Sarah Palin: Hoist By Her Own Petard
Canada Free Press ^ | 3/10/2010 | William K. Stoos

Posted on 03/10/2010 2:47:13 PM PST by Signalman

COL John “Jack” Sallee was a good man. Witty, charming, and decisive, he had a way of cutting through the BS. He was my Commanding Officer in the Army. I was sorry to hear of his passing. He prominently displayed a sign on the wall of his office in the headquarters building. Perhaps it was a warning to his troops, but I think it was an endearing, sort of self-deprecating reminder.

In big, bold letters it read: “DON’T DO DUMB THINGS”. It was simple, eloquent, and said it all—good advice for all of us. I wish Sarah Palin had met COL Sallee, or at least read his sign.

Hugh Betcha and the staff of Stoos Views have long supported Sarah Palin—for what their support was worth—in several previous columns. They defended her against her Democrat detractors, against the slander and libel directed toward her wonderful family, and against the mean-spirited, sleazy Letterman jokes about the rape of Sarah’s daughter.

Since her sudden appearance on the national scene, Sarah has been the darling of the Right—and many people in the middle of the political spectrum. She has many endearing qualities, including; strong family values, good morals, advocate of the unborn and those born with challenges, and a happy outgoing personality. But, unfortunately, she just keeps doing dumb things.

We all do dumb things, but we all do not run for President of the greatest country on earth. And, we who do not run for President, expect more from those who do. We expect a modicum of good judgment; comprehension of the great issues of our day; the ability to think on your feet; circumspection; wisdom; and the ability to lead with one’s brain rather than one’s chin.

Crappy Canada Free (and worth what you pay for it) Press strikes again.

At least this time they are not promulgating the easily checked lie that Laura Bush only had three staff members.

So what lies are you telling today Canda Crappy Free Press?

Five paragraphs and “William K. Stoos” is still rambling on so I’ll forgo bothering to click in to see what else “William K. Stoos” has to say.

cheer up chums, we have the highly competent Joe Biden waiting in the wings if anything happens to the marxist in chief. And Nancy Pelosi right behind him.

Yes, God Help us if the USA ever elects a lightweight as its leader.

I’m under the impression that the Canada Free Press is usually a good conservative site.

I’ve been impressed with it for years.

But this Stoos guy. Never heard of him. And I don’t give a care what he thinks of Sarah.

Prior to her going on the stump for Juan McPain - I'd have dismissed this article.

Now, I kind of agree.

Author talks about aiming a petard. Author needs to needs to understand his metaphors. See: http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+petard&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Yes, I am sure you were a big Sarah supporter. Going to Canada for health care from Skagway doesn’t seem to me all that weird if you understand the geography. As a parent they probably took their child to the closest doctor not the most politically correct. After all they had no way of knowing that another one of their children would run for public office as an adult. I just wish this idiot had picked apart Obama’s childhood just a little.

Let me guess: He wants us to run the author of RomneyCare against the author of ObamaCare! Talk about lose/lose.

Who is this guy? Did he ever really like Palin? Sounds like a fake and liar to me. Every criticism applied to Palin could be more aptly applied to many others including THE ONE. Sounds like an establishment type that should go suck wind. I won't vote for a squish like McCain again no matter what.

It was for her brother, and they couldn't get to a place in Alaska so they went accross the border, and they paid for it themselves. This was in the late sixties or early seventies, and national health care hadn't yet gotten out there. She was five when it happened.

BFD.

Good if you like being lied to.

They have no credibility.

A serial liar thinks you have to catch them in every lie, but only one is enough for most people to catch on.

Credibility is like virginity, once lost you cannot get it back.

Crappy Canada Free Press lies. I don't care how “conservative” they think their lies are, they lie.

I am less than impressed.

There are times when it’s good to leave them guessing. Too much self-deprecation can be a bad thing when going up against Chicago-style politics. There are lessons to be learned from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War especially when dealing with the Machine or the likes of Saul Alinsky.

If Sarah runs in 2012, we are doomed to defeat.

What do you mean "if?" You began the article with the main premise that she was running for President. Combine that with no substance to any of your complaints and this article is a FAIL! A thinly disguised hit piece. File 13 this junk.
