Philip Klein: An Elitist RINO Who
Doesn’t Understand Sarah Palin’s
Appeal to Real Americans
Posted on | January 12, 2010 | 16 Comments
Just thought I’d be first in line to make that accusation against my American Spectator colleague, who reacts to news of Palin’s Fox News deal with several predictions including:
Any conservative commentators who disagree with anything Palin says on Fox will be branded elitist RINOs who don’t understand her appeal to real Americans.
Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey has never disagreed with Sarah Palin and is therefore a great American. William Teach at Pirate’s Cove notes that the Fox/Palin combo is already driving the Left beyond the known frontiers of batsh*t crazy.

Personally, I look forward to seeing Palin on Fox.
And that’s all I’m going to say
January 12th, 2010 @ 5:24 am
[...] fun with Philip Klein – whose pre-emptive doubts about Sarah Palin show that he is quite obviously not a real American — I noticed that Hot Air's Allahpundit (also often accused of inauthenticity for doubting [...]
January 12th, 2010 @ 6:20 am
Well, I sure like herr!
I don’t even know if I agree with her or not. But Palin must be right on at least SOME issues, otherwise the left and the right wouldn’t be joined at the hip in an effort to discredit her.
This opinion is based solely on the premise that “if you’re taking flack from both sides, you must be over the target.”
But then again, I think the world would be a better place if both Hannity and Olberman were working the opposite sides of Checker’s Drive-Thru.
January 12th, 2010 @ 6:34 am
Personally, I look forward to Tom’s comments on blogs… not that he says much. [Nudge, Wink]
January 12th, 2010 @ 8:06 am
I sure as hell would rather watch Palin than Huckabee on Fox.
January 12th, 2010 @ 8:26 am
How much do the liberals despise Sarah? How much do the Rhinos want to see her disappear?
That might be a good measuring stick for the effectiveness of Sarah Palin who I would defend to the end.All those vicious attacks by liberals and false conservatives claiming Sarah is not intelligent….and those haters of christianity..look behind you.What have you accomplished in your life other than making posts on worthless blogs. Sarah is HERE and here to stay. Squirm you gd worthless parasites.
January 12th, 2010 @ 10:06 am
Chris Matthews says Palin does not know anything to be a pundit…
Let me make a prediction.
Palin knows enough to trounce Chrissy Tingleleg in the ratings.
January 12th, 2010 @ 10:26 am
Sarah Palin makes libs stupider crazy, that alone is all the socially redeeming value any person place or thing requires.
January 12th, 2010 @ 12:43 pm
I actually disagree with Palin on a lot of things, and everyone thinks I’m a RINO, so apparently Klein is right. It’s like if you want to cut entitlements and cut spending, you’re automatically a RINO.
Just for example, Adobe Walls says, “Sarah Palin makes libs stupider crazy,” even though Klein is a conservative American Spectator writer, not a “lib,” as Walls implies.
January 12th, 2010 @ 8:23 pm
[...] · Leave a Comment What will the teaming of Fox News and Sarah Palin bring? RS McCain has the news! Just thought I’d be first in line to make that accusation against my American Spectator [...]
January 12th, 2010 @ 9:17 pm
@Mitchell Blatt
Actually “Walls” was not implying that Klein is a liberal. I don’t think “about” Philip Klein at all, perhaps I shall start. Wanting to “to cut entitlements and cut spending,” (is that what you meant to write?) makes one a wonderful human being, not a RINO. The point of my post was that ANYTHING that annoys liberals is good, particularly if it makes them speak in anger. Point of interest, if you’re wondering whether or not you are a RINO then you probably are. After some thought you’ve convinced me to accept Mr. Other McCain’s characterization of MR. Klien.
January 13th, 2010 @ 12:08 am
Adobe, you’re confusing “crazy” with” giddy”, as in Palin on Fox is making libs “giddy”. The idea that she will repeatedly put herself out there for ridicule is a blessing.
Add to this the news, although not so surprising, that the dingbat from the North didn’t know what the conflict bet. North and South Korea is about, or that she thought( like many Conservative morons) that Saddam Hussein was behind the 9-11 attacks, and you’ve got a perfect storm of hilarity and good times.
Given the opportunity to refute these claims, she took the opportunity to not dispute them. Lucky that retards love retards because Palin can subject her viewing audience to her simpleton speak and her tortured “logic” with nary a complaint.
Of course, i just got the biggest laughs out of the folks over at C4P. Really, the only thing funnier than Sarah is her devoted robots.
Thanx Sarah! This year just got off to a good start!

Young4Eyes! Thanks for your response obviously phase one is complete.

Sarah Palin’s debut at Fox News is Intelligent and Eloquent…
From the first moment of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s debut as a Fox news analyst on The O’Reilly Factor last night, the deathknell began to sound for the Leftist meme that she is dishonest, not intelligent and not ready to be president…
January 14th, 2010 @ 10:29 am
She has the Left’s heads exploding – good enough for me!! LOL
By the way – the website is lookin’ good, man!
