IMPEACHMENT GOES MAINSTREAM
Breitbart ^ | November 14, 2014 | By Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/14/2014 12:50:54 PM PST by Jim Robinson

In July, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wrote a widely-publicized op-ed for Breitbart News. “Enough is enough of the years of abuse from this president,” she wrote. “Without borders, there is no nation. Obama knows this. Opening our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants is deliberate. This is his fundamental transformation of America.” Then, she dropped the bomb: “It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.”

Believe it or not, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had actually suggested impeachment even earlier, this time over the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap, in which the Obama administration freed five top-level Taliban terrorists in exchange for the alleged deserter. He stated, “There will be people on our side calling for his impeachment if he did that.” And Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said in March that Obama could be up for impeachment if he continued his “unconstitutional approaches” to immigration reform and Obamacare.

But it was Palin’s comments that drove ire. At the time, Palin’s critics leapt on the comments to suggest that Republicans more broadly were planning impeachment; House Speaker John Boehner immediately fired back, stating that he disagreed with Palin on impeachment.

There were some who defended Palin’s position – Mark Levin explained, “our country is being destroyed….Here’s the dead truth. Obama should be impeached, but he won’t be impeached. Obama should be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate, but he won’t be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate. Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors by violating the constitution.”

So predictable Normy, you need a new gig, and perhaps a new brain would serve you better......

So As I foretold: we'll all watch while you predictably won't deal with YOUR genuine countering the work of Gov Palin.

You didn't, but then.....you couldn't. You'd have to actually admit that YOU were the one who was wrong, not her.

Actually I was right. She is the one that came to MY position Lake. She wants a RINO hunt. That means what? Romney bad Lake.

And trying to sell her sole 24 hour from the election comment as support is pretty unethical of you. But your ethics ARE situational.

The fact that I have fought more people in support of Palin than most everyone on FR is also gonna be a tough sell lake. Considering how many called me a Palinbot. You really should think first. Of course your former lib site didn’t require that so granted, you aren’t used to it.

What we need are two things:

1. Conservative researchers/writers actually write up an impeachment charge document, using the Bullet approach, and including a few specific examples of “high crimes and misdemeanors” with each charge.

2. Have an organization create a “National Committee to Impeach Barack Obama” (based on the Marxists’ 1970 creation of similar name).

3. Then hold “hearings” with “witnesses” who will list, describe and document each charge.

It would make for great TV showing and as a documentary. Hey Dinesh. Can you take this on? You have some time on your hands now and know how to make great documentaries.

From MadMax who was atthe old Heritage Foundation “Third Generation” talks where you often appeared to the delight of all present. Kelly Fitzgerald was cute, and still is.

As we learned with Clinton, impeachment means nothing. It’s a slap on the hand and the miscreant goes on with life as usual. Removal from office must be on the table. And prison.

Well Norm, enjoying the fact that you're so dense, and so deceitful, and so small minded is simply wonderful.

Palin invented the acronym ABO, remember Norm? Oh, I forgot, you are that stupid......

So, once again, if you're a "Palin bot" why did you go against what she asked people to do for TWO WHOLE ELECTION CYCLES? Were you smarter than her? More conservative than her? Better than her? (most of us here know the answer, btw.)

We're all watching you squirm Norm, and it's just delightful.....

And she just disavowed that coming to the position I and the others you knifed in the back held all along. Why on earth is that squirming Lake? You really do need to stop. I’m not the one being embarrassed here.

She’s on my side lake. I welcome her ;)

He actually had about 2-3 reasonable posts - was playing nice - then the real NL took over again.

She just disavowed what Norm? What position did she come to that's yours and not hers Norm? What a charlatan you are Norm, what a buffoon........you make yourself more ridiculous by the post.

It's genuinely enjoyable watching you pretend you're relevant. Keep making my day.....:-)

Why? you proved every point I ever made about you. Nothing more need to be said unless you want to carry on uselessly.

Carry on uselessly? Moi?

Sorry Norm, everyone knows you've got the franchise on that one.

Nice dodge about telling everyone to go against Gov Palin's advice for TWO WHOLE ELECTION CYCLES!!!!

Good job. Unfortunately, everyone is still watching you squirm. It's delightful.....

Sigh. I tried.

So you equate not blindly following her single comment saying Vorte Romney with 2 cycles of opposition.

Lake Find me one other Freeper that will agree with your position and prove what a PDSer I am. One. Search FR and drag out the VOLUMES of my staunch 4 year hate.

But you can’t produce what does not exist. Because you are and have been a fraud.

I took the liberty of pinging some of Fr’s biggest Palin supporters. Maybe they will vouch for you about it.

Besides a liberal, I know of no one who attacks more Republicans and Conservatives than good ol’ Norm. And to think he believes that he is edgy and intelligent! A “maverick” so to speak...

My close family who are politically aware say this to me when the topic if Obama being Impeached comes up.

“there’s no way the Republicans are going to Impeach the first Black President”

When I press to ask how far can he go before he can be stopped, they reply that “he’s going to do whatever the hell he wants and he KNOWS it”.

I find this logic impossible but if this is the great taboo that the GOP will not cross over then we are really screwed.

He will create such great damage that it could never be made whole.

If this immigration thing is implemented it will create 2 Countries inside this Republic.
