Sarah Palin, divide and (not) conquer


C4P are all ablaze with their webathon to retire Sarah Palin's legal debts. They're asking for e-mails from all the people who donated before the event so they can add their donations to the total. How would they show the webathon was a success if they're jumbling all the figures together? The final figure might be whatever it was BEFORE and the webathon won't mean anything, it could amount to some loose change, for all we know.

Much ado about nothing...

But what's really exciting is the feud between the two major Sarah Palin fan clubs!

Comments at C4P:

"Not a fan of the way TS is handling this. Sorry. I simply do not understand why they would not be enthusiastic about working with C4P or any other group with common goals on a project like this."

"Team Sarah is all about promoting Team Sarah, religious and conspiracy kooks! They do more harm to Sarah than good!"

"Hmm, TS took dwn my post containing the webathon email address. I think they want to help but are feeling territorial about it. They point out they would rather it be called the "sarah palin" webathon. As if it's called the C4P webathon now? Anyway."

"Yes. I am NOT one bit surprised. There have been thousands of us, who are extreme Sarah supporters, who have left Team Sarah because they are about Team Sarah MUCH more than they are about supporting her. I, and many others who would support Sarah to our deaths, have been ban from TS more times than I can count on both hands. That said - If I though for one minute Sarah supported even 1/2 the crap that's posted there I'd drop her in a NY minute!"

Over at Team Sarah:

Team Sarah is J E A L O U S

"I'm surprise you guys on TS do not have the web-a-thon C4P initiative on your home(front) page. We should be all in this together. If one Sarah group has a good initiative, lets all join together and promote it. Me think this way we can all make a united collective progress which the bottom line is to promote Sarah Palin and the views she represent. But your nonchalance towards the initiative has lead me to think TS is jealous. Consider?"

"I just talked to the Team Sarah staff and they said they will put it on the front page today."

So I visited the front page of Team Sarah a minute ago. Nothing about the C4P webathon, only this:

Appeal from The Alaska Fund Trust We received an email last night from the trustee for the Alaska Fund Trust asking for our help as they seek to retire the legal fees debt accrued as a result of all those frivilous lawsuits.

The direct link to the fund is here: http://www.thealaskafundtrust.com/donate/. We will be supporting them directly with our own banner and etc. (posted by their big cheese, Bill Collier)

I'm coming to the conclusion that Sarah Palin is not only divisive herself, as seen in the campaign, but that EVERYTHING connected to her ends in divisiveness.

Even her most ardent supporters are divided. Very soon they will be calling each other "haters"!

The C4Pee who called Team Sarah religious kooks has a point. This is a post from a member of TS:

"I am going to reveal a "God moment" I had on November 8, 2008.I was on my knees, praying for Sarah...the Media was destroying every aspect of her humanity: her career, her reputation, her family, her life. I was overwhelmed and physically shaken by the vast and devastating breadth of the Media's hatred for Sarah...the fact that the rich and powerful in the Republican Party turned their backs on one of their own...oh, Team Sarah you will never know how mad, frustrated and disgusted I was.

So...as I prayed, I asked God what do I do? Besides praying for Sarah...what can I do? She'd given so much from her Servant's heart...she'd fought so hard...she'd stayed so brave...and I felt so powerless to help someone that I had begun to think of as a friend. At that moment, I felt physically compelled to open my Bible...and folks...this is the scripture that my eyes fell upon:

May those who rejoice at my troubles be humiliated and disgraced.

May those who triumph over me be covered with shame and dishonor. But give great joy to those who had stood with me in my defense. Let them continually say, "Great is the Lord, who enjoys helping his servant."

Then I will tell everyone of your justice and goodness, and I will praise you all day long!

At that moment I was energized with hope and joy! I knew God wanted me to fight in Sarah's defense...I knew he wanted me to slip on my combat boots and dig in for a long, hellish fight. Folks...this battle is just beginning...but, oh, I do feel joy. I DO FEEL JOY...even in the midst of all the Lettermans and the Keith Olbermanns and the Arriana Huffingtons and the "anonymous sources" of the world....I do feel great joy standing in Sarah's defense!"

Be afraid, be very afraid!

Kathleen Parker, usually a conservative, wrote a column last week describing why Sarah Palin wasn't ready for prime time. Sarah lacks a solid organization and organizational skills, typical of a good leader. Her PAC couldn't decide on a store front to rent as their office location. As for staff, boxes of invitations greeted popular Sarah right after the election last November, and the invitations remained unopened and unanswered. Accepting, sort of, declining,the accepting dinner and speaking engagements were examples of an undisciplined group. So if Sarah isn't a strong enough leader to unite her different groups, getting all of them pulling in the same direction, she will be incapable of organizing a national campaign. People write that Jindal, Romney are already out (quietly) raising money and organizing while Sarah is bickering with a TV comedian. Way to Go, Sarah! Right On!

ROFLMAO

"I, and many others who would support Sarah to our deaths"

These people are ALL crazy. The last one there, the one who feels joy, is he/she equating Sarah Palin to God?

I am having a "God moment" right now. I am on my knees thanking God that McCain did NOT win.

Thank you Jesus !

Wow. No wonder the other members of the GOP think Palin is so disorganized & "not ready." Can you imagine what they REALLY know?

midnightcajun said...

Yes, I saw this today, too. These people are so filled with hate that I suppose it's inevitable they'll start hating each other. Although I think the Sea of Pee is just as God-obsessed as TS. They had someone on there today repeatedly intoning, "A bell doth peal forth, stirring hopes and hearts and summoning us to battle" like it was the response at a Catholic mass. Actually, I think the Sea tends to be Catholic, the Team protestant. (Mansour is Catholic)

The other thing that disturbed me was the Hillary supporters for Palin group on TS. Every time Obama does anything, they screech, "It should have been Hillary doing that!" What they're doing at TS i don't know; i guess they're all united by their hate and anger?

Did we all see that Senator Ensign is a Dominionist Pentacostal?

basheert said...

Actually Ensign is a hypocritical dominionist Adulterous pentacostal.

But he will remain in the Senate unless he received a B.J. B.J.'s are NOT allowed when you commit adultery.....
Stay tuned for further announcements.

You all have probably seen this Usmagazine story, haven't you?

http://www.usmagazine.com/news/rep-sarah-palin-phone-calls-to-jon-gosselin-not-true-2009156
or
http://tinyurl.com/mxyhnb

...where Meghan Stapletongue says vehemently (and months tardily): "For many months now, false and misleading stories and entire fabrications about the Governor's record and the Palin family have made it into mainstream publications," she tells Usmagazine.com in a statement.
"There have been many falsehoods and distortions regarding a range of topics, from the status of Alaska's natural gas pipeline and the Governor's restructuring of the state's oil taxes to sick and disgusting personal insinuations about Trig's identity, alleged fake sex videos, doctored photos, and even contrived stories about conversations with members of the Gosselin family," she continues. "It is all so very unfortunate. We can do better. We can and should focus on real issues, not fabricated issues."


Another exclusive, to another glossy celeb rag -- what a surprise -- that makes Esquire, Salon, People, and now Us. And, of course, they have the Anchorage Daily News firmly on a leash.

I think the ONE story Stapletongue is bitching about that WAS in a mainstream publication is the Conde Nast Portfolio story about the pipeline back in March.

Other than that, ALL the stories, pictures and speculation has been limited to the blogosphere: Our circle of Palin-specific blogs plus Huffington Post, dailyKOS, Wonkette, Crooks & Liars, NewsHounds: We Watch Fox So You Don't Have To, OpEd News, and the like.

Seems like another attempt to squelch free speech, to me.

"May those who rejoice at my troubles be humiliated and disgraced."

Ever notice how much energy is expended by these so-called Christians in relishing the disgrace and dishonor of their enemies? So "Old Testament" in attitude.

These people are stuck in the pre-Jesus era of Christianity. Jesus changed the old dynamics of the world but they want to stay with the punitive, self-righteous view of the Old Testament. Love thy neighbor and turn the other cheek, you silly hypocrites.

Helen said...

MidnightCajun you strike again with "They had someone on there today repeatedly intoning, "A bell doth peal forth, stirring hopes and hearts and summoning us to battle" like it was the response at a Catholic mass..." This struck my funny bone and had me rofl...

Regina, nice post once again. What if you weren't around to call them on their BS? Thanks.

ProChoiceGrandma said...

KaJo, thanks for the info from Usmagazine. I found this part particularly interesting:
“sick and disgusting personal insinuations about Trig's identity”
I thought all mention of Trig’s “identity” was forbidden! I guess Sarah will now have to fire Meg Stapletongue. I believe this is the first remark I have seen from Palin (via Stapletongue) addressing anything about Trig’s “identity”. Interesting. It’s getting a little hard to ignore, right Sarah?

GinaM said...

"Trig's identity"...what a strange choice of words.

get real said...

Still true now and forever:
Sarah Palin is a liar, hypocrite and fraud.

Anonymous said...

Well from the looks of things over there with the knuckledraggers, they and Team Pyscho have had a "come to jesus" moment and are now working together to pay off the bill of the Palin Clan.

Don't forget that Usually a Conservative Kathleen Parker wrote a skeptical article last October about SP, and she was bombarded but completely with hate mail. More mail than she's ever received about anything! Check that out!

I also note that the Pious On Her Knees Palinbot capitalized "Media" with a capital M. Why? (I think that actual sarcasm is too nuanced a reference for her...)

Anonymous said...

Love the "servant's heart" reference. Palin used that as "code" in her convention speech, and I recognized it right away, having been raised by Talivangelicals myself.

She's a master manipulator, that's for sure.

Jealousy becomes them. May they tear each other apart and implode. BTW - that's the scariest picture of Scarah I've ever seen!!!!

Anonymous said...

The reason for the "Legal fund" is she and her family took my trust fund that in 1989 had a cash value factor of 108.401500 dollars...

what they don't realize ( YET ) is it was federally insured...

so let her dump it in a NYSE account and other "Ritcher Investments" and on and on...

When I file my federal findings in a federal court then it will be all over then...

that is why Troopergate came about that is why alot of her "actions" have been about...

A reaction to my actions...

she is watching me and the feds "have been" watching her...

I wait and let the system work...

Next is the FEDS asking her why she had the local Palmer DA squash a rape/sodimy attempted murder case?

Or the snowmobile trip ordered by todd to "get rid of me" later reported...Feds know about that...

Or could it be the non-stop with no lost wages or any state services or even no child-support
with my folks urging me to "move"

Uh - guys and gals...

Can't kill what God created...

Can't kill what God consecrated...

Can't kill what God says...

and Palin tried and now she shall get "tried" in a federal court...

And all that happened to me was because I am worth alot of money.

Remember: when you are worth alot of money - people will do anything to keep it...

and they did for awhile...

got Frank to reverse the Statutes of limitaions in 2003 - then Palin adjusted it in 2006...

got Kennedy to take an aspirin and help a kid out...he had the President sign papers on service to country...and planted trees...

HAHAHAHA....

In God's time someone once told me.

they were right...

now it's my turn to show how to give to your country...

I did...

Now AMERICA it's your turn...

Turn up the heat...

Fry a political fish...(Palin)

I hear the Feds will be serving fries and soda with it....

Anon at 02:31: are you talking about $108 MILLION??? (That wouldn't be FDIC insured, though... They only go up to $100,000 (now maybe up to 250,000).

I don't know how to tell what Anonymous 6/20, 2:31 is. There are some interesting tweeks before they go off the deep end.

______The reason for the "Legal fund" is she and her family took my trust fund that?

( Does Sara or funds have a NYSE account and other "Ritcher Investments"? Why hasn't Anonymous filed federal findings in a federal court? When will they? )

______Why Troopergate came about?
______Palmer DA squash a rape/sodimy attempted murder case?
______...the snowmobile trip ordered by todd to "get rid of me" later reported?
______...could it be the non-stop with no lost wages or any state services or even no child-support?

______got Kennedy to take an aspirin and help a kid out...he had the President sign papers on service to country...and planted trees...?
HAHAHAHA....

The Sara people could be planting nonsense to distract. As it is, 2:31 must know that all they have offered is more confusion. Something actual to indicate what 2:31 wants to convey would help them if they need to let the public know. Why delay filing for a trust fund someone took? Anyone that wants to leave it at confusion is only entertaining. If anyone has info that Federal agents need to know, that needs to happen. If lives are in danger, ask for protection. If this is real Sara people would know who you are and could do you in before you can tell what you know. You'd be safer to do what you need to do. Don't wait until they strike first.

There is another comment @ Mudflats saying Kristan Cole's mother is an embezzler from Canada and Iowa. How difficult is it to find Cole's mother? Someone would have to contact the reporters that covered the embezzling stories to check that out.

basheert said...

So, I'll ask the question.

If what you say is true, and you plan to file a court case, than you have evidence.

I am inclined to believe that if you've filed with the Feds, it will take a long while. That's how they work.

But if you do have the evidence on your allegations, why post a thread like that? Too non specific, not clear, all allegations ....

I wouldn't expect you to put out anything you need to protect, but your post makes little sense and is very rattled and muddled.

I'll wait for further details.

It's my understanding that the fund is not to retire Palin's legal debt but to pay for a SLAPP suit on Celtic Diva to shut her up.

lisabeth said...

whoa Nelly......i just read the post above and it is impossible for me to figure out....either someone drank too much or is making up a bunch of stuff that makes no sense or both?

If it is real, my main question is who would have a trust fund that the Palins could get their hands on ?

onejrkitty said...

OK people, I think we have a nut case posting this.

First off,so you know where I am coming from, I have worked in the legal profession and went through 6 yr civil rights employment discrimination with Human Rights Commission against Chief Prosecutor of Alaska, Attorney General's office and Alaska State Troopers.

I think this person is mentally ill because much of what they are posting is not really coherent. IF they have a valid law suit going on, ESPECIALLY IF THE FBI are involved, then NO ONE is going to be leaking ANY information.

YOU DO NOT TELEGRAPH YOUR PUNCH.

IN LAWYERLAND, YOU DO NOT SPEAK OUT OF COURT.

I am NOT saying Palin doesn't have some kind of Big Secret, BUT what this poster is hinting at does not sound like something Palin is likely involved in even tho I personally--having researched and read about many narcissist, believe Palin could become physically violent before she "retires." ( Because her narcissistic supply is turning nothing but negative and she has no place to go to get away from the National Media Attention she brings on herself. When her delusions are shattered, she may explode.)

As much as I want there to be some great unknown "secret" that will topple her, I think taxes, the building of her house, eventual ethic complaints that even the personnel board cannot deny will be what brings her down.

Sorry, but this person does not sound like they are functioning on all cylinders.

DAVID LETTERMAN'S HATE, ETC. !

David Letterman's hate is as old as some ancient Hebrew prophets.
Speaking of anti-Semitism, it's Jerry Falwell and other fundy leaders who've gleefully predicted that in the future EVERY nation will be against Israel (an international first?) and that TWO-THIRDS of all Jews will be killed, right?
Wrong! It's the ancient Hebrew prophet Zechariah who predicted all this in the 13th and 14th chapters of his book! The last prophet, Malachi, explains the reason for this future Holocaust that'll outdo even Hitler's by stating that "Judah hath dealt treacherously" and "the Lord will cut off the man that doeth this" and asks "Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother?"
Haven't evangelicals generally been the best friends of Israel and persons perceived to be Jewish? Then please explain the recent filthy, hate-filled, back-stabbing tirades by David Letterman (and Sandra Bernhard and Kathy Griffin) against a leading evangelical named Sarah Palin, and explain why most Jewish leaders have seemingly condoned Palin's continuing "crucifixion"!
While David, Sandra, and Kathy are tragically turning comedy into tragedy, they are also helping to speed up and fulfill the Final Holocaust a la Zechariah and Malachi, thus helping to make the Bible even more believable!
(For even more stunning information, visit MSN and type in "Separation of Raunch and State" and "Bible Verses Obama Avoids.")
