...things you say in the second clip (how Sarah's answer supported Hamas as a democracy but showed disdain for [at the time, at least] democratically-elected Ahmadinejad, etc.), there is one further detail of irony;  Hamas is in many ways a proxy of Iran.  So Sarah condemned Iran but supported an organization essentially operated by...Iran.

More than this, she would almost surely give just about the same meandering answer if asked the same question today.  "Democracy" and "protecting Israel from extremist evil" remain solidly at the core of any Conservative answer about American policy, so I don't know why her answer would change if Ahmadinejad had given his New York speech this month.  Now, however, an even further irony is that she believes our own democratically-elected President is a fascist because he isn't doing enough things in exactly the way she would have done them.  Enacting the policies of the candidate who got the most votes, even if you don't like his policies--isn't that what democracy is?  Sarah today would give a speech about how precious our democracy is, and then she would trash Obama for circumventing our democratic system, even though he has precisely _used_ that system.
