What’s that moving rhetoric and stunning cadence we hear? It couldn’t be Martin Luther King, Jr., because he’s — oh! It’s Sarah Palin! Sometimes we confuse the two, seeing as they are basically the same person.
COMPARE:
Honors
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Nobel Peace Prize, national holiday, national monument.
Sarah Palin: Own reality show.
Boycotts
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Boycotted the racist indignities Montgomery forced on its black citizens.
Sarah Palin: Boycotted Bristol and Levi’s wedding.
Violence
Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.”
Sarah Palin: Never shoot anyone unless you’re in a war or need to defeat socialism. Shoot absolutely everything else.
Public Speaking
Sarah Palin: Makes living getting paid to do it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Lived to do it. Ultimately, paid for it.
Assassination
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Assassinated once.
Sarah Palin: Feels assassinated once every news cycle.
Happy America Becoming Less Racist Day, y’all.

Have I ever mentioned I would be quite pleased to read that a freight train fell on this woman?
What has an innocent freight train ever done to deserve that?
Sarah's just a big ol' troll, doing it for the lulz.
NOT CIVIL
WHORES!
Oh a freight train would be WAY too good for her!
Better it should be a tea party express crazy train!
You win one Internets.
Better yet, for the sake of sweet irony, let it be the Straight Talk Express. Also. Tambien.
Is a bus dropped ironically aware of the irony? Is the victim aware?
THAT'S NOT RAILCAR TRANSCENDENCE
a thousand thousand fists up to you, friend. thank you.
Thank you, sir or madam. I gave you a reach-around.
"Have I ever mentioned I would be quite pleased to read that a freight train fell on this woman?"
Typical libunatic violent rhetoric.
Re: another violent liberal, Jared Lee Loughner:
"He became intrigued by antigovernment conspiracy theories, including that the Sept. 11 attacks were perpetrated by the government and that the country’s central banking system was enslaving its citizens. His anger would well up at the sight of President George W. Bush." (NY Times) .
That too sounds a lot like the typical posters here.
Cutting and pasting the same comment everywhere!
Even easier than thinking for oneself!
Everywhere? Do you mean in all 60 states? Are you wee-wee'd up?
Get off the internet, Trig!
All right, goddamn it! How about "…I would be quite pleased to read that a freight train gently fell on this woman?" That covers it, right? Right?
So does this mean that you're finally out of the closet…as pro-government?
What about all the Republiklans that are now distancing themselves from the Bushyt Misadministration under the guise of it leaving behind the conservative principles?
Sounds more like George W. Bush was not conservative enough for Mr. Loughner.
Closet lurker, and pee thief. If you like golden showers that much dude just ask at the gay bar.
It would be better if they asked at the biker bar.
So, you have what, like 16 different IDs here under different creepy names to represent your different personalities? Is there a drug I can take to be like that?
No, you can only be born this stupid.
Typical libunatic violent rhetoric.
Re: another violent liberal, Jared Lee Loughner:
"Blah blah blah, some bullshit quote about being pissed at George W. Bush"" (NY Times) .
That too sounds a lot like the typical posters here.
—————————————————————————————-
And that, too, sounds a lot like the typical trolls here.
You can believe that helicopter moose hunter fraudulent swig of cat piss would survive quite nicely while the freight train in shambles would be cited as part of a conspiracy and a direct threat against her and her family.
One can only dream
"Are we really taking this thing seriously? 'All men are created equal.' And that means that every man who lives in a slum today is just as significant as John D., Nelson, or any other Rockefeller. Every man who lives in the slum is just as significant as Henry Ford."
Yeah. I can totally see $arah saying that.
I don't have audio at work so I'm guessing what she is saying. "Blah, blah,blah,blah, America needs values blah,blah,blah,blah, Death Panels blah,blah,blah,blah, back to family blah,blah,blah,blah,blah, blood lible".
Did I really miss anything?….No.
Pretty much. I made out "…proud of us…" Makes me miss those low-self-esteem days of yore, before the me myself and I era. Is MLK supposed to be proud of us? Should we be proud of ourselves?
needz moar skreeching.
"Blah" can't be said in the proper shrieky key. It's more like, "Aack, aack, aack …"
Bill the Cat would hack up a spitnfurball if he heard you compare his dialect to Palin's
Hell, I never thought I'd say such a thing, but comparing Dumbelina to "Cathy" is grossly unfair to Cathy.
Sorry I posted before I read all the comments.
Ah the unpleasing tones of Bill the Cat.
You missed a blah and a blabbity blah blah. You are forgiven.
T
Being a harpy is not the first step to beatification and her harp and wings, even in herr Popemiester Benedict's playbook.
And Miss Alaska, third runner-up
Yeah! Let's see that uppity Rev. Dr. King match that!
MLK: March to Washington
SP: Fancy pageant walkin'
She fails to mention she was beat out by walrus and a seal. They had more talent.
Yeah, the walrus had the pageant in the bag as soon as she opened her mouth and said, "koo-koo-cah-choo"
Palin: makes Bill Kristol feel funny
Kristol on King: "We won't make progress if we now have to endure a din of race talk that will do more to divide us than to unite us, and more to confuse than to clarify."
That was also akin to an assassination. I'm sure she deserved second place.
Own reality show.
Cancelled by the Lamestream Media! Sorta like character assassination.
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Preacher.
Sarah Louise Palin: Preachy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Preacher.
Sarah Louise Palin: Screecher.
Also, screechy.
Natalie Portman: Peachy
Natalie Portman: Swan-y
I bet she looks like a juicy peach down there, can't you see the fainthair and the elegant crease in the middle? I can.
Natalie Portman: Sexy Jewy
I dream of the day when all federal offices, post offices and banks are closed to celebrate Sarah Palin Day. Until then April Fool's Day will have to suffice.
No, let's make it another day. Rachel Maddow's birthday is April 1st. Let's give her Feb 29th, Leap Day.
How about February 31st? Sarah will feel deeply honored and we can all go about our lives again.
I nominate August 23rd, the day I got my hemorrhoid removed.
Noooooooo! April 1 is my birthday as well as Rachel's. I won't share it with that horrible excuse for a woman. No way, no how! I agree with post above, make it Leap Day!
Yeah, every other Leap Day, because we only want to do half the job.
I'm sorry y'all. I understand you wanting to protect your own birthdays and Rachel M.'s and the day you lost your hermorrhoid, etc. but i have to say that unilaterally declaring April Fools Day to be Sarah Palin day is just absolutely brilliant and we all need to work to get this out there and firmly established.
Besides, tons of people have the same birthday as Hitler* and they seem to get along fine.
(*Hitler Hitler, not Larouche Obama Hitler).
While it was clear this woman had no sense of shame, this is as disgusting a display of a wretched, all-consuming selfishness as anything I have seen.
MLK said, "Whatever your life's work is, do it well."
Success for Palin!
Clearly, he never met anyone whose life's work was quite like Sarah's.
Didn't they have worse back than, like McCarthy?
And did we expect anything less from our little Sarah? Let's face it, when it comes to shameless self promotion without a shred of class or grace, this girl's got it all!
Everything in the country, no, the world, revolves around her apparently.
Today we are all Sarah Palin.
Fuck. That. Shit.
Gah. Nightmares! Thanks, but no thanks.
Huh? I thought we were still all Xtine O'Donnell.
"Fuck me in the ass while I suck some cock."
If I have to be Sarah Palin, I might as well do the things she enjoys most.
Nah. She seems to like leading people on, but otherwise seems not to actually like sex. Or men, for that matter. They all seem to be limp and impotent, or child molesters.
I just don't understand how she acquired a reputation for being hot (looks or behavior-wise).
Everything looks more attractive standing next to John McCain.
this is good news for John McCain.
I'd prefer to be something with more usefulness, dignity, and intellectual stature, like a shit-eating intestinal bacterium.
I'd rather be a mens room attendant in an Indian restaurant than to be Palin, even for a day.
Guess its time to shave my 40 year old lady beard down there.
Good try Jack-Hoff. Next time you want to trick us into ruining MLK day with the harpy's voice, you have to have MLK on the YouTube still. I'm not touching that one.
Dr. King also believed in endless war and screaming about "socialism" as an accusation without knowing what it meant.
Oh wait, no; he was a pacifist and staunch opponent of the Vietnam war, and he knew what socialism was, recognized as the positive it actually is, and called himself a socialist.
And the people at the teabagger rallies are the political descendants of George Wallace and James Earl Ray and King would recognize them for the enemy they are.
- the socialist –
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
- the enemy of bigotry –
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
Amen.
and as a good Christian Dr. King actually read- and lived- what the Jesus said about loving your neighbor AND your enemies, something lost on REAL 'Merkan Xtains like $carah…unfortunately he probably woulda told us to love even these assholes, cuz the morons know not what they do…also
What's with the pretend Secret Service guys hanging around behind her? Or is she the preznit already?
But most importantly, what does Sarah Palin think about Dr. King?
You know those guys who drive around in surplus cop cars, wear cop-like clothes and hair, and always wanted to be cops but were rejected as applicants in the cop training programs because of the, umm … "interesting" results of their psychological tests?
There's probably a Secret Service version of that. And they are mostly fans of Sarah Palin.
Nothing more dangerous than an amateur in any profession. I'm a Professional Engineer, I am certified and insured to do things like build bridges, would you want to go with the guy who was really good at Lincoln Logs instead? Yeah, I thought so.
That your are an engineer explains everything to me, for once, in your posting style and ideology. lol Neither here nor there, but you can be maddening some times.
The guys hanging around are sarah's 'secret service." That's so she doesn't
get ass ass in ated.
The raincoats cut their teeth working for Joe Miller, so now they are kwalifried.
But enough about me, let's talk about you… what do YOU think about what I said about Dr. King?
same dudes who drank vodka out of each other's assholes in Afghanistan. they were demoted.
each other assholes? Oh, that's where the term "shooters" comes from. Makes sense,
Everyone should note, this is not a gay ritual, this is a a ritual of one of the species of "Bro" particularly the Military Bro, this species engages in hypermasculine bonding rituals that verge on homosexual snuff film territory. Do not provoke this very non-docile create in its native habitat of the Walmart sporting goods section, as it is prone to sudden violence that may result in sexual assault.
She hired the guy from the turkey farm.
those guys? that's her backup band, Blood and the Libels.
I do have audio. She said something about "pride in Velveeta equality." May have to listen once more.
I think she was referring to pride in the equality of all manufacturers and purveyors of pseudo-dairy-like products.
It was clearly a reference to "Blessed are the cheesemakers."
"What is all this fuss I hear about the Supreme Court decision on a "deaf" penalty? It's terrible! Deaf people have enough problems as it is!"
"That's death, Ms. Litella, not deaf … death."
"Oh, that's very different….Never mind."
Even 'Emily Litella' had more sense than Snowbilly Grifter. Sheesh.
The deaf penalty is

" I have 'vulval qualities' " is what I heard.
Yeah! Right! The Teabaggers just absolutely embrace racial equality. They're good and decent people that are forced to respond to the coloreds that don't know their place. An uppity Kenyan born evil muslin socialist Marxist Lennist Cuban wanna be communist colored stold that election! But nobody notices he's even colored.
Kudos to the speakerphone guy/unintentional jackass for making Sarah's statement almost inaudible.
Oh silly Jack. You forgot one important difference.
MLK Jr. is a martyr.
SP only thinks she is.
I'd up-fist you all day for that one.
One can only dream.
In religious circles, the difference is quite a bit smaller than one might hope.
Righteousness in the face of millions telling you that you are full of shit goes quite a long way. And, frankly, explains a lot.
Education
MLK: earned doctorate in theology, Boston University
SP: 68 credit hours, assorted community colleges, not fully transferable
Also negative Ebay rating from her prior employer; would not do business again
Edit: I stole this from Layne, of course.
MLK: Was a hard-ass worker.
SP: Is a hard ass-worker.
MLK: Was killed by a gun owner influenced by the vitriolic rhetoric of segregationists.
SP: Rides around on a bitchin' snow-machine shouting out second amendment bullshit at any pistol-packin' schizophrenic that will listen.
So she rides around on a snowmachine talkin' to herself? Figures.
Sure. MLK will be very proud with gun-toting, reindeer-shooting, halibut-clubbing, half-term-quitting-governor, progressive-bashing reality show star
I want to cross stitch what you just said on a plush pillow, thanks!
Martin Luther King: "I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood."
Sarah Palin: "T"
Real nice, SS. Now everyone at work thinks I'm crazy because I've got that laughing-with-no-sound-coming-out-except-for-the-occasional-squeak-and-snort thing going on.
WIN of the Day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0FiCxZKuv8
I call bullshit. Dr. King would have thrown "non-violence" out the window and given his wing-nut niece a public boxing of her ears that she would NEVER FORGET!
Speech making abilities
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Brought people to tears with his soaring oratory and words of wisdom and hope and faith.
Sarah Palin: Brings people to tears with her shrewish, harpy voice and display of utter stupidity that she's seems blissfully unaware of.
…"seems blissfully unaware of."
"Seems," madam? Nay, it is; I know not "seems." Excuse the slight correction, cause I do love your post Texan_Bulldog, but Sarah Palin doesn't "seem" blissfully unaware. She IS blissfully unaware. Oh, and did I mention she's an effing moran?
wow. lucky are those with violent, bloody diarrhea who get to be chained to the toilet and not have to hear the shrill cries of the ever-persecuted snowkunt.
Blessed are the Skeeze Haterz.
Look on the Bright Side of Life, indeed!
~
In honor of Dr. King, I'm not going to work, I'm going to watch several of his speeches, I'm going to have a few cocktails, and I'm NOT going to pay any attention to the stupidity coming out of every rightwing reactionary attention whore parading around babbling incoherent insanity.
And I'm going to get a new phone, because I dropped mine in a toilet last night. Oh first-generation Motorola Razor, you've been good to me, but it's time for your own Death Panel – and it is I.
Also.
I have done this very same thing twice (don't ask) and have successfully resurrected the phones in question by removing the battery and placing the whole soggy mess in front of a little space heater for several hours (not too close).
Another way to fix a phone that's been dunked is to take the battery out and submerge phone and battery in a big bowl of uncooked rice overnight. (Apparently, the type of rice doesn't matter, although most Americans only have "regular" white rice, not that fancy basmati stuff.)
And goodness knows Real Amurkins certainly wouldn't have any, you know, brown rice around.
Uncle Ben's FTW.
I love it when cocktail hour is noon.
I'm not a thumbs up whore but I'm sure I get a few for this.
CAN YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!!! Didn't Warhol say somthing about 15 min? Seriously put a cork in your stupidity. You know what the difference between a Pit Bull and You are Sarah???? THEY MAKE MUZZLES THAT FIT DOGS!!!! You do nothing but embarrass your self. At least my dog shuts the fuck up when I tell it to. Are you stupider than my dog?
I'm beginning to see a possible role here for Michael Vick. Before he was in the big house, of course.
baconz – they make muzzles that fit Sarah Palin, too. Just google 'erotic fetish play' or somesuch and you'll find many fine purveyors of same.
[excuse me while I go bleach my brain]
Its not $arah's fault.
her minions crave her ramblings and think they have a shot at fucking her.
like every swinging dick at FOX and Gretta also.
She's got what plants crave? She's Brawndo!
You even have to ASK that?? Thanks asshole.
Signed, Your Dog
That was out of bounds. I'd like to say sorry.
Lord Singen-Smith III Duke of Butt-Sniff….I'm deeply sorry I hurt your feelings. You're such a gooooooood doooooog…
Clearly the answer is yes.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s voice could make you weep, could stir you to action, could make you proud to breathe the same air as he did.
Sarah Palin's voice makes you wish she had never been born and makes you that the human race has no future.
My first thought upon seeing this post was, "What fresh shit is this?"
Not even fresh shit. Same old plie of moldy, dessicated dog shit. Or, as the kids say, same shit different day.
Thank you Dorothy Parker!
Wonkette: the interwebz answer to the Algonquin round table.
(Also, sing "What fresh shit is this?" to the tune of "What child is this?" It's blasphantastic!)
And Ms Parker said of "Going Rogue" "This is not a book that should be lightly tossed aside. It should be thrown with great force"
Somebody please make this harridan, this harpy, this self-aggrandizing troll go away.
It's been proposed before. But she's like that evil, black thing in 'Fifth Element': everything you launch at it, every bit of attention, only makes it stronger.
(why, yes, I did watch a lot of cable this weekend.)
By "go away", you mean with our votes not our surveyor's symbols, correct?
That's the prob, Bris was voted off the show and we still know her backyard is ugly as sin. Mama Griz ain't currently holdin' office, so you can't really make her go away.
I pray to Jah and "Bob" and Mother Mary that she DOES run for office. Not because I am an aural masochist (despite liking Mr. Bungle), but because it'll fuck up the flow on whoever's forerunning that bitch next year.
Oh good God, I really hope I'm not overestimating the intelligence of Republicans, here. Surely there's enough of them stupid enough to vote for Pig Lipstick, here, but certainly not a majority?
I may have to drink heavily until 2013.
Can't we set her adrift on an ice flow, can that be the ending to her hunting show?
i too watched without audio. I am struck by the level of eyeliner and black shadow.
If the eyes are the windows of the soul, Sarah's is as black as the ace of spades.
Yeah, she had the raccoon eyes thing going on heavy that day, evidently the makeup people didn't know that that look works for evening, not daytime. Under a streetlight, also.
Is she doing any public service today?
Obviously not, since her greatest public service would be to STFU.
Pie-hole shuttin'. Such as?
She's making a public statement! How much more public service do you want from her? Verily, her words are like gemstones, cast out into the world.
And leave Trig alone!
She thought the call today was for pubic service, so nine months from now, we can all celebrate the birth of Econoline Palin (named, of course, after Sarah's first car in high school).
I would thing a more likely pubic service would involve wax, although other cleaning solutions might be called for, plus some anti inflammatory topical creams, etc.
Why, running her giant, shrieking maw non-stop is the most noble service Sarah P. can offer, according to Sarah P.
Today, she's promising to never seek public office again, which would be the biggest public service she ever could perform.
She'd be doing a ton of public service by getting that freaking 'stash of hers waxed.
I have a dream today. It involves the former governor of Alaska and a strategically placed length of duct tape.
And a dynamite stick for a phallus?
(They found her vagina in South Carolina
And bits of her tits in Dallas)
What? It's a freakin' Limerick I stole, alright?
silence = golden
duct tape = silvery
And a couple of large black plastic bags and maybe one of those plastic freezers. Oh, and Dexter's "utensils" and boat.
Unfortunately, MLK Jr. only has one day of the year. We have to listen to THAT HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE VOICE THE OTHER 364, if only in our heads. May she fade from the political scene after the next election to be replaced by a minute of remembrance every All Fools Day. Or half a minute.
15 seconds
For those interested in such things, today is the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of another world historical black leader.
Patrice Lumumba July 2, 1925 – January 17, 1961
And the fiftieth anniversary of Ike's famous "military-industrial complex" speech. Just sayin'.
Taken down by Second Amendment remedies, courtesy of the US of A.
RIP Patrice.
Don't let Palin know or she'll try to steal his thunder as well.
Fun Alveda King facts: speaks out against gay rights and endorsed that champion of the poor, Steve Forbes in the 2000 republican primary. She's just like MLK!!!!!
Also strongly anti-abortion. The one time she ran for elected office, MLK's widow refused to endorse her. And like so many Republicans, she's been divorced three times. Family values!
Boy I'd bet she's as popular as a turd in the punchbowl at family reunions. The semen with any trace of intellect or decency must have bailed out on that e-mission.
Actually, she is more akin to James Earl Ray. . And she also wants you to know that the liberal media has blood libeled her in the assassination of MLK.
That cunt.
She can be effusive in her praise of a black guy that is no longer living.
Love your username.
Sorry Sarah, MLK was no fan of states' rights — a central Tea Party tenant.
Sorry Sarah, he also had an opinion about healthcare:
Sorry Sarah, your boyfriend Glenn Beck sez:
Ironic that he kept invoking King's name for the rally last year if King was such a socialist.
I think she's at some gun show, which explains the pasty-white guys in sunglasses around her. They could be tanned from serving in Iraq or Afghanistan right now and carrying GI-issue gear, but that's dangerous so they're looking tough at some gun show.
Nah, that was Becker's Rally to Let Everyone Know We Hate The Black Guy in the White House last August.
"I have a scheme" ≠ "I have a dream"
This.
You've got to go through the responses to her Face Book post re: MLK day…
"Darryl W*******: That is him and his people i am me and my people pro white just like they are pro black."
"Chris O*: Ghandi and mlk were just 2 of the idiots ever along with snobama"
"Kenneth *. F****: I reflect on what a communist he was. His name is really Michael King and he was never a real doctor. His legacy was one of hate for his people and everyone around him. The real truth needs to come out about his crimes and his heresy toward God."
"Patrick K*****: I'm going to turn this day into "Annoy The NAACP Day". Like the Governor of Maine said, "Tell them to kiss my butt". That was actually a nice thing for him to say, compared to the way I would have said it."
"Marissa N D**** S*****: While I fully understand the importance of Dr. King and his message, this day first and foremost reminds me that PC has taken our country into a choke hold. This day was always known as Robert E. Lee Day when I was growing up and now one is often called a racist for remembering that fact. I am also surprised and appalled at the amount of people I find who do not remember this at all."
These are just a few, you can go there now and probably see some fresh ones.
"probably see some fresh ones"
like fresh steaming piles??
Teatards aren't motivated by racism, no way, not any more than their rhetoric espouses and encourages violence. These vicious, violent attacks by the lamestream jew-liberal media are a blood libal against the teatards, and they will not stand for anyone tyrranizing their precious liberties, for the troops, and trig!
hmmm let me think about this…
no, no, i don't think i'm going to her facebook page.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone suggests "let's kill four more just like him and take a whole week off!"
Robert E. Lee day, funny. I hope Marissa knows that one of the last things Lee said was he wished he never received a military education.
But, seriously, what a bunch of piss-poor ignorant orcs.
Marissa, knowing that parts of the South used to call it Robert E. Lee day is not racist; what was racist is that it was done intentionally as a racist rebuttal to MLK day, and that having a day honoring that fuckfaced slave-owning traitor is inherently both racist and anti-American.
HA HA. "He was never a real doctor." Who needs comedians when we have such stoopids!
My mom talks like this since listening to Foxnews for 10 years. She used to be nice.
Marissa, SNL called, they have a satire writing position open.
Wait, you were serious?
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Nobel Peace Prize, national holiday, national monument.
Sarah Palin: Own reality show, canceled.
fixed
Sara, pour part of that 40 out on the corner for your "homie" MLK.
Word
As mayor of Halfricastan, you get a hood pass for that
They both have cross hairs in common.
Except one was in them and one was looking through them.
Subject, object, whatever. They're both nouns.
Since her messaging is in disarray, I'd suggest rebranding with a remix of John Edwards' "Two Americas" deal, that would play really well for her, could still be spun with her "us versus them" crowd, and transition her into more of a populist.
- FakeMaryMatalin
Are you sure that's fake?
Well, she has publicly stated that she is the living embodiment of Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and now, Martin Luther King. How charmingly humble, isn't she? Who will she compare herself to next? Joan of Arc? Napolean? Augustus Ceasar? Shakespeare? Jesus?
Shakespeare? check. http://alaskadispatch.com/blogs/palin-watch/6065-...
You can't blame me, she really is beyond parody. Make up whatever outrageous act you can imagine of what you would think is impossibly exxagerated stupidity combined with hubris, and you stand a very good chance she has already actually done it.
Who will she compare herself to next? Joan of Arc? Napolean? Augustus Ceasar? Shakespeare? Jesus?
All of them Katie!
(And I think she's already compared herself to Shakespeare – during the refudiation)
She has her crosshairs on "all of them."
All of 'em.
Don't forget Queen Esther.
How come she only compares herself to dead men?
So this doesn't happen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBtXfBdEXEs
We need to make a "Know nothing of my work" cartoon of all her claimed legacies, point by point, person by person.
Do not forget James Earl Ray.
I was thinking Cassandra would be most accurate.
Remember when she was just a gilf? Scouted by Bill Krystol, Picked up as a human shield by John McCain, she has become part of our National discourse a thousand times bigger than life.
Maine gov. who blasted critics changes MLK plans
Maine Gov. Paul LePage has changed his plans and attended a Martin Luther King Jr. Day breakfast just days after saying critics of his decision to skip other holiday weekend events could "kiss my butt."
LePage attended the breakfast in Waterville on Monday, just as he had done for several years as the city's mayor before being elected governor.
His appearance was scheduled after he responded Friday to critics of his decision not to attend the state NAACP's annual holiday celebrations.
Stay classy, Republicans.
From Le Wiki Page:
"LePage appointed his 22-year-old daughter, Lauren, as assistant to his chief of staff, an entry-level position with an annual salary of approximately $41,000, and
[...]
He has stated that the size of state government is likely too large and that he would probably seek to reduce the number of state employees."
Think somebody's PR people gave him a talkin' to?
MLK: I have been to the mountaintop…and I have seen the promised land.
Snowbilly Sarah: I can see Russia from my house.
This brings to death a new terror. To have your life's work appropriated by someone totally opposed to everything you lived for.
Tell that to Jesus.
Does that mean we should claim Reagan as our own?
Saturday night, another pageant winner yodeled her way to a second-place finish in the talent competition with puppets! Sarah just talks with a slight whistle, and can't win a Presidency.
Hey now that wasn't actually a bad performance, at least the lady from Arkansas has talent. Palin has the same shtick only in her case she shoves her hand up Beck and Hannity's asses while they whistel dixey with the joy of it; try and get THAT image out of your head now.
She can't even take today off from making sure someone is paying attention to her.
Well you know what they say, laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and will you please shut the fuck up and go back to the tundra now Palin you glorified bar slut, okay anyway.
Well, I guess someone stepped over the line to piss off the bar hag demographic.
Why should MLK get all the attention? He's dead, it's not like he needs it.
You loathesome, …I can't, there's just nothing left to describe her with.
They all look alike to Sarah.
Noticed her home Cable Channel, TLC (The Loonie Channel) had The Very Reverend Ted (I buy Meth, rent male prostitutes & shack up, but I'm not gay) Haggard's new show on last week: "Cornholing with Jesus". I didn't watch Ted or Sarah, or this clip for the same reason: I do not enjoy throwing up in my own mouth. BTW, how bad do you need money to work protection for this cunt? I worked for US PRESIDENTS I wouldn't take a bullet for (and said so) when I was on the job. Also, the fap meter goes off the chart in trailer parks all over the Country when this jizz sponge opens her piehole on the teevee, and she fucking well knows it.
I have blocked TLC on all the TV's in my house. Haggard and Palin should be jizz moppers at the adult theater and nothing more.
You know they would secretly love it, too.
Where was she? At Beck's Rally to Reinforce Every Dickish Thing You Fat Morans Think?
Sarah's down with MLK just so long as she doesn't have to get creeped out by attending college in Hawaii with a lot of asians
Or be around black people….so in other words she's down with MLK so long as she doesn't have to look at his speeches from videos, or listen to them and we all know what Mama Grizzly thinks about reading (see Idiocracy for more details); she likes the acronym, though.
I first thought this Post was a little catty until I looked at Sarah's MySpaceBook page, and saw the parade of dummies comparing Dr. King's message to the Tea Bagger's message.
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=49007426...
Those comments are infuriating, starting with what's currently the first one:
"Was a great man, but the modern day "Race-Hustlers" have used his legacy to advance. "Race-Baiting"!!!!! In addition, black revisionary historians have inflamed "Racial Issues" while combing the benevolent words of Dr. King in their rhetoric, which are almost completely and abjectly false!!!"
Ignoring that King was constantly accused of the equivalent of "race baiting" by these idiot's political ancestors.
I just read "Obama also quit on the people of Illinois…" Huh, he's not their President too?
My rage level peaked at the Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republiklan billboard.
"King was a thug…everyhone knows that he caused race riots!!!"
That one is nice too.
This was a good one, and somewhat representative comment: Sarah I believe in you not some pretend Dr and marter. We should Not have a natl day off to remember it
Speaking of Facebook, I just found out there's a I Hate It When I Wake Up And Sarah Palin Is Still Alive Facebook page.
Unfortunately, the page is nowhere near as funny as the name. Also, the graphic makes me cringe because it shows Palin holding a gun to her head. There is a disclaimer saying "This is a page about venting dislike over Sarah Palin. This is no way advocates an assassination of Sarah Palin in any way, shape or form." But I think the graphic destroys any possibility of humor. Dunno, maybe I shouldn't even think the page name is funny. I know I wouldn't think a similar page about Obama or another Dem was at all funny. Maybe I'm going soft.
Guns to people head are not funny to me. But hey, I live in South Los Angeles.
Plus this is the sort of thing the media uses for its "both sides are equally culpable" BS, ignoring the difference between the likes of a former Vice Presidential candidate and some dude on Facebook.
Right. And that was meant to read "guns to people's heads."
Does this mean that Dr. King is really Larry the Cable guy?
Needs moar crosshairs!
I listened. Why did I listen???? I am trying to stop smoking and remain calm today and this spiked my "sucks to not smoke" meter.
now that i think about it, la palin has more in common with martin luther:
1. used the vernacular to get famous.
2. had issues with the jews.
3. had issues with islam.
5. started a peasant uprising.
6. had a bunch of kids.
7. annoyed the crap out of the established authorities.
however sarah has never been declared an outlaw.
Still, I couldn't picture Martin Luther limiting his 95 Theses to 144-character tweets.
I think we should drop the Martin Luther comparisons before we wake up to find 95 turds nailed to the front door of the WH.
And part of what infuriated Luther was the graft and corruption embodied by such policies as indulgences, the kind of graft and corruption that is literally Palin's livelihood.
8. Decided that they had it right, and then got really really angry at anyone who refused to see the light.
She'd nail up the 6 theses, on her fence
8. Threaten opponents with violence.
This is almost too fucked up for words. I am old enough and liberal/radical/crazy enough to have marched with Martin Luther King for open housing in the Marquette Park neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago. That was when he was hit by a rock thrown from the insane crowds lining the streets. Scary stuff for me–for him it was what he did every day for years until he became too dangerous and was killed.
While this doesn't give me any greater stake in Martin Luther King's memory than anyone else it still is infuriating to see people who would have spat upon him, encouraged their followers to throw rocks and bottles at him and wished him dead–like Sarah Palin–to try to wrap their rotting political carcasses in his memory.
No snark just lots of loathing.

Now I'm going to voice my approval for your service in the way *my* generation serves – by thumbing on the internet.
Way to cake the mascara on like a trollop Sarah.
MLK always will have better, thicker eyelashes than you no matter what.
MLK Jr and his legacy are taught at more colleges than Sarah once attended.
That's a lot!
Now Glenn Beck joins in: http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/01/17/pledge-of-non...
Over four decades ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. led the Civil Rights Movement with a philosophy and pledge of nonviolence. In the wake of the tragedy in Arizona, Glenn put forth a similar call for nonviolence. Read both below and see the similarities:
Glenn Beck = Martin Luther King, Jr.
Funny, I don't recall ever seeing pictures of MLK dressed up in a Nazi uniform or George Washington costume.
I miss the time when teh crazies wore Napolean Bonaparte costumes. Made them easier to spot.
This is the same bullshit Beck has been peddling for awhile, where he equates Frances Fox Piven with the Hutaree militia, and also throws in this little gem, in the middle of all the calls for non-violence: "I denounce those who wish to tear down our system and rebuild it in their own image, whatever that image may be," an implicit reference to the "Democrat agenda."
Then he gets to do his Sarah Bernhardt routine when nobody will sign it.
I feel like we've truly entered Bizarro World today. The next thing you know some teabagger is going to say that they're honoring MLK because he was fighting for white rights.
But as long as Sarah Palin is safe, the Republic still stands!
Of course Martin Luther didn't write a forward for a known Jew bashing douchbag.
Martin Luther had no issues with Jew bashing, being a fan of doing it himself.
Martin Luther King on the other hand….
It was bad enough when this asshat tried to compare his Hoverrounds R Us Rally to the King Civil Rights Rally, and now this?
GB's List of Seven Made-Up or Paranoid Scenarios that are Denounced in Principle by a Former Morning Zoo Radio Host taps right into the sort of chest-thumping fantasy-making that his audience really eats up. It is basically a 250 word version of a pick-up truck using an airbrush motif to blame Muslims for 9/11, porn star references in lieu of trucknutz.
If anyone hears about a large fire in Atlanta today, I'm guessing that's the good Dr. King spinning so fast in his grave that sparks start flying out.
In honor of Dr.King I'll drink a coupla quarts of malt liquor, in honor or Saint Palin I'll make a contribution to singlepayeraction.org
Any fans of the TV series 'V' will probably agree that she is more akin to 'V leader Anna' than MLK. I picture the alien inside of the human skin. With the 'teeth' too, also.

Okay without being too peevish and assholish, why did I just now have to sign into wonkette twice now to comment? BLOOD LIBEL!
Anyway, after reading and fighting with Republican teabagger racist sheep fuckers about another MLK story on a site which shall remain nameless (you say its name in yodel form) I come here to have my faith in humanity restored and this is the headline story: mission accomplished. For headlines like this, content contained within and comments like these I love you wonkette, you filthy tempestuous and fickle whore and all you libtards of various shapes and colors (including ginger) not to mention Sara Benincasa's most awesome rackage and ability to abuse us all; we're not worthy, none of us (okay we are). On a related comment I just have two words for Mrs. Palin: Truck Nutz. That is all, also.
If Martin Luther King were alive today, he'd be out there marching with a sign that says Obama is the socialist nazi muslim antichrist from Kenya. Because that's what equality is all about: leveling baseless nasty attacks on people you don't agree with.
I don't have sound at work. Should I watch this when I get home or will I be driven to put a hammer through my monitor?S Why is this racist hateful harridan being given any venue to spout her "thoughts" on MLK. Surely there are other people more equipped to speak to Dr. King's legacy?.
If I am mistaken and it is a thoughtful, well-intentioned post, please let me know. I still won't watch it because I loathe her, but at least I won't have that feeling of maddening frustration.
All these people who actually think this woman should be president because she is like them seem completely unaware of the fact that THEY should not be president.
That was pure genius and shoud be repeated frequently.
I want a POTUS that pisses excellence and shits brilliance – and Snowcunt can't even speak either. Since she has become so adept at quitting, my only hope is the next thing she quits is breathing.
In the first Palin Administration, will Todd be Secretary of Defense or Secretary of Energy? Tough call! He loves gunz, but also has significant experience in the oil industry.
And in memory of the events in Tucson, let's remember that it was Arizona that had to be dragged kicking and screaming into acknowledging the MLK holiday. And they still haven't figured out Daylight Savings Time.
Hey, John McCain apologized for that already. In Memphis, for Christ's sake.
I'm sure he would do that again today, when he's not running for office anymore.
Todd "Mush Mouth" Palin also built the Chateau Palin over a few weekends "with a few of his buddies,", is a commercial fisherman, is a stay at home Dad, and is a world champion snow machine racer (hey, how 'bout that.)
Or as my SIL says, the bulk of America wouldn't vote for Palin just because they realize what a clown he is.
Don't blame us for the DST thing… I love not having to change my clocks, and I haven't heard a good reason for the stupid time change (other than extending an extra hour of daylight on Halloween so the fatty kids can beg for more solidified corn syrup.

I never noticed how much alike they really are.
How about this as a gesture of national unity.
Let's get every city in America to rename it's most dangerous and ill kept street "Sarah Palin Boulveard." It's a beautiful notion.
Franklin and I feel that, given Dr. King's documented attraction to white women, he would have given Governor Palin every opportunity to exchange . . . ideals (so to speak).
And what's wrong with miscegenation? I mean, look at our WONDERFUL half-white President!

Today, on MLK Day, the Fox Nation asks
"Ronald Reagan – more of a friend to blacks than Obama?"
The same Ronald Reagan who opposed the bill to make MLK Day a holiday, and only signed it because it had a veto-proof majority in both the House and Senate?
I like the "?". Faux news you reported and I decided….No, Reagan was not more of a friend to blacks. What clinched it for me was the whole CIA Crack thing in South Cent. LA.
Yep. Reagan dealt drugs. The CIA is still dealing drugs. thats how they fund their lifestyle and their dirty wars. they is loving some Afghanistan right now.
GAD I HATE THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
50 years since Ikes speech, FLOTUS birthday and MLK converge.

The CIA only deals drugs, weapons or what have you because President after President have let them.
Also that whole "welfare Cadillac" meme he started.
Now, now, be fair: he didn't start it. He just exploited it for all it was worth.
This bastard resents so much that Ron is the biological son. It's so obvious why he's trying to out-Reagan Ron. It's so very sad.
Reagan who launched the 'War on Welfare' which slashed anti-poverty measures in predominately black urban areas, forestalling the American dream for millions because of the color of their skin? That guy? That guy was a douche.

Martin Luther King came to Chicago to protest living conditions in predominantly black areas and to protest racial discrimination. He moved into the West Side ghetto in 1965.
After many months of demonstrations and conflict, the Democrat power structure in the city of Chicago, under the control of Mayor Richard J. Daley, agreed to address the issue.
Of course, the Democrats didn't do anything.
http://encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/1438...
Now, Chicago is the most segregated major city in the USA.
http://www.thechicago77.com/2009/01/chicago-is-am...
That's what the Democrat Party does to blacks.
Democrat Plantation.
Sorry, but a bigot who uses a racist phrase like "Democrat plantation" has no place of accusing the DemocratIC party of doing anything to black people.
Or a follower of serial liar and amateur video editor Little Andy Breitbart.
I'm confused. Is the troll saying that black people are stupid to keep voting Democratic at a rate of 90% or better? Because generalizing about the intellectual inferiority of another race would be RACIST.
Probably pretty simplistic to blame current segregation of Chicago only on Democrats and the Daley administration, and to base that on a three-paragraph entry in a general encyclopedic history. Particularly since the second link lists other causes (most notably redlining and steering, two practices that I'd bet cross party lines.) Those two practices point to much more deep-seated issues in this country with regard to race and how it has historically been used to unofficially segregate blacks and whites in ways that, unfortunately, few if any political policies can touch. But of course it's much easier to scream "Democrats are racist!" then to think deeply about issues.
Before attending to the beam in thy neighbor's eye, and so on.
Anyway, that's what I would say if I was responding to this troll. But someone that fucking stupid isn't worth the energy.
I'm glad you are not wee-wee'd up.
I usually read these posts to get a few good laughs. I had to comment on this line, "But of course it's much easier to scream "Democrats are racist!" then to think deeply about issues." You have the nerve to bash the Tea Party, Republicans, and Conservatives by labeling them racists, inbred, uneducated yet you are offended when the labels are shot back at you? You guys are the most hypocritical group of folks there is.__
Another GOPer trying to claim MLK as his own?
cliche`
Man do I wish it was something even that purposeful because then we could ask what ever happened to the liberal wing of the Republican Party that joined Democrats in pushing through civil rights legislation.
No, this is just some conservative tossing easily refuted right-wing talking points just for the sake of tossing them. We're supposed to assume that Chicago's inability to find a solution to segregation is indicative of a larger truth about the Democratic Party, ignoring the fact that at this same time in history LBJ was pushing through the Civil Rights Act and his Great Society programs, the last of the southern segregationists were migrating to the Republican Party, and MLK was cranking up his pursuit of social and economic justice for America's poor, a fight that was cut short when he was assassinated by a conservative southerner who'd been heavily influenced by George Wallace.
Not that he's claiming Republicans would have done anything differently if they had been in charge of Chicago, mind you. It's typical: Repubs don't have any ideas so they put their energy into trying to cut down ours.

Much as I hate to tell anyone how to be an ASSHOLE, I'm afraid I must in this instance.
This is supposed to be a humor site. It often is not. . . or rather, the posters in here often are not, save unintentionally. But that's the site's ethos.
So if you want stir up this "anthill," whether for the fun of it, psychotic rage, or some equally legitimate motive, you need to at least try to find some structure or mechanism consistent with the "rules," e.g., those expressed in Aristole's Poetics. Peripeteia is popular; mimesis is fine; and there's always opsis.
Now, look at what Impissopus does below:
"I'm confused. Is the troll saying that black people are stupid to keep voting Democratic at a rate of 90% or better? Because generalizing about the intellectual inferiority of another race would be RACIST."
Sure, Impissopus is a Communist Liberal Pinko SKUM. But there's structure there. At worst, that's a classic reductio; at best, he took your original idea and spun it back at you, re peripeteia.
Simply posting some RightWingNutz blather, without trying to connect it back to the original post or a comment, lacks any claim to artistry. Most of these boneheads are going to be offended if you say anything that violates the orthodoxy. But that's no excuse for rhetorical sloppiness.
To put it differently: Anyone can shoot a nine-year-old girl. The artiste, however, aims for the eye.

She didn't, did she? You're kidding, right? She didn't really say anything about herself and who supported her, did she? I always thought there was no limit to how long she would sink, but I guess some small part of me (the stupid part?) thought she did have limits. I'm not being snarky, I'm just aghast.

Sarah, Martin Luther King spent his life standing up for the downtrodden because he knew that a society is not equal when the wealthy few who control the power use it to enrich themselves at the expense of the multitudes who are kept in penury, servility and darkness. The only time you ever stood up to power was in Alaska while running for governor, and that was only to replace the hand on the reins with your own, not in the interests of providing more opportunity to anyone. It is a yawning chasm of difference, yet your inability to perceive it says more about your character than anything you've done in the few years since you've arrived on the scene.

I see we've got a few folks celebrating MLK day by trolling, as is their time-honored tradition.
As a child MLK was beaten regularly with a belt by his overbearing Dad. This accords with Sarah Palin's upbringing as well, except her Dad used the buckle…
It's an insult to Dr King's legacy to even make jokes about Sarah Palin's misappropriation of said legacy.

Hey, Sarah Palin and MLK, huh? Oh, yeah, they agreed on so much. Remember back at Glenn Beck's rally, when Sarah Palin stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial and said that “our men and women in uniform” are always “a force for good in this country, and that is nothing to apologize for”? As I said at the old-format Wonkette at the time, I'm not entirely sure that she was channeling the man with 100% accuracy:
“For it occurs to me that what we are submitting [our troops] to in Vietnam is not simply the brutalizing process that goes on in any war where armies face each other and seek to destroy. We are adding cynicism to the process of death, for they must know after a short period there that none of the things we claim to be fighting for are really involved. Before long they must know that their government has sent them into a struggle among Vietnamese, and the more sophisticated surely realize that we are on the side of the wealthy, and the secure, while we create a hell for the poor.
Somehow this madness must cease. We must stop now.” –Martin Luther King, “Beyond Vietnam — A Time to Break Silence”
It’s almost as if he willingly refused to follow Sarah’s script, huh?
“In order to atone for our sins and errors in Vietnam, we should take the initiative in bringing a halt to this tragic war.”
Almost sounds like he thought we had something to, you know, apologize for.
For Sarah her response truth is the homophone for My Lai.
The absolute shame of that speech is you can replace "Vietnam" with "Iraq" and it fits perfectly in every sense.
A sadly correct synopsis.
Well, except for the part about "they must know that their government has sent them into a struggle among Vietnamese." The ethnic cleansing / civil war in Iraq was mostly unleashed AFTER we "freed" them.
Yay, us.
So, who's Charlie, the Sunni or the Shiite? I get a confuse when we kill them all.

The Palin/Hannity interview about the Arizona shooting is now on the internet: http://gtcha.me/fW3Qt6
That's a tape, let me know when it's transcribed. I can't listen to her speak.
That doesn't even work. Her subtexts give me the nails on the chalk board chills even when I mute the teevee. I think it is because I know someone, somewhere is being subjected to that shrill.
Go away, you fucking blogwhore. I'd almost rather have a decent honest troll here.

Dr. King would not be proud of you, Sarah. He would vomit in his hat upon mention of your name. By the way, the hideous amount of stress you were going through pretending to respect his legacy was evident on your face. Oh yeah, I hope you die in jail.
MLK: urban
SP: rural
better late than never…
"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 cocktail shaker!"
Her ghost speech writer told her it was MLK Day.
What she heard was "Its da King's birthday.
Can you all even imagine how deftly MLK, Jr. would deconstruct Sarah's bullshit if he was alive, today? It'd be a thing of beauty. He would kill her with kindness, but, yeah, generally still pretty much destroy her.
For the love of god, Jack, Ken, ANYONE, could you please drop the banhammer, already? These trolls are prolific and distracting, seeming to infect EVERY thread, now.
They seem to be insecure, all is not right with their queen. They wander pointlessly through the threads here like confused ants sensing that the bloated thing at the center of their universe has damaged itself. The "Roosevelt" troll seems to be the new Neilist, no?
They'll erect a new golden calf in the name of Jesus once this one falls.
Those who demand tolerance
and respect for diversity
the most
rarely exhibit the traits

Come to think of it, Carimooseobarbie and the late great doctor are a lot alike, except for the nose, the eyes, the hair, the skin color, the belief in real equality and the ability to speak in complete sentences. The next coherent thought to come from the mouth of the Alaskunt will be the first. Flail away, there, honey bunny.
Actually, I'm pretty sure Dr. King would have been opposed to his crazy niece Velveeta attempting to define his legacy as conservative and on par with conservative ideology– so who gives a shit that she attended your embarrassment of a rally? Like her mere presence lends you and your ilk some kind of cred. Go fuck yourself, Sarah.
Damn late to this, almost missed my opportunity to post:
"cunt."
Whew.
I thought Jews and Hobos were the ones usually found in the freight trains.
I think both can talk, I'm increasingly certain she could queef speak better than the blather from her top head.
Women's liberation movement for the win.
