Juan Williams: Palin Not On Same 'Intellectual Stage' As Obama (VIDEO)

Juan Williams hit out at Sarah Palin on "Fox News Sunday," saying she could not match President Obama intellectually.

Williams was speaking about the potential Republican presidential candidates for the 2012 elections, and decrying them as "weak." He mocked the idea that someone like Indiana Congressman Mike Pence could go head to head with Obama.

"There is nobody out there except for Sarah Palin who could absolutely dominate the stage and she can't stand on the intellectual stage with Obama," Williams concluded.

This prompted a chorus of "oooohhhs" from the rest of the panel.

Poor Mike Wallace. His own son thinks Juan is the one who is wrong about Palin. What happened? You would think Chris would have been a smarter man than he portrays. I still can't believe how being stupid and running for high office is ok with some.

New Book Released:

Paradigm Shift: The Palin Matrix

What is The Palin Matrix? You could define it in many different ways, all of which boil down to a madness that has infected the political lives of many Americans. You cannot see it or hear it or feel it with your hands, but you can certainly see its brainwashing effects on cable news, hear it discussed infinitely on talk radio, and feel it as you walk among the masses from the other side. America cannot heal its economic divide until we stop fighting The Second Civil War. The specific problem is that the other side has become so vehemently rabid that we cannot ignore the bully and hope he will just go away. We must defend the compassionate America we all know and love before it ceases to exist.

Order Paradigm Shift here.

BREAKING NEWS!!

TLC’s Sarah Palin’s Alaska Jumps the Shark by Attacking Critical Blogger

http://tinyurl.com/37985a5

This is pure vintage Palin. She can make an enemy out of thin air. Because, see, no one is stopping loggers in Alaska. No evil environmen­talists are stopping “progress” in Alaska. This is another Palin v No One fight, where the viewer gets to plug in the evil guy (who is always a liberal and usually in the White House).

that only took 3 years! No wonder I can't trust "conservatives" or the Fox "fair and balanced" network.

Nor does she dwell on earth, mindwise that is. I find it curious that she attended six colleges and still managed to get a degree. Credits from one college does not always transfer to another. One would think in the six year or less college journey she would have lost a lot of credits. Bet she has an scam online degree.

I think the funniest thing about Sarah Palin is that she, herself, thinks that she is smart enough to be President. If that should come to pass, we all better be building our bomb shelters because can you see her sitting down with the leaders of other countries. She can tell them to watch her reality show to see that she can drive a boat, a loader, pick up lumber, shoot deer, ride 4 wheelers, climb hills, babysit, ride in planes that land on water and watch bears. They will really be impressed.....build your bomb shelters. She is a real brain!!

...and what exactly did he say that was wrong? Nothing. However, they let Juan off a little too cleanly. I think this was his coded battle cry for the 'right-wing goobers' to assemble and inarticulately take down Obama!!!

..PALIN...cannot stand on ANY intellectual "stage" until she leans how to SPELL the word correctly..She's merely a "pretty (so-so) face" thurst in2 the nationnal spotlight by a presidential candidate experiencing a senior moment. The Republic is still "paying" for that misstep. HOwever, she's sly as a fox,..right now, she's in her own rubber dinghy caught in the strong turmoil/maelstrom of publicity...her hunger for her newly discovered publicity($$$$$$) fees her energy 2paddle like mad,...with only 1 oar in the water.....sometimes......AMerica weep for our future..
