More Quote of the Day Honorable Mentions, Part 48

Sarah the Neosocialist Slayer Edition...

Motor City Times:
"Laura Berman has a serious case of Palin Derangement Syndrome. Is it caused by jealousy? Sarah Palin has published a best selling book, and her Facebook page, where she publishes her op-ed’s, has over 1 million subscribers. Laura’s paper has a print circulation of 167,849 and less than 600,000 online readers. That’s gotta sting, just a little bit."
Mona Charen:
"You can delegitimize all political speech you dislike by suggesting that it may inflame the violence-prone. The press attempts this again and again. Rather than openly debate, they smear... One fan out of 8,000 at a McCain/Palin rally was reported to have shouted 'Kill him' in reference to Obama. Rafts of stories dwelt upon this revelation of the "ugly" side of Palinmania. A later investigation found no evidence that it had even happened."
Hillbuzz:
"Leftists are 20% of the country, tops, but they currently control the nation... If we can just mobilize enough moderates, conservatives, and independents to counterbalance the Left’s daily activities, these radicals will be quickly drowned out by the American Resistance. Be pro-Sarah in all that you do, not anti-Obama. Operate from a place filled with love for your country, not hatred of the Left. Oppose the Left at every turn and fight to take back this country using your God-given smarts, but do not be overcome by the emotion and insanity of the Left. If we work hard, every day, we will win. They will lose. They’ll howl and wail and gnash their teeth and rip their clothes, while the rest of us pave the way for President Palin to restore this country to strength, solvency, and greatness."
Fay:
"We are launching a petition drive to support Sarah Palin and Discovery Communications and to promote their upcoming Sarah Palin’s Alaska series. We are all looking forward to this series with great anticipation and will not allow political malelovent [types] to distract from what is promising to be an awe-inspiring look at the natural wonders of Alaska and an introduction to its history and everyday life."
Gary P. Jackson:
"Sarah’s successful efforts to stop the cronyism and reform the energy business in Alaska were so impressive Kay Cashman, the publisher and executive editor of Petroleum News, wrote the book entitled: Sarah Takes On Big Oil... Contrast Sarah with Barack Obama. Chicago is world famous for it’s corruption... While Obama was putting on a dog and pony show... on Wall Street, he was pretty silent all those years when he was in an incredibly target rich environment. The difference between the courage Sarah Palin shows standing up to corruption vs Obama’s willingness to wallow in it, is breathtaking."
Chris Field:
"An excerpt from Townhall contributing editor S.E. Cupp's new book, Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity, 'Thou Shalt Have Standards -- Double Standards,' exposes the left-wing media's attack on Sarah Palin's religious beliefs but praised Barack Obama's. They ridiculed Palin's Christianity relentlessly -- as though she believed some radical theology. Of course, they didn't make a peep when it was exposed that Barack Obama attended for 20 years, got married in and had had both daughters baptized in a church that day in and day out preached Marxist black liberation theology."
David Weigel:
"Sarah Palin has, in her inimitable way, moved the Army's decision to disinvite evangelist Franklin Graham from a Pentagon National Day of Prayer Service into Conservative Outrage of the Day territory."
Arlen Williams:
"Sarah Palin says it is 'crony capitalism...' Real reform and truly appropriate regulation can be very difficult to instill, amidst entrenched, corrupt politics and an ideological enmity to the truly virtuous republicanism authentic to America. I personally know of no one with better experience as a pathfinder in just that reform, than Sarah Palin."
Kenneth P. Vogel:
"Palin’s new Twitter feed has nearly 135,000 followers — more than the accounts maintained by Romney, Pawlenty and Huckabee combined (though Gingrich’s is in a category by itself with 1.3 million followers), while Palin’s 1.5 million friends on Facebook laps the field many times over."
Victoria Jackson:
"In Albany, NY standing next to a statue of George Washington was an angry black woman holding a sign that said, 'Yes, We Can.' She looked very angry. The media was on her like flies. They got shots of our Tea Party crowd with her in the foreground. I was asked to pose next to her for a group shot. I kept glancing at her face. It takes a lot of energy to keep a frown that long. Finally, I asked her, 'Why are you so angry?' She whipped her head around, her eyes on fire with hate, and snarled, 'Don’t talk to me, Whitey.' I walked away slowly, wondering why she was so mad at me... Racism… pretty lame if you ask me. My teenage daughter is on the front of the bus flirting with David, a black teenager... His black father William is sitting near me sleeping... In Boston... I had gone back to watching her talk to her fans when suddenly Sarah had turned around and our eyes met. She did a double take and said, 'Oh! I love you!' She hugged me and then she said, 'Thanks for all you’re doing. I want your autograph!'"
Bernie Quigley:
"As long as Bill Maher, Noam Chomsky, Frank Rich, Tiny Fey and David Letterman scorn the Tea Party and Sarah Palin — German fascists, Ku Klux Klan, slut, 'two-headed circus freak dog,' I read about Palin in a North Carolina newspaper this week; writes on her hand and has a Garfield calendar on her desk — the movement will grow and clarify. This debased commentary suggests a troupe of vampires in the twilight and triggers an archetypal and instinctive Buffy the Vampire Slayer conditioned reflex out there with the plain folk in Sunnydale, and she comes with a sword."
Stacy Drake:
"Let’s face it… The left thinks it’s perfectly acceptable to HATE certain people. Tim Tebow, Sarah Palin, and anyone at who attends a Tea Party protest fit into that category... These tactics from the left are increasing and I think that before the November election they will have anyone who disagrees with their agenda or ideology pegged as mass-murdering ‘Soldiers for Satan.’ Expect the worst of the worst to spew from the likes of Alan Grayson, the left-wing blogosphere, and certain members of the press. This is all designed to taint the minds of Independents and scare away Conservative opposition. It won’t work because it’s fairly obvious to most thinking people what is going on here. This is modern American left-wing, gutter politics and it shines a great big light onto their character."
Matthew Archbold:
"Let all the elites laugh it up over how crazy and stupid Sarah Palin is until they request some kind of treatment and it gets denied by an advisory panel... White House Budget Director Peter Orszag explained in scary detail how the Obamacare 'advisory' panel restructures who makes healthcare decisions. Well, firstly it's not an 'advisory' panel in that its decisions are automatically implemented. Secondly, it's weird how forthcoming libs are now that Obamacare has passed."
U.S. News Staff:
"Palin is a long-time, unbending Reagan conservative who has committed to cutting taxes, eliminating some regulations, and generally shrinking the government... The former governor of Alaska is a strong advocate for an energy policy. She wants to produce more domestic energy and buy less overseas... As governor, she had the respect of other governors and worked well with the state legislature. She might bring a new bipartisan approach to Washington... She identifies with working class Americans more than more wealthy candidates and presidents... Just being the first woman president would likely bring massive changes to how the Oval Office is handled and how foreign leaders view the United States."
Right Pundits:
"I think this is something we can all learn about during this midterm year. There will be places where Sarah appears with statewide candidates; there will be places where Obama shows up... The last time I can recall when each party had one headliner and everyone else was a backup act was in the post-94 period, where the options were Newt and BJ."
Seth Lipsky:
"I’ve been telling people that the situation reminds me a little bit of the 1984 presidential campaign, when Vice President Mondale challenged Reagan... I said or wrote at the time that this was the difference between Mondale and Reagan — Mondale knew how the missile worked and Reagan knew whom to point it at. And that’s how I feel about Mrs. Palin. She may not know as many details as some of the other candidates, but she comprehends whom we’re up against."
Cincinnati Enquirer:
"Former and probably future GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney didn't draw even half as many people for his book-signing at Joseph-Beth Booksellers here Thursday as potential rival Sarah Palin did last fall."
Justin Miller:
"Republican primary voters like macho candidates and no one is more macho than Sarah Palin. In a way the fashionista and mother of five evokes more toughness than any man regularly mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in the GOP... Not only is Palin tough on Democrats, she seems to genuinely enjoy beating them up... Republicans know she won't bow to what they think are elite sensitivities or political correctness... Republicans don't want a passionate reformer or soothing reconciler--they want a fighter."
Garance Franke-Ruta:
"Nearly two years after Sarah Palin became the Republican Party's first female vice presidential nominee, record numbers of Republican women are running for House seats, driving the overall count of women running for both the House and the Senate to a new high... Jan Larimer, who is co-chairman of the Republican National Committee and heads its women's program, attributed the increase to anger over Democratic domestic policy priorities: 'The policies of the Obama administration and a Congress led by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have energized women to fight back. First, they were afraid, and now they are angry about health care, their jobs, how to pay for their children's education.' And the example of Palin certainly didn't hurt. Women 'are giving the GOP a second look and realizing that our policies, principles and vision make sense and work for their families,' she said."
The Strib:
"A tipping point [for Tom Emmer's surging campaign] may been the last-minute endorsement by Republican heartthrob Sarah Palin on Thursday afternoon, just as delegates started filtering into the Minneapolis Convention Center."
