Sarah Palin Addresses Wisconsin Protesters: You Must Be 'Willing To Sacrifice'

From the AP via the Huffington Post news wire:

Palin weighed in on the debate in a Friday night posting on her Facebook page but didn't indicate whether she would join weekend conservative counter-protests organized by groups including the Tea Party Patriots and Americans for Prosperity.

In the posting addressed to "union brothers and sisters," Palin says Wisconsin taxpayers shouldn't be asked to pay for benefits "that are not sustainable." She says "real solidarity means everyone being willing to sacrifice."

A bit more here.

Some observations:

First off, fuck you Sarah Palin, you fucking trailer trash piece of selfish narcissistic shit. Sure, you may be brilliant when it comes to self-promotion and marketing, but you know nothing about politics or economics. You disgust me in ways that continue to surprise me.

Secondly, there would be no budget crisis in Wisconsin if its Republican governor and GOP dominated legislature hadn't just passed massive tax cuts for the rich: it just so happens that Wisconsin's red ink virtually equals the amount of revenue lost in this suicidal move. This is a manufactured "crisis," which is now being used to bust unions.

Thirdly, state workers in Wisconsin have already made concessions, and are willing to make more. This fake "crisis" doesn't have a damned thing to do with whether Wisconsin's public employees are unionized.

Fourth, the entire reason we're seeing these protests is because Republicans are trying to ban public sector unions in Wisconsin. This has nothing to do with the state budget, nothing to do with "sacrifice" or any of that kind of bullshit. It's all about collective bargaining, without which unions would be pointless. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Palin doesn't understand what's going on. Like I said, she knows absolutely nothing about politics or economics.

Fifth, that Palin would refer to these demonstrators as her "union brothers and sisters" would be downright insulting if it wasn't so fucking weird. My guess is that the woman, as usual, has utterly no idea what she's talking about, but maybe it's code or something--I mean, I don't know what kind of code it might be, or what she might be actually saying, but really I shouldn't try too hard to decrypt the rantings of morons; it's like trying to find wisdom in the ramblings of Charles Manson.

Finally, Sarah Palin is a dumb fucking cunt who would be a hooker or a Dairy Queen cashier if she hadn't gotten into politics. That serious observers ponder her Presidential prospects is as good a testimony as any about how horrifying our political discourse has become.
