Palin retreats, won't reload
Politico ^ | 1/30/11 | ANDY BARR

Posted on 01/30/2011 8:45:32 AM PST by Hawk720

Palin’s putting the safety catch on her references to weapons in the wake of Rep. Giffords's shooting.

Continue Reading

Her speech last night to the Safari Club in Reno was closed press, but thanks to the Reno Gazette-Journal's David Jacobs putting his ear to a closed door, we’re hearing the former Alaska governor’s new line.

Palin dropped the "reload" phrase from her routine, telling the audience of hunters "don't retreat, stand tall" — a shift from her now infamous and well-known "don't retreat, reload" line that played on a loop on cable in the after the Tucson shooting.

More of the QueerMedia reporting on non-news hype and noise generated by their fellow propagandizing bedwetters.

Oh, and I doubt Sarah Palin is “backing down” from anything.

Mr. Barr was obviously sitting on a limb like a starving vulture waiting for her to reuse the phrase...it was a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation for Sarah.

Her specialty is keeping the obamabot media off balance, they push, she steps aside for them to fall on their faces.

That's liberals for you...

So, if I understand their dribble correctly, first, she’s responsible for Loughtener’s shooting for her map and rhetoric. And now, she’s weak, and running away because she didn’t say “reload”?

So, in their eyes, is there any reasonable thing she could have done correctly?

And this is what qualifies as reporting? Lol.

Face it she shouldn’t change the line, if she’s going to use it.

I worked for a liberal government official. When something went against him, he would say “Don’t get gun shy, just sharpen those sights!” No one thought he was talking about shooting anyone.

Removing references to fighting and weaponry will only further weaken a society that can’t defend itself at arms.

She's reloading. She'll use it again at *exactly* the right moment.

I agree with you. She is where she is in large part because she doesn’t back down. Its a mistake to start now. And its a mistake to let the Dems set the terms and language of the debate.

I’m actually not a fan of the whole notion of “civility” when the Dems get to be the arbiters of it.

I wonder why they don’t put an ear next to the Oval office and listen to what is going on with (.)bama who is the pResident rather than commenting about someone in private life. Furthermore, I guess the same could be said about why they were not at the door of the Oval Office when Clintoon was in there....wait a minute, I don’t like the image this is bringing up in my mind.

If you read my tagline you will know I support Palin. However, apart from what she says, Sarah talks too fast and as a result talks too much. I’m talking about delivery not substance. She needs a speaking coach to slow her down for better effect.

If she’d used the same words as in previous statements, they’d have said she wasn’t smart enough to think of anything else to say.

You can’t win with these people, but you can expose them for what they are: the enemies of all that is or has ever been good in America.

They know she’s inevitable.

They knew it the first time they saw her.

It's why they go insane every time they think of her.

What a joke.

This maggot infected mediot can’t do any real reporting.

So he fabricates his wet dream supposedly based on what another maggot infected mediot said he heard through closed doors.

“Reno Gazette-Journal’s David Jacobs putting his ear to a closed door!”

Why are these maggot infected mediots so upset by Sarah. Are they jealous that she has a good looking/real guy as her husband.

More proof that they’re going to attack her no matter what she says. I guess this is more newsworthy than the promise that unemployment would not go over 8% if the stimulus was passed.

I agree with you. Sarah is a very strong woman with the ability to change the dialog. Speaking coach would help her to lower her pitch and slow the delivery. I really love the gal and will work my A off for her when she runs for President.

True - "don't retreat" sends the message that any attackers will be met head-on. Similar to "talk softly but carry a big stick".

Palin may be a Sun Tzu pupil (A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective) - in their dreams she is ineffective and incompetent, she's happy to let them have their dreams - having folks "misunderestimate" her will be a plus.

The Safari Club is the biggest money-maker for Reno tourism. It is attended by some very nationally important and well-connected poeple. This bozo Jornolista could have had a huge story—but he was too busy listening from the hallway. LOL.

This little twerp will spend his the rest of his career covering Bureau of Land Management wild horse roundups! Yee Haw! “Sarah didn’t say RELOAD!” IDIOT!!!!

It only takes one wrong word from Sarah to make a headline that lasts for months on end. Its a Quale moment for the MSM every time they find one. Heck if they find one, it could distract away from Obama and the Egyptian crisis in the ME.

You said, "The Safari Club is the biggest money-maker for Reno tourism. It is attended by some very nationally important and well-connected people."

The dog of one of the important, well-connected people is being dog-sat by our neighbor. I played a slobbery wet game of fetch with Hunter yesterday. He's quite a dog.

“Civility” is censorship as the left has defined it.

As long as we all speak honestly and accurately with appropriate manners we can let “civility” take care of itself.
