Palin DID SOMETHING VERY WRONG

posted by nigerachy1

I don't know what she did, but I know what she did.

This resignation screams BLACKMAIL!!!
That Sarah Palin resigns during her FIRST TERM, before formally announcing herself as a presidential candidate in some sensible time in 2010 screams that she has a skeleton or skeletons in her closet of Jurasic proportions.

She did something VERY Non-Christian and DOES NOT want it to come out. And even if you consider yourself a republican or a conservative, you can't be mesmerized to not believe the facts at hand. Not with what just happened with Ensign and Stafford, so-called family values politicians.

Listen, if Eliot Spitzer had resigned from his New York governorship last year without the prostitution scandal coming out in his first term I'd definitely think he was being blackmailed. I would not have been able to prove it, but I'd have a very strong conviction of his guilt because overly ambitious and power hungry individuals do not curb their ambitions or powers without being forced to do so.

Likewise, Palin did something very wrong and was blackmailed out of her office. Screw the righteous indignation. She's not a pastor, reverend, or priest and even those people have their falls. Palin IS A POLITICIAN and she did something she shouldn't have done, whether sexual indiscretion, monetary indiscretion or something else and now does not want her sin or sins to see the light of day.

Like I said I don't know what she did, but I know what she did. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence, especially when the circumstancial evidence is so powerful. Why quit in the middle of your first term as governor when you want to run as president in 3 years? IF YOU QUIT ON THE PEOPLE OF ALASKA IN YOUR FIRST TERM (without gaining any new public seat), why shouldn't the rest of Americans think that you won't do the same to them if you became president?

I'm sorry, she's done and for her sake, I hope whatever was used to blackmail her never comes out if she's smart enough not to attempt to run for president in 2012. That's thepoint of a blackmail, it's meant to force you to derail yourself. I hope she's smart enough to get it.

Something is rotten in the state of Niger (5.00 / 2)
What's wrong with Niger? Would it be offensive if someone had Canada in their handle? How about Denmarkachy?

Stupid is as stupid does (5.00 / 2)
Let's examine Hugh/Ken's confusion.

Niger is a country, it has two pronunciations: ˈnī-jər, nē-ˈzher, neither of which sound like the racial slur Hugh/Ken is referring to.

It is yet, another sad commentary of the Texas school system that he can't differentiate a word with one g and one with two g's, or understand that the origin of the two g word has nothing to do with the country of Niger.

Bless his heart, he can't help that he was thrown on the short bus of the American education system.

The writer IS FROM NIGER (4.20 / 3)
In reply to your first post he said he is "a black man who was born in Harlem, whose first memories were of Nigeria and first, river the Niger Delta [sic], and raised in Brooklyn..."

And he has replied to this post saying, "I'm literally Nigerian American, with my family being from Delta State in Nigeria, named after the NIGER DELTA."

Stop now.

You are retarded (3.50 / 2)

Do you even know my background, you douchebag?

I'm literally Nigerian American, with my family being from Delta State in Nigeria, named after the NIGER DELTA.

I came up with that nickname for an email account at age 15, I'm now age 24. You are barking up the wrong tree you sorry excuse of political correctness. If urbandictionary is the only place you get your facts then I feel sorry for you. Niger means niger. I don't need to be slick. Wake up.

And your blindness to the irony of you having a problem with my name on a website called the Young Turks is ridiculous. Again, I say, ask before you judge because you don't have a clue.

BTW, read the post.

Did I previously allude to you being smarter than KenTx? Well, forget about that. You are even dumber. Care to educate yourself on the etymology of the words you confused? Or rather join the ranks of said rednecks idolized by you?

In any case: what a cheap and sneaky way to alienate new posters by nagging about their usernames! You are still a pathetic creepy weirdo and you can't escape my relentless judgement by constantly changing your nick.

It's like saying we should be as afraid to talk about Niger as we are to use the word "nigga".  One is okay, the other is allowed on only one occasion:

Still, there does seem to be some dispute in the black community about exactly when it's okay for whites -- or even blacks -- to use the word:

Hmmm... Maybe it will be better for us whites to wait until you blacks have made up your minds.  I don't need any more problems than the ones I've already got.

Kicking someones ass is a more serious crime than calling a black person that horrible word---and I admit, it's one of the worst words around---terrible.

Lock someone up for saying that word? Well, that's just nuts. And in reality, it wouldn't happen.

There are a lot of variables, however.

No, I wouldn't want to lock someone up for saying the word.  But anyone white person who calls a black person a "nigger" -- or any black person that calls a white person "white trash" (I think we need to let them slide on "honky" because it's such a funny word) -- maybe should be put in protective custody for being too stupid to get out of the way of an oncoming bus.

When you turn into a black man who was born in Harlem, whose first memories were of Nigeria and first, river the Niger Delta, and raised in Brooklyn, maybe I'd listen to you.

Oh yeah, you're not that person, that person is me. If you have a problem with Niger, Nigeria, talk to the countries you overly PC jerk.

It's ironic considering you're asking me to change my name on a website called the Young Turks and we all know the name's historical background.

MY NAME WON'T CHANGE (5.00 / 3)

When you turn into a black man who was born in Harlem, whose first memories were of Nigeria and first river, the Niger Delta, and raised in Brooklyn, maybe the people asking me to changemy name would have a leg to stand on.

Oh yeah, you're not that person, that person is me. If you have a problem with the name Niger, Nigeria, talk to the countries if you choose to be overly politically correct. And if you think my name is questionable ask me where its origins are from.

It's ironic considering there are people quick to asking me to change my name on a website called the Young Turks even when they KNOW the historical background of the Young Turks Party's hand in promoting the Armenian genocide. Yet listeners realize that this is not the same name Cenk is referencing with the website's name.

Likewise don't assume you have a clue on how my name is pronounced or its background without asking me. At no point did I say anything racially tinged or insensitive. No, what I have are mainly non-black people telling me that NIGER is offensive. No- you're offensive, your assumptions offend me.

Exactly! (none / 1)
I was thinking the same thing immediately after I heard about it. It has to be blackmail. At the very least, there will come something up, a private or professional scandal that she hopes to escape or to minimize by resigning. And I don't think it is a mere financial misconduct in office or something like that. That sort of thing republicans usually sit out or ignore.

It has to be a gigantic mess.

Some thoughts:
*There were rumors about her youngest baby being actually her grandchild. Maybe someone has acquired proof of that.

*Video footage or sound recordings where she says or does something very unsavory (sex tape?)

*Willow Palin is actually pregnant with A-Rod's baby!!! (or some Alaskan methhead's)

Another suspicion arises:
Is there really someone who targets and takes out republican politicians? Is it some republican with presidential aspirations or is it a democratic hitman? Or is it even non-partisan action?

In any case: she is done as a politician after that major cop-out. But I still hope she will try anything on the national stage for our amusement.

Or maybe... (none / 0)

To me, this seems like someone who doesn't want the job resigning.  I don't see ANY evidence that it's anything more than that.  Does Sarah Palin REALLY want to be president?   Doesn't seem like it to me.  She won't bother to keep up with current events, let alone develop an understanding of history or come up with real policy positions.  I know she has a PAC.  I know the media have inferred that she wants to run for president.  But, Newt Gingrich has been running this scam for years.  Pretend to run for president so you can charge tens of thousands of dollars to give speeches.

 We know she hasn't even been pretending to run the state of Alaska since John McCain picked her as his running mate.  She's been touring the country stumping for candidates and talking to anyone that will listen.  She said that this is what she and her family want.  She said that this is what's best for Alaska.  I think we should listen to her.  Personally, I think this was a smart move.  Why should she fight through all these ethics complaints and do all that actual work when she could be getting  rich right now?  She doesn't want the job.  She's not smart enough to do the job.  She doesn't work hard enough to do the job.

Often, we get confused because the media is so terrible.  I've heard several commentators claiming that "this isn't like her" and "she's a fighter."  Based on what?  They didn't know ANYTHING about her before she was plucked from obscurity by McCain.  Since then, what has she done to prove she's this "fighter"?  McCain, a dummy who would've made a terrible president, can be correctly characterized as a fighter.  Well, at least when he was young.  We know it's in him.  But Sarah Palin is simply a dim bulb who lucked up and became governor.  I guess it's possible that there's some terrible scandal on the horizon.  However, I've seen enough of her where it does not surprise me that she quit.

I Don't Know, But I Know (none / 0)

I don't know what Palin did but I'm not buying this need to better position herself for 2012. It makes no sense whatsoever.

No political strategist would tell her it would be in her best interest to resign from Alaska after just over 2.5 years of service to Alaskans without having gained a better public representative seat.

She did something or something very terrible is coming and she's attempting to distance herself from the issue.

The news media has terrible memory, just a month ago she was in a fight to be the main guest speaker at a GOP conference instead of the eventual speaker, Newt Gingrich.

No, she did something, or a shit-storm is on the horizon and she wants to come out of it smelling like roses. That's not going to happen.

I mean, if you quit on Alaska, why should I believe you won't quit on America.

Shitstorms (none / 0)
Palin was in the middle of one when she ran for VP with the "Troopergate" scandal.  And when the Alaska legislature's ethics commitee found that she had violated ethics laws, what did she do?  She said that she had been vindicated.  Sarah doesn't care about shitstorms.

And when everyone in the world could see that she was unqualified to be a governor, much less Vice President, what did she say?  She said that she was qualified to be President.  She really does believe that.

But she's also very interested in money, possibly even more so than in acquiring power, although that's still debatable.  With Rush Limbaugh's support, she's gotten pretty far.  Without Rush, she probably would have disappeared into the dustbin of history right after the election.  But because Rush says she's wonderful, she's still in the limelight.

She's got a wonderful opportunity to make lots of money on the right-wing talk circuit or, more likely, on Faux News.  Still, I don't think we can rule out a run in 2012 if she doesn't get sent to prison for fraudulently billing Alaska for living at home, or for flying her children to political events, or for some other of her many acts of malfeasance.

If anything, we've learned that her dominant personality characteristic -- other than complete cluelessness -- is arrogance.

Palin Pity Party (none / 0)
In an Independence Day message to supporters, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she was leaving office for a "higher calling" and blasted the "main stream media" for failing to understand her decision.

"How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it’s about country," she said in a message posted on her Facebook page. "And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make. But every American understands what it takes to make a decision because it’s right for all, including your family."

Palin said her administration had "accomplished more during this one term than most governors do in two."
