Roger Ebert Reviews Sarah Palin’s Assault On The English Language

Neo – You should play with kids your own age.

First, I haven’t threatened anyone once. Certainly not “twice”. Nor have I said I hate anyone.

If Boscoe is who I suspect he is, he doesn’t rate an emotion as strong as hate. Disgust and contempt is about all I could muster for such an insignificant, pitiful excuse for a man.

To the blog owner, I apologize for going off topic. To neo, you shouldn’t try to interject yourself into affairs you know nothing about.

btw…glad to hear Ebert is funny. I’ve not noticed him as being successful at much of anything else.

I wonder what she feels when every time she makes a speech that hits the public, she lets out she is an idiot who cant complete a sentence?

This one is going to have to make a short list of times I stand with Ms. Palin. Language is written words and noise we use to communicate. Mission accomplished? Job done.

At a deeper level this presumed “gaff” reinforces her identity as opposed to an intellectual correctness–and by fuzzy association, political correctness–where form is more importance than substance. Failure to appreciate the number of people that feel connected to this has contributed to a too-easy dismissal of Ms. Palin. She has not only with the content of her messages, but by who she is spoken to a wide audience that mistrusts messages about global warming, the benefits of health care reform, and the “attacks” from the left on “freedoms” in the marketplace.

While Ms. Palin’s neologisms are good clean fun, her politics scare me to death. My view is that when we react in defense of our own linguistic sensibilities, we reinforce her greater message that the left is tied up in a reality protocol that is subverting the “Real America.” Defenders of the King’s English are welcome to refudiate my ideas.

And the “Bash Palin” beat goes on! Too funny.

The only thing I have to say about this one….when has ANYONE ever listened to Ebert about anything? If he pans a movie, I’ve always felt that to be a good indication I will like it.

Man, too funny. Palin bashing scrapes the bottom of the barrel (well, almost) with this one. I guess you could call her daughter’s prostitutes. (Btw…Kudos to Whoopi on that one.)

“If someone talked about my daughter, a joke like that, I would beat their a–.”

Paul – Good, logical comment.

Paul, I suggest you listen to a few of her speeches if you can find them. As the Fox Newsmen stated after a recent one, she cannot complete a sentence, is incapable of making a point amongst other tidbits.

I suppose using such a word once erroneously is ok, everyone makes a mistake. Obama misspoke once and said there were 57 states. George Bush didnt know English and spoke in tongues most of the time. So what? But when it takes her three tries to get a real word out, I think it becomes a problem of the mind.

This has nothing to do with the left, its about a possible presidential candidate with the mind of a toy soldier.

You can look forward to her tweets being monitored prior to them hitting the beach so to speak from now on.

Hank, how many bashed the Obama kids during the election period? Rush did many times. You are a great one for saying well if so and so did this, what about this person?

Palin deserves everything she gets. Just like any other politician. Stop crying like a sissy

Boscoe -Everyone has a tell. Particularly cowards.

So, if you are who I think you are, you get no respect from me. You are a despicable, cowardly, nasty little man that will do well, and remain healthier, to never again be in my presence.

If not, then I apologize for the error…..and I’ll simply say I didn’t defend anyone. I just find it humorous that anyone would consider Ebert an authority on anything. And using anything he might say as a reason to despair anyone is getting desperate.
