Palin Family Brawl Witness Gets Fired for Talking to Good Morning America
Mediaite ^ | September 12, 2014 | Tina Nguyen

Posted on 09/12/2014 6:04:44 PM PDT by EveningStar

The lurid, stereotypical tale of Sarah Palin and her family entering into an alcohol-fueled melee at a snowmobile party is starting to pick up in the mainstream media, with Good Morning America devoting an entire segment to the story this morning. In doing so, they talked to Eric Thompson, an eyewitness who attended the party at the invitation of his boss.

But Thompson, who also gave his account to Alaskan political blogger Amanda Coyne, was fired today for talking to the media.

Tina Nguyen is the latest Mediaite smear artist. What a work of art! Maybe she’d like to go to Hanoi and criticize them for their gross violations of human rights. NO? Oh, just working here to smear patriotic Americans.

Bo Hao!

To be fair, the genetic tests on her lizardry are as yet unpublished. So we don’t know what she actually is.

“...this whole thing is not in line with any current Democrat contender....
**************************************************************************************
The ONLY way I’d have any interest in this story would be if it turned out that current Alaskan ‘RAT Senator Mark Begich has his butt kicked by one of the Palin daughters at the party.

Now THAT would be delicious. A fellow can dream, can’t he?

>As others have said, did the Palins rape a woman or drown a secretary? No, they didn’t. Well then they have a long way to go to catch up to the Kennedys.<

For that matter, they’ve got a way to go to catch up to Bill “Put Some Ice on That” Clinton. Just ask Juanita Broderick.

Don’t be ridiculous. Check my posts on this and other threads concerning this. I think this is trumped up.

Agree 100%. Seeing how all the rancid Dems along with the weak-kneed RINOs react by getting the “vapors” over this story (which is in all likelihood wildly embellished, especially any part coming from those two rabid anti-Palin bloggers who have a long, long history of broadcasting scurrilous lies about the Palins, including the whole Sarah-faked-her-pregnancy nonsense), really tells me a lot about the state of America circa-2014... we’ve become a nation of pathetic rabbits.

I mean, I really hate that it’s come to this, and it makes me even cringe to confront this reality. But it comes into sharper focus each and every day.

Because there wasn’t anything worth filming or taking a still photograph of, for that matter.
We all know everyone at that party had a cell phone with an internal camera. If the Palins were involved in such a brawl there would be photographs. Lots of photographs.

“And Sarah Palin is really just a celebrity, and not a political force to be reckoned with. “

I apologize. Clearly you didn’t just say that. Probably a russian hacker got in here and posted a blatant falsehood. Because her history, recently shows she is. An American Conservative would know that, so obviously you couldn’t have just made the post.

Again, my apologies. Hopefully Jim Thompson will beef up your account security in the future.

“And Sarah Palin is really just a celebrity, and not a political force to be reckoned with.”

No other former VP candidate in our history, winner or loser. has remained as relevant on the American political and cultural scene as long as Sarah Palin.

In fact, she is of greater political relevance than Joe Biden.

Sarah is certainly of greater relevance than Hillary Clinton and is likely the opponent Hillary most fears in 2016.

Sarah is not “just a celebrity,” she is our hope, she will be to America in 2016 what Reagan was to America in 1980.

In Alaska, they call it a snow MACHINE, not a snowmobile.

I wonder why we haven't seen a cell phone video yet?

Because it's Alaska.

They only have one telephone...

And they only have one camera...

I'm sympathetic to her and her family in this and other situations where I think they are unfairly under attack.

However, I still don't think she is presidential material. But that's not a big thing, is it? I mean, most of us aren't presidential material, are we?

While I think this is a tempest in a teapot, the standard “it didn’t happen without video” meme is ridiculous. Wanna prove the Resurrection to me then? Where’s the video? Hell. Where’s the video of the Revolutionary War?

Don’t just assume something isn’t true because you don’t like it. This is likely true to some extent. But, and MUCH more importantly ... who cares? Drinking and fighting. No one was seriously hurt. Happens.

“I mean, most of us aren’t presidential material, are we?”

If by that you mean that most of us aren’t narcissists who can’t easily achieve the degree of duplicity and superficiality exhibited all too commonly by candidates for the Presidency, then you are likely correct.

Sarah Palin is not going to run for president. I don’t think she wants to run for president or any other office ever again. And who can blame her for feeling that way?
