Rifle-Toting Failed Sportscaster Calls for 'Revolution' (Anti-Gun, Anti-Palin & Anti-GOP trifecta)
Gawker ^ | February 17, 2010 | John Cook

Posted on 02/17/2010 11:59:24 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Sarah Palin was in God's Country last night, preaching "revolution" to the Arkansas GOP in exchange for $100,000 or so. The party also gave her an engraved .44-magnum rifle. So that's what you get the quitter who has everything.

The Arkansas Republican Party was happy to allow press coverage of Palin's speech, but she overruled them, so the only accounts we have are from reporters' notes. The Arkansas Times took a statistical approach:

Number of African-Americans in attendance: 4.
Mentions of President Obama: 1.
Times Palin mentioned the Republican Party in her speech: 1.
Wal-Mart: 7.

We have no idea what that means—maybe Palin hopes Wal-Mart stores will serve as supply depots for partisans in the coming revolution. From local station KTHV:

"I think our country is ready for another revolution and this one can take place at the ballot box in 2010 in a town near you," Palin told a crowd of about 5,000 people at Verizon Arena in downtown North Little Rock.

And if the ballot box fails, the Arkansas GOP got Plan B rolling by presenting Palin with a $2,000 .44-magnum rifle engraved with her name. (Though in an unforgivable faux pax, the party picked a gun that was manufactured in New Jersey, a known outpost of fake America.)

The event raised $400,000 for the state Republican Party. Palin's fee wasn't disclosed, but her going rate is $100,000 per appearance.

I doubt that she charged a speaking fee for a GOP fundraiser.

He likely gets this amount from the ‘fee’ supposedly paid her at the Tea Party event, which she acknowledged returning back to the Tea Party.

So he applies this to the GOP event, which he has no confirmation of; just his own useless speculation. This is worthless, IMO.

Gee, I just saw ONE African-American on this jerk’s webpage.

I guess that is the new criterion of merit from the looney left.

Sounds more like he’s constipated and just had to ‘express’ in some way. What a petty little piece and it all could have been avoided by taking a laxative.

She isn’t saying anything Judge Napolitano’s hasn’t already said:

Crucial information is missing from the article.

Which make and model is the .44?

I suppose he got a warm feeling running down his leg as well. I just hope he changed his diaper fast.

A firearm, made anywhere, in this country is a reaffirmation of the 2nd Amendment and laudable. I have bought several guns, ammunition and other supplies from 'Yankee' territory. It is the one exception in my rule of NO CASH FOR BLUE....

The extreme left keep working this story line: Birthers, teabaggers, right-wing conspiracy, segregation, armed revolt, racism, christian theocracy, and the rest of the bullshit they say.

The bottom line is that the Democrats ran as more conservative than John McCain and conservative democrats and independents leaning right believed it. Meanwhile conservative Republicans refused to vote. Obama wins and threw away the mask of conservatism. Now the natural conservatives and moderates regret their reckless choice and are uncontrollably pissed that radical socialism has seized their country.

The left will never learn who, what, where, and why americans despise them.

The article mentions it was made in New Joisey - I think it might be a Henry.

Cool.

Sounds like just another Palin hating nut. They pile on to trash Sarah Palin because that's the only way they could ever get any attention. Without her they are nothing.

Henry rifles are made in Brooklyn, NY IIRC.

Damn a friend of mine has an early Ruger 44 mag carbine, kind of a stepped up 10/22, nice piece of machinery.
