Dear God, This Woman Is F--king Stupid
Today, from ABC News:
"If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations," Palin told host Chris Plante, "then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media."You have got to be kidding me. Could this woman, who could be elected, and end up being a heartbeat away from the Presidency, be any dumber? She's making Dan Quayle look like a freakin' Rhodes Scholar.
She does not have a basic understanding the very document that she may end up swearing to uphold. She does even have a 4th grade understanding of the document that is the very foundation of our democracy. Worst of all, she has a degree in Journalism! A degree in the very field that requires the first amendment in order to exist.
Allow me to set Gov. Palin straight.
Dear Gov. Palin,
I realize you come from a small town in Alaska where the schools maybe weren't the best.... and you bounced around from school to school mixing in Beauty Pageant appearances going to community colleges here and there and finally finishing your degree, but you should consider requesting a refund. The purpose of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is not... I repeat, NOT... to prevent someone like you from being criticized, you dolt. In fact, it's quite the opposite. It is to guarantee that people like you CAN be criticized without fear of the government stepping in and silencing that criticism. Another word for it is dissent or perhaps to disagree.
No one is preventing you from saying the things you're saying, no matter how subversive, no matter how asinine, no matter how irresponsible... you can still say them... your freedom of speech is protected and you are, because of your current position, even given a forum to say as much stupid shit as you want. So give it a rest already and give us all a break.... and with hope we'll all see you GO AWAY after November 4. MORON!
