Tammy Bruce Very Excited To Be Sarah Palins Twitter-Twat BFF

Someone high-five Sarah Palin for me--Obama administration admits "mix-up", will remove death panels from new Medicare regulatio
A week ago, word came out that the Obama Administration were planning to install these “Death Panels” in Medicare Regulation. After people critized the administration acknowledging Palin was right about these end-of-life planning, The NY Times reports today that the administration made a “mix-up” and these panels will be removed. No, the mix-up is that it was politically stupid to implement this Regulation. The uproar was palpable. In other words, Palin and Conservatives ...

Sarah Palin proves lying can be very effective
Some folks on the right are excited about an article in The New York Times today reporting that the Obama Administration, in a sudden shift, has decided to nix those fabled "Death Panels": The Obama Administration, reversing course, will revise a Medicare Regulation to delete references to end-of-life planning as part of the annual physical examinations covered under the new Health Care law, administration officials said Tuesday. The Times bluntly notes that politics helped drive the Obama ad...

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

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...

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...

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 ...

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-...

HomoQuotable - Jonathan Capehart
"I guess we're supposed to presume that Palin supports the Repeal of the ban on gay men and Lesbians from serving openly in the Military. And I suppose by extension we should presume that she is down with gay equality. But it's easy to support something that has already happened and costs you little to speak out about -- even if it is in the form a retweet. DADT was repealed with 65 votes in the Senate on Dec. 22. "Palin had a chance to take a stand last November when her daughter Willow appar...

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...

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 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...

Overnight Open Thread
Welcome to yet another semi-half-assed hump day ONT. Adorable Video of the Day Here father-daughter duo Jorge and Alexa Narvaez do an uber-cute version of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros’ "Home." Good And Bad News For Obama The good news is that his Approval Ratings have risen back to 50%. The bad news is that midterm Approval Ratings are pretty much useless in predicting which presidents get re-elected. If Michele Bachmann Runs, Will There Be Bachmann Derangement Syndrome? Probably.

Palin effective again: Death panels removed from medicare regulation
- Jennifer of Cubachi I seem to recall some Conservatives and all liberals lambaste and ridicule Sarah Palin for the use of the words "Death Panels." Yet the provision was eliminated from ObamaCare. When Obama Administration revealed it was going back into the bill, the words "death panel" was revived and the administration killed the provision again. And how is Palin not effective in messaging? ...

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

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...

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...

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. Now th...

Considering Alec Baldwin, Candidate
Arnold Schwarzenegger is out of office just two days, but already there's another Hollywood prospect who could jump into the political arena: Alec Baldwin. Actually, he's been hinting at just such a prospect for quite some time, but he told Eliot Spitzer on CNN's "Parker/Spitzer" that he is "very interested" in seeking elective office. "We have had 22 years of Yale and Harvard running this country and the problems aren't getting solved," he sai...

Politicians go mobile with iPhone apps
Last updated Wednesday, Jan. 05, 2011 1:45PM EST A website, blog, Facebook account and Twitter feed have all become pretty much mandatory for anyone running an election campaign, but would-be politicians can now add another tool they'll have to get used to: the mobile app. Political apps aren't yet widespread, with just a few examples sprinkled across the country in the past year. But observers and campaigns who've created their own Mobile Applications predict they will soon be a requirement fo...

Bernanke to speak with the press
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will take questions from reporters next month as the Central Bank continues to ramp up its Public Relations operations. Bernanke will speak to Journalists at the National Press Club Feb. 3, and will take questions, according to The Wall Street Journal.  The move is the latest attempt by the Fed to improve its communications with the public, as it continues to face criticism from skeptics, including several members of the GOP, over its recent policy decisi...

Belarus under inspection for human rights violations
"The European Union may reinstate a visa ban on President Alexander Lukashenko and other Belarus officials, because of a crackdown on the opposition after December's presidential vote, EU Diplomats said on Tuesday. EU governments have grown increasingly concerned over Human Rights violations in Belarus in recent weeks that included the detention of opposition leaders and Journalists. In a sign of growing international outcry, Press Freedom groups also urged Minsk on Tuesday to free dozens of jou...

America Pressures Israel Plenty
Scholars, pundits, propagandists, and Journalists have created two dangerous pieces of conventional wisdom about the Middle East: that Israelis, not Palestinians, have been the main stumbling block to peace, and that the United States has failed to use its influence to pressure Israel for serious compromises. Both propositions are largely untrue. If uncorrected, these myths could make both Palestinians and Israelis feel irretrievably wronged and unwilling ever to negotiate in good faith. Israel...
