing short ot beautiful music to the ears, it was. Like a choir of angels singing Churchill’s ‘we will fight them on the beaches’ speech meets songbirds merrily chirping on a dew laden spring morning. Sarahcuda Soup for the Soul with a touch of Mozart.
I think she slammed Zero a few times too, but who cares about that. The easy listening sweet sounds of SarahAmerica were all that mattered.
Mr Purple on June 28, 2010 at 4:02 AM
Love your posts, Mr. Purple!
Thanks for your on-the-scene reporting–I wish I’d made the trip east to Tyler to hear her!
That is hilarious about Jesse Jackson and “Hymietown!”
I forget about true racist classics like that.
BTW, purple is my favorite color! :-)
Jenfidel on June 28, 2010 at 4:34 AM
Cultist thy name is Mr Purple.
Read through the transcript of the speech and you see that it is little more than random sentences thrown together.
No surprise the Fox team thought it was horrid.
Thin on substance, weak on accuracy, but heavy on “choir of angels” effect…. almost like going to a Benny Hinn event.

My favorite as well.
Mr Purple was actually a racehorse – when I first saw this horse I thought ‘Uh-oh. I’m gonna lose a lot of money betting that horse’.
Then he turned out to be a heckuva horse who I made quite a bit of money on. He won the Santa Anita Handicap at 15-1 odds. That was a very good day for me. :-)
I always thought your handle was clever. I have an ‘Infidel’ shirt I wear quite frequently.
