From Politico--
PALIN: It depends on a few things. Say he played, and I got this from Buchanan, reading one of his columns the other day.(Good job Sarah, you read a newspaper) Say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran, or decided to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel, which I would like him to do. But that changes the dynamics in what we can assume is going to happen between now and three years. Because I think if the election were today, I do not think Obama would be re-elected.
But three years from now things could change if on the national security threat --
WALLACE: You're not suggesting that he would cynically play the war card.
PALIN: I'm not suggesting that. I'm saying, if he did, things would dramatically change if he decided to toughen up and do all that he can to secure our nation and our allies. I think people would perhaps shift their thinking a little bit and decide, well, maybe he's tougher than we think he is today. And there wouldn't be as much passion to make sure that he doesn't serve another four years --
WALLACE: But assuming he continues on the path that he going on and we don't have that rally around the flag (ph) --
PALIN: Then he's not going to win.
The prospects of this woman actually being nominated as a presidential candidate is terrifying. Obama should "toughen up", and start a war. Nice. Palin's take on foreign policy sounds like a drunken college frat boy playing alpha male and trying to impress a girl.
And then there's this gem--
Palin, who slammed Emanuel last week for calling liberal activists "f---ing retards," declined to ask conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh to apologize for using the term "retards" on his nationally syndicated show, saying Limbaugh used the word as satire.
"I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people who he did not agree with f---ing retards and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, it's been reported, did say that. There's a big difference there," said Palin, whose youngest son Trig has Down Syndrome.
Palin made the comment after Wallace asked her about this Limbaugh quote: "Our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards. ... I mean these people, these liberal activists, are kooks."
"Should Rush Limbaugh apologize," Wallace asked.
Palin responded, "They are kooks so I agree with Rush Limbaugh."
I can't even comment on this because I know people who support this woman, and I don't want to insult them. I don't even know what to say. She is an absolute joke. The hypocrisy is just astounding. Just decry Limbaugh's comment! But she can't. And that's how bad it's gotten.

You completely missed what Palin was saying to Wallace
please enlighten me then. because it seems that me, and most of the rest of the country, who aren't all googly-eyed over her take her comments-- from the limbaugh one to most everything else she says-- as a total contradiction.
and just to make sure there isn't some miscommunication going on here, let me present my take: emanuel called liberals, who wanted to run some ads about healthcare, retards. palin then says that using that word is insensitive, and calls for his resignation. limbaugh denounces our supposed "politically correct society" (which takes aim at the comments palin made in regards to emanuel) and then proceeds to call liberals retards. palin then agrees with him, and tries to argue that his comments were "satirical." he even mentions a "retard summit" at the whitehouse, but that's ok. all while agreeing that the liberals emanual called retards are retards: "They are kooks so I agree with Rush Limbaugh."
but yeah. maybe i'm missing something. maybe only the real americans in this country who love her, and know how do decode her down-home folksy gibberish, get what she's saying. maybe that's the problem. maybe her knocking obama about lecturing at a lectern, all while she is lecturing at a lectern, isn't stupid and contradictory. there must be some hidden meaning.
so please enlighten me heath. i want to believe there isn't a large swath of our country that isn't completely insane. i want to understand why it is that conservatives that support her can't just admit she's an idiot and throw their support behind someone like newt, or ron paul, or someone else who isn't f-ing retarded.
