The good old boys just don’t get it.
Jason Mattera of Human Events, captured Georgia Congressman John Kingston this morning giving a sexist and blatantly stupid tirade against Sarah Palin for her endorsement of Karen Handel who lost a very close primary in Georgia last night.
Appearing on “America’s Morning News” with John McCaslin and Amy Holmes, Georgia Republican Rep. Jack Kingston urged Sarah Palin to stay clear of endorsing candidates in the primaries. “What she’s doing is dividing the Republican Party at a time when we don’t need to be divided…
He continued: “Karen Handel is a very decent candidate, but she’s clearly the more moderate person in the race.” Asked by the talk-show hosts if Palin should just butt out of primaries in general, Kingston replied, “I wish she will.”
“Everyone in the [Georgia gubernatorial] race was solidly conservative, and Sarah Palin comes in and endorsed the moderate,” Kingston said. To some, Handel is perceived insufficiently conservative on social issues involving abortion and child adoption by gay couples.
Last time I checked, Mitt Romney endorsed Karen Handel as well, yet Kingston’s rant was targeted to Sarah Palin. What is his problem with a strong woman endorsing another strong and capable conservative woman? It is suspect that Kingston just singles out Sarah Palin for this inane commentary.
This is the problem with the establishment GOP. They have a foot-in-the-mouth disease when it comes to conservatives. Kingston is either jealous that Sarah Palin did not endorse him, or he’s just that stupid. Erick Erickson of Red State, a conservative stalwart, endorse Karen Handel. Does Kingston think he’s a mushy moderate?
I hope conservatives will condemn this rant by Kingston. Really, to single out a woman out of all the conservatives that endorsed Handel is beyond the pale.
For those of you who don't know, Kingston is in the GOP leadership in the House. (It shows how badly a shakeup is needed there.) According to his Wiki Biography, Kingston is a frequent guest on shows such as The Colbert Report, HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, and TV news shows. So slamming Palin will win him friends among that crowd.
His rant is in the following clip:

It begins at 3:55 of the clip.
He says Palin shoots from the hip and that it hurts Sarah Palin. He sounds like Jimmy Carter to me.

Oh wait, you said he didn't? No one from the establishment said s--t when Palin did that? Just the GA crickets singing in the moonlight?

Don’t know about the rant; but Sarah’s ‘hand’ not always a guaranteed blessing. That said; it may be her MO that has riled him; but always liked Jack Kingston.
Let me help make your links LIVE:

“Dividing the Republican Party” isn’t what’s needed; “Dismantling the Republican Party” is what needs to be done.
I want to thank all of my friends, supporters, volunteers and my campaign team for a tremendous effort over the last 16 months. We ran a terrific campaign, beat the odds to come in first place in the Primary, and came so very close in the runoff election.As of this morning, we are four tenths of a percentage point behind Nathan Deal with absentee ballots and overseas military votes yet to be counted.
We certainly have the option of requesting the automatic statewide recount. But we are not going to do that.
The best thing for our party is to rally around Congressman Deal as our nominee in the fight against Roy Barnes. Barnes would return Georgia to a past that is best kept in our rearview mirror. We must marshal all of our resources to defeat him.
I spoke with Nathan this morning and let him know that I endorse his candidacy and look forward to the fight against Barnes. I have also called on all who were supporting me to give their same.
Karen Handel, this morning, August, 11, 2010.
Thanks for the assist, Onyx!
Why can't he be both.
Very classy concession by Karen Handel. Once again, Palin proves to be a superlative judge of character.
The RINO’s are very worried about their control of the party
So the loser who wrote this piece is saying that because Kingston didnt mention Romney that his mentioning Sara was sexist? Are we going to start acting like democrats now and accusing people of isms if they dont like who we like?
It's a primary. We get behind the winner. No 3rd party this time. Its too important and very urgent.

They should be. We're taking it back.
Not only did Kingston not criticize Palin for stumping for Chambliss, he appeared on stage with her at the rallies. He was a speaker in at least one of the rallies.
Oh wait, you said he didn't? No one from the establishment said s--t when Palin did that? Just the GA crickets singing in the moonlight?
Here's the difference: Palin stumped for Saxby in the general election runoff. Some people are having a problem with Palin endorsing candidates in the GOP primaries and those runoff elections.
I don't. Some do...and while I feel certain that she can mend fences with Deal and would stump for him against the former Democrat Governor Roy Barnes in the general election if asked, it appears that she's ticked some Republican voters off.
Go figure.
“I don't think you can really tie the Palin and Handel one together. But for Palin, Handel probably would not have gotten into the runoff, and had she been able to come to Georgia this past Friday instead of Monday, Handel probably would have won,” said Erick Erickson, the founder of RedState and a longtime Georgia politico.
