Juan Williams: Palin can't stand on intellectual stage with Obama
examiner.com ^ | 12/26/2010 | Joe Newby

While appearing on Fox News Sunday, Juan Williams slammed Sarah Palin's intelligence.

"There's nobody out there, except for Sarah Palin, who can absolutely dominate the stage, and she can't stand on the intellectual stage with Obama," Williams said.

Since becoming John McCain's Vice-Presidential running mate, the left has repeatedly used this line of attack. In fact, a Google search on the term "Sarah Palin is stupid" returns over 67 million results.

Apparently, the prospect of Sarah Palin running for President in 2012 has liberals doing everything they can to denigrate the former Alaska Governor before the primary even begins.

Has Sarah Palin made mistakes? Sure. She is, after all, a human being - contrary to what liberals would have us believe.

But compare her mis-steps to the man Newsweek once called "God of All Things".

Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin listed several gaffes Obama made during the 2008 election. Among those gaffes:

* Last May, he claimed that Kansas tornadoes killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.

*Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

In 2009, John Hawkins spelled out ten of the young Administrations biggest mistakes to that point, including:

I’ve taken all the Google apps I can find off my computer.

I use the Yahoo search and it works well. Yahoo is run be libs too, I understand, but not as overtly lib as Google.

A smart person with a teleprompter crutch is much akin to many very gifted classical musicians: put the music in front of them and they’re amazing. Tell them, “Key of Eb, and swing it”, and they can’t play a note. Ad lib comes from the heart. If you don’t really know why you believe what you believe, you lose credibility off the cuff.

Colonel, USAFR

Juan Williams gets fired from NPR. He gets the sympathy of conservatives who realize what kind of content comes from NPR, then turns around and makes a fool of himself with those same people with a statement like that.

Obama is in so far over his head it’s funny to watch.

It might have been funny to watch if he was actually in say...Iran or Cuba or N. Korea...destroying their countries, but in America...not so funny.

He’s better at some times than others, but overall, Juan’s not too bright.

Juan used to be reminded of his own intellectual limitations once of twice a week, sometimes 4 or 5 times a week, when Brit Hume hosted Special Report. Brit would nail him to the wall and leave him speechless.

It appears Bret doesn’t have the chops to do the same.

Excellent comeback. Those are the same questions I ask when liberal friends tell me how bright he is. There is no proof. He is an artificial man, in many ways.

Applying the standards that liberals have used, this is my conclusion:

Reagan was a dimwit because he used cue cards
Bush was a idiot because he pronounce nuclear (NUK-CLAR)
Now Obama has declared there are 57 states and the army corps has changed to the army corpse!
So it is official by liberal standards Obama is a frigging moron.

“Uh, well, uh, uh, share the wealth, uh, well, uh....DUH.” That’s the sum total of Barrack Obama’s towering intellect. AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ANOMALY. An outlier—on the wrong side of the curve.

Neither is Seann Hannity very bright. But what he lacks in brains he makes up for with carefully applied enthusiasm, family values, and love of his country.

Juan is dull tasting gruel, made with marxist ingredients. Everyone else is supposed to eat it and accept that it's good.

Obama is nothing more than a product of Affirmative Action.

He took the slot in several schools that would have otherwise gone to intelligent students.

Please provide examples of Obama’s ‘Intelligence” and “Articulateness” Are you privy to his Harvard grades?
Do you program his teleprompter? Are you the Edgar Bergen to his Mortimer Snerd? ( that will have a few checking their Wikipedia.)

I fear you have fallen to the lamestream media’s affirmative action enablement mantra of the Savior.

When discussing or criticizing Obama, the preamble is always that he is ‘smart,’ ‘articulate,’ and a ‘good family man.’

In reality such enablement is condescending, and if you were just practicing this requisite condescension, you are understandably excused. Happy New Year.
