Todd Palin SnowmobilerTodd Palin Snowmobiler, Sarah Palin Shocked At Lack Of Interest In Todd Palin Snowmobile Reality Show: This is truly a sad day for that relative who forwards you awful anti-Obama emails. Sarah Palin’s Alaska will not be returning for another season on TLC, and both that network and A&E Networks have passed on her latest pitch: A reality show about Todd Palin’s career as a championship snowmobile racer.

Sarah Palin and producer Mark Burnett are asking about $1 million per episode, and can’t believe that America isn’t interested in a show that’s just like Ice Road Truckers, but with much smaller vehicles, more forced folksiness, and no real point. But don’t worry about Sarah Palin, because she has plenty of other reality show ideas. Like how about a show about Willow’s attempt to set a new bass fishing record, or Piper’s newfound passion for scrapbooking?

Sarah Palin Crosshairs

Sarah Palin Crosshairs, In a special episode of Countdown on Saturday, driven by the mass shooting that killed six and left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords cling to life, host Keith Olbermann declared an end to the violent political rhetoric. In so doing, he ran through a laundry list of examples of even conservative, plus his own, and while critics may paint this as an attempt to bludgeon opportunistic those with whom he disagrees his main theme deserves serious consideration.

To this end, if you are inclined to dismiss this speech is based on a lack of balance, pretend for a moment that has included examples of liberals using “target lists” and imaging bubble, and consider premise of his argument.

Here Olbermann Special Comment, MSNBC:

The note refers to Olbermann, for which he later apologized to our own Rachel Sklar, is about 3 minutes mark in this clip where he says Howard Fineman that the Democrats’ solution to Hillary Clinton was “Someone one who can take her to a room and only he comes out. ”
As Rachel Maddow said, it does not fit on a sticker, so try to stay with me on that. Any honest person would recognize that this tragedy, coupled with the inclusion Rep. Giffords on Sarah Palin “the card-shaped cross,” naturally leads to connect the two, at least cognitively. This is particularly true given the fact that Giffords voted on the use of such imagery.

It is also true that the “plan crosshair” was totally irresponsible. While Olbermann talks to rethink the use of terms such as “targeting” in electoral politics, the image of the cross is evocation much on the nose of the murder of this metaphor in bulk. It is probably worse than using Bullseye, which are inert representations of a target, rather than interactive tool that lets you target. For all these reasons, it would not have used, and was rightly condemned for it. Despite all this, I doubt anyone thinks that his intention was to incite violence, and his refusal to change is likely an attempt stubborn to insist on this point.

Meanwhile, Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas immediately tried to hang the crime on the “American Taliban”, by coincidence the name of his book, but it turns out he also uses a little uncomfortable rhetoric Giffords on the district. He put on his “target list” in bold letters for emphasis, and used the “bubble” metaphor as well. This is not exactly the same thing as Palin did, but given today’s events, there is ample reflection.

It was here that Keith Olbermann has a point. When the passions are as high as they do in politics, we should all take deep breaths and think about what we say. When a tragedy like this happens, so closely associated with our political disagreements, it is entirely appropriate to reflect on our own inability to recognize the humanity of those with whom we disagree.

But it is also important to recognize that it is the actions of a madman, and even if the alleged gunman finally said, “I did it because the map of Sarah Palin,” or “Markos Moulitsas painted bubble for me, “they will still be the actions of a madman. Only a fool opens fire on a crowd in a supermarket, and it does not on a failure to appreciate the nuances and metaphors.

So while we should continue to police irresponsible statements like Sharron Angle Remedies 2nd Amendment, “and Keith Olbermann own scenario Hillary Clinton beatdown, or fantasies Pelosi poisoning Glenn Beck’s, there is a place for violent imagery in the politics. In fact, the sight of Keith Olbermann. Every night, Olbermann has the best segment of the show by saying: “Get out your pitchforks and torches…”

The line is a reference to fear, angry villagers in Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, and is clearly meant to be ironic, as the map of Palin was clearly meant metaphorically. That metaphors are poorer than some other taste is a fact that should be governed by their merits, not the ability to discern them crazy.

Sarah Palin RefudiateSarah Palin Refudiate:Sarah Palin is always giving people something to talk about. Today the term “refudiate” became the highest of Web searches after she included in a Twitter post asking Muslims to withdraw their support from a mosque near Ground Zero.

Ground Zero Mosque supporters: do not stab in the heart, like ours around the heart? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate. “Palin said in his Twitter account. Later he took the job, but then decided to include it again and defend their creative use of language:

Refudiate“, “misunderestimate”, “wee-wee’d up.” English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words well. I have to celebrate! ”

The Toronto Sun noted this is not the first time that Palin has used this strange term: “She first used the term on July 14 on the agenda of Sean Hannity of Fox News, when asked Michelle Obama refudiate” says the Tea Party is a racist movement. ”

Do you like this new term?
