Sarah Palin Invokes God in Defending Notes on her Palm

ABC News’ Huma Khan reports: What's Sarah Palin’s defense for scribbling notes on her hand? God did it. At an Ohio Right to Life fundraiser Friday, the former Alaska governor assailed the media for criticizing her for writing speaking pointers on her hand at the tea party convention last month. Some critics charged Palin with double standards after she took a jab at President Obama’s use of the teleprompter. “I didn’t have a good answer to that criticism because I thought it was so ridiculous,” Palin said. “But then someone sent me the other day Isaiah 49:16.” The verse reads, “See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.” For Palin, that was encouragement enough. “Hey, if it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it’s good enough for me, for us. In that passage, he says, ‘I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you.’ And I’m like ok, I’m in good company,” she told cheering supporters. Palin also called her hand notes “a poor man’s teleprompter.” That night, she scribbled a money sign on her hand to remind herself to urge attendees to contribute to the Ohio Right to Life, Palin said. The former GOP vice presidential candidate reportedly repeated the same God story again at an event in Calgary, Canada on Saturday.

Isaih 49:15 says: “See, I will not forget you…. I have carved you on the palm of my hand” Palin’s interpretation “God said I wrote your name on the palm of my hand” is ridiculous and typical of her deceitful behavior. I don’t think she’s in God’s company when she tells outright lies. It reminds me of her quote “The ethics committee said I did nothing wrong” when what they actually said was she did nothing illegal, but she was guilty of ethics violations.

…”SHE TOLD CHEERING SUPPORTERS”.. Now those of you who still defend this pandering dimwit, do you understand now why we are “highly critical” of her? It is her utter ignorance and the pathetic ways she panders to her “dumbed down constituency” that we cannot fathom or stand. A person like this; a hypocrite like this, has absolutely no place in politics at this level.

You know, the liberals hatred of this woman if fairly disturbing. However; with that said I find it funny they way liberals keep attacking her for writing on her hand when Obama can’t leave the house without a teleprompter and you seem to ignore the fact of Barbara Boxer having done the same thing. The difference is that Palin did it while going up to give a speech and Boxer did it during a debate.

Hey I guess the Liberals attacking her is easier for them to come to grips with the utter complete failure that is Barak Obama. Funny how you overlook the human gaff machine that is Joe Biden. What has this women ever done to make you hate her so much? O I forgot she is proud of her country and Liberals cant stand that they would rather send to President around on his apologize for America tour. Why focus all this wasted effort attacking someone who is not in an Elected Office. This is so like the Democratic Party attack the right as Sexist, Racist. And then attack any conservative that happens to be of a minority. I would worry more about a President with a -19 approval rating (Rasmussen) or a President and Congress that can accomplish nothing despite having a filibuster proof majority for the first 14 months he has been in office. Or a president who is spending more than his fiscally irresponsible predecessor. Or a president who claims unemployment will stay below 8% if we punish our children with reckless spending in a pet project pork filled payoff to members of congress but it balloons to over 10%. Then he bribes the last few holdouts on healthcare. But go ahead attack Palin if it makes it easier for you to sleep at night. Ignore the failure that is Obama and I suppose he is right when he said he promised change..Making everything worse is change.

Regarding teleprompters, I’ve been watching clips of Reagan speeches. Although Reagan delivered a famous impromptu speech at the 1976 GOP convention, I see teleprompters in front of him at all other speeches. Has Fox been keeping everyone aware of Ronnie’s teleprompter use as well?

The funniest thing about Palin’s crib notes was that she crossed out ‘budget’ and replaced it with ‘tax’, turning budget cuts into tax cuts. Was she confused, deciding to forgo spending less to generating less revenue. Hardly the same thing. To me it just signifies Palin’s lack of coherent thought. She is just a bundle of far-right talking points, points that seem to confuse her.

When will the obamabots realize that they have bought into a lie? Obama is not a genius who will bring the world together, as the media has so desperately attempted to get us to believe. Just as Sarah Palin is not a total moron who can’t pass a literacy test.
Palin out debated a 35 year sitting senator, albiet joe biden, in front of 70 million people. She is also completely self made. She threw corrupt members of her own party out, resulting in multiple indictments and prison sentences for many.
Obama, on the other hand, is a dirty chicago politician who USED corrupt members of his own party (bill ayers, tony rezko, rashid khalidi, bernadine dorhm, rev racist) to get a head. He crawled out of the the “chicago machine”, also known as the dirtiest political city in America, without ever taking on the corruption- ever.

Posted by: batesba74 | March 8, 2010, 1:44 pm 1:44 pm

My problem with Palin is that she is too shallow. Palin will never think at a level of complexity required to resolve historic mistakes. The bulk of our nation’s economic woes, and our economy is our most important asset, is due to we baby-boomers choosing to favor ourselves over everything else. We have not prepared the treasury for the cost of our social security and medicare benefits, even though we have known our entire adult lives we would bankrupt the systm. We chose to not run budget surpluses in normal economic periods. We always chose to run up debt, at both the personal and governmental levels. Now we head to our grave to leave the mess to the following generations. I strongly recommend everyone study the national debt charts. Since 1981 we have ran serious budget deficits with the exception of the late 1990′s. Then in 2001 we decided to forgo paying our way and started running debt at an even faster pace. We baby-boomers leave a legacy of lifetime fiscal irresponsibility. Now the political momentum is to hand the reigns back to the GOP, who has been in charge most of the last thirty years and has a clear record of failure.

Not only is she now comparing herself to God, she just announced that she and her family crossed the border into Canada to – you got it – take advantage of their health care system. Guess it’s okay for the precious Palin’s to enjoy the benefits of government run health care but when it comes to the rest of Americans getting the same treatment, we’re subjected to death panels and big government. This chick is beyond a hypocrit – she’s a flat out liar and an American disgrace. You betcha!

Please tell me how you can say Sarah Palin is shallow? She worked her butt off to become mayor and then oil and gas regulator (which paid 6 figures by the way), only to resign the post she worked so hard to get after she realized that the republicans that appointed her were in bed with big oil.
Her whistle blowing led to some of the largest ethics charges against members of her own party! She did this knowing that she would probably never have a future in alaskan politics ever again.
Somehow she managed to become a Governor at the dsigust of the both the republican and democrat establishments, and yet the people of alaska gave her a 90% approval rating when mccain picked her.
She sold the private jet, fired the private chauffer and chef to relieve the taxpayers. Ultimately she resigned as gov after going through 19 ethics lawsuits (she won all of them) which landed her family $600,000 in legal fees for a job that paid her $150,000 a year, with another 20 ethics lawsuits lined up.
Her state and her staff were crippled, but rather then just coasting she resigned to free her state up (90% of her staff’s time were devoted to these saul alinksy-like lawsuits).
This woman is exactly what we need in washington right now, not some chicago machine puppet who has more dirty friends then al capone.

Obama goes on leno and insults handicapped people, he proudly claims that he “has been to all 57 states”, he says that the Boston PD “acted stupidly” then says that he “doesn’t have all of the facts”, he goes on a ridiculous apology tour for America around the world, he plays more golf in 6 months the George Bush did in 2 years and he is nothing more then the product of his racist preacher’s sermons that he listened to for 20 years, which he apparently didn’t hear once.
And as for joe biden’s insane remarks, there are just too many to name.

She sold the plane a loss and not off e-bay like she said. She charged the state to eat out of her house. She charged the state to take her girls on a fantastic vacation to NYC. She did not win all ethics lawsuits – because she lied when she told you they cleared her completely in troopergate. She had to pay money out of her pocket for what SHE set up. In other words, cry me a river that her own deal cost her there. THEN she got in trouble for a PAC trying to pay her bills. Her ethics stuff never cost $600K.

dave and loyal…you two will never get it will you? If I told you once, I’ve told you more than twice. I am a registered Republican who is totally “disgusted” with his Party’s antics – especially floating an ignoramus like Palin to us as a “legitimate cadidate”. My dislike of her is because she is narrow minded and ignorant and she proves it every time she opens her mouth. And all she is doing is “pandering to people of like mentality” – to get rich. Now you can claim I am a “liberal” all you want. I notice people like you do that when you are “cornered” and have nothing positive to talk about. But that is exactly why I doubt I will ever vote Republican again. There are no “positive plans or ideas for the middle class”. All they do now is “beat on the negative”, create as much “fear” as possible and rile up your emotions on subjective interpretations of “freedom, liberty, and religion”. The only chance they have now is to create anger, frustration and disenchantment “in the masses” so that the “masses backlash vote” them back into power. You wanted “substance”, you got it! Bet the first thing you do to counter me is “call me a name”.

I am not a republican, I am a conservative. I believe in limited government, low taxes, individual liberty and a strong national defense. Obama/democrats are pretty much the direct opposite of those 4 things.
How can you possibly call Sarah Palin an “idiot”. Iconic liberal women like Pelosi, kennedy, clinton, huffington all got to where they are because of powerful/wealthy men around them while Palin’s husband was a freakin fisherman, yet somehow people like you believe the media when they tell you she is the stupid one of the group.
She fought corruption and exposed the dirty ways within her own party, and you tell me that’s not what we need in washigton right now? We need chicago “pay to play” cronies?
Palin has survived some of the most viscous attacks launched against a politician that i have ever seen, and she has NEVER said something even remotely as stupid as joe biden or barrack obama.
She is about as tough as they come. Just keep underestimating her and watch what happens.

I said “thanks but no thanks to that bridge to nowhere.” In other words, they built a dang road to nowhere on federal money. In fact Alaska got the most pork per capita the last 9 of 12 years. So they should not need too much local money, they had me helpig pay for them all.
Your pretty bimbo is a vindictive snot that has a trail of good people she’s fired just because they dared make a peep at her. A town librarian comes to mind.
Let’s cover this again because I know it’s hard for so many of you. Poor Palin paid out of pocket for something SHE invented. SHE put that whole ethics deal together. So the reason she paid out of pocket is because she was too stupid to do her thing she put together correctly. The state did nothing to her – she did it to herself.
And mostly? She quit for the money and not for viture. She lied to you. P.S. Her grandson is on socialized medicine (come to find out Todd’s related to indians!) AND she just admitted she’s gone over to Canada for cheaper medical care before. She’s the biggest hypocrite out there.

Sarah Palin is not stupid. She is just funny and smart, and she is right using Bible’s verse. By the way, congratulations to Sandra Bullock for winning the best actress on her movie, The Blindside. The movie of this message is about less fortunate children who were given chances to show their inner talents and strengths. This movie has very clear and moral children to the liberal women of today about opting of abortion and do not want to raise their own children. To all liberal women, I say, who knows, the child in your womb that you wish to abort might be the future president of your own country. So, liberals, better think twice!!

Palin is a hypocritical moron. She belongs with the other greedy, self-absorbed skenks on reality TV.

Sarah who?

Sarh Palin = The dumbing down of America. Wink! wink! Have another twelve pack Joe!

My Mother taught me, Yes, taught me and I didn’t learn it on television this bit of wisdom.
1. Smart people talk about ideas, and concepts
2. Average people talk about things, example cars, vacations, food. etc (this is not all bad as we all do this)
3. Stupid People talk about other people. Not only has the paid posters badmouth Sarah Palin (without any facts or reason), but they do it with severe malice…why?
normal people do not do things without reasons. Methinks they are number 3 or just getting paid for it.

Thank God for Sarah Palin. She sure has a way of putting the fear of God in you Liberals. Thats a good thing. ;)

TheLoyalOpposition posted “Gosh, these posts!! —- Just mention Sarah Palin and the libs all sputter, cough, grunt, froth at the mouth…. I think it’s like kryptonite to Superman… ha-ha!!”
It is called a gag reflex. It happens every time someone tries to swallow the notion that Palin is some sort of great leader.

btw..not sure where Palin gets the idea that this scriptural quotation means God “scribbled” something on his hand, also I imagine people like herself have a hard time with any kind of subtle symbolism like some found in the scriptures. It’s not just that she wrote on her hand, it’s that the concepts were so basic, and that when listening to her at times people with common sense and an education do wonder sometimes if she can tell the difference between her behind and her head.

She’s clever in the sense of knowing how to put the right words together to please those who hear what they want to hear.
No “death panels” in any health reform bills? Who cares. People want to hear bad things.
She disses Obama for using a teleprompter and now prides herself on using a “poor man’s teleprompter” – during a speech for which she was paid $100,000.
But those who hear what they want to hear fixate on “poor man” and say hooray – she’s just like us!

hopesprings52:
“You 20-something “jounalists” need to get a life. What is it about Sarah Palin that you FEAR to be just digging up these “snippy’ little stories about her 24/7? You seem to ignore VP-Joe Bidens’ gaffs!”
Nobody is “afraid” of Sarah Palin. The reason she is ridiculed so much is because she places herself on a pedestal, and attacks other people for things she herself does (ie, a hypocrit), or flat-out lies about what she’s done, does, or says, in order to appeal to her adoring followers, who can’t seem to grasp the fact that she’s using them.
She’s a serial quitter, who’s only in it for the money and fame, after she got a taste of it after McCain (stupidly) chose her as his VP pick to try and garner female votes (“Look, I have a female VP choice, all you women who are mad that Hillary lost should vote for me now, right?!”).
But, you’d rather claim that people “fear” her, because that validates your own support of her. Clearly she’s doing something right of people are “afraid” of her, right? It can’t just be that they’re laughing hysterically at her idiocy, and thereby causing you to doubt yourself. Right?

…”SHE TOLD CHEERING SUPPORTERS”.. Now those of you who still defend this pandering dimwit, do you understand now why we are “highly critical” of her? It is her utter ignorance and the pathetic ways she panders to her “dumbed down constituency” that we cannot fathom or stand. A person like this; a hypocrite like this, has absolutely no place in politics at this level.
Well said, sir. Well said!

Dave wrote, “Palin had to pay out of her own pocket because the state of Alaska does not pick up the tab automatically for politicians legal fees, especially one with 19 frivious complaints. Her state and staff were completely crippled by obama’s liberal henchmen.”
Hahahahahahaha! “Obama’s liberal henchmen”! I LOVE that. And it is the height of irony that those “frivious” (I’m guessing you meant frivolous) lawsuits are the result of Palin’s own policy regarding the filing of ethics complaints in Alaska. Priceless! The only thing “crippled” here is Palin’s brain…..

And she does it with absolutely no shame or sense of embarrassment. Thankfully she will never run for public office again. She won’t want to take the pay cut!

The liberal democrats that are so quick to criticize Palin are truly not afraid of her, we are afraid that some Americans who feel she is the next best thing to sliced bread are just horrified that any normal thinking human being would be able to see right through her as to the real lunatic she is. Her political aspirations aside, (as she really has none that would reach a reality) she is constantly showing how mentally unstable she really is. We see a guilable citizenry devoted to her, and a personality that is borderline home grown terrorist. She incites racism and manufactured violence wherever she goes. Her followers are so fanatical that they cannot see how her comments and idealogy are so extremely divisive that they hurt all Americans hoping for civility in our own country. The republican party has embraced her as they have noone else that demands media attention like her. She has seen the limelight, likes it, and will do anything to divide this country. Are we afraid of her ever getting elected? NO Are we afraid of the right wing fringe element that she courts and instigates? Absolutely.

I am constantly astounded by the vitriolic reaction that Sarah Palin evokes. I think she must be, to some extent, theraputic for a lot of people. A convenient target of scorn, for no reason other than to enable you clowns to scribble your trashy comments.
First of all, it was a joke. A joke. Second, even if it were not a joke, isn’t there even an ounce of decency in any of you people? Does everyone need to be godless?
Your reaction is Pavlovian.
And so very infantile.
Shame on all of you.

Batesba74 You need a little civics lesson, “The President proposes and the
Congress Disposes”. Your damn right the
US owes apologies to a lot of folks especially the innocent dead ones…
Oh I forgot, dead foreigner are just
stats for Conservatives. Bush soured the world on the US despite all we have
done for just about everyone.
If you really think that “hero” McCain
and the Queen of Alaska would have done
a better job by waving the magic Conservo-wand to fix it all with more unfunded tax cut for Billionaires
you’re no smarter than the crib note
reading Barbie.

She might go down in history as the most famous quitter. Both her and Beck are unintentionally funny, which is the best kind of humor imho. Shallow, contradictory, pandering. She makes Bush seem intellectual. All the right wing nuts don’t keep mentioning Biden which is also funny, they don’t know a good joke when it’s on them.

Posted by: dilly | March 9, 2010, 3:41 pm 3:41 pm

She was in Calgary, Alberta to spread her nonsense. Unfortunately Alberta has some of those redneck Bible thumpers to whom she appeals. The rest of us don’t want her back, so please keep her south of the border. We’re begging you!!!!!!

Posted by: Canuck | March 9, 2010, 4:20 pm 4:20 pm

How totally ridiculous that anyone would put speaking points written on your hand and reading a every word of a speech off a teleprompter (which isn’t acceptable even for actors to do, in the same category. But I guess the media is running criticisms and can’t tell anymore lies about her. But, I have a question. Why are the Obamas worshiping media so afraid of one woman. Maybe two questions. For people that hate lawyers, why are so many Obama worshipers attacking her at every turn. Maybe fear is the answer.

Posted by: Cynthia | March 9, 2010, 5:10 pm 5:10 pm

One thing I have to say about liberals. They will blame someone else when every time and when they can’t, they ridicule and belittle. Not counting that most of them are ignorant woman haters. The real funny part is watching the Bimbo’s that (that got their vocabulary from ’17′ magazine and Vogue) try to sound intelligent. Come on girls, lets hear the cheer “Oh, Obama, you’re the best.” ‘Nancy Pelosi, the only real feminist. We Love you too.” Oh and “Al Gore, he’s our prophet.” And you guys have the nerve to keep attacking Sarah Palin. Kind of sick, isn’t it.

Posted by: Cynthia | March 9, 2010, 5:37 pm 5:37 pm

I know Palin supporters like to say the media is picking on Sarah. The media is just pointing out what Jeb Bush pointed out. She is not intelligent and it shows. She talks about Obama using a teleprompter and she writes note on her hand. Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black.

Who are these people who cheer this woman when she tries to speak.Is she comparing herself to God.Not even a first grade should listen to her,she will turn them into a dumb bat.Hey McCain u put the country first.That’s why other country cant respect America.

She’s profoundly uneducated and it shows. In leaps and bounds. It just goes to show how out of touch the subsection is that follows her, in a almost cult-like mentality to defend her and her…decidedly unstable actions. Its a pack mentality. They didn’t even realize what tea-bagging means either and had to change it to the tea-party, which…is another idiotic name. “Let them drink tea” must be akin to “Let them eat cake” as far as their standards go. Only they are the ones who would be eating the cake while everyone else suffers.
Makes me glad I’m an Independent. She makes me ashamed that I’m a woman, if this is all we have to look up to.

People seem to forget that it was Bush who first threw out money at the banks, after getting us 8 years in a hole (in the wrong country entirely too) with warfare, after 9/11. That’s his legacy. I’d never vote for Sarah Palin, her experience isn’t ENOUGH and not without its tarnish, to run an entire country. *shrug* Short term memory at its finest, if she’s got to write notes on her hands. If she were president, she’d be using a teleprompter just like Bush did.
