Sarah Palin stirs up another media feeding frenzy
AmericanThinker.com ^ | 27 January 2015 | M Catharine Evans

Sarah Palin is being smeared in headlines from the Huffington Post to the Washington Examiner for her 35-minute speech at Saturday’s Iowa Freedom Summit. In 2015, Palinophobia is as palpable as it was in 2008. After six years, the media still tears into the superstar from Wasilla like rabid dogs.

The Washington Examiner's Byron York called the speech "long, rambling and at times barely coherent ... By the time Palin finished speaking, it was hard for anyone to believe she truly is 'seriously interested' in running for president."

From Huffington Post: "Sarah Palin's Bizarre Iowa Speech Gets Thanks – From Democrats"

BBC.com said her speech was "all noise, signifying nothing."

John Fund of National Review Online:

... her [Palin's] meandering and often bizarre .... Sample line: “The man can only ride you when your back is bent, so strengthen it so America won’t get taken for a ride.” She will always be an entertaining speaker at conservative events, but she clearly lacks the discipline for a full-fledged campaign.

Fund failed to realize that Palin based her remark on a quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.: "A man can't ride your back unless it's bent."

“And whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent.”

Martin Luther King, Junior 3 April 1968, "I’ve Been to the Mountaintop Speech", Memphis, Tenn.

‘The man can only ride you when your back is bent. So strengthen it! Then the man can’t ride you! America won’t get taken for a ride, because so much is at stake.”

Sarah Palin 24 January 2015, Iowa Freedom Summit, Des Moines, Iowa.

Quite funny. The BBC, John Fund, Byron York, and so many other liberal intellectuals (phhhhht...) did not recognize a quote from Martin Luther King. Disjointed, bizarre, avante garde, improvisational performance art - poor MLK!

This is getting some traction on the blogosphere now, but this was the first piece I saw that recognized the quote.

She is sooo illiterate, that Sarah from Alaska.

What would the parasitic editorial and opinion writers do without Governor Palin? They have spent six years so far writing about nothing more than the fact that Palin is irrelevant and no longer worth talking about.

If anyone else said this the elite would think it was brilliant. Take a look at the State of the Union address and not say it wasn’t a disjointed mess?

Conservatives were able to follow her speech just fine. She hammered all the ones who are yelping.

Pray America is waking

In the run up to the 2008 election, Sarah Palin’s daughter’s boyfriend’s mother got more media scrutiny than Obama.

In other words, Soros and his minions in the media are still terrified of Our Sarah and what she stands for.

More reason to elect her in 2016!!

Good thing she’s living there, cause she’ll never live in the White House.

These morons on the left really need to GET A LIFE..get a hobby, volunteer at a homeless shelter or something because this is getting downright RIDICULOUS..all of this over a speech..a SPEECH that lasted what, 10 minutes..Obama had a disastrous debate, an actual DEBATE against Romney and he won re-election..I would consider a debate to be a little more important than a speech, one of thousands that candidates will make between now and 2016..these loons remind me of 8th grade girls, gossiping and smearing and trashing someone they are jealous of, its pathetic
