I'm not gonna say it, lest I get in trouble. But I think these two quotes, from the same interview, show exactly where she is really coming from.
Yeah. The difference is, one of them has your politics, and the other doesn't.
This woman is amazing, because she can have bullshit called on her in every single interview, and spin it on the spot, totally nonsensically... and she's so dumb she believes her own spin.
Now watch her go out and keep talking about Rahm Emanuel calling liberals "retards" and never say another word about Rush Limbaugh saying the same exact thing.
What an utter bullshit queen.
Palin also used her platform to continue a call for the president to rid himself of his closest advisers. On Attorney General Eric Holder, she labeled his handling of captured terrorists -- "allowing them our U.S. constitutional protections when they do not deserve them" -- a firing offense. On Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel, she said his comments calling liberal groups "f-ing retards" was "indecent and insensitive" and cause for his dismissal.
But the former governor went to great and sometimes awkward lengths to insist that when conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh used the same exact term to describe the same exact group, it was simply in the role of political humorist.
"They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh," she said, when read a quote of Limbaugh calling liberal groups "retards." "Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... . I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there."
