A Few Brief Thoughts on a Sarah Palin ReTweet
As you can tell from my previous post about the USS Enterprise situation a Palin ReTweet of one of my Tweets seems to have become another story unto itself. I’ve been getting tons of emails asking me to expand a bit on what I think the RT means. So, in this post I’m going to expound briefly on what I think Governor Palins’ intention was and my assessment of her in this context. For those who don’t Tweet, a little explanation-when I tweet something other people on Tw...

Sarah Palin's Re-Tweet Makes News
Sarah Palin is obviously an amazing media phenomenon, evidenced by the fact that she can make news simply by re-Tweeting something. (Re-tweeting is when you take something one person tweeted, and essentially forward it on to your network of Twitter followers). In this instance, Palin re-Tweeted something originally sent out by gay conservative radio host Tammy Bruce, angered by Republican opposition to the Repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, wrote: "But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf ...

Palin re-tweets DADT message
A retweet from Sarah Palin is burning up the blogosphere today -- one which seems to imply that she supports repealing"Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Tammy Bruce, a conservative Talk Show host, wrote the initial series of tweets. I'm focused on economic issues, and you may have noticed I was being quiet about DADT because that's not our most pressing issue... But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already--the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed. Pa...

Palin Retweets Anti-DADT Comment
CNN reports: Normally, it’s what Sarah Palin tweets that makes news. This time it’s what she has re-tweeted. The former Alaska Governor Monday relayed a comment from gay conservative pundit Tammy Bruce, who was expressing her criticism over continued Republican opposition to the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Military policy that won congressional Repeal late last month. Now the political world is wondering just what Palin meant to express. “But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. E

Does Palin Support DADT Repeal?
In a retweet last night, Sarah Palin suggested that she supports Repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Palin retweeted this message from gay conservative Tammy Bruce: “But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already-the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed.” Before tweeting that, Bruce was tweeting about the video made a Navy officer that included gay slurs and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Following Palin’s re...

Sarah Palin On Twitter Hints At Support Of DADT Repeal, Gay Rights
Conservative radio host and proud Lesbian Tammy Bruce joined the discussion about Navy Capt. Owen Honors and his controversially homophobic videos shown to his Navy crew, by tweeting, “But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already-the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed.” Sarah Palin, who has not spoken out on the issue of “don’t ask don’t tell” or any gay issue really, re-tweeted Bruce’s messag...

Tammy Bruce: Palin isn't a culture warrior
Conservative Talk Show host, Tammy Bruce, writes a long response to the media storm over Sarah Palin's retweet on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Bruce isn't entirely sure what Palin's retweet meant, but she is certain of one thing -- that Palin is, above all else, a "policy wonk." When it comes to Sarah Palin’s position on DADT, I have never asked her about it and she has never spoken to me about it-but I assess her as a Conservative with Libertarian influence. Both her husband and son a...

Sarah Palin Re-Tweets in Support of Gays
ABC News’ Devin Dwyer reports:   Sarah Palin has been conspicuously quiet in the debate over “don’t ask don’t tell” and on a Repeal of the policy President Obama signed into law before the holidays.  By most accounts, she has never actually weighed in at all. But Monday night the former Alaska Governor re-tweeted a post from conservative Talk Show host and blogger Tammy Bruce, who is Lesbian, appearing to indirectly cast support for gays and an end to the b

Retweet Of The Day - Sarah Palin
Today the Quislings at GOProud are proclaiming Sarah Palin as a supporter of LGBT rights because yesterday she re-tweeted a comment on DADT by nutjob radio host Tammy Bruce. GOProud remains silent, however, on this passage from Palin's latest book: "When it comes to raising good citizens, all 'lifestyle choices' are not equal." Yeah, she's a real fucking hero. (BTW, the format of this tweet is odd because Tammy Bruce has blocked me from seeing her Twitter stream.) Labels: GOProud, kapos, Quisl...

2012: Palin Out Of The Closet On Gay Rights?
Typically, it’s the inane and often incoherent ramblings that former 1/2 term Alaska Gov. and GOP superstar Sarah Palin tweets that makes news. This time it’s what she’s re-tweeted that has people re-thinking where she stands on a social issue still dear to many on the Far Right. On Monday, Palin relayed a comment posted by gay conservative pundit Tammy Bruce, who was expressing her frustrations with the smoldering bits of GOP opposition ...

Dem Pollster: Huckabee Is The GOP's Best Bet In 2012 -- So Far
If Republicans had to choose their Presidential Candidate today, they'd probably do best to pick former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, according to Public Policy Polling's Tom Jensen. However, Jensen notes that Huckabee isn't necessarily a good choice, but merely the most viable contender the GOP has right now. Jensen's argument is essentially twofold. First, Huckabee is far more electable than Newt Gingrich or Sarah Palin. And second, the GOP's Conservative Base is way more enthusiastic about H...

Palin hints she's for 'don't ask' repeal
Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin – whose lips have been sealed about the recent Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” – is now hinting that she supports the move. Palin has not spoken publicly about the end of the ban on gays serving openly in the Military, but she appeared to show support for the change via a retweet on Monday night of a gay conservative radio host.

The Re-Tweet heard round the conservative world
Its been a tough couple of weeks for the gay-loathing “social conservative.” First they have CPAC laying the law down, calling a Boycott’s bluff by letting GOProud remain at the event and now this. The darling of many on the right and a far chunk of the Tea Party movement has caused a stir by a simple re-Tweet on her Twitter account. (Re-Tweet for those not Twitter au fait, means forwarding a Tweet by someone else to all your followers.) Palin re-Tweeted a comment from Tammy Br...

Is Sarah Palin Pro-Homosexual?
(CNN) - Normally, it’s what Sarah Palin tweets that makes news. This time it’s what she has re-tweeted. The former Alaska Governor Monday relayed a comment from gay conservative pundit Tammy Bruce, who was expressing her criticism over continued Republican opposition to the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Military policy that won congressional Repeal late last month. Now the political world is wondering just what Palin meant to express. “But this hypocrisy is just truly ...

Sarah Palin seemingly tweets in support of gay rights
It did not take long for Sarah Palin to jump back into the headlines via her Twitter account in 2011.  This time the press is talking about a "retweet" of Palin.  For those unfamiliar with "retweets", if a Twitter user likes a "tweet" from another user they can retweet to their own webpage.  It is the Twitter way of rebroadcasting something one agrees with or finds interesting.  Palin is a very active Twitter user, and she normally retweets material which criticizes the Obama...

Sarah Palin fails to lead on gay equality
Will the GOP House attack science, after all? Sarah Palin is getting some mileage out of retweeting a pro-don't ask, don't tell Repeal message from Tammy Bruce. "I'm focused on economic issues, and you may have noticed I was being quiet about DADT because that's not our most pressing issue," the Openly Gay radio host tweeted Monday. "...But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. [Enough] already -- the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed." So, I guess w...

Sarah Palin Supports "Homos" in the Military, Or Accidentally Retweeted Tammy Bruce
​Sarah Palin's largely indecipherable Twitter account was again shrouded in mystery last night when a cryptic RT of a message from conservative gay comedienne Tammy Bruce showed up in the former Governor's feed. "But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already--the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed," [sic] Bruce wrote. And though some Twitter users contend that a retweet does not indicate support, Bruce thinks Palin used the tweet to r...

A call in France to end 35-hour work week
PARIS, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- The mayor of a Parisian suburb, a potential Presidential Candidate, has called for an end of the 35-hour work week in France. Manuel Valls, mayor of Every, is pushing for the change so French workers can "Work more in order to work better," France 24 reported Tuesday. In a Radio Interview, Valls, seen as a strong contender in the race to serve as presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party, said in a radio interview: "The world is changing fast, and it is the responsibi...

DADT opponents impugn Conaways prediction of segregation in military based on sexuality
Rumors of Bill Richardson replacing Hillary Clinton as U.S. Secretary of State exploded across the Internet Monday and appear to have been started by a report from Examiner.com and have been falsely attributed to Washington Examiner — which is unrelated to Examiner.com — by Fox News, among other outlets. Fred Karger is not your typical Republican Presidential Candidate. He has never held elected office, spending his life behind the scenes as a consultant for other Candidates. When qu...

Navy captain loses command over raunchy videos
By David Morgan WASHINGTON | Tue Jan 4, 2011 4:47pm EST WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The captain of a U.S. Aircraft Carrier was relieved of his command on Tuesday after producing bawdy videos that featured slurs against Homosexuals, simulated Masturbation and inane toilet humor. Captain Owen Honors, who made the videos several years ago while serving as the USS Enterprise's second-in-command, was removed from the nuclear-powered carrier and reassigned to administrative duties. Admiral John Harvey, ...

Del. Marshall says McDonnell is wrong on 'don't ask don't tell'
James P. Moran Jr. What Is Right for Virginia? Del. Bob Marshall said on FOX & and Friends Tuesday that fellow Republican, Gov. Bob McDonnell, was wrong to say that gays can't be banned from the Virginia National Guard even though the Federal Government repealed the 17-year-old federal ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. "The Governor's making an assumption that is not factually correct," Marshall said. "We can have different policies. This is a separate unit. When you join the U.S. Army...you don'...

Official: Navy officer to be relieved of command
NORFOLK, Va. — A high-ranking Navy officer who produced and showed raunchy videos to the crew of an Aircraft Carrier three or four years ago is expected to be relieved of his command of the ship, defense officials said Tuesday. A senior defense official said the announcement on Capt. Owen Honors of the USS Enterprise was expected Tuesday afternoon.
