The Heartbreak of Palin Derangement Syndrome.

RESIZE: AAA

It’s sad that this needs to be brought up, but it must: it would appear that the Netroots – as per their continuing habit of acting as if the American political system was identical to a pre-Giuliani Times Square peep show emporium – has gotten themselves in a bit of a scrape, again.  Specifically, they spent several cheerful hours hooting and hollering over the way that THAT WOMAN suggested that the Tea Party not “party like it was 1773″ before they noticed that… well, that the Boston Tea Party was in, well, 1773.

A couple of things: first, this storyboard; which is both cruel and accurate.

Second, while I understand and expect that your average online progressive blogger has about much awareness of American history as, say… Oh, this is awkward.  An online progressive blogger would be the actual yardstick for ‘abysmally ignorant about American history.’  Nonetheless, while I understand that the Online Left is dumb… really, Gwen Ifill.  You’re supposed to be one of the bright talking heads.

Tsk, tsk.

PS: THAT WOMAN is LAUGHING at you, netrooters.  And you DESERVE it.

    ….is just a half step removed from the guy in Shelton who was recently caught in the stable fornicating a horse.

    If you went to the finest Ivy league colleges (never-mind that you barely graduated). If you are part of the “OH so Chic” liberal zeitgeist, then you cannot imagine that a simple journalism student, from a state college no less, who is (OMG!) a christian, of all things! Can ever be right about anything.

    There is no critical thinking, no research or evidence, involved. These people HAVE to hate Palin and the right wing, Because their very existence depends on them being superior to such people.

    was the person who moderated the VP debate. And now she’s mocking SP for being right.

    If we needed more proof that Palin has rooted in the brains of these people, we have it now. Heh.

    They plowed through a fifth ofChristine O’Donnell’s First Amendment last night.

    It’s only natural that they would guzzle a bottle of Sarah Palin 1773 today without checking the label.

    or NPR. No conservative should. No matter how much one may enjoy Celtic Woman.

    I went back and searched for the phrase, Party Like It’s 1773, because I knew I’d heard it since at least April of 2009.

    Here?s a post by Dana Loesch dated February 19, 2009:

    Party Like It?s 1773 with the New American Tea Party

    Rick Santelli called for another Tea Party on February 19th, 2009.

    I don?t know if Dana invented the slogan, but as you can tell it goes back at least as far as one week after Santelli lit the match.

    If they?d been paying attention, they?d have known Sarah Palin was reminding Tea Partiers of one of their common signs!

    Dana Loesch’s column was on February 25, 2009–six days after Rick’s Rant!

    Saw them in concert last month here in Prescott Valley, AZ. But you can get their CD’s and DVD’s cheap in Costco and not have to send the Commies at PBS a red dime!

  • Adjoran

    On her resume, or in her autobiography?

    You don’t have to start out stupid to be a leftist. Gullible is good enough. But you will have to dumb yourself down pretty quickly to reconcile the inconsistencies in their philosophy, not to mention tolerate your new colleagues.

  • tngal

    Yeah next time they play that game on twitter, maybe they should avoid the American History category. Stick with Flowers that begin with P.

    thanks

  • cpa2222

    Failed history, economics, accounting, table manners, and ROTC–so what DID they pass? You suggested flowers beginning with a “p.” Maybe, “famous holes in the ozone” or “we will always have the polar ice caps to remember” or “honorable leftist politicians (easy A).”

  • edintexas

    Who is she? Oh, wait. Is that the group which advertises on TV and they don’t seem to understand there is more than one woman? :-)

  • whimsley

    Would someone please answer?

  • miroco

    Sorry pal, no getting around it, I LOVE YOUR WIFE!!!
    I come from a time the perfidy of such a statement would not raise an eyebrow—I also love your family. Confession, I come from a time where there exists a bit of discomfort admitting I —- you. Please keep her going and know there are gazillions of us who love y’all!

    Sorry, couldn’t resist…mea culpa, mea culpa, I will attempt to explain as best I can. Since the practice predates my registration at RS, I may be wrong on some particulars, but as it has been explained to me:

    At one time RS had a comment quality rating system with 5 being the highest rating. That system is no longer in use, but the 5′s remain as an expression of approval of one sort or another.
