Hilarious: HuffPo Says Sarah Palin Had No Authority To Write An Op-Ed In The Washington Post
kxnet.com ^ | July 14, 2009

Posted on 07/14/2009 12:29:02 PM PDT by Al B.

My, my, my.

In what is without a doubt the best foot stomping, squealing, hold-your-breath-until-you-turn-purple fit I’ve seen in quite some time, and it’s all because Sarah Palin had the gall to write an op-ed and that the Washington Post had the nerve to publish it. But to set the record straight someone named Art Brodsky, a writer at the Huffington Post is letting us know that, gosh darnit, Sarah Palin just doesn’t have the right to publish that opinion piece in the Washington Post.

Here are just some of the samples of his hissy fit:

It’s not simply that no one who saw her last two press conferences about her quitting Alaska for the bright lights of the Lower 48 believes she actually wrote the piece. Ghost-writing is a fine established art. Few politicians do their own writing.

It’s quite another to believe that she actually knows or cares sufficiently about cap-and-trade and environmental legislation to care enough to write about it for a major newspaper. And even if she does, what possible justification on Earth is there for the Post publishing her?

Oh, I see. She’s just too stupid to have written the piece herself in the first place. And anyway, so what if she did? How dare the Post publish it! The nerve! How could she possibly know anything aboput politics? It gets better:

But obviously, Obama has every right to have an hour long special promoting a political agenda on network television with staged questions under the guise of a news special. But damn it, Sarah can’t write an editorial!!!!!

It’s really quite interesting to see the LibTards go absolutely apoplectic every time Palin speaks or writes on an issue in the grand political mix of the day.

They reveal themselves as the narrow-minded bigots against whom they so often and so vocally rail. If it weren’t such a troubling thing, it would be almost funny.

It’s time to take back the country.

What better noise is there in this world than LIBS having a fit! Someone needs to give him a little hug and tell him not to worry. That everything will be just fine when Sarah becomes President. :)

So are they basically saying that Sarah has no right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH. I guess that makes sense since this no longer looks like America since Bambi took over

We should print pictures of Sarah and leave them everywhere.
Coffee houses, restaurants, gas pumps, restrooms.

I want to see them have a breakdown. Foaming at the mouth, pulling out their hair bat feces crazy.

That quote might sound crazy to some but to me it is SPOT ON. What is scary is I think they will NEVER leave her alone until she is dead, not politically dead, but dead in general. Look at the libtards, they are OBSESSED with destroying her life

Energy policy is something she knows - if they admit that little fact then they are doomed. If they attack one of her strongest pillars they think they can break her down.

Every time she raises her head the Left will try to bash it in until she tires of the assaults and disappears.

They will not allow a Republican to be the first woman elected to high office and will do anything and everything to stop her.

“She really is beautiful - probably another reason the rats hate her.”

do you think? I believe they hate her because they just can’t imagine having the Kind of devotion she has to God and country...and what it must be like to have the courage of your convictions to the extent she has...they think a woman who would give birth to a baby even when she KNEW that the baby had Downs must be an idiot...

They reveal themselves as the narrow-minded bigots I respectfully submit that their state of mind is one of severe fright. The teeny bit of intelligence that they have got recognizes Palin as The Destroyer of Liberal Stupidity. They are frightened of her, of 2010 and what it will bring (GOP retakes Congress), and 2012 and what it won't bring (Obozo's reelection).

Lil Art arrogates unto hissef the right to determine who writes for a paper like the Washington Post.

That monkey’s reach exceeded it’s grasp.

“It’s time to take back the country”

I agree, but good luck with it. The media can clearly manipulate enough voters, lazy and uninformed voters, that combined with the socialists, they have a majority. How do we overcome that? Don't even think about the vote fraud of acorn and the various statewide dim machines. Taking back the country may prove difficult if the aforementioned conspiracy continues.

And even if she does, what possible justification on Earth is there for the Post publishing her?

Because she sells newspapers? Not to disparage the author's rant or anything, but the reason papers print things is to sell papers. If she wasn't popular, they wouldn't print her. Oh yeah, and there's that little free speech thing, but I'm sure that's not really important to the Post. Bottom line: It sells papers.

But I personally love the tone that we should not print articles just because She Who Must Not Be Listened To wrote them. I suppose when her book(s) come out, there will be liberal book burning parties.

Wouldn't it be ironic if papers started recovering circulation and actually increasing subscriptions by covering Sarah Palin? :-)
