the moron addresses the nut-jobs (updated)

From the Globe & Mail:
 
On what would have been Ronald Reagan's 99th birthday, Sarah Palin whipped up members of the burgeoning Tea Party movement gathered at their first-ever convention on Saturday night in a patriotic love-in that left little doubt about who most here would like to see on the ballot in 2012.

Chants of “Run, Sarah run” greeted the former Republican vice-presidential nominee after she delivered an hour-long address heavy on in-your-face conservatism that repeatedly drove Tea Partiers to their feet, waving American flags and copies of Going Rogue, the best-selling autobiography that has made Ms. Palin a millionaire.
“You gotta tell it like it is,” Ms. Palin told the audience of 1,100, each of whom paid at least $349 (U.S.) to hear the former Alaska governor rip into President Barack Obama's administration for using euphemisms such as “overseas contingencies operations” and “man-made disaster” to describe the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and terrorism, respectively.
Ms. Palin drew the longest ovations for her attacks on Mr. Obama's decision to try the Christmas Day would-be-bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in U.S. civilian court and failure to control government spending. The $3.8-trillion budget Mr. Obama tabled last week will make the United States “more beholden to foreign countries … it makes us less secure, it makes us less free. That should tick us off.
Regarding the treatment of Mr. Abdulmutallab, Ms. Palin delivered a blistering attack on Mr. Obama: “There are questions we would have liked this foreign terrorist to have answered before he [was] lawyered up and invoked our constitutional rights to remain silent. … Thanks to you, sir, we're going to bestow them on a terrorist who wants to destroy our Constitution.”
“I can think of two words right now that scares liberals: President Palin,” convention organizer Judson Phillips cried as Ms. Palin prepared to exit the stage. The prospect of Ms. Palin as commander-in-chief is a fantasy Tea Partiers are willing to entertain, even if most readily concede it may not come to pass.

The first question that comes to mind is how many empties of moonshine does one have to return to accumulate $1,100?
I wasn't even aware they had recycling projects in the banjo-pickin', cousin-marryin', less learnin'-more earnin' areas of the country from which Mrs. Palin supporters hail. 
While I suppose we should all take comfort the $1,100 spent on the conference admission will reduce attendees' ammo budget for the next few months, liberals are not the only ones who should be terrified by the idea of President Palin. All bipeds without feathers should be terrified of the notion of that arrogant know-nothing with access to the nuclear codes. 
Nothing would ensure the reelection of President Obama than running against Mrs. Palin as the GOP candidate which is why it will never happen. But we can dream... 

Update: As Jason so accurately points out in his comment, I confused the numbers in the article. It is not an $1,100 entrance fee, there were 1,100 attendees. My bad. I guess that leaves more money for ammo after all.

Are you daft? Get your numbers straight "moron." Of course, I expect you to erase this comment but... It is 1,100 attendees paying $349 for admission. Obviously you are so blinded by your bias that you only see what you want to see.

You, sir, are the moron.

At the rate Obama's going, the Dems will run a viable candidate against him in the primaries in two years, probably Clinton. Obama is toast.

Run a Cli'ton against Sayyid Sail Ears the Simpleton?

What a waste of (while you're speaking about) ammo!

Nope. 0zero's already done, dhimmicrats. So put a fork in him but leave the recidivist, treasonous, lying, looting, mass-murdering co-serial-rapist Billy Bubbah Blythes in the barn.

And run a yeller dawg'll do it.

Dude, you need to get some of your lefty winger friends to write something supportive. The comments already up are a pretty thorough takedown. Won't change your whacked out perspective ("empties of moonshine" etc. says much about you), but it might help hide some of your misogyny.

I bet those Palin-lovin' hillbillies don't even know how to pronounce corpsman.

I wonder if you will own up to your bigotry (" banjo-pickin', cousin-marryin', less learnin'-more earnin' areas of the country") as quickly as you did your confusion with numbers. Hope so.

You just did a great job describing President Obama.

Stubby, the intelligentsia (of which the above writer fancies himself to be a part of) pronounces it "corpse-man". Please revise your hick-tionary accordingly.

-- umm, no, they're a bunch of crazy-sounding people repeating talking points and patting each other on the back
