Palin Confuses Iraq And Iran In Hannity Interview (VIDEO)

Palin Confuses Iraq And Iran In Hannity Interview (VIDEO)

Commented Nov 20, 2009 at 08:04:44 in Politics

“Time to demonstrate that we reject dishonest conservative tactics, liberals. Obama knows there are 50 states and Palin knows the difference between Iraq and Iran. She simply made a slip of the tongue; clearly she was talking about Iran, calling its president by name and discussing options only applicable to Iran. Nothing to see here except perhaps her opposition looking much too desperate to slam her: that Ed guy called her gaffe "psycho talk" last night.

If you want to criticize someone here, pick on Hannity for not setting her straight after the first time she misspoke, or even the second. Either he wasn't paying attention to her, he thought correcting her would make her look fallible, he doesn't know the difference himself, or he knows his audience doesn't differentiate among Muslim countries anyway.”

“Alright I could buy she said Iraq but meant Iran from referencing ahmadinejad at the beginning and end. But listen to what said " to impose sanctions on the import of oil into Iraq (but she means iran)". How are these options only applicate to Iran? (i only saw this clip and not the full interview) They are not applicable to iran at all. Iran is like the 4th largest oil producing country in the world. Iraq is like the 12th. So how does this policy make any sense, maybe we should criticize her and just assume she doesn't know what she is talking about 100% of the time.

but maybe ive missed something, its happened before

PS i am for a diplomatic resolution with Iran. just putting that out there”

“False. Just off the top of my head, Sean Connery has repeatedly said much worse, including his firm belief that women need to be slapped around by men if they won't shut up. Google it.”

klandish replied on Nov 03, 2009 at 11:14:09

“That comment by Connery stands out as a landmark in celebrity no nos. Try another quote... I don't think there are many men will use (celebrities) that contain this sort of 'diminished capacity' in describing the other sex. For whatever reason woman can call men whatever.. get a laugh, high five and keep on going. I'm not saying there might not be a good reason for this inequity between between the sexes. But you have to admit Hudson's comment is really par for the course. It's a demeaning comment .. probably made out of some twisted Culturally sanctified bitterness. And look who she quoted.”

“Except when the charge is pled down to something lesser. Then -- legally -- it's not rape. Just as abortion is not murder as long as it's legal, but if a law was passed making it murder, it would suddenly be murder.”

“Never said "fine." Just pointed out that a pedophile is someone sexually attracted to prepubescent children, and the girl in this case was sexually developed, so she was physically, though not legally, a woman. Save your emotional rhetoric for your next witchburners meeting.”

“"He fled before he went to trial." WRONG. There was to be no trial, since he pled GUILTY.

"He wasn't convicted because he fled." He WAS convicted, because he pled guilty. It's his sentencing which was never completed because he fled.

And he is NOT a pedophile.”

“I'm sorry IvyShoots, he fled before he had his sentencing. Sorry. I didn't know you were an intimate member of the law team in this case.

What is your definition of a pedophile? Last I checked 13 was underage in most states. Pedophiles who has an attraction to underage people. So explain to me how he is not a pedophile?

People like you sicken me and make me thankful everyday you were not the people on the jury of my accuser, who didn't think he was a pedophile either, but rather just horny.”

“"his victim is tired because she has publicly stated any trial he will get is a joke."

False. Just this year, SHE filed court papers seeking dismissal of the charges against him. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/01/12/polanski.case/index.html

She feels more harmed by the state than by Polanski at this point, and chided the district attorney's office for not dismissing the case earlier and for giving "great publicity to the lurid details of those events, for all to read again. True as they may be, the continued publication of those details cause harm to me ... I have become a victim of the actions of the District Attorney."”

Paul Brown replied on Sep 30, 2009 at 13:01:40

“Criminal cases aren't for the victim, but for the People. That's it's the People v [defendant] in a criminal case, and not [victim] v [defendant]. The desires of the victim are, in my mind, largely irrelevant, because a crime isn't only against them, it's against all of society.”

sidittygal replied on Sep 28, 2009 at 14:59:36

“uuuuuhhhmmm so again because you went to one source, the source I went to was "false" ok. Great rationale. It scares the hell out of me if any of you wanting to "let this go" have children. As someone who has been raped, or per some here had "consensual relations" at age 8 with a 23 year old, it bothers me that people find what he did completely ok to dismiss. I also find it strange that because the victim is sick of having her name and personal details of a painful time in her life, it makes it ok that he never comes to justice.”

“You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. Polanski is not a pedophile. Pedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children. The girl he assaulted had gone through puberty and was sexually developed. She was physically a woman although legally a minor.”

NEnglish replied on Sep 28, 2009 at 10:29:47

“He's not charged with pedophilia. He's charged with rape. The law asserts that a 13 year old cannot legally consent. Statutory rape is the charge and guilty was Polanski's plea.”
