Palin Plays the "Angry White Victim" Card for ML King Day

Oh boy, Sarah Palin just loves to nanny-scold our duly-twice-elected President for daring to be black, and what better day to make her point than Martin Luther King Day? So here it is, from her public Facebook, another piece of Sarah Palin's trashy legacy of hate and racism.

From Sarah Palin's Facebook on Martin Luther King Day 2014:

Sarah Palin
Happy MLK, Jr. Day!

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Mr. President, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all who commit to ending any racial divide, no more playing the race card.

Happy MLK, Jr. Day! "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they... http://t.co/gzhX2KmLl9

I still dream of the day when the nation judged Sarah Palin for the content of her character. http://t.co/OQNQwiytCj via @youtube

On MLK Day, tone-deaf Sarah Palin says Obama plays the race card
~ Headline on LA Times

Sarah Palin whitesplains the meaning of MLK Day to that black guy in the White House
Word-twerking reality show spokesmodel Sarah Palin woke up this morning and discovered that it was Martin Luther King Day, which she thinks is like Christmas to black people, and, since she forgot to buy presents, she decided to give The Gift of Advice to President Barack Obama by explaining to him that the First Rule of MLK Day is that black people as a race don’t exist anymore so shut the hell up about them.
~ TBogg on Raw Story

We did not judge her by the color of her skin but rather the lack of content to her character.
~ Stewland on Raw Story

The Tea People and their 10 Watt Goddess never miss an opportunity to tell us that wealthy old white guys are the real victims.
~ FDRLiberal on Raw Story

In a classic case of projection, Sarah Palin wished everyone a Happy Martin Luther King Day then in her best finger wagging fashion told President Obama to stop playing the race card.
. . . Palin is still consumed by bitterness over losing the 2008 election, and she can’t believe that she and John McCain lost to an African American. Republicans have tried to use the ugly politics of racial divide since before Obama took office, and they have failed every single time.

Sarah says…again…”LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!”

She's like a Tea Party sunspot. Every once in a while she pops up and causes noise and static in our entire telecommunications infrastructure.
~ Bill B. on Huffington Post

She keeps trying to bait Obama to acknowledge her, but he's not having it.
~ Walter G. on Huffington Post

So Sarah Palin who defended the Duck guy when he said Black people were happier when they knew their place, thinks everyone else should stop playing the race card. Well, that's just rich, isn't it?
~ Jack C. on Huffington Post

That's really rich for her to even go there, given that nobody has divided the country more, over the last two decades, than her boss, Roger Ailes.
~ Maria Rosa on Huffington Post

It's part of the GOP Tea Party "woe is me" tagline they've been using every day since President Obama was elected.
~ Annie S. on Huffington Post

The race card? Isn't that what Republicans are demanding to stop people from voting? http://t.co/dNVHC4mtj5

Nothing celebrates the legacy of #MLK like Sarah #Palin asking the fist black president to stop playing the race card. On Facebook.

It's like a law of nature: As Sarah Palin's relevance fades, she will say more awful things to get attention

— Joan Walsh (@joanwalsh) January 20, 2014

Back then racists had white hoods. Now they wear lipstick. They used to yell "white power" Now they yell "stop playing the race card" #Palin

Senator Mitch McConnell Calls Hillary Clinton a "Golden Girl"

Don’t tell me the Democrats are the party of the future when their presidential ticket in 2016 is shaping up to look like a rerun of ‘The Golden Girls.
We have Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and a slew of bright, young, energetic governors ready to take America into the future. And the other guys? They got Hillary and Joe Biden.
~ Senator Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, at CPAC joking about Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden running for the President in 2016



This morning Mitch McConnell said that if former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ran for President, it would be like a re-run of the Golden Girls. I can't believe it, I have always admired Hillary Clinton for all she has done. Not just for America, but for women worldwide. It's disgusting that Mitch McConnell would resort to these kind of petty attacks.
~ Kentucky Democratic Party Chairman Dan Logsdon

Mitch McConnell making age jokes about Hillary? "Golden Girls"? Great way to win back the women's vote. What a jackass.

Who are you calling old, Yertle?
~ Maman on Wonkette

A shorter Yertle: "People should stay out of politics when they're as old as I am."
~ Tessa on Wonkette

As a pacifist, I feel like punching the place where his chin should be, repeatedly.
~ Abernathy on Wonkette

Golda Meir was 71 when she became Israeli PM. Hillary will be a younger 69 and the same age as St Ronnie Raygun.
~ keepwalkin on Wonkette

OMG....this from a DINOSAUR from a party of 1950 policies who don't like women!!!!!!!!

'Cause he's so dashing....
Throat wattle and all.
~ bibble on Daily Kos

But you see McConnell is only 40 in Galapagos turtle years.
~ Upper West on Daily Kos





And with that quip, Mitch zeroes in on one of the last few demographics that the GOP hasn't already managed to drive away. When the old rich white guys die off, the GOP will officially be extinct.
~ twinsidious on Raw Story

Well, the Golden Girls were a lot more popular that the Republican party.
~ Anza S. on Raw Story

Mitch McConnell, born February 20, 1942, is exactly 9 months older than Joe Biden and more than five years older than Hillary Rodham Clinton. But, of course, he gets to make jokes about how they're old because he's a conservative white guy.

Norquist Makes Weird Statements on C-Span ~ Updated with More Snark

From Raw Story

“Obama will be on a very short leash, fiscally speaking, over the next four years,” Norquist told C-SPAN on Thursday. “He’s not gonna have any fun at all.”

“He may decide to go blow up small countries he can’t pronounce because it won’t be any fun to be here, because he won’t be able to spend the kind of cash he was hoping to.”

The Americans for Tax Reform founder also said that “we” Republicans in the House and Senate would force the president to make spending cuts before passing any continuing resolutions, suggesting the threat of a government shutdown if conservatives did not get their way.

Grover Norquist is getting loopy from lack of oxygen, clearly. Dems win in sequestration, taxes go up either way: huff.to/ZlMbgB

Grover Norquist is a Racist Manchild
First of all, what does he mean by “we, the Republicans in the House and Senate?” Did Norquist become an elected member of congress while I wasn’t watching? Has he been appointed by Nikki Haley?
And secondly, will someone please fetch Grover his binky?
Setting aside the childish implication that the president is going to “blow up” nameless countries for fun, I take it as more than just a little racist to claim you’re going to place the black president on a leash because he’s an uncontrollable spender when we all know he’s nothing of the sort.
~ J.M. Ashby on BobCesca.com

How delusional is this fool. Who elected him to high office. He talks about the President as if he is talking about a dog or a slave. These right wing bigots have not got he message that they LOST..
~ comment by Marie B. on Mediaite

Grover Norquist may decide to blow small woodland creatures for money if his con game is found out.
~ comment by The_Plasmatics on Mediaite

Yeah, I think Grover was one of those who also predicted Obama would be a one-term president. How did that prediction work out Grover?

Well I'll come out and say it..... Grover you are a poopyhead!

...bitter party of one, your table is ready...
~ comment by Carlos A. on Huff Post

Grover, Grover, it's ALL OVER. No one voted for YOU. You are a PAID LOBBYIST and an unpatriotic little twerp. You have not changed your 'small government' stance since high school. Well, government is not a small child, and YOU will NOT drown it in a bathtub, because you, Grover, will soon just be a faint memory, as will all those who signed YOUR pledge instead of upholding the Constitution and representing the people who PAY their salaries. Please, please, please Grover....do something productive. Setting your hair on fire would be nice distraction, and will help reduce our heating bills this winter, since dopes like you don't know how to extinguish the flames you like to start. And when you DO set your hair on fire, don't slap yourself silly trying to put out the fire. Kindly stand still so we can toast some marshmallows before we sit back to enjoy the spectacle.

Republicans know a thing or two about launching unnecessary wars.
~ comment by Daman on ThinkProgress

Freudian slip, there; he runs the Republicans in the House and Senate so effectively and for so long that he forgot that the puppetmaster is not supposed to be actually visible to the audience.
~ comment by Teresa B. on ThinkProgress

This is called 'Freudian Projection'. A narcissist like Grover is only able to attribute to others his own motives because he lacks any empathy.
~ comment by Gene G. on ThinkProgress

Whenever tempted to take Grover Norquist seriously as a human being, it's helpful to recall his name is a perfect anagram for Governor Squirt.
~ comment by James O. on ThinkProgress

As is the case when you start ignoring a bully, they just get louder and more ridiculous. There is no "we" when Norquist talks. He is one man, without any votes or public support, who is now watching the limited power he had fade away as it should.
