Sarah Palin Re-Tweets in Support of Gays

Sarah Palin confused about her stance on dont ask?
Palin representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday, but Politico said the retweet is a hint that Palin supports the Repeal. Gawker said Palin is not "in the context of her party, rabidly homophobic," then wondered if perhaps she didn't understand the tweet or pushed the wrong button. And the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart said Palin might really support the repeal, but he added "it's easy to support something that has already happened and costs you little to s...

Conservatives4Palin Throw Cold Water on Sarah Palins Supposed Twitter Support for Gay Rights
Earlier today, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin caused a stir with a retweet that many read as a cryptic indicator that the Mama Grizzly was poised to come out in favor of some Gay Rights. Prominent Palin fansite Conservatives4Palin.com, however, has swooped in to defend her honor, noting that Palin’s retweet of Tammy Bruce ’s sentiment, “But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already–the more someone complains about the homos the more we s

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...

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...

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 ...

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, Tammy Bruce Anti-DADT Tweet: Announcement or Trial Balloon
Sarah Palin forwarded a message to hundreds of thousands of her followers from conservative Talk Show host, Tammy Bruce (above). The message, in the context of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” that Palin re-tweeted: “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,” Is this a trial balloon, a big mistake, or something else? Palin’s sometimes uses unconventional or high-tech...

Palin's retweet on 'don't ask' raises questions (AP)
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Online pundits are trying to interpret Sarah Palin's stance on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" after she echoed an Internet post by a conservative Lesbian commentator who slammed the opposition to its Repeal. Tammy Bruce said Monday on Twitter that "this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already — the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed."

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...

Bachmann to Iowa as she considers presidential bid

Navy firing over videos raises questions of timing...
While many sailors aboard the ship at the time have defended Honors on Facebook postings - contending he was simply providing a much-needed morale boost during long deployments at sea - senior Military officials interviewed by The Associated Press said the videos were extreme and showed a disturbing lack of judgment. No leaders in senior posts at the Pentagon and in the Navy could explain why, if Honors' conduct was so questionable, he was promoted after the videos aired. Last week, the Navy sai...

The Military after DADT
In the eyes of the Military, Don't Ask, Don't Tell is not a gay issue, a witch hunt, or a Civil Rights or equality issue. Instead, it's a social issue with far-reaching organizational implications. Truth be told, the Armed Forces don't care any more about a service member's Sexual Orientation than they do about what religion he practices or the color of his skin. As in every other enterprise with critical responsibilities and a deep investment in personnel, the focus is on the quality and maturi...

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...

Going rogue, where rogue equals shallow
Posted by Paul at 3:13 PM Sarah Palin has "re-tweeted" a message from Tammy Bruce about the Repeal of DADT. The message Palin re-tweeted was this: "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." It is comforting to see a potential top-tier Presidential Candidate give voice (without critical comment) to such deep thinking about an issue pertaining to our National Security. I would like to believe that ...

Not Everyone Likes Being On The Same Channel As Sarah Palin
I hope my colleagues don’t mind being on the same channel as I, given that I don’t share many of their vies; but I am happy to have the platforms I have.

Huck Finn
From Yahoo - Acclaimed by critics, scholars, and — of course — readers, Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is one of the great American novels. The book has been reprinted countless times, adapted into movies, and translated into just about every language under the sun. But should it be updated for today’s times? News that the manuscript would undergo some changes sent shockwaves through the Search box. According to Publishers Weekly , NewSout...
