Roger Ailes hired former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin back as Fox News contributor to piss off people who wanted her dead. Ailes:
The only two people I knew who got worse press than her were Richard Nixon and George W. Bush — some of it unfairly, much of it unfair to her family. She’s recognizable, she’s attractive, and she still has the message of stop raising taxes. The Tea Party started as a group that [the government] could make go home to bake meatloaf at any point in the last three years by simply doing two things: Stop raising taxes and stop stealing their money. Congress can’t stop spending money. I’m not a defender of everything she says. I don’t hear everything she says. But I know she represents a certain group of people who rose up against their own party, which you rarely see. I probably hired her back, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, to give her a chance to say her piece and piss off the people that wanted her dead.

I like the idea of your Lydia.
Mama grizzlys
May God continue to protect and bless Sarah. We need her now, more than ever!
Yes indeed!
Gay, you thay?
I was thinking of creating a new drinking game. Essentially, go to DU, pick any thread at random, and add a comment that somehow mentions Sarah Palin. Then take bets on how long it takes for the entire thread to go from discussing some topic to 100% of each and every subsequent comment Sarah bashing.
Are you kidding? You can almost do that here. Well, it’s better than it used to be but for a 4 year run EVERY Palin mention brought down a flock of PDSers and every thread devolved.
Aye, but still be fun on DU. You can go to a thread about cats, and say something like “Did you hear, Sarah Palin ran over a cat last week?” The entire thread would then be hijacked.
I laugh everytime I see "Media Death Watch" because the PDSers bought every word of the propaganda hook, line & sinker. The MSM isn't dying anytime soon and you can still see their influence even on FR.
Thats true. Or be really evil and say she adopted a black one ;)
They are nothing if not pathetic.
PDSers never have to worry about unemployment even an Obama economy. They can always return to the circus as contortionists always seem to draw a crowd there.
They keep chiropractors in business. ;-)
Good for you Roger Ailes. Sarah Palin sure knows how to do it. Love that woman.
Granny always said every person has a purpose. Even to be a bad example to others. I think she meant PDSers. Granny haZd a wise.
I think he hired her back to get some viewers back.
Here's one pissed-off dude, man.
Don Imus show Imus behind the scenes the quote may be erased by now. This is a daily log written by his staff about the show and other things.
7:15:18 – The Boss reacts to Sarah Palin’s speech at the Billy Graham Birthday Celebration: “Is there any way that she could be put to sleep? If they put a bunch of scientist together to assemble the dumbest person in the world…they couldn’t make one more stupid than her.” An uncharacteristically measured response from the I-Man.
I recall that it was Friday November 8, 2013 show.
"Ah.. it's just Imus being Imus," some explain. If it was Imus being Imus the staff would have responded with comments like "Put the scientists to sleep who made you, Iman" or at least erupted into laughter. There was silence as I recall. The news reader reported on Palin's visit to Graham and started a recording of her speaking. Imus instantly hit the scream button and erupted with those threats. The newsman immediately moved on to another item.
Oh yes she does!
I agree with you.
Thank you so much for posting that.
I stopped watching Imus because of his ugly remarks about her.
I keep meaning to tell Ailes THAT!
He’s a classless, ugly person, both inside and out.
