Palin to Cheney: Careful where you aim
CNN ^ | Aug 1 2012 | CNN

Posted on 08/01/2012 9:34:15 PM PDT by WilliamIII

Don't expect to see Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney on an elk hunt anytime soon.

The former Alaska governor slammed Cheney Tuesday for his assertion that it was a mistake to put her on the 2008 GOP ticket, saying the former vice president was being influenced by the "lamestream media."

Appearing to reference a now-infamous incident from 2006 when Cheney accidentally shot a campaign contributor on a quail hunt, Palin said sarcastically that Cheney was not known for his "misfires."

"Seeing as how Dick – excuse me, Vice President Cheney – never misfires, then evidently he's quite convinced that what he had evidently read about me by the lamestream media, having been written, what I believe is a false narrative over the last four years, evidently Dick Cheney believed that stuff and that's a shame," Palin said in an appearance on Fox News.

Cheny is another one of those Socialist Oligharchs of the RINO variety that needs to be purged

I used to semi -respect Cheny but always thought he was just another war mongering jingoistic cheerleader for the military industrial complex who has no problem wasting our kids lives to play frivolous unnecessary war games

Now I just see him as an idiot

Yes, Sarah was more experienced than Obama, but that’s damning with faint praise.

Cheney is entitled to his opinion. Sarah is running for anything.

That Sarah Palin had been governor for two years in 2008 is a false narrative written by the lamestream media?

Dick Cheney doesn't think two years as governor qualifies a person for the vice presidency - and he doesn't make an exception for Sarah Palin. That's all. Right or wrong, it's no reason to throw him off the bus.

That was uncalled for.

Really?



I doubt Cheney would have much to be jealous of Palin’s daughter.

Why not?



So, what's your point?

Umm--Cheney was a congressman, then a cabinet member...then got a nice posh sinecure at an oil company...then got to be veep. I still see Palin as more energetic and accomplished.

I don't see him as any kind of saint.

Then he has these convenient parochial social issues...his daughter's a dyke, so we all have to celebrate the fact by changing the definition of marriage?

Some people just need to RETIRE.

Why the heck would he need to jump on the bash Palin bandwagon?!

It is baffling. Cheney has been a politician for a long, long time, and his comment didn't reflect his political experience.

Unless his intention was to fire up the conservative base in support of Palin, then it really was a mis-fire.

RINOS have been “reaching across the aisle” compromising with the Democrats, all they have left are bloody stumps and it now appears the Dems have bitten off their heads... so they’ve lost their minds... literally!

Does she still even have that big of a following around here ? For a while I almost thought even many posters here were turning on her after she publicly came out in support of Title IX - even though she never expressed support for destroying men’s teams to fill quotas - and tried to get in touch with her feminist side and go on about how a woman president is needed to fix the mess men created and what not. I thought many traditional conservatives here withdrew at least some of their support after that.

I think you are sadly misinformed as to the proclivities of Freepers.. and by the way quit spamming Freepers on mail.

Poor ol’ Cheney

Sarah Palin too polite, and no one has openly suggested the old war horse himself was a historic mistake for VP in 2004
He may have cost the GOP the 2008 election because his health was incapable of allowing him to be a viable nominee to succeed W, thus we got the idiot McCain

McCain was the one who lost, he was downright embarrassing to watch, especially when he clinched his defeat by suspending his campaign to race back to Washington to lead the GOP charge into TARP

Interviewer should have asked Cheney if McCain’s nomination was a “mistake”? Or do ol’ boys from da Senate not diss each other by admitting this?

Cheney is entitled to his opinion.

Never said he wasn’t. His opinion is a load of c—p, though.

And what did Sarah do? She should of taken the high road and said something like “He is entitled to his opinions even if I disagree with them” instead of tying to be funny.

I think she took the high road by suggesting he misfired. And it was funny, too.
