Palin, Bachmann On Hannity: Palin Blasts Obama Nuclear Strategy, Defends Michael Steele, Talks 2012 Election (VIDEO)

First Posted: 06/07/10 06:12 AM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 05:05 PM ET

Sarah Palin joined a campaign rally for Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) in Minneapolis on Wednesday. As reported earlier in the Huffington Post:

Palin called Bachmann a "fireball" with a "stiff spine" in a speech that was as much about helping the fiercely conservative Minnesota congresswoman win re-election as it was about chastising the Obama administration.

Palin criticized President Obama and politicians in Washington for the growth in the size of government and, as she put it, becoming addicted to "O.P.M. -- other people's money."

Bachmann got in on Obama bashing too, saying that in past 18 months we've seen "nothing less than an economic coup transpire before our eyes."

Then the pair took the national stage on Fox News with host Sean Hannity.

The lengthy televised conversation touched on a number of familiar themes, but three stood out: Palin attacking Obama's nuclear strategy, Palin defending embattled RNC Chairman Michael Steele, and Palin remaining noncommittal about the 2012 presidential election.

I don't fear for the future of our nation because these women are allowed to deliver their message - they have as much right to their crazy opinions as anyone else does. What bothers me is that they have people that listen to them and agree with them.

It's morally reprehensible to decide not to use nuclear weapons, and to instead use diplomacy? These two act like our first response to every  Read More...

The Twit has nothing in her background that gives ANY indications she knows jack about foreign policy. She rails on with the same 2-3 Grover Nordquist talking points, when in reality if she sat down on a Sunday show and had to debate these same issues she would fold like tissue paper. Her whole spiel since the convention has been through innuendo to paint Obama as less American. The most hateful demagogue in this country since George Wallace. Fear and hate is a big seller on the Right.

Thanks for this one, postman. I particularly like your analogy of Governor Quit
to George Wallace. Wasn't he kinda like a secessionist, too? One who really
wants to understand Palin should read the background of her relationship with
those dudes influential in the Alaska Secessionist Party (forgot what they call
themselves). You can see the threads of the tangled tapestry which forms her
"world view," and a type of power play which is scarier than anything Alinsky
could have ever dreamed.

If Americans don't want to risk having other nations use chemical or biological weapons against them, then STOP making them and then selling them to them! Problem solved.

You could also consider radically overhauling your destructive foreign policies, so that you don't make enemies in the first place.

AnnfromCa,

You wonder why we talk about the ex-basketball, beauty queen, governor?

She allows us to have a laugh and take a brief respite from the serious business of trampling you cons. at the polls.

Soon, we will start our phone banks and our footbeats and perhaps you'll see me in your neighborhood since I'm in California Too. By the by, have you heard about our wonderful
candidates, Brown and Boxer.

I promise you they believe in fair treatment for all without ethnic or religious bias.
Both can keep their peepers out of other people's bedrooms.
They care not if Harry meets Sally or Harry meets Harry
Neither would cross the street to see a bondage show
Neither lies nor cheats
Both can read and write.
Both know where Russia is
Both know what Africa is
When asked what they read, both can independently say, "My local paper."
Both understand the value of civil discourse and allowing others an opportunity to speak
Both understand the value of clean, ink free hands in this time of AIDS.
Neither trucks with fools
While both value families, neither tries to define the family for others
Both can be trusted to babysit.
Neither would sit by and allow spit to be applied to a baby's hair
Both fear the Creator so much they allow Him to judge others
Neither sounds like a hyena.
Both are pretty good dressers.

I hope you vote with the welfare of your neighbors in mind this time.

Please, everyone just take a deep breath. Seriously, could you listen to this person' s voice for four years as President, not to mention her ordering our troops into harm's way every time she gets a whim that some foreign leader has insulted her? If you believe in the power of prayer, start praying that she does herself in with this nonsensical talk.

Jon Stewart Exposes Faux News Coverage of Nuclear Treaty

Last night, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart attacked Fox News and Sarah Palin for ignoring the facts about President Obama's nuclear treaty with Russia.

Stewart reminded them that President Reagan had also called for a one-third reduction in nuclear arms, and spoke of a world without nukes.

He also wondered why Megyn Kelly's head exploded.

Stewart also brought up Beavis & Butthead in connection with how TV used to have to do animated clips in order to lie.

Here's the video:

I'm am sick of this woman's face. Doesn't she have children to rear? I find it amazing how the "so called christian" conservatives talk about family values and the importance of family, yet say nothing about this woman's constant campaign to make herself relevant, shouldn't this woman be home rearing her childern instead of constantly in our face? Have you noticed how she treats him. It's truly revealing about the kind of person she is.

I have never heard her husband speak, she rules over him, and I have not heard one of these women call her on it. On the health care vote, I heard many on the right quoting the verse in Timothy and trying to use it against Speaker Pelosi. What about Palin, why isn't she called on this, and for her lies and her divisiness. At least the Speaker's children were grown before she began her political career. She says she's a christan, yet she bears fale witness, speaks in mocking tones, rules over her husband. The bible I read does not show these as christian values, but just read Proverbs and see what it says about this type of woman.....

Amazing that a former governor (that quit) and a congresswoman have no idea that a president does not make a decision like signing a nuclear treaty with out consulting military commanders and other advisers. Reagan is their idol who they quote quite often but they neglect to say he did the same thing. Stupidity reigns with these 2 or make it 3 with the short one included.
