Palin Cult Followers Wander Iowa Awaiting Signs From Mama Grizzly

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson  10:37 am July 6, 2011

give us a sign!In the absence of Sarah Palin saying anything about whether she will run for president, her followers are walking around the Iowa cornfields as un-anointed apostles canvasing for their mysteriously quiet snowbilly messiah and waiting for her sign. What else has anyone even got to do these days, except wait for signals from space monsters? Nothing, except quit life to go shake hands with every person in Iowa to tell them all about the celestial love of Sarah Palin. It’s a hard job — they do not even have bicycles, like those Mormons — but someone must toil and spend money to lay Iowa groundwork for Sarah Palin if she refuses to do it herself.

RealClearPolitics reports:

[Palin supporter Peter] Singleton, who is not independently wealthy, says he is making a significant financial sacrifice by volunteering almost all his time to a campaign that does not yet exist — and may never. That uncertainty raises one delicate question: If Palin has already decided against a White House bid, as many political observers have concluded, is it callous of her to tacitly encourage Singleton, McCormick and the untold number of other supporters to continue setting the stage for her?

Last Tuesday in Pella, Palin had an opportunity to signal to those devoted volunteers to pack up and go home when asked by this reporter what she thought about their efforts. Surrounded by a crush of supporters and journalists on her way into the cookout, Palin instead replied that she “greatly appreciated” the efforts of volunteer organizers, especially because of their willingness to support someone who is “untraditional” and “not a part of the Republican establishment.”

This encouragement is certain to inspire them to redouble their efforts going forward.

Yeah, keep your efforts going, the Rapture is on its way or whatever happens when Sarah Palin actually decides to run for president. [RealClearPolitics]

If those acolytes have that much time on their hands, I'd like them to know that I have some ironing that needs to be done.

Maman July 6, 2011 at 11:05 am

Do you think they would clean my baseboards?

OC_Surf_Serf July 6, 2011 at 11:08 am

With the size of the glass house she and her family lives in, youda thunk they at least do windows…

Terry July 6, 2011 at 11:09 am

I hear that there are some peaches that need picking in Georgia, too.

tessiee July 6, 2011 at 11:58 am

"I have some ironing that needs to be done"

I don't know if I'd trust anybody that stupid with a hot iron.

Thurman Munster IV July 6, 2011 at 10:41 am

Mama grizzly sign? Brown and about 8" in diameter. If it's steaming, get the hell out of there.

V572 [SSAN] July 6, 2011 at 11:02 am

You weren't wearing your bear bells? Then you deserve whatever happens to you.

Monsieur_Grumpe July 6, 2011 at 11:17 am

Bear bells? Is that some new off spin of Truck Nutz?

Sparky_McGruff July 6, 2011 at 11:42 am

It's an old joke… It goes something like this…

The forest rangers are advising hikers and campers to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.

They advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. They also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear.

Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear poop. Black bear poop is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear poop has little bells in it and smells like pepper.

V572 [SSAN] July 6, 2011 at 11:51 am

You might enjoy Coming into the Country,John McPhee’s wonderful book about Alaska, wherein he describes how he, a self-proclaimed liberal and non-gun-owner, gives serious consideration to taking a pistol with him on a hike through the woods where he’s likely to encounter grizzlies. Bear bells are the alternative.

tessiee July 6, 2011 at 11:59 am

I really liked "A Walk in the Woods", travel writer Bill Bryson's recounting of how he and another middle-aged, out of shape friend hiked the Appalachian Trail. Bears figure into the story, albeit peripherally.

Thurman Munster IV July 6, 2011 at 12:12 pm

Of course, the only use a pistol would serve in a grizzly encounter is to quickly shoot yourself to avoid a long, painful mauling. Those fuckers' foreheads are sloped and a small caliber bullet would merely graze off the bear's head and piss him/her off. But, if you're traveling with a companion, good running shoes are a must. They help you outrun the companion.

hagajim July 6, 2011 at 10:42 am

This bitch can find a way to get in the news without even doing anything…amazing. However, I am encouraged by the thought of Palin zombies roaming the cornfields of Iowa moaning Sarah, Sarah, Sarah…

Dudleydidwrong July 6, 2011 at 11:33 am

Makes "Night of the Living Dead" look like a children's cartoon. "Vote for Sarah…Vote for Sarah…Vote for Sarah…" as Iowans grab their shotguns and pitchforks. I suggest napalm.

Palin zombies won't be looking for brains, that's for sure. Never had 'em while alive, why would they need them when undead?

tessiee July 6, 2011 at 4:27 pm

Because they're super tasty, especially when washed down with a 2-liter diet soda.

Well, when the "God is coming back in May" thing didn't pan out, the idiots had to find something else useless to do.

FNMA July 6, 2011 at 10:42 am

You know, telling the story about a grifter from the point of view of the grifted is in bad taste. You could call it "grift libel," if you were so inclined.

Tundra Grifter July 6, 2011 at 11:02 am

Grifters grift.

You can't explain it.

bagofmice July 6, 2011 at 11:17 am

Grift goes in, cash comes out. You can't explain it.

Because you're being grifted.

These people missed out on the Hale-Bopp movement. A Palin presidential run is the craziest thing to come along since, and they're not going to be left out this time.

First, the followers of Marshall Applewhite had themselves castrated. Then some poison mixed with pudding (or apple sauce) and "See you on the ship!" Crazy, but more humane than the Palin-bots.

Nothingisamiss July 6, 2011 at 6:48 pm

BaldarTFlagass July 6, 2011 at 10:44 am

is it callous of her to tacitly encourage Singleton, McCormick and the untold number of other supporters to continue setting the stage for her?

It's not callous of Sarah, for she is totally devoid of normal, human traits. Just another day at the office.

Terry July 6, 2011 at 11:11 am

As long as they are bolstering her already inflated ego, they're doing their job.

Lascauxcaveman July 6, 2011 at 12:39 pm

Don't for get the regular mailing of checks to "SarahPAC." That's probably the most important part of the job description.

Terry July 6, 2011 at 12:44 pm

A bird's gotta fly, a fish's gotta swim, and a grifter's gotta grift.

Barrelhse July 6, 2011 at 11:49 am

Not to mention the fact that these morons are too stupid to care about anyway.

Mahousu July 6, 2011 at 11:50 am

Please don't say "office." It reminds her too much of "work," and well, work and Sarah don't have a long-term relationship.

ChessieNefercat July 6, 2011 at 12:21 pm

Is it callous of Sarah? Maybe, but I have no sympathy for her cult followers. A more vicious pack of hateful, self-deluded morons could scarcely be imagined. Send Palin all your money, dolts. You'll have less left to send to marginally more viable candidates.

AJWjr. July 6, 2011 at 1:49 pm

Blaming her is akin to blaming RJ Reynolds for selling cigs. It's who they are, it's what they do.

Oh, wait–we do blame them, don't we?

Dashboard_Jesus July 6, 2011 at 11:06 pm

'It's who they are, it's what they do'

for years that's been my standard answer for trying to explain ANYTHING these Repiglickin morons do/ say…it's useless and a waste of time trying to come up with any rational thought behind their insanity…and 'self-deluded' is a pretty accurate description also, too

finallyhappy July 6, 2011 at 4:34 pm

They are too stupid to even worry about- really ,anyone who would vote for her is a moron- someone who would campaign for her????

skoalrebel July 6, 2011 at 10:46 am

I think my campaign has more to offer to the "untraditional" voters who are not part of the LameStream Republican establishment [spit]. Forget the whole Going Rouge thing. I'm looking for the support of voters who are ready for Goin' Rebel.

horsedreamer_1 July 6, 2011 at 10:57 am

Going Rouge?

Transvestism?

SorosBot July 6, 2011 at 10:46 am

Wait, Palin might be acting callous, and ripping off her supporters? But that's impossible considering how she's proven time and time again that she does not have a conscience and has been ripping her supporters off constantly ever since losing the Vice Presidency (and ripping off other people, like the RNC and the citizens of Alaska, before that)!

CapeClod July 6, 2011 at 11:42 am

People who are in an emotionally abusive relationship are the last ones to comprehend how badly they are being treated.

Boredw/Gravitas July 6, 2011 at 10:46 am

She should just quit now and avoid the rush.

Biel_ze_Bubba July 6, 2011 at 3:19 pm

When you consider that the more word salad she spews, the fewer votes she's likely to get, this "I might be running" schtick makes perfect sense. Her best bet is to announce her candidacy at the last possible moment, and let the 'baggers flock to her in relief — she'll look like Joan of Arc riding to their rescue. With luck, they'll cast their votes before the actual (non-Faux) press exposes the fact that she's still an idiot.

Larry McAwful July 6, 2011 at 10:47 am

"If not Palin, who?"
"I understand Godot might run."
"Has he filed yet?"
"Not yet, but he will. He'll file."
"When? When will he file?"
"Soon. Godot will file. Godot will run."
"But when?"
"Soon. He will run. We should wait."

Soooo, have them build a stage in the middle of a cornfield. Then she will come. Along with a horde of motorcycles, buses, Trig/Tripp/Trap/Track, wine coolers and lunkhead failed hockey heroes. And the bank will foreclose on the farm she invades anyway, because you know, reality.

Used to read a story to the kids, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" and that was the sound the goats made when they walked across the bridge: Trig/Tripp/Trap/Track, Trig/Tripp/Trap/Track, which always caused the troll to come out from under the bridge and harass the hell out of the goats. Answers two questions:
1. Where did Palin get the names for her kids
2. What makes trolls appear

Geminisunmars July 6, 2011 at 12:10 pm

Now you did it. You just summoned whatever-his-name-is-now.

Dudleydidwrong July 6, 2011 at 1:02 pm

I thought that to summon whatever-his-name-is-now you had to draw a pentangle on the floor and recite the Lord's Prayer backward while fapping over a picture of Snowgrifter. Maybe that's too complicated…

Geminisunmars July 6, 2011 at 1:25 pm

No – that's how to keep him occupied and away from trolling.

"Where did Palin get the names for her kids"

She and Peggy Hill sit down with a Boggle set, then Palin randomly adds two more letters to the prefix "Tr__".

And then the farmer, played by Mel Gibson, will hit her with a baseball bat and throw a bucket of water over her, causing her to disintegrate, because she's an alien.

Right?
Cause that's how it happened in the movie.

I believe it was Children of the Corn II that had my very favorite scene: Micah, I think it was, had a carved wooden figure and a pocket knife and it worked like a voodoo doll. They were at church and Micah stabbed the figure in the nose and a guy in the congregation got a nose bleed that just wouldn't stop, his wife kept handing him tissues, and ultimately he died of exsanguination. I have a pocket knife, anybody have the woodcarving skills to make a Palin effigy?

Aren't there Palin bobble heads available on eBay or somewhere?

"anybody have the woodcarving skills to make a Palin effigy?"

Logically impossible:
a. Her head is already hollow and wooden,

Grifter-in-Chief knows best: the day she announces she is not running, the dollars will stop coming in. So her best bet is to make no announcement at all and hope this will trigger speculations of a possible 2016 run.

Go for it, you silly bitch. But don't be surprised if the SarahGriftPac donations start to drop off well before then.

tessiee July 6, 2011 at 12:36 pm

"She should be quite the hag by then and her vicious inside should have completely taken over her outside by then"

There's a certain segment of the male population (none of the guys here, I hasten to add) who resent women whom they don't find attractive, as though it were deliberate and a personal attack on them. I must admit to a certain schaedenfreude-tastic anticipation of the day Silly Sarah ages out of being fapping material, and her supporters turn on her with baffled resentment.

mog253 July 6, 2011 at 12:50 pm

With all that money it will never happen, she won't age, she'll youthen. What would your life be without chemicals?

She knows that 80% of her power comes from her looks (with 19% from dissing that black guy and 1% for her "knowledge"). She will harness all that technology offers to remain *ahem* news-worthy.

As a result she is now spending money she doesn't have on a campaign which doesn't exist. It's one thing to get a few morans to buy a book (even if they don't know how to use one) but this has gotten to the point now that there are real victims out there. And Sarah? She don't give a fuck. It's all about the dollars. It's always about the fucking dollars.

This is like a game of "count the signs" on the long trip that is the life of some dumbass in Iowa.

You know, in the prehistoric days that these people don't believe in, they would have eliminated themselves from the gene pool by wandering off a cliff, or eating the no-no berries or something.

Nowadays, the descendents of the really stupid cavemen are helping evolution, which they *also* don't believe in, by wasting their finite amounts of time and energy, and bankrupting themselves, for the benefit of a sociopath who cares absolutely nothing about them, or about anything but herself.

The methods may change, but the herd has a way of thinning itself out.

My heart actually goes out to those who so want to be understood and included and listened to that they gravitate towards Lou Sarah in the mistaken belief that she cares about and speaks for them. Her very incoherence is her best credential among people who feel talked down to. It is a mistake to say "ha, ha, they're all so stupid, not like me!" These are the We the People that populist progressives seem to have lost touch with and handed over to to the GOP and its outliers in the Tea Party. Sorry, all the self-satisfied snark sometimes just saddens me. Snark is funny, but the joke is on those of us who watched in wonder as within a generation liberal has become a feared epithet and denounced as the enemy of the very people that would benefit from its precepts and policy goals.
Wow. Sorry to go off. What I meant is Sarah = poo poo.

Peter Singleton is the living example of what P.T. Barnum was taking about.

GOPCrusher July 6, 2011 at 1:46 pm

"is it callous of her to tacitly encourage Singleton, McCormick and the untold number of other supporters to continue setting the stage for her?"

Perhaps. But does anyone honestly believe that she would run the risk of someone not paying attention to her?
This woman has proven beyond a shadow of doubt since she first took the stage in Minneapolis, there is one thing and one thing only she wants, to be the center of attention. And she's even willing to sacrifice her own family to achieve that goal.

ChessieNefercat July 6, 2011 at 5:55 pm

Oh, so true. Attention seeking narcissist beyond belief.

Redhead July 6, 2011 at 1:58 pm

"is it callous of her to tacitly encourage Singleton, McCormick and the untold number of other supporters to continue setting the stage for her?"

Of course it's callous. But will she tell them to stop doing things that get her attention? Never.

And money. Don't forget the money.

Hee. Palin's open yap in the picture is directly opposite tacky, braggy, Kortney and her giant cucumber. Not sure what it means, but it seems to be so appropriate for Palin.

lulzmonger July 6, 2011 at 4:09 pm

If she can do for 2012 what she's done for special elections, I can only repeat: RUN SARAH RUN!

SPOILER ALERT:

She won't run. More work & a massive pay-cut?
'BAGGER PLEASE.

You know, this *is* the best month Iowa. The weather is warm and sunny, the corn is knee-high. The Palinists could join the RAGBRAI bike tour, or stage their own.

Imagine this in December or January, when the high temperatures are -20, with high winds and a chance of ferocious blizzards!

Beck_is_Trig July 6, 2011 at 10:36 pm

You know, I used to think Palinites were merely sad for having such professed allegience to an obvious media whore looking to exploit them for cash (which they paid…A LOT OF MONEY, oh and we can't raise taxes in a weak economy yadda…yadda), but I've come full circle and they're now pathetic. If these guys have such empty lives that they'd be willing to spend hours every day that could be spent doing other, more productive things (even masturbating to their snowbilly in a bathing suit cutout is more productive) it's time to re-evaluate. This sort of reminds me of the Simpson's episode where the meteor is due to arrive and Comic Book Guy sits and evaluates his entire wasted life of doing nothing but collecting comics, then concludes "life well spent!"…these people aren't doing this because they're victims of a grifter (a stupid one at that) they're doing it because they want to…at this point, nearing the end of the "Great American Shakedown" that is Palin's post '08 existence this story is truly and absolutely pathetic.

She has waited so long to get into this, that she has lost all of the horndog retard vote to Michelle. Her staff simply has to come up with a new campaign slogan. I'm suggesting: "PALIN: THE OTHER BATSHIT"

You know, I really hope that some enterprising journalist/blogger follows this money trail all the way through. Sarah and her team have a well-known history of "astroturfing" so I wouldn't be horribly surprised if the money for this "grassroots" efforts was coming from the PAC. She's got to keep the possibility that she's running dangling because that's the most effective way of getting the roobs to finance her lifestyle. This "grassroots" effort might also "inspire" her to declare, run a short half-hearted campaign, and quit to return to the regular grifting.

If it's not SarahPac money, it might be Koch or Murdoch money. Gotta keep those page views coming.

I like his books. He's so curious about just about everything.

When I lived in Alaska in the early 80's, bear bells were standard equipment. But the recommended firearm for wandering the back country was a shotgun. If a bear did charge, a blast to the face was supposed to solve the problem.
Saw a lot of bears, some at uncomfortably close range, but never had to test the theory.

Don't run up hill, they are very fast that way,

Run down hill, that is harder for them, plus when you get to the cliff, you won't be able to stop.

Oh no, my dad used them not bad if you don't mind your windows being painted the same color as your car.

tessiee July 6, 2011 at 4:39 pm

A) Yes, I remember Earl Scheib, although I don't know whether they're still in business;
B) Screechy Sarah may be rich, but she's still as dumb as a stone boat. She'll do what most stupid people do when they luck into an assload of money — spend it stupidly (see also SPEARS, Britney). Look for Sarah to appear on awfulplasticsurgery.com or whatever that website is in about two years.

ChessieNefercat July 6, 2011 at 5:39 pm

Stone boat, you say?!

Edit: back to the subject; yep, Snowbilly and L'il Grifter are both dumb as pigshit and likely to be mother/daughter stars of the awful plastic surgery site. Heh-heh.

"I think my point still stands."

Yes. Yes, it does.

Well, everything except the African baby! She'll just talk a lot about how other people should adopt little African babies.
