Liveblogging the Sarah Palin-Sean Hannity Interview
Posted by Lady Liberty on Monday, January 17, 2011, 7:59 PM
Sarah Palin sits down with Sean in an exclusive interview and addresses the anxious state of our union and the ridiculous charges that have been leveled at her by the main stream media over the Loughner shooting in Tucson, Arizona.
Sean introduces Governor Palin. The lies and innuendo that she has endured this past week have not affected her looks. She is her usual bright, beaming and upbeat self.
She was horrified to hear of the death of a nine year old child as well as the others injured and killed. She realized immediately that she, among others, was being accused of being responsible for this tragedy.
Sarah addresses the infamous “target map”. Says it’s not an original use for these maps, that the democrats do it, too. She feels that it was appropriate to take the map down from the website.
The left wants to “stop the message and destroy the messenger”.
Civility means being well-mannered . The call for civility should not interfere with our ability to petition our government for redress.
Sarah says that “A lie cannot be allowed to live.” She feels that she has an obligation to speak out against the lies being told about her. Being silent is not an option. “I will not shut up!” “If the left succeeds in shutting us up our republic will be destroyed.” The most frustrating part of responding to these accusations was being accused of “interjecting herself into the story”.
Sarah recounted that immediately after the Tucson shooting occurred she and Todd were contacted by many in the MSM asking for her thoughts. She refused to answer at that time, preferring to wait.
Sarah and her family, including her children, receive numerous death threats. Sean references the vile, leftwing comments, bumper stickers, cartoons, etc. Sean asked Palin, “The left hasn’t been very civil to you over the past year?” Sarah responds that she realizes there are “double standards”. That the “left isn’t listening to President Obama regarding his call for civility.”
Sean asks Sarah about Obama’s Tucson speech. Sarah: The speech had some good parts. It seemed to be more of a campaign rally; a campaign stop.
Congress “needs to get back to work!” It’s time to address rising debt, the energy crisis, and national security. “These things must be addressed immediately!”
Sean asks Sarah if she’s going to run for President? Sarah: “I’m not going to sit down!” “I’m not going to shut up!” For now I want to join others in peaceful dissent and discussion.
Sean: “Do you ever have a moment of doubt?”
Sarah: “I will continue to speak for many.” “I will continue to take the darts and arrows.”
-What a remarkable woman!-

“She was very useful to Israel”
ReaganTMan commented:
Sarah Palin will not be silenced. This will drive her even more to make sure everyone knows the truth.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Has Palin posted the maps that Kos and the DNC posted on their websites?
You know, the ones that put bullseyes on AZ and Giffords, because Kos and the DNC (not to mention the Tucson murderer) both thought that Giffords was an obstacle, being too far off the reservation to be a “True Democrat”?
If she hasn’t, then Palin is not taking full advantage of the resources available to her. This would not surprise me, as it has become more apparant each day that the establishment (even TEA Party establishment) is not fully aware of the power and reach of the internet.
For example:
This DNC map:

Or this DNC map:

Or the DailyKos “targets”:

If she doesn’t mention these, DIRECTLY, then I have to question whether even the best are making full use of the resources available to them. And I’ve been questioning that for quite some time in regard to “our side”. It seems the “proles” are more informed than our “leaders” and heroes.
Rhonda commented:
that woman is fearless, love her! Wish the rest of the Republican party had some Palin in them.
myohmy commented:
Go Sarah. Never shut up. Give all these lame media reason to officially make them insane.
zubismom commented:
Rhonda be fearless yourself. Expect the Republicans you deal with to be fearless as well. Go to school board meetings….stand up. You can make a difference also.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
If our “heroes” such as Palin can’t even use the strongest, most obvious arguments available — arguments that even the lowly commenters on righty websites can make — then what the hell are they doing?
You have a choice between a tiny zipgun and a laser-guided RPG, and you pick the zipgun, then you really don’t want to win the battle. Too many “heroes” on our side, when they get in front of the cameras on FOX or the other nets, or even on their Facebook pages and YouTube vids, choose the zipgun.
Are they unaware of the stronger of the arguments? The arguments that actually have a chance of convincing the ones who need convincing? If they pick the zipgun, then I would rather have Jim Hoft as our “Sarah Palin”, or a random selection of Townhall.com columnists, or Doug Ross, or ANYONE who is willing to come up with the “bazooka” evidence. Has Palin mentioned this:
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2011/01/the-face-of-hate.html
…in her widely-read posts and vids?
WHY THE HELL NOT?
“No, I’ll pick the BB-gun, instead of the weapon that might stand a damn chance.”
WHAT THE F., SARAH? And she’s better than ALL OUR CONGRESSFOLKS, in this regard. At least she picks the BB Gun in her arguments. The rest of the (R)s in congress are hesitant (or, more probably, in their bubble, completely unaware of the better weapons available, such as that, or Zombietime, or a thousand damning arguments that the lowliest posters at GP are intimately familiar with) to even pick a STRAW-WITH-SPITBALLS.
Something is holding our representatives back from using the truths that we all know by damn heart. And it’s a shame.
Oh Noes! commented:
She is a strong woman of faith in God, faith in America. Like she said in the interview this is a diversion to keep congress at a stand still, wake up America.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
All she has to do, to make a better argument than she has ever made:
“Sean, all your viewers have to do is type in “tinyurl dot com, and a backslash, and 4 l d q e e 4, and they will see where the hate is coming from.”
But no. That might actually convince people. So lets ignore the BEST EVIDENCE AVAILABLE, and go with something less convincing and more debatable.
Because the debate, and it’s continuance, seems to be more important than WINNING IT to these people. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THAT.
Paula commented:
Geez I admire the woman’s fortitude!!!! Taste the knightstick you wankers in the press!!!
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Same with Sean Hannity.
Does he want to win the debate?
Or does he want to keep the debate going indefinitely, so as to make more loot?
All he has to do is say “Folks, for the next ten minutes, I’m going to use our video feed and scroll Pamela Geller’s page at Atlas Shrugs, very slowly, so you all can see the hate emanating from the Left for the last 10 years.”
I think it’s the latter. Otherwise he’d use the best weapons available.
And same with every (R) in congress. And every talker, save for maybe Rush Limbaugh. They all want to keep the debate going forever, or they would use the best arguments available, which would mean using what, as I’ve said, the lowliest commenters on GP even know, and showing these evidences to the TV-watching public.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
It’s like damn pillow-fighting against a ruthless, murderous enemy.
And it’s sickening.
Mr. Potato Head commented:
The Left have laid their own trap. They have attempted to convince others that Gov. Palin is stupid, unintellectual, you name it. But she’s taken on the big boys before and won.
They set the level of expectations so low for Gov. Palin that even holding her own against a political opponent will be a victory. Anyone who has ever seen her in a debate with the supposedly superior minds knows that those who underestimate her will be in for a rude awakening.
ogee commented:
They did this for many reasons. The blogesphere is now saying MSN did it to get Sarah killed.
donh commented:
God Bless Sarah Palin. God damn every quisling Rino republican who embraces brotherhood with liberal blood libelers. Take down names of all republicans who hold hands in moral unity to the democratic barbarism waged against innocent american people.
right4us commented:
“If it wasn’t for double standards they would have no standards” – right to the bone!
As expressed above in various ways, if only more Repubs had her inner strenth and spunk to give it right back to ‘em if they’ve got it coming (as they so often do).
idesign commented:
Sarah is like the Buddha…….
Their arrows, turn to flowers at Her feet.
mikki commented:
So now she’s a martyr? LOL!! Obama’s speech at a MEMORIAL service was like a campaign rally? Siddown, girl. You are a joke. Come down off that cross and stop faking.
TheresaAK commented:
#19, She already told you Progressive Marxists who are trying to tell us to sit down and shut up, IT’S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
So get over yourself. You are the joke.
