1 Charlie Gibson was a tool. I wanted to slap his nose-glasses off his face.

2 Any chance we can get a link to the video at some point?

3 Was it just me, or was the video edited by the Audiovisual Club at Cornhole High School? It came across patchy as hell.

4 I think she came out of it pretty well, despite the fairly rough nature of the interview.  I don't think that it was a "Grand Slam," though.

5 It does look like they backed off of the "exact words" thing, anyway, even including the You Tube clip of her statement at the church.

6 Is that the same "interview voice" he uses all the time? If so, someone should point out that talking low and slow does nothing to make you look more intelligent.

7 I'd be interested to see the stuff they edited out.  I'm sorry but journalists are basically untrustworthy. They can't help themselves.

8 Andi threatened Charlie that if he did go in the tank with the interview, he wouldn't allow Charlie to be his buttboy.

9

She nailed it for me with this comment:

 

Our rights are God Given.    Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.   Got that not a government mandate, not something that can be taken away.  

10 I'm sorry but journalists are basically untrustworthy. They can't help themselves.

Some are not...for example, I think Brit Hume is pretty scrupulously fair. Or have I drunk Fox News Koolaid?

11 Yeah, I liked how they chose to edit her in mid-word.

12 People that are fair are anti-journalists.  Some of them just happen to be employed in the media.  The term journalism has become synonymous with dshonesty.  I'm sorry it has, but it has.

13 Did Gibson ask her about McSame's addiction to Ambien?

Was Pontius Palin asked why she cut funding for teen pregnancies and for the disabled?

Any questions about Palin's involvement in Big Oil?

Creationism?

Dinosaurs?

Jews?

Charles Gibson and ABC News owe Gov. Palin and America an apology for falsely attributing your news organization's own fabrications as her quotes in order to misreport her position on America in war that aligns perfectly with Abraham Lincoln's, being Lincoln's own statement.

There is a reason that Congressional ratings aren't worth spit, and a reason why America no longer trusts massive media sources including ABC News. DISHONESTY!

Thanks to immediately correct ABC News errors on record.

15 Every Republican who does an interview should insist on getting a raw transcript of the source of any of their "exact words" that are quoted back at them, and make their own video of the full interview to post, unedited, to expose the lying bastards in the press.

16 Gibson isn't that bad. He isn't out to get people just because they are Republicans. He hasn't drank a whole lot of the  koolaid. He's no winger, by any stretch, but he's not an Olberman either.

17 Shut the fuck up, Gibson.  She's not going to say outright that we should cross the border into Pakistan.

18 I saw both segments. The first was kinda shaky, and she was not as convincing as I'd hoped she'd be. Gibson was tough, but the questions were fair.

The second segment was much better. They had a video of her speaking in church, and it gave the full context of her words, which she clarified for Gibson. She is much better when she talks about subjects close to her heart.

19 I wonder if Charlie tried to get samples of her DNA to send to Andi.

20 _{(matt damon?)}

21 I would say that today was a solid single or maybe even a double.  Palin definitely didn't harm herself and I think she bolstered her credentials.

I view it as there are now a couple of people on base after this for the interviews tomorrow where she has a chance to knock in a few more runners for 1 or 2 more points in the poll.  The interview slightly changes the race for the better if it even changes anything at all.

Gibson is still a condescending jerk though.

22 PALIN DECLARES WAR ON RUSSIA!!

Good, I been wanting to kick those bastards' asses since I was stationed in Germany from 1985 to 1991.

23 I think she came out of it pretty well, despite the fairly rough nature of the interview.  I don't think that it was a "Grand Slam," though.

It didn't need to be a Grand Slam, mainly thanks to the MSM itself. They've spent so much time making Palin out to be some sort of ignorant lunatic, that all she had to do was be composed and not melt down on camera in order to impress the general public.

In short, she did fine. The left (who are already out to get her) will cherry pick a few things here and there to continue their campaign of self-inflicted hysteria; those of us over here on the sane side will nitpick a line or two that she could have done better;  and everyone in the mushy middle will see it and think "Hey, she seemed like a rational human being to me. They were telling me she was a monster!"

To the extent the mushy middle is watching at all, of course. These days, what does World News get in terms of viewers, three or four million people? And most of them are either old and set in their ways (straight-ticket types) or news junkies who also already know who they're going to vote for.  Our reactions don't much matter. Like I said, all she had to to was show up and not collapse in a puddle of tears at Gibson's questioning, and she wins by default.

24 Cornhole High School. I think my brother wrestled there.

25

I haven't seen it yet, I'm waiting on the whole thing, but I'd like to see elaboration on the Georgia thing. Is she saying, "Georgia ought to be in NATO, so that we can protect them by going to war with Russia if needed?" Or is it, "If Georgia IS in NATO, we are in fact obligated to go to war" (true), and thus (unspoken).... let's be wary about putting Georgia and friends in NATO?

Anyone shed any light on which? I'm kinda hoping on the latter.

26 I'm sorry to say that I thought that she seemed a bit too agressive which I believe is a function of her wanting to appear to be a strong woman.  Disappointed a bit.  Not terrible but she gave the "bad guys" some ammo.

27 Not her usual "she is just too good to be true" performance, but competent and confident.  Her back-and-forth on the Bush Doctrine question was good, as it was clearly a trap question - either agree with Bush or come off seeming like you don't know enough.

Definitely not a softball interview. He kept coming back for the kind of specifics that no world leader would provide "exactly what would you do" or "is it our right" type things.  She answered fine, but would be better off being a bit more aggressive in the reply, including pointing out that being overly specific on a hypothetical can be interpreted as a sort of threat and that's the kind of thing we need to avoid.

28 They will probably air the worst stuff first since that will be the most watched. 

29 Charlie said Georgia might be joining NATO and then we would have to defend them and asked if that was okay.  She basically said that was the deal if you were  a member of NATO I think.

30 Ouch, going to Cornhole high is bad enough, wrestling there??? Fuck that shit, I wonder if they serve tossed salad?

31

Is it just me or is Charlie Gibson a complete ASSHOLE.

 

What the freak is up with the bad edits????

Charlie is acting like he is LOWERING himself to speak with her.

I used to like him. He makes me SICK.

He never laid a glove on her.

So far.

 

 

32 Video cameras are cheap. Every Republican who is interviewed should have a camera on a tripod taking in the whole scene.

That way, there is unedited footage available to refute any misrepresentations by journalists.

33 I think Charlie might have been more respectful if the McCain campaign had insisted that Driller be in the room at all times, just out of view of the camera.

34 Oh my bad. It was my local station editing the commercials.

35 Love it!

http://thebrewdogblog.com/2008/09/my-wife-has-a-girl-crush-on-sarah-palin/

36 I thought she was a tad shaky in the first segment, too. She didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was, which bothered me a little.

Our ABC channel went off air in the middle of the hurricane segment, so I didn't see the second part. That timing was kind of weird. I was starting to have conspiracy thoughts, but apparently our tv problems were only at the local level.

37 Charlie Gibson.  What a condescending jerk.  We just had illustrated for us the difference between an elitist journalism and a real person who loves and respects their country.

38 Her back-and-forth on the Bush Doctrine question was good, as it was clearly a trap question - either agree with Bush or come off seeming like you don't know enough.

On this point, I have to disagree, at least a bit. It was unquestionably a trap. The problem is that the trap wasn't whether she agrees with it or not, so much as a demand to know "What IS the Bush Doctrine, Ms. Palin? Can you answer that question?" And it was asked in the manner of an arrogant high-school teacher who was just in the mood to embarrass a student he didn't like in front of the entire class.

And she didn't actually answer that question.

Whether she was weaving and bobbing to avoid being pinned into a corner on whether she agrees with it or not, or actually DIDN'T know, I can't say. But mark my words: That's one of the main spin points the Obamatons are going to focus on over the next news cycle: "Palin couldn't define the Bush Doctrine! Unfit for office!"

39

I'm sure when they interview Obama they will ask him if he believes in socialism for our country with this EXACT quote:

This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many" 

40 Gibson WAS being an asshole, but he also has a lot of pressure on him from the left to not be perceived as going easy on her.

41 Bush doesn't even adhere to the Bush Doctrine these days, so that question was a semi-gotcha. She handled it well, however.

There is more to come on Nightline tonight (11:30pm), more at 6:30pm Friday, and a special program, I forget when.

Keep in mind: Even Olympic athletes sometimes fall short, but they don't quit. They get up and try harder.

42

Hmmmm. Answering my own #25. Palin does say Georgia and Ukraine should be in NATO, and that, yes we would be obligated to defend them if so. The latter is obvious.

I have to disagree on the former. Unless our European allies are prepared to DOUBLE their defense spending, and act like they are willing to defend Western Civilization, which at this point I put up there with me meeting the tooth fairy on a probablility scale, we have ZERO business expanding NATO at all, and a reasonable argument for scaling it back or scrapping it entirely. The only thing worse than an unguarded flank is a flank that is guarded by someone who swears you are secure there, I promise, promise.......and then will fold like wet cardboard or even turn around and make a deal with the adversary. Europe does not have the will to fight, certainly not in any global or civilizational sense, and as long as they don't, whatever military they DO have is as good as useless.

So I must disagree with m'learned gentle-lady from Alaska that front.

 

43 Saw part of it. I found it annoying she kept calling him Charlie. I thought she was clever how she didn't say YES, I'LL INVADE PAKISTAN, but said it indirectly. Of course the libs will argue she didn't 'get' the question that's why she didn't answer it.
Let's see what she DIDN'T DO:
- refer to McCain as the Vice-Presdient.
- misstate her faith and need to be corrected by Gibson
- say Romney probably would have been a better pick
etc.

44

link fixed - TB

Unbelievably, the NYT calls out ABC on that ridiculous headline.

45 So, Glum says "too aggressive," and Vern says "Not aggressive enough."

I didn't see it, but that's probably a good sign that she was about right.

46

Or maybe they will ask Obama how he expects to do this (EXACT QUOTE)

This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands."

Because that just makes perfect sense.

47 It's funny: some here say she was too aggressive, others say she was not aggressive enough... It means she was just fine: she just needed to show independents or conservative Democrats that she is not an idiot. And it was more than enough.

48 She didn't hurt herself, and she came across as someone who is competent to be Veep.  You knew Gibson would hit her with some tough questions and she didn't flinch or hem and haw.  Good interview, good first unscripted appearence.

49 She held her own. The ABC news teaser about her ready push the button on Russia was out right dumb though.

50 Relax.  She did fine.  Gibson sounded like a jerk, and worse his mangling of her prayer makes him look not only unfair but anti-religion as well.   This will play well for Palin...for ABC, not so much.

51 Unless our European allies are prepared to DOUBLE their defense spending, and act like they are willing to defend Western Civilization, which at this point I put up there with me meeting the tooth fairy on a probablility scale, we have ZERO business expanding NATO at all, and a reasonable argument for scaling it back or scrapping it entirely.

Amen, Andrew, amen. Really, what is the point of NATO now? The fucks won't even fight in Afghanistan. We ought to pull out of it, and the UN, too. The only way to get the Euroweenies to step up and defend themselves is to pull them off our tit.

52 To prevent war, be strong. That, in essence, is NATO article 5.

If liberals weren't suck fucking morons, they'd realize, "I'm not sure," to the question of what would you do if Russia attacks a NATO country increases the odds of them doing so.

NATO means what is says and if you attack 1 NATO country, you attack all, is likely to prevent war.

Russia doesn't want to take on all of NATO. The best they could do barring some type of first strike masterstroke (which is why we must maintain the ability to have a strong second strike capability) is fight to a horrible draw. And Russia knows that.

They also know they could lose, big time, even if they caused some NATO countries to lose also, there may be countries who make it through hostilities in a better position than Russia.

53 I don't get this whole thing. Just the other day, Jonathan Alter said that they'd be keeping Sarah silent, and allowing no media access, until sometime after the VP debate, and it was the job of the media, and the public, to DEMAND that the press be given access to her.

Evidently the media, and the public, did their job.

(Or else Jonathan Alter was talking out of his cornhole.)

54 This is basically an attempt to start a whisper campaign.

I think the public is smart enough to say, "I'll want to hear what she says exactly for myself."

55 PALIN DECLARES WAR ON RUSSIA!

'Bout fucking time. I advocated this 63 years ago.

56

Since when is "pre-emptive strikes before a threat becomes imminent" the Bush Doctrine?  It's not like the US has been shy about saber-rattling and military action the past 100 years.

57 I'll be glad when Sarah gets the experience to be able to sneer back at the journalists. Maggie Thatcher was brilliant at that, and I'm sure Sarah will get the knack for it. Even Bush learned how to stick the knife into journalists with a smile on his face, and he's always been only half-competent in interviews.

58 Matt Damon!!11!!

59 Bill O'Reilly was nicer to Obama than Gibson was to Sarah.  Charlie just lost a LOT of female fans.  Much like Oprah.

60

I figured it would be a tough interview but I was totally taken back by Charlie Gibson's smug, snotty, attitude. It was like she had interrupted something important he was doing and he was being forced to interview her.

Like it was sooo below him.

I actually thought he was a pretty good anchor before, but I just think he's a jerk now. 

61

General Patton,

Well said, Sir.

 

 

62 This is another one that's going to bounce back in the Obamabots' faces; the fact is that she's absolutely right about the Russia/NATO thing, even Obama understands that. 

If they want to make something out of it they're going to look like fools.

63

These sucker of the cock journalists should lobby to have a new set of Miranda rights put into the Fifth Amendment, so that before being interviewed/interrogated he or she (conservatives) must be told of their new Fifth Amendment right.

'You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.'

64

I thought she did well.  I wonder what the etiquette is for telling an interviewer that his question is insipid.  Seriously.  When Mr. Gobson asked whether she would approve incursions into Waziristan, what could any candidate say other than "what are the facts supporting such an incursion?" 

Waziristan is essentially a locally governed, autonomous region with no real ties to the Pakistani government.  What is she supposed to say?  "I'll approve such incursions in any situation"?  "I'll never approve such incursions no matter what."  Both would sound stupid but Gibson didn't provide any detail in his question that would allow a serious yes or no answer.

Anyone here who's an attorney knows how this game is played in depositions.  The attorney conducting the deposition asks some broad question that could go any of a hundred ways depending upon unstated hypothetical facts and then laments that he's not receiving direct, detailed answers.  Kinda sad.  O'Reilly actually does a much better job because he allows a flow to develop between him and the interviewee.

 

65 Oooh, time for the 9/11 Presidential Forum! Pull the starter cord on the Obama Gaffe Machine!

66 Palin did a pretty solid job.  Not perfect, but definitely not craptacular.  I'm somewhat interested in seeing the rest (even though I can barely drag myself to watch ABC News and it won't change my mind either way).

As for Gibson, I'm disappointed.  He had gained so many cool points with me back in April 2004 when he got Kerry all hot and bothered about about his Congressional testimony during Vietnam (the Jenjis Khan bit).

67 I'll be more interested to know Matt Damon's analysis of the interview.

68 "Palin couldn't define the Bush Doctrine! Unfit for office!"

How will that play out for their "Bush-lipstick-meme"?  Oh, I'm don't doubt they're going to do it, and repeat both of them one right after the other.

Also, since I haven't seen it other than the preview clips did they keep the same camera angle as the preview clips?  If so, it's a camera trick to dehumanize her.  Hell, even criminals get a better camera angle from Dateline.

69 Gibson used a teleprompter.  Sarah didn't.  Gibson should have nothing more than the notes in his lap.

70 Editor,

Does shitty editing count (apparently done at Cornhole High School as mentioned above)?

71 #64

In a deposition, questioners can ask just about anything they want and the witness pretty much has to respond.  Their counsel can object for the record, but generally the witness must respond.

In court it is a different matter.  The witness can be directed to not answer a question if counsel objects and that objection is sustained. 

72

I'll be more interested to know Matt Damon's analysis of the interview.

 

Thanks, Jajos. Quite frankly, I've rather disapointed in the lack of posting about Matt lately.

73 Yeah, when I saw the editing on the interview, I immediately thought "So Star Wars Kid eventually found a real job after all!"

74 I heard Matt Damon suddenly had to fly out of the country for some kind of cultural festival going on in Pyongyang.

75 Is a transcript available? Because like others, I don't trust ABC to present the interview without creative editing.

76 Sorry I should have changed my sock puppet mon iker

77

A You-tube side by side comparison of questions Gibson asked to Obama and to Palin would be hilarious.  

 

 Just use video of Gibson’s questions and enough of a head shot establishing Obama or Palin. Say 10 sec. or so between the comparison.

 

Imagine the difference in tone and style in how Gibson addressed each.  Be even better if he asked each questions about somehow related topics. 

 

Hilarious.

78 She pointed her finger too much and leaned forwrad too much.  Not relaxed.  Her hair was a bad choice (yes, really) and that brown outfit.  Who is picking these clothes?  And, yes, they matter.  You are selling the whole candidate, not just some legs and some glasses.  As much as that might excite the morons here.

79 I'm listening to bits and pieces of it on the radio.  It's obnoxious with Gibson asks her a question and she answers it and he asks the same question again and she gives the same answer and he slightly rephrases it and asks it a third time and she gives the same answer.This was the question about whether she thought she was prepared fo the job.

Also brought out is the fact that no one from the meda or left is attakcing Cohen for his stupid remarks and another congresscritter for a similar God is on our side reference.

I don't know why people including some of you morons,call Obama a great orator.I don't know why anyone calls his brillant. He can't think straight nor consistently or articualte what the hell his position is most of the time.

80 I thought she looked serious and determined and that the thing was shot from some of the most awkward and unflattering angles they could come up with.

And I thought she did better than alright.

81 What I really want to know is when Driller is going to appear on The View or Ellen Degeneris, like the spouses of the other candidates.

Actually I think they're afraid Driller is so manly that he will turn Ellen straight again, and impregnate all of the women in the studio audience solely with his testosterone-rich aura.

82

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAEnu89dxCY

Compare and contrast Gibson in July with Obama.

83 Why always the commiemedia interviews. Why are republicans afraid to let a Brit Hume interview them? Always defensive.

84 Why are republicans afraid to let a Brit Hume interview them?

Yeah, exactly. Embargo the motherfuckers and shut them out until they play fair. I think pretty much every market has a Fox affiliate now, give them the ratings.

85 "Bush Doctrine" is one of the most-used phrases on Twitted this hour. It's coming.

86 I didn't know it was called the Bush doctrine. I call it we will do what we need to do to protect ourselves no matter what it is. It is bullshit for Gibson to keep asking her the same question over and over again when she answered it. I know he wanted a yes and no answer but tough. The answer she gave was clear enough. For her to claim he was lost in her "blizzard of words" was assholish.

87 Editor,

Does shitty editing count (apparently done at Cornhole High School as mentioned above)?

Um, they give out fucking Academy Awards for editing.  Even if you and I for some reason wouldn't think editing mattered these douches do, so, yeah, it counts.

88 81 "What I really want to know is when Driller is going to appear on The View or Ellen Degeneris, like the spouses of the other candidates."

She would kill the View gals...but to be honest I think Ellen would actually give her a fair shake.

89 "Was Pontius Palin asked why she cut funding for teen pregnancies and for the disabled?"

She didn't. She increased it.

90 Gawd - I just saw the short cut @ HotAir and if that's the editing it's complete douchery bullshit.  I mean, there hasn't been anything edited that bad on network news for along time.

With that said, I have not doubt the longer programs will be better for her.  Could be that Charlie's getting the douchery out early to appease his Disney bosses.

91 "What I really want to know is when Driller is going to appear on The View or Ellen Degeneris, like the spouses of the other candidates."

She would kill the View gals...but to be honest I think Ellen would actually give her a fair shake.

Oh, by "Driller" I meant Todd Palin - that's his Secret Service codename.

92 That said, it’s pretty clear she doesn’t know what he means by the Bush Doctrine and can’t answer the Pakistan question in anything but platitudes about stopping Islamic extremism. Even the gimme about the 9/11 hijackers’ motivations comes out garbled: She’s trying to make the basic neocon point that terrorism is a problem caused by political repression and solved by democracy, but it sounds as if she’s trying to patch it together from mental index cards, which … may in fact be what she was doing. Or maybe she was just nervous. Or thrown by Gibson’s demeanor. Not good, whichever it is, but 99% of the people who love her won’t care and the 1% who do can probably be brought around with a good interview tomorrow and, especially, a good debate with Biden. Now, tell me how brilliant she was and how wrong I am.


Lulz, I am a faggot.

93 I touch myself and watch Kirsten Powers.

94

I didn't know it was called the Bush doctrine.

And it's not completely clear what the Bush doctrine is - is it that we'll treat terrorist-harboring states as terrorists themselves or that we'll pre-emptively attacks states based on their threat even it's not imminent?

And it's not even like the Bush administration follows either one consistently.

95

I think Charlie Gibson was giving Obama a foot rub during that interview.  His tone sounded like he was interviewing his grandmother for her 50th wedding aniversary video and he let Obama tap dance around every question.

96

What was Sarah Palin supposed to say about Russia attacking a NATO member? 

"Well as you know, for about sixty years we have an agreement with fellow members to defend them should they be attacked, but if things get a bit hairy I think we should keep in mind that the agreement is just a piece of paper."

All the woman did was indicate that we would keep our word. 

 

 

97 In a deposition the objection to the Pakistan and other questions is to the form of the question.  In other words, the question is deliberately phrased in a way to be ambiguous and difficult to answser (like-when did you stop beating your wife?). 

98

This Bush Doctrine crap is inside baseball- only partisan dorks are gonna get their panties in a twist if she didn't nail it.

Besides, there's gonna be a McCain doctrine if he wins.

No bad mistakes= no news, but the grinding down of Barry will proceed.

99

Did Gibson ask her about McSame's addiction to Ambien?
Was Pontius Palin asked why she cut funding for teen pregnancies and for the disabled?
Any questions about Palin's involvement in Big Oil?
Creationism?
Dinosaurs?
Jews?

No, but maybe because the stuff you listed - especially the creationism, dinosaurs, and Jews - has already been dealt with and considered to be nonsense.  Catch up!!

I wonder what the etiquette is for telling an interviewer that his question is insipid.  Seriously.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer that question; it's too stupid."

Anyone here who's an attorney knows how this game is played in depositions.  The attorney conducting the deposition asks some broad question that could go any of a hundred ways depending upon unstated hypothetical facts and then laments that he's not receiving direct, detailed answers.

In a deposition, the deponent's lawyer says "objection; calls for speculation" (or just "objection as to form" depending on your state's rules).  Then, if the deponent has been well prepared (or can feel the lawyer kicking him/her in the shins under the table), the deponent responds, "I'm sorry, I can't answer that without speculating."

101

"I don't get this whole thing. Just the other day, Jonathan Alter said that they'd be keeping Sarah silent, and allowing no media access, until sometime after the VP debate, and it was the job of the media, and the public, to DEMAND that the press be given access to her.

Evidently the media, and the public, did their job."

 

No.  This interview was scheduled last week. 

102

I think the by morning the broad lefty spin will be she is a idiot warmonger.

 

 

103 Beating a dead horse here but . . .

ABC and Charlie Gibson are going to come off as asses.  Charlie was condescending and the editing sucked and no doubt her unedited answer that will ultimately make the net will be very favorable to her.

She came off well.  Not great, but good.  She will get better.  There is not there here.

No minds were changed and since McPalin is in the lead that is a good thing.

In fact, it may be great because the media will look even more liberal when objective people see how Charlie acted over and over again.

I say this was a big point for the good guys.

104 There are many ways to Depth Charge an interview.  Use totally inappropriate lighting, such as masculine vs. feminine lighting, use awkward camera angles, which enhance/distort masculine vs. feminine posing.  Any decent photographer will know what I am talking about. Throw in soft focus vs. enhanced/cranked up digital sharpness image will make anyone look bad.  There is ALOT of digital manipulation that can be done in Real Time to sabotage a visual or audio.  If Charlie Gibson used a teleprompter he is a fucking punk.

"A You-tube side by side comparison of questions Gibson asked to Obama and to Palin would be hilarious"
One problem though, Barry Sotero oops, Barack Hussein Obama would have to grow a pair before he agreed to something like this.
p.s.  Does anybody know what Barry Sotero's middle name was?

105 It's not so much that you're wrong,  Allah its just you'd rather be popular among the coffee-house Manhattan journalist crowd than  trust your own eyes.  I'm sorry, but you can be trusted to spout the MSM talking points on any particular issue no matter how ridiculous it is and no matter how ridiculous it makes you look.  Thus the postion you took on Basra, thus the postion you took on Sadr being the ruler of Iraq defacto and the postion you took on the Fred Thompson fire-hat deal just to name three.  Palin didn't show any ignorance on any of those subjects nor any lack of understanding of any of the subjects she was asked about..  If you'll get the MSM out of you ears and watch the tapes using your own judgement instead of theirs you'll do better.  Sorry, to be a jerk, but you asked.   

106 Did Trollbuster just hit the Moon God?  Whoa.

107 The lefties may have gotten what they somewhat wanted, but it's going to come at a price.

Whoever from the McCain campaign agreed to let Charlie Gibson do the first major interview was a dumbshit who needs to be backhanded.

The first interview ALWAYS goes to Brit Hume.

108 Thought Govenor Palin did fine, not great but good enough. Some of the questions were fair but that one, "Have you ever met any foreign leaders?" was crap. He just wanted to point out that she hadn't met any of the high-minded, sophistocrats that rightly run the world.

Wish she had said, "No, thank god I haven't had to endure that yet!"

109 HA! She didn;t know what the Bush Doctrine is! What a Hoot!



Uh....What is the Bush Doctrine?

110 Pssst! Mr. The Obvious!  That's not the real allahpundit you're insulting.

111 No, but the real Allah needs to hear it, doesn't he?

Damn, well those cocksuckers need to know when the German's bombed pearl harbor, we kicked ass. 

I really don't give a shit about Georgia, but if those son of bitches come near my beach house in SC, I am going to fuck with them.  Don't cross the fucking border, SC started one war, and they are not to be fucked with!

Get it Assholes? We still have a military college, and guns and shit.

Fair warning!

114 The other thing to realize with foreign policy is that she has to not only show familiarity with the issue, but with McCain's stance on said issue.  What is McCain's take on the Bush Doctrine?  Has he supported it or not?  Clearly, he is at odds with Bush over the use of "torture" but is that part of the Doctrine or not?

She had to be more memorized here because taking a position at odds with McCain would be seen as a gaffe.  Very hard to be relaxed when you can't tell someone what YOU actually think about the issue.

I would expect, for example, similar challenges to emerge on issues like Immigration policy.  Palin's best responses come from her common sense, and when McCain deviates from common sense, it puts her in more of a bind not to make him look bad.

115

I have the video, and my reaction at Nice Deb. Overall, I think Gibson was snide and condescending towards her.

I also posted his more friendly interview with Obama from 10 months ago, so you can compare and contrast.

He brought up "hubris" in that one, too.

116 The thing that we have to remember is that MANY people who watched this interview are not political junkies like we are. In that regard, I think she did very well.

Chew on this: Next will be questions about domestic policy and energy policy and that is where she is going to be much more comfortable and is going to excellent.

117 HA! She didn;t know what the Bush Doctrine is! What a Hoot!



Uh....What is the Bush Doctrine?

Heh, that's exactly what i was thinking. I've heard the Powell doctrine repeated over and over (but still couldn't tell you exactly what it is other than overwhelming force) but don't remember ever hearing the Bush doctrine.

118

Pssst! Mr. The Obvious!  That's not the real allahpundit you're insulting.

Maybe not but the poster was quoting Allahpundit over at Hotair. And the commenters there seem to be disagreeing with him.

Of course whenever I read a post by AP, I always apply an inverse pessimism filter, but this one seemed dark and peevish even after that.

119 No, but the real Allah needs to hear it, doesn't he?

I dunno. But if you really thinks he needs to hear it, you would post it on his site. Or, better yet. Email it to him.  I'm sure he will be receptive to any of your criticisms of him. /snicker.

120 I think Gibson was talking about the doctrine of preemptive strike. God, President Bush was stupid to ever articulate that position. Everyone knows it is the unwritten rule.

121 I have.  He wasn't... Doesn't mean I'm not right.

122 And trust me, when the folks at Talk Left think Palin's critics are being foolish on the Bush Doctrine question they are being damned foolish... http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/9/11/20922/5391

123 Ughh. Why can't we slap Allah around like that scene from "Airplane"?

124 It was perfectly reasonable for Ms. Palin to insist on a clarification about the frickin Bush Doctrine. It can mean so many things to so many people.  It was a trick question.  We know this because it was at the very end and when she  asked for a clarification, he just repeated the dumb question.

125 Would it kill these douchenozzle "journalists" to acquaint themselves with the North Atlantic Treaty?  Exactly what do they think the f'in VII Corps was doing sitting in the Fulda Gap for four decades?

I thought she'd get a fair shake from Gibson, but even he is caught up in the gotcha moments.  Fuck him, ABC and the sled dogs they rode in on. 

126

"We begin motherfucking bombing Goddamn Russia in 15 minutes, you magnificent bastard asshole dickweeds!"

- Sarah, channeling the ghost of Reagan and Patton drinking together in heaven.

127 Eddiebear,

No sense in being angry.  Just know that Allah is gong to instinctively adopt any MSM talking point that comes down the line and adjust for the break of the green.   It's what we have had to do with all our news coverage.  No biggie.

128 Hmmmm.

Frankly I think Palin ripped Gibson a new asshole a couple times.

Particularly with Lincoln's quote.

Right now Gibson is busy stitching his ass back together.

129 Hmmmm.

"Some are not...for example, I think Brit Hume is pretty scrupulously fair. Or have I drunk Fox News Koolaid?"

Brit Hume is a class act.  Whether or not you're a conservative or liberal.  I don't think anybody could argue that Brit Hume isn't a completely class act.

Last of a generation though.  Which sucks.

130 Brit Hume is by far the best anchor presently in the business.

I also thought Russert was good, but not as good as Hume.

Too bad he's retiring.

131 Think they felt that had to get the opposition to interview her or the rhetoric from the left would have never stopped.

But yeah, they should have had Brit Hume first.

132 The question, again, isn't what we think (unless we think she totally sucked), it's how it played in Peoria.

Who knows, on that score?  Watch the polls.

133 Didja put that tape in a blender, Charlie?!?

Editing - Epic Fail.

134 I'll speak for Peoria. She got about a "B" on that one. However, as somone else said, she hasn't been sitting in on Senate intel briefs for the last 100 years getting regional sitreps spoon fed to her. The Lady has been running a state.

Besides, those geopolitical wonks disagree with each other about 80% of the time anyway.

135 Loaded questions not a single Democrat would <i>ever</i> hear, nonstop condescention, dripping arrogance -- even cheap camera angles, imposing body English, and those fucking nose glasses.

Fuck you, Gibson.  You're a clownsuit.  Palin, who I know little about, shoved it in your face.  I'm sold.

I don't watch much network vomitus but Gibson just hit what must be a personal low.  Is this actually an <i>adult?</i> 

136 It will play fine.  Charlie hurt himself with this.

137 Sorry. I just thought it was a neutral gain/loss moment. No serious "facepalms".

But I am biased, so maybe I missed something.

138

The way I understand the Bush Doctrine is

1) you're either with us or against us

2) if you harbor terrorists, you're a terrorist

3) we'll hit you before you can hit us

139 What's this supposed to mean:

OBAMA PLANS SHARPER TACK... DEVELOPING...

140 I agree with many here.  She did not hurt herself.  Given the particularly hostile circumstances, that's good enough.  A solid B sounds about right.  I don't think she was nervous, though.  I would describe it more as intense, as if she was concentrating for an onslaught.

141 Robert McCain @ American Spectator thinks she won this.

142 Treacher pretty much nails it. 
http://jimtreacher.com/archives/001573.html

143

That was the most hostile interview I've seen in quite some time.

She's answering him, and he says he's "lost in a blizzard of words"??

When Obama blathers on for ten minutes, they compliment him on his thoughtfulness, for his nuance.^tm With her, it's a blizzard of words.

And has anyone EVER suggested to Obama in an interview that his decision to run for office is an example of 'hubris'?

 

144

Err,  yes, Georgia,  we should er, well, we should tell, er, someone, like, errr, yeah, like I was saying, we should tell Germany -oh, was it Russia?, well we should tell them, er, ah, did I mention lipstick on a pig, well anyway, we should tell Germany, or was that Poland, that they really shouldn't be er, ah, oh yeah that's where I was goin', yeah we should tell them in the strongest possible terms (they taught me those fightin' words at Harvard Law School  --oh, did I tell you my LSAT scores -oh, I din't --my bad) any-hoo, I figure my er, ahhh, experience in south-side Chicago communist er, ah, I meant community-activist organiziin'  type-stuff qualifies me to, er, ah,   lay the hand down on this Putin pimp. Oh yeah, did I mention that in  the  Senate of the Great State of Illionois, I actually show'd up and voted "President", ah, er, uhm, did I say that?, er, uhm, ah. I meant "present", 130 times.  Now, I don't know 'bout that traitor McCain, who crashed his plane, (this rapper thang could work out, too), or what that whore-mother Palin (doncha talk bad 'bout my mama) is getting up all in my grill 'bout -but I'm, er, aah, oh yeah, that's where I was goin' er, yeah, that's right, er, no, I meant left.  So, there you have it my fellow 'muricans, -did I mention my LSAT and SAT scores -I din't well 2 fuk'n bad.  Any way you should vote me because of all the lite that reflects off the bottom of my chin, when I stare into my future.  Peace out.  Your Prez

 

145 So honoring treaty obligations is considered "hard line" by the MSM now eh?

146

I think she was weaker than she could have been. She was acting as if it wasn’t a hostile interview and it clearly was!

She needs to force the interviewers to ask a specific question and not try to answer the question in any accommodating way. Let them do the work! The bastards want to crucify her and there is little point in pretending otherwise.

She needs to turn the questions around to what she wants to emphasis and flat out ignore ambiguous questions. I also think she needs to challenge questions that simply make little sense or are too ambiguous.

I don’t think she can enter an interview with the fake camaraderie that they so typically have. Assume every interview will be a hatchet job until proven otherwise.

147  #146

Did we watch the same interview? Her concentrated expression was a reaction to hostile questioning, I thought; she wasn't treating anything as friendly.

"I also think she needs to challenge questions that simply make little sense or are too ambiguous."

You mean, like, "which part (of the Bush Doctrine)?"

Come to think of it, I'm glad she didn't answer the question.  It would have looked un(vice)presidential to jump through Charlie's quiz show hoops.

148 Charlie Gibson sure is a self-important condescending prick. Sarah Palin came off relatively well but Gibson made quite an ass of himself.

149 Is ABC editing the video on the west coast feed to make charlie look better?.http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MzhkZTI4ZGJmYTdmY2M5OTMyYzE1MjFiY2VmNDllMzQ=

150 Well, heck - having turned into sort of a geeky wonk over the last few election cycles, *I*'ve heard "The Bush Doctrine" applied to many different things. Are we talking the right to pre-emptive strike, here? The Axis of Evil thing? Combating the spread of terrorism? Willingness to pursue U.S. interests in a unilateral way?

I think she was right to ask him to actually be specific.

----

And Sarah -- fercryinoutloud -- sit up straight!

151 I just think she seemed a little too eager to answer questions which given the MSM are all gonna be gotcha types or edited in the studio.

She shouldn't always try to answer the questions they ask. Answer the questions you think they should have asked. For example the question regarding experience. She should have mentioned her executive experience as a Governor, rather than the point about Russia as that is the weaker case.

152  Now we definitely didn't watch the same interview, because she did, to some degree, all the things you're suggesting she should have.

153

From the little I've seen I think she looked smart and serious and Charlie looked kind of silly. 

She was looking through her glasses with her head held high, he was looking over his glasses and down his nose.

154 I saw a 10 minute Youtube clip and it looked to be heavily edited in parts. I hope the McCain campaign made sure to secure access to the raw footage if needed.

155 PALIN LOSES THE INFLATABLE WHORE VOTE!

156 Allah is a world-class prick, and yes, he's wrong about this interview.  I've been blogging about war and politics for six years and I didn't have the slightest fucking clue what Gibson wanted her to say.

Which "Bush Doctrine"?  Are you asking about the doctrine first offered by Bush in his address to Congress after 9/11 ("with us or against us"), the one he put forward in his second inaugural ("democracies don't invade one another"), the one he's actually followed (sometimes I lose track and just fallback on #1 and #2), or the moral inversion peddled by the Left ("the REAL reason he's doing all this is blood for oil and dividing the country to win elections!" blah blah yadda yadda)?

Btw, how's that last one working for us, eh?

Does Allah want her to give in to Gibson's trap and say she'd unilaterally invade other countries? Oh, what a field day the Left and the MSM (but I repeat myself) would have had if she fell for that.

Her answers were perfectly appropriate, though my version sitting here at my desk had a few more expletives and racial epithets thrown in.  Good for her that she kept her cool, and shame on Allah for praying for more fireworks, just so he could skewer her some more.

Maybe that's the point. There really wasn't anything substantial Allah could say against her, so he trots out all he's got; "She was weak - I dare you to be a fanboy."  Fuck you, ya third-rate demigod.

And for the record, I'll post my messages to Allah here, thanks. I try and spend as little time in that cesspool as possible.

157

But, did she do Michelle's kids any good?

 

158 Allah is okay, he just has a bit of the Eeyore in him. Think he is just so worried that she will not live up to expectations that he projects.

159

Palin is a one trick pony. She ought to be called "Caribou Barbie" - what a lightweight!  Yeah, let's see her in front of Putin with her Tammy Faye hairdo.  She is being so overly protected in the last two weeks it's pathetic.  She is trailer trash.

TrollAlanche! Warm up the Anointed!

Get her some real scrutiny and see how long it takes for her to crack up and break down. 

160 Allah is what he is.  A smart guy who goes fetal whenever a member of the MSM looks at him askance.  We all have out weaknesses.  And the Repubs on the whole are better off with him that without him.  Just adjust for the lay of the green when you putt that's all.

161 Gibson was not ready for the interview, he got context and facts wrong. She did OK. She is not running as a policy wonk, she will do much better in the tax and energy segments tomorrow during the day.

162 Wow! Pretty shaky when she's not delivering the same speech over and over every day that somebody else wrote for her. Thinking is hard!

Did you notice that she got through it w/o a teleprompter?  And without lots of uhhh's?  Unlike some other candidate we all know.

Fuck off, troll.

164 I just scanned the comments in the thread, which I hadn't read first, and then looked at Treacher. Amazing how we all respond to the same bullshit so similarly. It's almost like we're part of a unified ideology that follows a coherent and logical methodology.

(And dear Lord, help Sarah lead us back to that promised land...)

165 I'm with you on that prayer of the promised land. First time I read Goldwater's Conscience of a Conservative, knew I found a home.

166 I want them to win, Gran. I just realized tonight that the last week is a fluke and that Obama and Biden are going to beat them up pretty good. Maybe she can get her act together and run as the head of the ticket in 4-8 years. I still like her, she just can't think on her feet or speak well if she has to come up with her own words.

troll? are you 80 years old?


If you really expect us to believe that you want them to win, we really want to play poker with you. You're an amateur, troll... you can't even pretend to moby well. Go find some other amateurs to annoy.

You know why your guys lose elections they should win, Donna? It's no big secret! People like you, think you're better than the rest of humanity, and no matter how much you try to hide it, it shows. We can all see your smirking contempt for your fellow man. I am sure you think that calling her ‘trailer trash’ is some sort of devastating putdown. You progressives see yourselves as especially knowledgeable about the world and dismiss others as 'trailer trash' or 'low information' voters. You see yourself as the select few on a crusade to save the rest of us from ourselves.

 

You are elitists in the worst and most vulgar way possible. Do you really see Obama’s empty platitudes as something more than good speechwriting? How has he been standing up under scrutiny these past weeks now that the gnobgobbling of the Democratic Primaries are over? When challenged he folds up like a house of cards and resorts to juvenile remarks about Sarah Palin and frat boy pranks like giving the finger to Hillary without the guts to even do it openly. He is not worthy of being elected as High School Principal much less anything grander.

169 High school principals are elected?

170 Kevinrudge, whatever Kos is paying, you ain't worth it.  Go back and tell him to find someone who is actually good at this.

Obama's already cracking up and he hasn't even been scrutinized heavily yet.

Whether or not you agree with candidates, I believe it would be best to vote for the party that can give reasons beyond "because God says so."

America was founded upon the written promise to keep the church and the state separate entities. How can one call themself of an American when our founders came here to get away from people who believe that they have been exposed to all of life's lessons by the time they finish their first year of Sunday School.

While I don't know what is best for the world, at least I'm smart enough not to dedicate my life to one theory. I'm also smart enough to realize that the King James version written between 1604-1611 does not constitute "proof."

Oh, this is good. Brooke evidently believes that all of us are fundamentalists here. Brooke, please return to your troll cave and come up with something that requires a little less projection and methamphetamine.

I finally watched as many of the clips as I could find on line.

I completely agree with an earlier poster:

"She came off well.  Not great, but good.  She will get better.  There is not there here. . . . I say this was a big point for the good guys."

Sarah was the same Sarah we saw in Denver -- our favorite detective from Fargo.

Gibson spent the evening staring down his nose at her.  The camera angle was designed to make him loom large and tall.

No gaffes, and some positively splendid moments.

The clip most likely to be played on TV -- the "God on our side" segment -- shows her modest, humble, in command of Lincoln.  And, with Gibson's "exact words" admonishment, ABC will be eating some big crow.

I say, thanks for the practice, Charlie (sounded like Hepburn to Bogart in the African Queen).

And, best of all, this reinforces that ABC thinks Obama is running against Palin.  Wake up, Barry, you need to start grappling with John.

175

Is it just me, or does it kind of seem like Russia tends not to start crap with nations that are members of NATO?

176

My God.  She did  not have a clue what she was talking about and was clearly talking from memorizing talking points.

She did not know what teh "Bush Doctrine" is.  My 5 year olds knows that.

I am a McCain supporter, but she is an embarrasment and may end up costing us the election.  The bloom is off the rose.  

 

 

Oh joy. As Someone said earlier, some troll site linked us, and now we have to deal with these amateur roaches. Suffice it to say that your friendly neighborhood Anointed Ones will be up into the wee hours trying to delouse things. Thanks for your patience.

The thirteen colonies were founded by Christians fleeing a land that persecuted their particular sect. This is the reason they wanted no official state religion to be established, which is a different thing than no religion at all. To suggest that they were trying to get away from religion is an absurdity.

What any of that has to do with Sarah Palin is somewhat of a mystery. She is a Christian who has never attempted to force her views on others. So is your tolerance only reserved for those who believe as you do?

178 Brett,

You're worse than Kevinrudge.  Really, Kos pony up some of that Soros money and buy yourself a real troll.  How in heaven's name did Allah fall for this silly crap?

I am a McCain supporter, but she is an embarrasment and may end up costing us the election.  The bloom is off the rose.  

eh. The Moby is weak in this one. At least follow the script - "I'm a longtime Republican living in a small midwestern town and I never thought I would post a comment like this..."

180 Gee Brett, what is the Bush Doctrine?

1. The policy that the U.S. would treat countries that harbour terrorist groups as terrorists themselves

2. unilateralism

3. pre-emptive attacks against hostile countries who have WMD or programmes to develop them

4. The doctrine that peace can only be guaranteed by all countries adopting democracy and the rule of law

An answer to one of these points would look stupid if applied to the other. Which was likely the point!

181

It's not about tolerance. I really don't care what anybody else thinks, as long as they don't make it a law that "life begins at conception", but it is God's will if you end it with a gun.

182 Yawn. You're tiresome.

183 Sarah Palin's life has been turned upside down by the MSM and lies put forth by the lefty blogs.  She has had little sleep in two weeks, she is tired.
Sarah said goodbye today to her first born.  Track is off to Iraq to fight for his country.  This is her first child to leave.

She has been attacked viciously by the MSM, Hollywood and Matt Damon.  She is probably missing her quiet Alaskan existence before she was announced as VP.

Obama has countless wolves digging into her past and trying to come up with dirt on her family.

SO I ask those who do not think Sarah did well in an interview by an arrogant, MSM cocksucker with his glasses leaning on the tip of his nose: with all things considered, don't you think she did awesome?

184 Yeah, I think she did pretty well. I just think she may have been too honest when the MSM is looking for a gotcha they can use to put the Holy Obama into office.

They are vampires and should be regarded as such in an obvious way so that she can communicate her distrust of them to the American people. Most Americans know the MSM is in the tank for Obama. Use humour and wit, but make that distrust obvious.

185

Wow. My post was deleted by the Troll. That's fine. I hope I never feel the need to bully a forum.

Thank you for the discussion The Anointed.

Thank you America for the beauty of controversy.

 

But that's just it, Brooke. You didn't come to have an honest discussion on what your problems with Palin are; you came to stir shit up and generally be a pain in the ass. Rational people can disagree- when it descended into name-calling, the kibosh comes out.

And to educate you- a troll in this context is someone who shows up on a thread purely to toss around insulting remarks and is not interested in the exchange of ideas. This can be characterized by condescension, insult, overheated rhetoric, martyr-esque self-righteousness, et cetera- all impressively displayed in your posting here.

Our gracious host gives us the latitude to police things, and we do so with great relish.

what right does a candidate for the second highest office in the land, someone who is asking america for the prividlege, of acting as vice-president, to wait over two weeks since her nomination to grant an interview with the media? This is not a Hollywood starlet, this is puiblic service- she owes it to the american public to allow the media to question her thoroughly- that is the job of the media in this country, to present the facts to the amerian public. and furthermore, wouldn't someone who claims to be such a reformer and a change agent want to interact wtht eh medai, want to get her message across as often possible?

Ahhh, but now we now the reason why- she is a complete idiot. she demonstrated major knowledge deficits, she came off as more of  hawk than George Bush, whcih is scary, and she speaks in vague platitudes and can't provide any specifics.

I can only hope the american public is smart enough to perceive this- McCain and Palin are bad news. Unfortunatley, you never know, after all, we elected GWB twice...

And if she really was the passionate change agent she says, wouldn't she want to talk with the media? but now we know why she's been so coy- she's an idiot- lots of knowledge deficits, more hawkish than Bush (scary!) and talks in vague plaitiudes while actually saying nothing.

And Gibson was not nearly as tough as I wanted him to be...not nearly as much as anyone has been with Clinton, Obama, Mcain or Biden for that matter. People without extreme right or left bias want to know the truth. And I got it tonight. She repeated every question as she memorized it....and still sounded dodgy. Is this the person I want making "don't blink just go" decisions that directly affect the saftey of my children? I think everyone should put their beliefs aside and really think about that question. Would you hire her to run your company? I was happy when she joined the ticket. Tonight...I was embarassed.

198 She is going to beat Slow Joe Biden like a rented moby.

199 Well, the Moby quality is improving.

200
Why do you even make these sad little moby attempts?

I have a little secret to tell the troll brigade.

Come a little closer...we are NOT as stupid as you are! You are not even bright enough to lie well.

201 A hockey mom who has not met any foreign leaders. Her answers where shaky at best. She appears to be trigger happy and ready to shoot without blinking. Like when she shoots moose from a helicopter. NOT READY FOR PRIMETIME.
WHAT DISAPPOINTED ME MOST IS SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE BUSH DOCTRINE IS.


PAUL! I'M PAUL!!!

202 I watched the video on Nice Deb's site. Thanks, Nice Deb.

Heavy editing. It even looked like on some questions they showed her answer starting in the middle. They cut her off so often it will be clear to anyone they are not interested in her, just what use they can make of her.

She slammed a home run on the Bush Doctrine question. The primary focus of the Obama campaign has been to tie McCain to Bush. So to answer yes to the question would have been a bad thing. Instead she slipped in a criticism of Bush in her answer. That makes that clip worthless to the Obama campaign.

ABC got no gaffes on video or they would already have shown them. They would be running constantly on CNN right now. That right there makes Palin's performance remarkable.

More people will see coverage about the interview than will have watched it. The coverage will be mostly negative and will be seen that way. Just add it to the huge amount of negative coverage of Palin so far and I don't see that this interview will make any difference.

I call that a win.

203 I don't believe in God, but that's ok because God hates me.

That's why I'm so unhappy

204 I wish someone with the power would edit these trolls posts the way ABC edited Palin's answers.

Yes, I do know someone has that power. So its not ironic.

205 She's amazing! Loved it!

206 OK... who left the window open and let all of these moonbats in?

207

She was gob-smackingly un-Oakeshottian.

She obviously lacks the depth and nuance of the refined, educated, and - dare I say it? - divinely formed Obama, not to mention the eloquence and gravitas of the distinguished Jospeh Biden.

In short, she's a disgusting Christianist breeder who no doubt tortures indigenous children when not shooting endangered species from airplanes.

Now, want to see my killer glutes?

208

The tenor of the troll infestation is becoming increasingly strange.

At first it was a few citizen-journalist type trolls, the ones who leave their droppings, then actually wait for some responses. One troll, one thread. But these last few have more of the sound of HQ troll droppings. One troll, a thousand threads. Just leave a note, move on to the next blog.

Within two minutes of the ABC News story on the interview, there were over 200 comments, about 95% negative. It's almost as though DNC headquarters had people just lined up waiting to post.

Interesting. And very transparent.

209 Wow!  The moonbats really are scared!  Good!  Now's the time for you trolls to practice saying: Vice President Palin over and over again so you will be prepared to address her correctly after Nov. 4.

210 I can't find the article I linked here yesterday. It was about how the dems were afraid Obama wasn't going to win so those running for congress were refraining from attacking McCain and trying to distance themselves from Obama. if that is how the democrat insiders feel, the trolls have a lot to worry about.

This new attack on McCain that he can't send email, is silly at best.

211 I would just love to see what the McCain camp REALLY thought about her responses, not whatever spin they are going to try to put on it. Was it better than they expected, based on her quick training sessions this week?

212 My, god! The trolls are so stupid they are sockpuppetting.  We can tell when you change your name and make similar posts agreeing with yourself, assholes.

213 So, who linked us?  I'm rolling on the floor.

214

As a constitutional lawyer and author of three NYT best-selllers who has been cited on the floor of the United States Senate, I can tell you that THIS woman would DESTROY the CONSITUTION!

Good DAY, sir!

215 Gibson's interview was arrogant, condescending, dishonest, and snarky.  The MSM is going to ruin our country if we let them.

216 I'll come right out and start by saying that I'm an Obama supporter (I know, I know, hissss, boooooo, etc.). To those of you who think that it's OK for Palin to have botched the Bush Doctrine question: I have no problem with a random hockey mom from Alaska not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is. But I do think it's completely reasonable to expect someone that could potentially be leading the country as early as January 22nd, 2009 to have a solid handle on the policies, doctrines, and standards that have contributed to US foreign policy for the last eight years, and the terms that refer to them. I would have been equally appalled if Biden had been come up similarly short in an answer...and Obama isn't 72, nor does he have a history of melanoma.

217 Repost here, LCE.  This is an old thread and that one is more on point amyway

218 I have no problem with a random hockey mom from Alaska....

If you're going to come here and argue, at least try to do so in good faith.

She isn't a "random hockey mom."  She's a governor of a state.  And before that a mayor.  And a former councilwoman.  And the former chair of the Alaskan Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.

In short, fuck off lefty troll.  You and all your dipshit buddies revealed yourselves quite nicely with your lame mobying. 

219 P.S.

How badly does it hurt your pussy to see Wonderboy Obama tanking so badly?

220 let's be real here folks. Dumbassed leftists like me think we can connect with you rubes by calling you folks. See how I did that?

this is about who could possibly be running the damn country! she didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine was!!! Neither did I 2 days ago, but I'm a semi-literate moby, so that goes without saying

let's be real here. just because she's pretty and a woman (which is why they selected her) doesn't mean sniveling little leftist turds like me are attracted to her. All of us are bicurious.

221 she sounded a little more intelligent than GW.

Since that's the guy that keeps kick your asses, Double Plus Excellent.

222

The interview definitely showed her lack of knowledge on some very basic and important issues in our world. Bottom line: she is unprepared and not equipped to be the vice president of this country.

Other bottom line: I am unprepared for anything in life except for cutting and pasting other people's talking points.

223

Sarah Palin was real in the interview unlike Obama who comes out as fake all the time.  Sarah Palin is genuine and she is who I would like to see in WASHINGTON as Vice President.

 

Fal

224 Bottom line: she is unprepared and not equipped to be the vice president of this country.

Heh

225 Jackasses:  Asking a question in which there is no one right answer and which Gibson himself got wrong is no "gotcha" moment for you moonbats. As you've already been told, attacking one's enemies before they attack you has been around long before Bush.The Bush Doctrine is a collection of policies. Preemptive attack is merely one of them. That plus the editing when Gibson misquoted her about her speech and when she tried to correct him he insisted he was right was another way Gibso made himself look like a fool. The fact that he and his network creatively edited out his gaffe and left her response out of context, is proof how dishonest they are.

226 Bonnie is unprepared and not equipped to post on aoshq.

227

Wonder what Bambi's "Doctrine" is?

Bottom line, he is unprepared and not equipped to be the president of this country.

228 Is it just me or is this the least extemporaneous concern trolling you've ever heard?   (For republicans that means it was unprepared) I've already cut and pasted this once, proving, pretty much, that I have nothing better to do with my time than drop ineffective screeds into right wing blogs that simply get laughed at while reaffirming everyone's belief that leftists are both dishonest and stupid.

229 Oh wait I went to college and managed to learn something

Heh.  Demand your money back.

230

Wow what did you have to do go out and search a thesaurus in order to pull out the word extemporaneous .  I see you used your college degree for something positive.  Now that we have gotten past the part about you being educated. Please go get a book on american politics, and then read a book on socialism and could you then possibly elplain the difference between Obama and Socialism? (Might be kinda hard not muchthere   Oh and could you possibly let me know what socialist government actually works for its people?  I bet your one of the people that believes that the government owes you health care and should bail out all of these people that moved into homes because they thought they deserved it just because they were americans and needed the american dream right now with out really working for it.  Oh and the best part is after their property taxes and their arm loans on their mortgages hit they were unable to afford their home resulting in the largest forclosure ratio in history.  This was completely due to Bill Clinton's plan that every american should own a home. 

 And you may want to actually use smaller words that dont have several meanings if you plan to insult someone.

231

I do however think its funy that the media and almost all liberal dem's are comparing Sarah Palin to Barrack Obama as if she was running to be president... and trying to debate which of them is more qualified. 

Point Blank if you need to compare Obama who is running for President to Palin who is a running mate to McCain;  Your canidate Obama is not ready to be the leader of the nation.  Maybe he should try being a Governer first and let Hillary have the nomination  at least then we would have some humor in the white house with Bill back...  That guy is great for a good laugh.   

See where the Dem's Messed up is when it was that close at the end of the primary and they gave it to Obama as they should because he had the majority of the popular vote in the top electorial states.  However they did not count on the thousands of peole that voted for Obama in the Primary just to vote against Hillary.

232

American politics, she quoted the declaration of independence as a law! Actuall, no, but I'll just say it anyway and hope it sticks. That's what us good little propagandists do. Anyhoo....Bone headed interview from all angles.

Willing to go to war over Georgia. Willing to invade Pakistan! OMG!!!! I have no fucking idea what NATO does! I'm dumber than a bag of liberals!

She looked bad!

233 Willing to invade Pakistan!

Actually, that was your guy.

234

He aint my guy!

And, now, neither is McCain. No seriously, guys! I'm totally a Republican!!! But after this interview? Like, oh my god! I'm totally voting Ron Paul. And I say this as a lifelong Republican who really, really, totally likes Rush Limbaugh and that Ann Coulter woman you guys read.

This isn't working, is it?

235 I'll go with Ron Paul!

Heh.

236 Just as a aside to ye link driven mobys, the main page is ace.mu.nu.  Post on a thread less stale.

237

Well I guess we could sit back and let Russia go and do what they like and take back Georgia with force then on to the next country of the former USSR and so on and so forth. Until Russia is now the USSR again. We will end up in a cold war once again.  If you think we live in a dangerous world today with the Middle East Islamic Extremists just wait if Russia is able to rebuild the USSR a new era will be here  for the arms race that will develop from this and our world will be a very dangerous place indeed.  If we become a pacifist nation unwilling to stick up for teh weaker nations we will pay for that dearly in the end.  We tried not to join WWII and we were attacked by Japan and you would think we would not be ignorant enough as a country to think history will not repeat its self as it always does if our nation as a superpower in the world sits by and lets another country start taking over smaller weaker nations......    

Oh and if we want to play the game of he said she said ... Biden told a man in a wheel chair to stand up....Wow I bet that made the gentleman feel great.   Seriously I mean if thats the judge of charcted we are looking for...

Oh and could you tell me the nick name of Penn St. University? I be Obama can now.  Wow talk about being out of touch....

238

My real concern is that Palin goes from "knocking one out of the park" at the convention to, [what is] at best being referred to as a "bad" interview.

Ok, that's not my real concern. Let's be honest. My real concern is that I'm not even competent enough to do some concern trolling without obliquely using the word concern in my post.

I mean, how stupd could I possibly be? It's a good thing I'm voting Obama because I'll never be able to find gainful employment.

239 Well, here I am again. Accomplishing nothing. Nothing new about that, I guess.

240

I watched this interview online from the UK and I can tell you that us leftist men over there love the cock n balls just as much as the one's in the U.S.!

241 I didn't watch the Palin Gibson interview, but got about twenty calls from women from San Franciso to Atlania who were angry with the way  they calim he viciously attack this great women.    Most had been fans before this, all hate his guts now and think he should be fired.  Respect went from 100% to zero.  what a stupid man.

So I watch it on u-tube and what I saw was an abusive man who just showed his colors in public.   This man should not be around women and young girls period.  He is a total jerk and abuser!

I do not watch morning Televison and had no idea such a horrible women hater was a regualr on ABC.  They need to get rid of this abuser.  He clearly hates women and isn't worhty of being in the presence of Sarah Palin.  

242 She went to the UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO??? What do you expect? She knows NOTHING about anything... Basically memorizes words and recites them, spends 40k on her suits and wears glasses to look smart. She freaken linked 911 to Iraq, and doesn't even know what the Bush Doctrine is??? She's ONLY travelled to Germany, Kuwait, Canada and Mexico? Wow, honestly she's the biggest JOKE ever! How humiliating would it be to have her lead this country.

243 I was a real supporter of Paling until these interviews. It is frightening to read so many comments stating "she will get better." Is this the same woman running for the VP job and a heartbeat away from Commander in Chief? How scary is it that her obvious lack of knowledge and understanding that she will do better? Does she need to study some more? We are to assume that she can cram for this job and will somehow click her heals and she will be qualified? From shooting moose to attacking the Russian's? I was all excited about her until now. She needs a lot more that a tudor! God help us all if we elect the hocky mom to the 2nd highest office! I hope this is all a bad dream!

244 Sarah Palin's 'deer in the headlight' and 'oh shit' look in response to the Bush document question confirms that she is not prepared to be our next VP and God have mercy, certainatly  not our next President. Republicans, keep prepping her and maybe in four or more years she may be better prepared, educated and ready to lead our country.  Hillary could serve as an excellent mentor. You cannot believe that her gender alone is enough to capture the vote of women.

245 yeah...i remember cornhole highschool....they had a great astrology program

246 To those who thought Palin didn't understand the " Bush Doctrine":
Apparently you mind was too busy of hating Palin, you did not see how clever she was for asking him to CLARIFY the "BD".  None of us ever heard of this term-the MEDIA& The Left made the terms up as they go along-is it an official term? where does it posted? Is it only used by ABC News?
The question was full of quagmire,  it was a trick question. Only IDIOT would answers it without knowing all facts or before thinking it through.

247 PLEASE LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF - "WILLFUL IGNORANCE" pretty much sums up this situation. I must have watched a different interview. Ask yourselves this, is it better to bullshit your way thru an answer and look like you are clearly bullshitting your way thru an answer or to say "Charlie, I am not familiar with what you are asking me" and be honest? I would have respected that regardless or if I support or not. This is CRAZY, for people to not only condone but PROMOTE her responses as legitimate or Charlie's fault (he's the one who was wrong). In any case the word(s) for today and this particular segment of the campaign - "WILLFUL IGNORANCE".

248

Great Comment Jeff finally a non bullshit statement on here that no one is going to touch... I cant believe that someone does not try to twist this around...  I guess we are on here for the sake of badmouthing Sarah Palin and we dont want to argue facts.  I gather Obama he would just rather go meet with Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Syria and try to be buddies and say hey guys lets quit building Nuclear Weapons... Oh and yea the funny thing is he thinks that it’s actually going to happen that way....  News Flash for everyone if Obama is elected he is going to hand our enemy nations a strong hold in Europe and The middle East by withdrawing our troops.  Pull out or troups from Germany and bring them home and see how fast Russia goes on the offensive against the US.  Quit building Missile defense systems and see how fast a nuclear weapon is fired on the US or one of our allies that we protect.

 Oh and OBAMA what happened to ending NAFTA   you have the Canadians get upset with your policy so you back off of it even though it would bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States it would have taxes imposed on imports making our goods made in the united states actually cheaper and increasing American jobs.  Seems like you have done something that no nation and no leader have ever done... Backed down from the Canadians.  If your going to back down from them how are you ever going to handle Kim Jong-il

Sorry Guys I voted for Obama in the Primary on his promise of change and to End NAFTA but I will not be voting for him in November.

The only thing he has changed is his mind which he lost when he did not select Hillary.

 

249 it saddens me to see what western media has people believing, that somehow georgia is a victim in all this, just shows how little you really know of the big picture that usa has always liked to bully little countries, maybe you should stop watching the big 5 news stations and read a little instead of sounding like a typical american with his head up his butt, im sorry to inform you but south ossetia is the real victim in that conflict and now maybe you should ask yourselves why they havent been talked about through all this, that someone the president of georgia thats done nothing but lie is somehow the victim?   why is it that the rest of the world has acknowledged that georgia started this and you sit here surprised that no one tried to twist this around?  on the palin topic, shes clueless and if shes to be vice president id be afraid of the next 4 years, what does it take to open someones eyes to reality here???   what does it take for people to realize that this is a joke and she was picked cause she's a woman, lets stop acting like its not cause shes a woman that she was picked cause its starting to sound ridiculous, she sounds like one of my sisters that always tries to convince you that she's right no matter what the casue, only in this case you're trying to convince millions and not just 1 or 2, give me  a damn break and it'll only be another week or so before they dont even wanna hear what else she's gonna bullshit everyone about, ive alreayd noticed that the hype is dying and quickly .....  thank god

250

Alister9 -

I am all ears could you explain to me how it is Georgia's fault that Russia used military force in their country?

And how it is South Ossetia that is the real Victim?

 

Thanks I would like to know so if you have the info please share it.

251 The organization, CCAGW (council for citizens against Government waste) has issued a statement on it's website regarding the Bridge to Now Where providing the facts and defending the position Gov Palin has taken.
link:
http://councilfor.cagw.org/site/News2?abbr=CCAGW_&page=NewsArticle&id=11594

252 well its pretty common knowledge now that Georgia was the aggressor in all this, if you google south ossetia you should get all kinds of sites and information on what really happened on that side of the world, South ossetia was attacked in the middle of the night ... genocide, ethnic cleansing is what saakachvili is being accused of now, ive always been very interested on what really goes on around the world and if theres something i learned over the years is not to take the Western media seriously, they have been well known to manipulate what people beleive and its very unfortunate, CNN, msnbc, fox, abc ....   http://4international.wordpress.com/2008/08/24/the-big-lie-of-the-western-media-on-the-georgian-attack-on-ossetia/
this is only one of 100's of sites from different countries, seems the only country that hasnt even talked about it is usa, why??? im not even sure i have my theories but i wont go there, i just wish for a change that we would get the real news and not have ot hear people like Sarah palin who clearly has absolutely no idea what goes on outside her little happy life in alaska say well if UN is in war with Russia i guess we'll have to go .... thats real nice to hear that from someone who could possibly be in power if the old McSame croaks ive been criticised many times about being against usa and i personally dont care what anyone thinks, theres quite a few things being said now in usa about georgia starting it with south ossetia and soon enough it'll all be exposed, unfortunately the Western Media will not cover it so no one will even know what happened,   South Ossetia, does anyone even really konw who and where that is?   Sarah palin thinks that Putin is President of Russia too?     saddens me to see any of those candidates even going there, maybe they should promise the people that they'll mind their buisness and not make allies with bankrupting countries over oil  ... yes oil oil oil

253

Oh I am not happy.

RE: editting--I glumly report that the uneditted version is even worse.  The tape was editted in her favor, go check the transcipt and you will see.  She also does not know what a head of state is. With a BA in journalism, she is completely in over her head.  I can relate to her so much, now I am wondering if that is a problem.  I am in no way ready to be president. :-(

This interview cinched it for me, she is completely unprepared for this job. 

The problem is not just that she didn't ace the interview, but that she revealed she isn't really all that interested in foreign policy.  Her answers were not only scripted but they rarely even answered the question. 

My biggest question is: Why did Sen. McCain choose someone so ill prepared to lead?  The Republican party has the greatest history of the most competent, experienced leaders, far more so than the Democrats.  So what were they planning? Who in the heck is going to tell her what to do?  And what is their agenda? 

I don't know what I am going to do now.

254

Maribelle-  I will not argue her qualifications with you however if she is not prepared how in the world can Obama feel that he is prepared.   He has done absolutely nothing that she has not acomplished and actually less on the scale of actually making decisions and running a gov. office.  Unless you count running for president of the united states as a qualification to be president.

Lets face it the Dem's made the wrong choice in picking him and he made the wrong choice in not picking Hillary as his VP.  Its a damn shame what pride will get in the way of.  He knew she was the ticket to the white house and instead picked someone that could in no way help his ticket.

255 well its hard to say who to trust when it comes to the candidates and if there was a NONE OF THE ABOVE that you could vote for so your vote wouldnt go uncounted, im afraid that NONE OF THE ABOVE  might actually win. anyways at the end of the day 18million plus people picked obama and 1 person picked Palin and that has to be mentionned cause we seem to forget that on a few of the arguments she made shes flip flopped ...  this really is about the top of the ticket mccain and obama but if for any reason anything happened to mccain you're stuck with Palin who has no idea about foreign policy and influence would surely play a huge part in decisions and this would be friggen scary, bottom line and no one can deny this, he picked her cause she's a woman and trying to win the votes that clinton would of got which should be an insult to every women who was going to vote for her making them seem shallow that they were only voting for her cause shes a women and not on her accomplishments and experience, she might get a few of em but not many, the hype is already dying out since this interview and biden should be body slamming her next week with a debating clinic, she best be ready cause this is going to be painful to watch for all those wannabe Palin fans

256

Calivotes--Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard.  He is a constitutional law scholar.  Did you see him speak in Berlin?  Heads of state were amazed by him.  200000 people came to hear him speak.  McCain tried to turn that into something negative.  It was a huge success.  Those are the people he would be working with to improve America's standing in the world.

I cannot see Sarah Palin even being able to have a conversation with world leaders.

Being a small-town mayor and 20 month governor does not teach anyone anything about foreign policy.

The world is as dangerous as it has ever been and America is getting left behind.  The dollar is in freefall.

Do I need someone who's "just like me"?  NO--I need someone who understands and can talk about the issues.  I have been reading up on Obama's policies and he makes so much sense.  I don't care at all for McCain as a person, and then Sarah came along.  Boy did she wow us at the converntion.  I love baby Trig and Piper!

But, as I have heard this interview and checked out her record in Alaska, she was the earmark queen of Wasilla (27 million in earmarks she took, and came into a debt free town and left it 22 million in debt)--and in litigation over sports stadium.

I was ready to shoot some reporters after they went after her daughter (not all of us were married when we got pregnant *cough* as in me) But when I looked at her record, folks, there's some serious skeletons in her closet. 

I don't want government coruption; we've had too much of that.

257 But when I looked at her record, folks, there's some serious skeletons in her closet.

Name one, mobus.

258

How could anyone listen to Palin's interview with Katie Couric and not

surmise that the woman is an idiot? How dare she even have the gaul to suppose that she qualifies as presidental material! McCain was a fool to choose her - a preview of his flawed decision making already.
