Glenn Beck vs. Sarah Palin?
Glenn Beck may have some explaining to do after a sexist riff on fellow conservative Sarah Palin. Addressing a comment by Palin that she could see her and Glenn Beck, who she called "a hoot," possibly running for office together, Beck said on his radio show he wouldn't play second banana to the former Vice Presidential nominee. "Beck-Palin, I’ll consider," Beck said. "But Palin-Beck — can you imagine, can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? What? Come on! She’d be yapping or something, and I’d say, 'I’m sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I’m not in the kitchen.'" Palin has been famously sensitive towards perceived sexism, recently criticizing a Newsweek cover of degrading her by showing her in running clothes. Will Beck be the next to feel her wrath?
SensiStar
So her first choice for VP tells her she belongs in the kitchen.
This woman is a walking dark cloud like Bush. Gaff after gaff.
Unfortunately for her most Republican men are going to feel that way. I guess Palin's going to have to go with Bachman.
I would also like to see if she goes at Beck like she did Letterman. Now that would be a civil war.
The 9/12ers vs the Palinites.
Far as Beck. He doesn't have to explain anything.
Republican women know there place. Barefoot and pregnant while in the kitchen.
Any woman with some self respect would never be a Republican.
Or at least one that likes to get paid.
When the Republicans in Congress voted against giving women equal pay for the same work as a man.
The % of women supporting the Republican party should have dropped immediately to the level of minorities supporting the Republican party.
But there they are.

Asking for the R. Kelly.

Ohh, My God!! This is a shining example of literary flourish: "asking for the R. Kelly" it's like a combo of shakespeare and seedy hip hop culture, I love it.

I marvel at their intellect and civility. Perhaps all barbarians will, one day, aspire to this standard.

It is remarkable that you make the comments you do. Martin Luther King was a republican, but one of his aides, a fellow by the name of Rev. Jesse Jackson, that opportunist who ran away when MLK was shot but came back to get in front of the cameras, was in the same category as Yassar Arafat, a man who didn't care about his people but saw an easy way to a quick buck and power. The smear that came out of JJ mouth for the last 20 years and combined with the Unions and others who have influence over others has seduced the black population for decades. However, ask successful blacks who they support!!!
Democrats use crisis after crisis and innuendo and slander to steer the public and have for as long as I can remember. They go into office for lifelong jobs, and steer millions into their special interest. Republicans generally fail at that, because they tend to turn on those that are guilty of doing that. Democrats make excuses for it, encourage it, and sell it as "dedication". When history is honestly written about the Kennedy's you'll find a corrupt, self absorbed, elitest. criminal family that was supported because of the "infastructure" they had in Boston, not because they accomplished anything.
John Kerry married money to get into power, and "traded" international assets to support his campaign. Barney Frank defended his boyfriend for running a gay bordello out of their home. John Edwards sold the party that his was the new saint and has proven to be as disloyal to his family as he was to his state. John Anderson dared the press to chase him and caught him fooling around on a boat which killed his Presidential campaign. The current governor of NY has his episodes of stupidity and bad judgement. Rostenkowski was put in jail for his history in Chicago. In California, Schwartznegger was elected because of the horrible fiscal irresponsibility of the previous governor and the one sided house of reps California has, which continued to date, and you can see the Democratic fiscal tornadoes in every major city they have controlled for decades.
Keep in mind that it is the Democrats that have the only active member of Congress who was a legitimate former head of the KKK, so I suggest you take a serious look in the mirror.
The continued fuss over Palin and the misquotes of Beck just reinforce that the smear goes on.
Democrats get elected because of their promise "to take care of you". Republicans ask you to take care of yourself. Hmmm, I wonder who really is looking out for our best interest?
oathkeeper
You can not have a battle of the wits with a liberal; they come un-armed. The only things that they have in their arsenal are smears, stereotypes and the latest political talking points supplied by their sheepmasters. If they exercised a little independent thought now and then, they would realize how dumb they sound. The Republicans (or more importantly, Conservatives) that I know, don't give a rat's a55 about what Palin just said or what's being said about her. If you notice, it's the Dems that are constantly talking about her. It goes hand in hand with the fact that tabloids target their marketing at (Not just women) but, Women Democrats. Do you "know your place" yet good little sheep? Some Republicans just fall into the trap set by Liberals, defending someone who the DEMOCRATS labeled "the face of conservatism". Most conservative-Republicans don't need a leader or face to bow down to. We don't need a label or a feel-good group to belong to or even a "party". All of those things demonstrate individual weakness and lack of free choice. No; the Democrats have a Monopoly in that field.
farkennel
Constitutional and oath,both great posts dudes.You have to admit though chaps,this is the sort of fodder that makes it easier for the left to attack.Palin and Beck are going to do nothing but make life a misery for the GOP. The opportunity for ridicule here is not a good thing for the right,and being laughed at is the kiss of death in politics.Check the glee in the posts under these.

Try all the diversions that you can think of SensiStar, the fact remains, that your golden boy and his gang, are in serious trouble and the Republicans are taking back control. Deal with it and have a nice day!!!!!
progressiveaggressive
The jackals eat their own-delicious.
(Though who wants to bet that Palin will dismiss the "sexism" as gentle ribbing bewteen two like "minds"?)
gak001
That would be profoundly hypocritical, but I'm not sure if I'd be surprised. I imagine she'd take a hasty apology rather than skewer him like Letterman.
keepakeeper43
Please God!
Let them run together for the Presidency/V.P.!!!
Sprinkle Bachmann, Coulter, Hannity, Huckabee, Cheney & Rush all over!!
A Wonderful Cosmic Joke!!
Amen!!
RUN!SARAH!RUN!
larry278
Yes, Sarah & Glenn at the top of the GOP's ticket in 2012. RUN SARAH!! RUN GLENN!! To quote Sarah, "That would be a hoot.", a ticket of the hopelessly 1/2 @$$ed, 1/2 wits.
centsable
Does 1/2 @$$ed plus 1/2 wits equal 1 @$$ed-wits?
Fordham03
A guaranteed landslide for the Democratic party. Bring it on!

You're 15 minutes are up Fordham, you guys are Dinosaurs!!! You were given a chance and, of course, you blew it!!!!
farkennel
I would hazzard a guess and say the most credible teaming for the republicans would be Huckabee/Romney......just a thought.
AlanD2
I've been pushing Sarah for months.
The only question is who is going to be her running mate: Bachmann, Dobbs, or Beck?
osea65
Mitt Romney/ Sarah Palin, that's the winning ticket, deal with it, and don't let the door hit your butts on the way out!!!! AHHH, love it sooo!!!!
Demsdisorder
welcom back Sarah and Glenn im sure you will be lamb basted for this. even though you aren't in office or running for office. this is a prime example of no publicity is bad publicity.
So go get em.... SLL's
jaydeekay
lamb basted = when one covers a lamb with tasty herbs and spices
You are one special person, Dems.
passin-thru
Wouldn't "lamb basted" be lamb that is repeatedly doused with its own tasty pan juices while roasting?
when-the-whip-comes-down
Why that would be master basted lamb... the tastiest and juiciest kind of all.
reasonable
mmm.....basted lamb
unclelew
Good one, whip. Also, ignore nick1936. If it casts a bad light on the Neanderthals it's "a non-story."
nick1936
This site is getting as bad as HP with all these non stories stories
Hippievet
Waiting for the inevitable... here it is. I have a list of non-stories on Barrack and Michelle, right here... oh, they were all determined to BE stories because they opened their mouth. Sorry. Beck and Palin (order determined my Glenn) are publicity whores, therefore their comments, especially when the comments include potential presidential tickets, are news. Why would anyone try to deny the electorate information about the next presidential ticket?
Saying this is a "non stor(y)", is akin to saying Beck and Palin's comments are superfluous, not well thought out, or... God forbid, unintelligent, sexist and crass. Or, they could be the well thought out, sincere thoughts of a person who will never be subservient to a woman and therefore consciously capable of sexism for the PURPOSE of creating a story.
Either way it IS a story.
sophia5
The article is from "Think Progress?"
Aren't they far left, and if so, what are the
chances comments by Beck were taken out of context,
and that he just may have been kidding around ?
The extreme right (birthers) and far left (truthers)
seem pretty much intellectually dishonest.
The media's attitude seems to be . . . Just throw it against the wall
and if it sticks . . . oh well . . . truth be damned as long as it sells ?
What percentage of what the far right and far left media
spews is taken out of context ?
Seriously, does the truth matter to the media anymore ?
getkicksonrte66
Becks comments taken out of context --oh please don't kid yourself, he's an idiot and no need to edit his verbage!
AlanD2
If you're talking about the Fox News / Rush Limbaugh media, then no, the truth doesn't matter, sophia5.
In fact, insinuations, distortions, out-of-context sound bites, and lies garner higher ratings than the truth. And we all know that ratings are what matter most.

Well both Palin and Beck are miserable basteds ; )
melpol
The mental illness called OCD has now gone political. Those that are most affected imagine that they are wealthy and independent of government assistance. There is help on the horizon. A surgical procedure called cingulotomy has cured hundreds. Doctors drill deep into the skull and thread wires into an area called the anterior cingulate. It connects to emotional centers of the brain where political choices are made. The surgery can be recommended by the courts for those that express violent views.
AlanD2
Could a class-action suit force all conservatives to undergo this operation, melpol?
farkennel
melpol if that`s true ,it`s some scary orwellian shit.

Another Republican union made in heaven.
If one name can't be on top of the other or one before the other what hope do they have to agree on policy?
Come to think of it, there is no Republican policy except to say: "No".

christer nut-job Sarah Palin gets stabbed in the back
by christer nut-job Glenn Beck.
Predictable, but funny none the less.
Next we can expect to see christer nut-job Mike Huckabee
piling on with more derision towards Palin.
christer nut-job Sarah Palin doesn't have the backbone to stand up to this sort of criticism. christer nut-job Sarah Palin may strike back but the damage is done.
christer nut-job Sarah Palin's campaign of victim-hood continues.
christer nut-job Sarah Palin must be "the chosen one" otherwise she would not be persecuted just like that dead-guy-on-a-stick gee-zuzz.
The world watches as christer nut-job Sarah Palin carries her heavy crucifix to her own political execution. Palin just never thought Glenn Beck and Mike Huckabee would be the ones flogging her all the way.
when-the-whip-comes-down
I love it!
MaeQueen
Those who WATCH Glenn Beck know when he's being serious and just humorous. This was a humorous riff, because everyone knows Sarah Palin is not in the kitchen, she's busy in the lower 48, which scares the Demobots, WH, Liberals, and the Left to no end.
RVGrandpa
The only this "Demobot" - Liberal is afraid of is that she might be left alon and hurt herself or, God forbid, and adult. There is nothing humorous about sedition. Some would call it treason.
when-the-whip-comes-down
MaeQueen, I could not agree with you more... After I read that story... I went and took a shower and changed my underwear.
I am afraid... I am very afraid... that I might need some more underwear for the next Sarah/Glenn story.
TREESKE
Scare the Libs? You like your idol live in the beauty pageant world!
bonafortuna8
Exactly, MaeQueen. I actually listened to that bit on Glenn's radio show and it was totally tongue-in-cheek. The "trouble brewing" with this supposed story is that it's a complete fabrication. Why doesn't the author instead write about something shockingly relevant (and completely pathetic) like the fact that Obama, the President of the United States, is soliciting $500,000 in donations from his followers to refute Palin's book--a book he said he was "probably not" going to read? Glenn is actually making jokes about Palin unlike the Pres and his fellow Libs who, although they want everyone to think they don't take her seriously, are in fact deadly afraid of her (not to mention terrified of Beck). Tell me, who is in control here?

BigRenman
Your link to the Examiner is false and goes nowhere, just like your ridiculous claim that 1) Obama needs to refute Palin's book (that she didn't write) and 2) he's soliciting $500,000 to do so. What drivel .....
cbeenthere
David Letterman's top ten re Palin was tongue in cheek also, and boy oh boy, did that go over like a lead balloon.
Face it wingnuts, Beck owes Palin a whopping apology, and you know it.
grkatp
He was joking around!! You liberals have no sense of humor!!!
cbeenthere
You mean like Letterman?!!
cbeenthere
And let's not even get into the old argument about the daughter whose mother invaded her privacy to get on the national stage thus making her available for fodder. Let's not.
elldeen
@MaeQueen and bonafortuna8: You righties always talk about how the libbies are so scared to death of Sarah Palin - or so jealous of her. But I think that both of these claims are not only stupid - but delusional as well! LOL!
osea65
Libbies are the definition of out of touch and dillusional, hippie, tree-hugging bureaucrats!!!!!
debbieqd
You're a dark side person, too. You think it's good for any American to be afraid? That's what you promote as love of your country? Fear is what you call patriotic? Let me tell you something, MaeQueen. Fear turns to anger and your side well knows. Bring Sarah Palin on and you'll see just how angry Liberals can get.

Talk about a couple of Prima donnas !! Running mates, soulmates. Yes, it is a Match made in Heaven !!
Palin/Beck 2012
bygones
Beck hit it on the head when he said "can you imagine what this would be like?" The answer is terrifying.
How any sane and reasonable person could ever consider either one of these two dunderheads as leaders need their heads examined. Too stupid for words.
Demsdisorder
the same way you consider Th Bman a leader.
Honchos
Yeah, it's not like anybody elected him president or anything.
Oh, nevermind...

Beck/Quayle 2012 or Palin/Quayle 2012 !
TREESKE
The big question remains; Why do people like beck & palin receive so much attention? It says a lot, not the most positive of the country's intellect.
DaleET
Beck and Palin? Of course that would never fly but then lack of experience seems to be who we are electing these days. At least Hillary had some of that, a lot more than Obama who is guided by the unseen forces leading US into a European like downfall. Come to think of it, even two novices like Palin and Beck wouldn't take US down this path of self destruction.
BigRenman
Wow! "the unseen forces..." Scary. But vague. And stupid ...
adlerman
I'm sick of the righties and their no experience comments after they elected -TWICE- the village idiot from Conn. by way of Texas- That moron had never even been out of this country except for a brief trip to Tijuana to see the woman and the donkey show.
Demsdisorder
are you taling about Dodd from CT?

Who could take either of these two pukes serious?
