She’s baaack and as clueless as ever!
The Raw Story
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney should “go rogue” and attack President Barack Obama for his former associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Marxists and radicals.
During an interview on Fox News on Monday, host Sean Hannity told Palin that he thought the president’s former pastor was “relevant” even though Romney had repudiated a proposal to use Wright in attack ads.
The half-term Alaska governor replied: “I thought so in 2008 and that’s why I went rogue, if you will, and disagreed with some of John McCain’s advisers when they said, no, a lot of these issues like past associations and Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers and those that helped shape Obama’s world view needed to be off the table and not discussed. I disagreed then, I disagree now.”
“Barack Obama in 2008 was an empty vessel,” she continued. “The public did not know who or what filled this vessel in order to create what has become a very confused and mission and visionless leader for our country. Well, now it’s not too late to change course and this next go around understand what has filled up that vessel. Who are these people? Who are the radicals, the Marxist professors that he said he would hang out with, some of his friends and associations.”
Hannity noted that Democrats and the media were willing to bring up Romney’s alleged 1965 gay bullying incident, putting a dog on his car roof, the so-called war on women and “throwing granny over the cliff” by privatizing Medicare — but Republicans were refusing employ the same type of tactics.
“Amen, brother,” Palin agreed. “A one-sided, cease-fire call is not something to agree to. Some of these GOP operatives, Sean, they seem to have the fighting instinct of [Sesame Street character] Mr. Snuffleupagus. And if you remember him, he would hide, he would back down, he would run the other direction.”
“It’s disgusting, the double standard,” she added. “And I’m really tired of, again, too many in the GOP establishment just kind of kowtowing to what the left will dictate in terms of how this election is going to go.”
Palin also reiterated her advice that Romney pick tea party favorite Rep. Allen West (R-FL) as his vice presidential running mate.
“I love people who understand the Constitution and will fight tooth and nail and are willing to put their lives and their families lives on the line to defend our republic. That is who I want to see as that teammate for the GOP nominee.”

and her strategic advise is suppose to mean what exactly? I would have loved to be the fly on the wall when this came to Romney’s attention and what his response would have been to Sarah Palin’s sage wisdom.
I love the way she keeps using that term as a point of pride, bucking the liberals as it were. …as if it hadn’t it hadn’t been Republicans who first gave it to her.
Too many people don’t pay much attention to what Sarah Palin has to say,,,but the wrong people do, and they agree with her.
Kstreet607 puts the subject of Palin’s comments right out there for all to see, and those who can understand need to pay attention.
.
For those of you who may [or may not] have read my post of May 18 on “From Where I Sit,” I commented on the fact that if Romney supporters dig into the Jeremiah Wright matter too deeply, Obama supporters might do a bit more digging into the Mittster’s background also. When peoples karma turns on them, It can sometimes be devastating.
I’m sorry … she’s saying to fight back hard?
Why, please remind us, did she resign from her office?
Really, her 15 minutes ended long ago.
