More Quote of the Day Honorable Mention, Part 78

*
"Sarah's List" Edition...

Joan Vennochi at The Boston Globe:
"Sarah Palin is the enemy who must be stopped... Palin’s anti-abortion stand makes her poison to Emily’s List. But at the same time, it makes her the queen of Sarah’s List. This is war."
ZIP at Weasel Zippers:
"NOW Official: We Don’t Consider Sarah Palin to be a Feminist Because She’s Not Progressive... Of course they don’t, Palin values the life of the unborn (that and she thinks for herself, bathes regularly, is attractive, doesn’t worship Obama, shaves, believes in God etc.)"
John Nolte at Big Journalism:
"Then-Senator Barack Obama, The Man Who Would Be President, spent 20 years sitting in a church run by a racist demagogue and hater of all things America (government-created AIDS, we had 9/11 coming, 'G*d da*n America!') and rather than investigate that relationship and report on whether or not Obama’s absurd claim that he knew nothing about such incendiary and racist statements was true, the media obsessed over Sarah Palin’s children and wardrobe."
Fuzzy Slippers at NewsReal Blog:
"Palin, much to the Left’s dismay and alarm, is simply describing what is happening -- a spontaneous, truly grassroots social movement that threatens not just this president’s progressive agenda but the very foundations that gave rise to it."
Laura Curtis at the Washington Examiner:
"Kurtz specifically complains that Sarah Palin is inaccessible to the media which parses her every word (while Gaffemaster Biden and 57 state corpse-man Obama get free passes), and which gleefully promoted lies by [Levi Johnston]... It sure is hard to imagine why Palin would bypass the “lamestream” press filter in favor of publishing on Facebook, where readers get every word and it’s all in context."
Bruce Hall at Hall of Record:
"The liberals from the Northeast and West Coast simply hate the way Sarah Palin sounds... So why do liberals love the way President Obama speaks? Perhaps because he speaks the way they believe 'an educated black man' should sound... Maybe the problem is not with Palin."
Jennifer Harper at The Washington Times:
"Miss Palin and Mr. Johnston got a press honeymoon that lasted 20 minutes, perhaps... But it did not take long before the news hounds lapsed into unkind press parlor games usually reserved for the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie crowd."
S. E. Cupp at NY Daily News:
"Palin's been a force for some time now, and making fun of her word choices, the way she talks, and what they think is an unforgivable lack of polish is much easier than going after her actual message, which is fairly complex and carries considerable weight among her base and even independents... Let he who is without syntax cast the first stone."
Don Surber at the Charleston Daily Mail:
"The Endorsement Primary of 2010 — to see which presidential candidate gathers the most chits for the 2012 race — continues to go to Sarah Palin... This is turning into a Year of the Republican Women and Sarah Palin has a role in that. Her strategery is refudiating the lamestream media."
Huma Khan at The Note:
"Pollsters say Handel’s campaign gained steam after Palin’s endorsement last week touting her as a 'great commonsense conservative woman,' and a robocall Palin taped, encouraging voters to dismiss the 'crazy things' being said about Handel... Palin’s endorsements have helped lift many underdogs to the forefront, including South Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley and California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina."
Merv Benson at Prairie Pundit:
"The Branstad endorsement was as important as the Nicki Haley endorsement. That gives her a friend in the governors chair in two of the most important states in the Presidential selection process in recent years. That is smart politics. While Palin has not raised as much money as Mitt Romney, her endorsements have been much more valuable."
Standing Pat:
"The NAACP calls the Tea Parties racist; sorry guys, we’re not, you are. Sarah Palin sets them right... She endorsed Tim Scott, a black GOP candidate running against Strom Thurmond’s son in South Carolina, and he won easily, with heaps of Tea Party support."
Susan Duclos at Wake up America:
"Sarah Palin seems to incite either very positive or very negative reactions across the blogosphere but it seems the more negative the comments from Palin haters, the more support Palin receives from her supporters and from those on the fence, so to speak. Palin is truly the wild card in the upcoming 2012 elections and while she has not stated whether she will definitely be a contender or not, should she throw her hat into that ring, there is a very good possibility that she would walk away with the GOP nomination."
Tom Donnelly of American Enterprise Institute:
"In the conservative ranks and within the party, she's really quite a crucial piece in this puzzle. She's got both political and tea-party/small-government bona fides, but she also has a lot of credibility in advocating for military strength."
Anthony Rubenstein:
"It seems like being on the wrong side of Mama Grizzly is kind of problematic for Teresa [Casazza] who is one of California's leading Republicans-for-hire. She put a couple of giga-Watts of pure B.S. bio-mass into discrediting Sarah Palin’s support of Oil Severance taxes by claiming that because she raised Alaska’s Oil Severance tax, a '$300 million refinery project' in Alaska got 'scrapped'. Unfortunately, Ms Palin could tell Teresa that oil refining and oil production are two separate businesses. The business decision of where and whether to build a refinery has nothing to do with the cost of producing oil, and everything to do with demand for gasoline, cost of distribution, and the cost of capital."
