Sarah Palin's Re-Tweet Makes News

Did Sarah Palin just endorse gay rights? (The Week)
New York – Palin retweeted a column endorsing the Repeal of the ban on Gays in the Military. Does that count as supporting Gay Rights? During the recent fight over the Repeal of the U.S. Military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gays, one prominent political voice was silent: Sarah Palin. Now, some commentators think she may have lent her Endorsement to the pending DADT repeal, or even gay rights in general, with her retweet on Monday of a pro-gay message by conservative Lesbian talk-...

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...

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...

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 ...

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.

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 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.

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. Clinton Kelly at TLC, however, isn’t thrilled to be sharing his channel with Sarah Palin (via Mediaite). I wasn’t thrilled when I heard that Sarah Palin had an eight-hour Infomercial, you know, on my network because she basically stands for everything I don’t stand for or I’m against,” he said of Sarah ...

Sarah Palin and the Do You Think Shes Qualified? Debacle
Answering the question “Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to be president?” with the “Well she was born in the US and is over 35!” trope is a lame excuse for not answering the real question people know is being asked. Rick Santorum is the latest trying this duck: “What does it mean to be qualified to be president? She is born in this country and she’s the right age. Those are the qualifications.” - Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), in an inter...

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...

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.

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...

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...
