What's the Old Media's latest nit-picking Palin apostasy? They claim she rolled her eyes at a nasty, negative constituent. Mean, rotten, evil Sarah the "eye roller" should be tarred and feathered over this, I guess.
Here's how The New York Times' The Caucus Blog is reporting it:
In a video that has been widely reported, Ms. Palin asks a woman standing next to a large “Worst Governor Ever” banner what she does for a living. The woman — Kathleen Gustafson, according to news media reports – responds that she’s a teacher. That leads to a response that prompted several outlets to comment that Ms. Palin rolled her eyes — or at least looked like she was rolling them.This supposed "eye rolling" occurs after the woman told the Governor that she was a teacher (about 1:10 into the video). Many of the left-media are claiming that Palin rolls her eyes and gives a "knowing glance" to her supporters as if to say, "oh, a teacher, now we know this constituent is a left-wing, loony."
But if you look at the video closely there is no "eye rolling." The Gov. does look at her supporters and does give a sort of shrug-like look, but one has to assume and read into what that all means because the Gov. does not actually say anything to inform anyone of what she was thinking at that moment. Nor does she make an obvious face to inform. A look and a slight grin does not adequately reveal her thinking. One has to read her mind to really know what she was thinking at that instant...

...mmmm...let’s see, rolling eyes, or flipping the finger....
My guess is they’ll give Odumbo the pass.
What ignorant twaddle. Sarah Palin is from a family of teachers.
However, if some loon waving a sign and saying “your precious Bible” and making the ludicrous argument that she was simultaneously the ‘worst Governor ever’ and that she let Alaska down when she resigned - told ME that she was a teacher (which was a lie) I might well “roll my eyes” that THIS was the caliber of person teaching our youth.
I may go for Sarah just because she pisses the right people off, if nothing else.
A natural reaction to be sure, but she is definitely going to have to learn to be more stone faced at the right time. Especially at the international level. Playing more poker is a good way. I think the Brits have this down pat. Now we all know that the finger gestures by the resident was well thought out. Such a low life. White trash.
:-)
Turns out the woman wasn’t a teacher.
“The meme they are going with is that she hates teachers”
Except that the woman was a fraud and not a teacher - so on back to laughing about notes on the palm for them.
Twas a media set up all the way.
The media has become filled with despicable people......
Bang! That shot hit the bullseye! LOL!
Just like when someone tells you that they're a Navy SEAL and you just know that it's very unlikely. The unconsious eye roll just happens (or the nose wrinkles so you don't have to smell whatever they're shoveling).
