Conservative columnist: Sarah Palin is ‘a joke’

[Mons Venus]

Sunday, November 15th, 2009
 

Conservative columnist David Brooks just went public again with his criticisms of Sarah Palin. "She's a joke. I can't take her seriously," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

The question other members of the press are asking is whether this time around he will he codify his statements in print at The New York Times.

A month before last year's presidential election Brooks admitted to a forum in Manhattan that Palin was "not even close" to qualified for higher office. However, he failed to reveal the opinion in multiple columns after the comment. At the time, he was called "frighteningly dishonest" by Editor & Publisher's Greg Mitchell, who suggested he should debate himself on PBS.

There was little debate, however, on This Week Sunday. The other conservative on the panel with Brooks, George Will, isn't buying into the Palin frenzy either.

Will said he thinks Republicans can do better. "Some conservatives think they have found in Sarah Palin a Republican William Jennings Bryan," he said. "Now, why would they want someone who lost the presidency three times?"

Sarah Palin's 'rogue' Christianity

In her new book Sarah Palin writes that one summer at Bible Camp she "put my life in my creator's hands and trust Him as I sought my life's path." For Palin, this grand divine plan was "a natural progression." She writes. And later, "I don't believe in coincidences."

Which leads me to ask:

What does she believe is God's plan for her? Does she have any free will or is everything preordained. Can she see something coming and change her mind despite God's plans for her?

Did God plan for her to become Governor of Alaska. If so, did God plan for her to step down. Did God plan for her to run for Vice President? If so why did she and McCain lose?

Did God plan for her to have a child with Down's Syndrome? If so why did she consider an abortion? Did God plan for her to have a huge wardrobe? Then why did she apologize for it?

Did God plan for her to do the Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson interviews and be humiliated by them. Did God plan for her to allow herself to be forced, against her will to do those interviews? If so then why complain?

Did God plan for her daughter Bristol to get pregnant while she was a teenager? Why was she then not thrilled. Did God plan for Bristol to get engaged and then break up, only to be left a single mother, dropping out of school?

Did God plan for Levi Johnson to be the father of her grandchild? Did God plan for Levi Johnson, who she now calls Ricky Hollywood, to pose nude for Playgirl and go into "porn" as she told Oprah. If so, why does she find it heartbreaking?

I find it all very confusing.

Certainly Palin could say that God planned for her to publish a book that would be a huge, bestseller, go on Oprah, and make an enormous amount of money. Why would God choose her? Why would God look at the suffering around the world of so many millions and say, Sarah, I'm going to give you all of this.

Perhaps God wants more out of Sarah Palin.

You would think that God would ask of her to live her life as an example to others of a compassionate loving, caring person. One of the most powerful examples of God's love in the Bible is that of forgiveness. Turning the other cheek. But Palin's book is a screed against everyone who ever done her wrong.

She is angry at the campaign staffer for "forcing her to do things she didn't want to do", she is angry at the media for asking her questions she couldn't answer. She is angry at the father of her grandson for being a foolish teenager. She has used this book and all of her Christian charity to do nothing but settle scores. She names names and calls 'em like she see 'em. And she doesn't see 'em the way God might. They are all of his children.

(By the way, in her book Palin writes about, how, during the campaign, she took a call from Pastor Rick Warren when she was showering and that he offered to pray with her."I said, absolutely! Pray away! I would never turn down prayer even with limited hours in a campaign day, standing in a few inches of water with a shower curtain for a wardrobe. You do what you've got to do." I know Pastor Rick. He is one of the world's great guys. He not only talks the talk, he walks the walk. His book, "A Purpose Driven Life" has sold more books in English than any other book in history except for the Bible. He and his wife tithe 90% of everything they make to the church. Their lives are devoted to helping other people who are less fortunate than they are. The opening line of his book may be one of the greatest opening lines ever. It is: "it's not about you." It is unthinkable that Rick Warren would write an angry book, out to settle scores and pay back slights. Perhaps Sarah Palin could learn a lesson from Pastor Rick.)

Why would she not simply write a book describing her life as full of blessings as they are, forgiving those who caused her pain or discomfort and show God the gratitude she owes him for everything he has bestowed upon her.

But maybe that wasn't God's plan for her. Maybe he decided that he would have her stray from the basic tenets of her religions beliefs. The dictionary defines "rogue' as "an individual varying markedly from the standard."

The standard for Palin's God and faith is love, generosity, mercy and forgiveness. Perhaps that's what she means when she says she is "Going Rogue."

She has been subjected to the ugliest smear campaign I have ever seen in my lifetime. 

There is absoltely no reason why the leftist scum did what they did to her. 

Good for her in her successes and I hope whatever she does she steamrolls these "men" like frum, brooks, obama, and the rest of the panzies who are men in name only.

One of the most assanine articles Ive ever read.In the book there is about 12 pages out of 400 that is devoted to clearing up the picture of the campaign.This filthy lib who wrote this piece HAS NOT read the book,he listens to other libs talk about it who have not read it and then comes to conclusions.Incredible.

Now Barack Obama claims to be a Christian and used his faith to sit in a church and listen to the rantings of a racist lunatic.I doubt the author of this article has looked into Obamas faith even once.Obama uses his "faith" to even the score on whites and America and those that have done well here.This is typical left wing garbage.

have you read the book?

[BM OUT]

I have not read the book,but I dont sit there and say "the book says this" or "this is what the book says".Its over 400 pages with 12 according to those THAT HAVE read it devoted to defending herself.

Now,care to comment on Obamas perverted Christianity?I doubt it.

[Soul Crusher]

have you read the book?

I got it yesterday and just started it.  Its 400 pages so I need a few days to finish it.

Okay. 

I got it yesterday and just started it.  Its 400 pages so I need a few days to finish it.   

I've heard on all 3 networks that she "sets the record straight" for the majority of the book.

I'd like to see what % of this book is about talking shit and settle scores, explaining the past... and what % is dedicated to FUTURE thinking and issues.

It sounds like way more than 12 pages of old shit, as Billy mentions.

SarahPAC scrubbed site to ward off pro-life critics

After a report on Tuesday indicated that a pro-life group was planning to protest Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor's political action committee did its best to muffle the damage. But unlike Vegas — where secrets can often stay secret — whatever is scrubbed from the Internet does not remain scrubbed from the Internet.

Mother Jones's Stephanie Mencimer reported Tuesday,

For the Denver-based American Right to Life, when it comes to abortion, Palin is as impure as any godless feminist. “[H]er words and actions prove that she is officially pro-choice and stands against the God-given right to life of the unborn,” they write in a new report. ARTL members plan to educate reporters about Palin’s many alleged failings as a true believer, particularly her March nomination of a former Planned Parenthood board member to the Alaska Supreme Court and her refusal to call for a ban on the morning-after pill.
"Apparently ARTL has hit a nerve with the Palin campaign," Mencimer reports Wednesday. "Less than 24 hours after the group posted the report, Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, scrubbed its website of any mention of the court appointment. (Palin had issued a news release about it earlier this year.)"

Mencimer adds, "Fortunately, ARTL cached the web page and it's now available for the ages here."
