   What ever happened to “takes one to know one?”

   Gee Rebeltor, didn’t you get the latest memo?

   A Muslim president is the worst person to decide if you are a terrorist or not.

   RETELT - I kind of like your comment on this cartoon, if you think about it it really fits, it is the sort of remark she would make to a group of Tea Baggers.

   As for the cartoon – Boy is he on a tear, what is this almost a cartoon (most really good) a day, while some cartoons are almost a month old.

   It is a funny cartoon, but it’s about someone no one really cares about any more. She was able to turn her 15 minutes into 15 months, make a ton of money (which allowed her to quit her job) and she will continue to so until even the Far Right and Tea Baggers finally lose interest.

   I don’t understand why it is acceptable to continually use the crude sexual slur “Tea Baggers” in reference to a segment of America, that is, by and large, productive, responsible, and the backbone of society.

   I like how even Barack has thrown the pejorative out there, then attends a “prayer breakfast” and says we are all after the same things for America, so let’s not question each other’s motives. Brilliant. Are we supposed to take the Left seriously? Ever?

   And, again, as I have noticed in other commentaries and comics, the Left simply cannot fathom that ordinary people actually believe that the Left’s ideas and goals are harmful for America. There always has to be some other agenda, such as “seeing that Obama fails”, or in this case, “$”.

   The rednecks lambast Obama for reading notes off a telepromptor.

   Let’s hear what they have to say about Palin reading notes off her palm.

   (silence. crickets)

   How is hope and change working for you bleeding hearts that like sayings rather than action?

   Look, DrC. When I speak, I have notes. I get lost early on trying to use them and everytthing is fine from then on. As long as I have one word reminders in a list, I can usually get the idea across. So I can’t complain about how anyone conquers that “speaking in front of” problem.

   So she wrote 7 words - yeah on the hand is dorky, but then it IS Palin -as a “guide”.

   If I were a political figure, I’d use a telepromter, too. And have a hard copy printed of what I actually said. A teleprompter gives you word for word what to say. No deviation from the text. No chance to get “off message”. So I have no problem with Mr. Obama using one.

   What I don’t get is how you can compare the two. OR why anyone is ridiculed for either method. We’re all so focused on “hating” the “other side” we’re missing the chance to see the way forward.

    Given all the cartoon attention to “teleprompters” , I was going to patent a new device called the “Palin Palmprompter” but “Sharpie” already had the patent.

    She can’t even keep THREE POINTS STRAIGHT! Gimme’ a break! DURING A “QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION” that SHE wrote the questions for????

    I’ve also done a lot of public speaking, Bruce, and understand the situation- Sarah is simply pain and small.

    I have, on hundreds of occasions, given hour-and-a-half lectures off the cuff without ever consulting notes.

    It all boils down to two issues: how well you know the material and whether or not you care if you make a fool of yourself.

    Palin loses on both counts.

    “I don’t understand why it is acceptable to continually use the crude sexual slur “Tea Baggers” in reference to a segment of America, that is, by and large, productive, responsible, and the backbone of society.”

    You’re right, it is insulting to call the part of America that is productive, responsible, and the backbone of society “Tea Baggers” as the two groups are mutually exclusive. Tea Baggers by and large have no clue how government or the world actually work.

    Obama rules?? Has no policies and speeches are primarily about himself growing up.

    DrC

    I give you this one: Palin deserves criticism in return for her telepromptor crack.

    I am disappointed the Conservative Movement does not rise above the politics of personal attack in all its forms. Either they have confidence in their ideas or they don’t. Leave the adolescent “nah, nah, nah,” for the Liberals.

    One more time. I was a teleprompter operator for 10 years. There is a world of difference between reading an entire speech word for word from a prompter and having 7 words on your palm to keep you on message. I’m not complaining, mind you. It kept me in business for 10 years, and still employs many of my friends and acquaintances.

    I’m not saying Obama can’t speak without a prompter. I’ve seen him do it on the rare occasion. When he’s not using a prompter, he has his talking points down pat (as most politicians do), and even then refers to notes (I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with this). When a question doesn’t fit his template, he simply ignores it and answers a non-existent question the way he wants (also as most politicians do). Nobody even notices he didn’t answer the question.

    GUYS!

    The message is not about the fact that she checks her palm it’s about what she has written there (in the cartoon).

    He’s saying that she’ll say what ever it takes to get the most money out of the pockets of her listeners.

    That’s all. It’s about how the Tea Partiers are being duped.

    It’s no different from when they go to church.

    They are paying a stupidity tax that dwarfs the Lotto!

    Again, you can’t be a literalist when interpreting this medium.

    The Teabaggers referred to themselves this way, as I recall. Ignorance of the language is no excuse…
