The political blogosphere has been roiled by Sarah Palin's retweeting a tweet by gay conservative and Palin supporter Tammy Bruce that seemed to suggest that Palin supported the Repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

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...

As they beat a retweet...
As they beat a retweet... Via Ann Althouse, I learned that CNN is all atwitter over Sarah Palin's retweet of Tammy Bruce's pro-gay Twitter: 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.

Tammy Bruce Very Excited To Be Sarah Palins Twitter-Twat BFF
Sub D-list radio personality Tammy Bruce who was briefly famous never twitter0twatted this thing about homo-hatin’ Conservatives: 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 about 8 hours ago via web …which was obviously a coded message from Lesbian Bruce to America’s Spinster Aunt, Lindsay Graham, telling him to look under his bed because Santa left him a Bieber treat or mayb...

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 Retweet Reveals A Pro-Gay Stance?
Sarah Palin stirred the Twittersphere Monday evening when she retweeted a pro-gay message by Lesbian conservative commentator Tammy Bruce concerning the "hypocrisy" of homophobic and anti-gay actions. "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," Bruce wrote Monday, reportedly about the dismissal of U.S. Navy Captain Owen Honors, following the release of a series of Controversial videos made aboard...

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...

Christie in 2012?
Posted by John at 2:14 PM This Zogby Poll is a couple of days old, but I didn't see it until today. It matches up leading Republican Presidential contenders against Barack Obama. The results are fairly predictable. At this stage, polls like this one are mostly a Referendum on the Incumbent, and in general, the Republicans fare slightly better or worse based on name recognition. However, as you will see, there are two notable exceptions; click to enlarge: Based on name recognition, Sarah Palin u...

Everyone's all atwitter at the Sarah Palin re-tweet of a pro-gay tweet.
"I think @SarahPalinUSA RT my tweet is her first comment on DADT, treatment of gays & attempts to marginalize us-thank you Governor." The original tweet, from Tammy Bruce, was: 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 ...

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...

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 ...

Pragmapopulism
Populist, “pragmatic” conservative Bill O’Reilly warns the GOP that trying to Repeal ObamaCare is not what voters want (some of that 2700-page assault on personal liberty is, you see, “good for the folks”) — that instead, what voters want is for the new Congress to focus on The Economy. Thus, per O’Reilly, a push to rollback ObamaCare is “a classic trap,” one that the GOP would do well to avoid. Behold: To which I say, simply, this: fuck yo...

The Specter of Minarchy
Since I wasn’t blogging over the holidays, I missed the online dust-up over Chris Beam’s big essay on Libertarianism’s moment in the political sun. What earned Beam the most pushback from Libertarians was probably the way he finished his piece: After briskly surveying libertarian thought, from Ayn Rand to Will Wilkinson, he concluded with an extended argument that “libertarianism ventures down some fascinating paths but usually ends up deep in the wilderness.” That ...

Palin Reportedly Plans Trip to the Holy Land
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is planning a trip to the Holy Land sometime this spring, New York Post columnist Cindy Adams reports. Palin’s Jerusalem visit will occur before the April 29 Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton, presumably to avoid the international media’s obsession with British royalty, the Page Six gossiper says. You must login to comment. The Fox Nation is for those opposed to intolerance, excessive government control of our lives, and attempts to mono...

Political Circus: Roseanne blasts Palin
Washington (CNN) - Politics is serious business, but not all of the time. From the halls of Congress to the Campaign Trail to the international stage, there's always something that gets a laugh or a second glance. Roseanne Barr - comedian, author, Political Activist and former star of the hit television Sitcom "Roseanne" - took shots at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin during an interview about her new book on ABC's "Nightline" on Tuesday....

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 ...

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." Palin's retweet of the post raised questions about her own stance on the Military's p...

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

The new format at WPHT sends Conservatives into a tizzy
Late last year, "1210: The Big Talker" a/k/a WPHT 1210 AM announced that they'd be doing a slight format change in the Talk Radio they present to Philadelphia and South Jersey. Just like a light switch, their format changed on New Year's Day and the station dropped Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity in favor of local guys Michael Smerconish and Dom Giordano. The problem is that Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are now, at this time of printing, no longer on the air in the Philadelphia market. This is the fo...

Poll: Virginia tea party supporters very conservative, very white
The poll included live interviews with 601 Virginians conducted between Nov. 29 and Dec. 8. It's the same poll that we told you about last month that found solid Approval Ratings for Gov. Bob McDonnell (R). The college released those results late last month and publicized the Tea Party results Tuesday. The poll found that those who said they agree with the Tea Party closely mirrored those who otherwise called themselves Conservatives when asked questions about issues. Like other conservatives, t...

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...

Barack Obama: Dependable as the sunrise [Reader Post]
Yeah sure. If there’s one thing you can depend on, it’s Barack Obama saying one thing and doing another. Most likely Obama will pound something like globawarmiatechange or Amnesty down our throats. And today was no different. Over at The Hill they told us that Obama was getting all bipartisany: President Obama, returning to Washington from his Christmas Vacation in Hawaii, urged House and Senate GOP leaders to put partisan politics aside in the name of working to boost The Economy. &...

A.C.L.U. Weighs In on Guantanamo
The American Civil Liberties Union is urging President Obama to adopt a narrow view of proposed restrictions on the transfer of Guantánamo Detainees - or to Veto a bill containing the limits because they are Unconstitutional. In a letter sent to the White House on Wednesday, the group argues that the restrictions, which Congress included in a major defense bill that Mr. Obama has yet to sign or veto, have a major Loophole that would allow the administration to continue to transfer Detainees ...

NY Times Flips its Whig Over Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-Ind.)
From a flattering profile of GOP Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who once upon a time ran the Hudson Institute and was in the Bush admin of all places: Mr. Daniels, who took office in 2005, has reduced the number of state workers by 18 percent and held spending growth below Inflation. He has raised the Sales Tax to help make up for a Property Tax cut. Largely as a result, Indiana finds itself in better fiscal shape than many other states.... He says he avoids using the phrase “waste, Fraud and ab...
