Sarah Palin Reacts To Alleged Tea Party 'Terrorist' Criticism (VIDEO)

Sarah Palin Tea Party Terrorists

First Posted: 08/03/11 12:12 PM ET Updated: 10/03/11 06:12 AM ET

During an appearance on Fox News' "Hannity" on Tuesday night, Sarah Palin shared her take on a criticism Vice President Joe Biden reportedly directed at the Tea Party earlier this week.

According to Politico, Biden suggested that Tea Party-backed lawmakers "acted like terrorists" in contentious debate over raising the debt ceiling in a meeting with House Democrats.

"If we were real domestic terrorists," Palin explained to host Sean Hannity, "President Obama would be wanting to pal around with us, wouldn't he? He didn't have a problem palling around with Bill Ayers back in the day when he kicked off his political career."

When it comes to harsh rhetoric applied to the Tea Party the former Alaska governor said "enough is enough." She asserted, "I'm not just going to roll over with a sticker plastered on my forehead that says, hit me baby one more time, call me a terrorist again, call me a racist. Those things that Tea Party patriots have been being called over these months. It is unfair, it's hypocritical of the other side doing that. And enough is enough. And I'm going stand up for those fiscally conservative patriotic independent Americans who wants the best for this country.”

After Palin sought to connect Obama to Ayers, a 1960s Weather Underground member, during the 2008 presidential campaign, the AP reported:

No evidence shows they were "pals" or even close when they worked on community boards years ago and Ayers hosted a political event for Obama early in his career.

Asked if likening members of the Tea Party to terrorists is appropriate discourse in the eyes of the president on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, "No, he doesn't and neither does the Vice President." He added, "I think the Vice President spoke to this and made clear he didn't say those words... It was a product of an emotional discussion, very passionately held positions in this debate. But that does not mean this is appropriate and it's not."

Below, video of what Palin had to say on Fox News on Tuesday night.

Well, those who state they are Christians are certainly not Christ like. When McCain opened pandora's box and let Palin out, it was like we invented a new word for crazy. Honestly, I don't know why the media gives her time to open her mouth. Her stupidity (except for acquiring the dollar) will go down in history. The Tea Baggers should take off their costumes as they in no way compare to our forefathers who by the way were deists. They are an insult to our history. And they aren't educated. Terrorists they are in all sense of the word. And they don't have the sense to know it. They will destroy this Country.

LOL, you libs have taken to using the term "tea baggers" to describe conservatives! Aren't most gays (who invented the term) on the liberal side? Hilarious. Can't you think of something better? Liberal non intelligence never ceases to amaze.

We have not heard from Sarah in a while, and I was happy about that. Now she is back again!! I really wish she would leave us alone. When she talks she gets herself in more trouble and makes comments about things she knows nothing about. She is so simple and such a fool.

Whom ever is advising her they need to be fired.

Palin actually makes $1,000,000 a year at Fox to educate us on everything.

Sarah, believes Paul Revere’s ride was about warning the British, not the colonists. She said the Founding Fathers recited the Pledge of Allegiance (its earliest version didn’t appear until 1892) and based the Constitution on the Bible and the Ten Commandments (big, big whoops).

Don't you worry about those stickers on your forehead, Sarah. If they were plastered there based on the names people call you, there wouldn't be enough room left for one that says "terrorist."

Her shrieking rants and vicious screeds have inspired me to come up with a new nickname for Sarah Palin: the LameScream Medea.
------------------

It's good, I faved it, but that's an insult to Tyler Perry's creative genius & his muse Madea.
Besides, Madea would wipe the streets with Palin and do it by grabbing her hair/wig.

Me? My vote would be for LameScream Medusa.

After all & unfortunately for her, she does have that horrid hair rat's nest thing going on continuously.

Palin is a vindictive evil anti-american who only has her own interests at heart. She cares about as much for america as limbaugh. As long as their discusting blathering keeps the attention on them they are contented. The reason she is from Alaska is that with the exception possibly of her family, she is not wanted in the state. She is not the ex govenor of Alaska - she is the quitter. Two years of using government to try to destroy the people she hates does not make a ex govenor in my book.

How ironic that the union hating, anti-American is going to re-start her non-campaign bus tour on Labor Day weekend. She runs for president more than she runs her mouth.

she may need to check those bus tires because the more she runs the less traction she gets.

Why are they reporting on what she says? She's not a candidate. She's nothing more than a huckster selling poorly written ghost authored books and on the speakers circuit getting what she can before the invites dry up. She' so 2008 -2010. Ignore here media.

It turns out that Republicans were acting like terrorists, so while Democrats didn't call them that, they just assumed that they were called that. Rather, Democrats called them hostage takers, which is a term they themselves used.
