Palin to Walters: The Media Made People Think I'm Scary, Polarizing and Uninformed

By Noel Sheppard | December 10, 2010 | 02:10

Noel Sheppard's picture

As NewsBusters reported Thursday, Barbara Walters during an interview to be aired hours later claimed the public find the thought of Sarah Palin as president "scary" because she's "uninformed."

When the full segment aired later that evening, Palin fired back saying, "I think it's because the media has shaped that persona and allowed that to be out there as a misconception and a misperception about my, what my values are and what the positions are that I support" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

BARBARA WALTERS, HOST: Well, you know, Governor, many people find the thought of you as president a little scary. You hear, "Oh, she's very charming, but she's uninformed.” What are they afraid of?

SARAH PALIN: You know, I hear the, the, the comment out there that's made often that I'm polarizing, and, so I'm surprised that you didn't use that, that word.

WALTERS: Okay, I'll use it: you're polarizing. Okay.

PALIN: Why is that? I think it's because the media has shaped that persona and allowed that to be out there as a misconception and a misperception about my, what my values are and what the positions are that I support.

WALTERS: What about the accusation that you're uninformed?

PALIN: That, too, I think is something that's been pretty much ginned up by the press.

Indeed it has.

Indeed, McCain's handling of Palin (or mishandling) resulted in this perfect storm we are in right now where the Democrat Party could cease to exist as a political power in a few years.  The term Epic Fail would be redefined as Obama's presidency.  I pray that the two party system survives with Libertarian vs. Republican.  That would be sweet, would it not?

Submitted by Wrathful Brunette on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 10:56am.

Than an Obama presidency is a McCain presidency. He would have RINO'd conservatism to death, and the whining about American racism would be even worse than it is now. Not to mention, Palin would have been forever tarnished by working with McCain, kinda like Hillary is now. How's that SoS gig working out for ya, Shrillary?

Sometimes you have to go all the way to the bottom before things get bad enough to make you come to your senses. America had to wake up, hung-over, lying in the gutter robbed of everything but the clothes on her back before it dawned on her that maybe playing footsies with socialism wasn't such a good idea.

I think being VP would have been a disaster for Palin.  I talked to a Congressman who went on a trip to Iraq with McCain, and he said McCain just came unglued when he dared to step into a conversation McCain was having with a general and ask how he could help.  McCain has one of those egos that doesn't like sharing the spotlight with anyone, and Palin definately would have been taking the spotlight away from him.

Barbara Walters is SO sold into the Obama/Biden clap-trap that she doesn't dare expose him, because it will then show how stupid she really is.  One of the problems when your idol has clay feet is that you have to then prop it up even harder.

I find the media's paranoia

I find the media's paranoia and fear of Palin to be very fascinating. Who would have thought this woman could completely capture the entire pollitical and media arena for 2 solid years, grow stronger by the day and will completely dominate them for the next 2 years.

I don't have a clue if Palin would be a good, or even mildly competent President, but it would sure be a ball to watch it happen. And who knows, she might actually be a good one. Certainly couldn't be any worse than the empty suit puppet ruining the nation now.

Then he casts aspersions at Palin that he knows are out and out lies.

The fool calls her ignorant when it has been manifestly shown that she is not.

He calls her names because he is a sissy, and the very thought of her frowning at his existence causes him to wet himself  in a most embarassing way.

Palin is a decent person, who has never harmed anyone, but goldwaterfan is actually physically afraid of the woman and so he acts out by lying about her.

Whether Palin runs for the highest office in the land or not, I will be eternally grateful for the stark fear she engenders in these pantywaists who insult her at a far remove.

Perhaps she is disliked for the fact she earned an 80% approval rating from the Citizens of Alaska?

Don't be ignorant. She never supported the bailout. The closest she came to "supporting" it was her remark that "...we need to do something, not necessarily this ...". Of course, funny how a liberal press never followed up on what "something else" might be, such as spending and tax cuts.
.
As far as her support for McCain... I didn't like it one bit, but I do understand it. It was personal loyalty to someone she considers a friend.

Love/Hate Relationship

Submitted by beauxdog on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 7:33am.

I think Sarah Palin would make an excellent president if the media was fair and gave her the respect the office demands.  She has a Davy Crockett/Daniel Boone type of frontier personality.  She is a doer in all aspects of life.  She is a proven reformer (per another poster) and anti-corruption... which makes her the enemy of 98% of elected Federal officials.  She is "We the People".

Amanda calls her ignorant and uniformed because thats all she sees and hears from her sources whom she trusts.  I believe we are all guilty, to a certain extent, of trusting our preferred sources.  Most of us don't have time to do our own research.  Amanda is still wrong, but she is being honest in what she believes.

I believe that as president, Sarah would disappoint a lot of us because we have such high expectations of her.  We, as conservatives, are focused on our world view and she would be ruling a country with disparate world views.  Rome wasn't built in a day and she won't be able to "give our country back" overnight... or even in eight years.  I believe she has the wisdom to put in place the mechanisms to bring us back from the edge... they just might not be as fast as some of us would like.

Now the hate... I can't stand her voice.  I prefer to read her words than listen to them.

The media has and DID create the aura of Barack Obama that he was a uniter, smart and was the "one" we have been waiting for and the rest of us were hmmmmm, what about Rezco, Chi-town, Ayers, Wright, voting present etc, etc and the media cabal on the left were dragged kicking and screaming on reporting ANY negativity on a junior Senator who had NO exaecutive experience to speak of.

They BUILT the beast and got him selected, elected and totally protected.

They sent a battalion of reporters to Alaska, but not one "jowhornalist" could stick a microphone near Ayers, Rezco, Wright etc, etc who all live and breathe in that far away mecca called Chi-town?

That's why bringing up his name is relevent.

I do wish she had rethought her "reality show" " Sarah Palin's Alaska". You can oversaturate yourself,  just ask Barry. I have seen 2 episodes and came away thinking she wasn't quite the bear wrestling, frontier woman she portrayed herself as. Don't get me wrong, she is a lot more grounded and back-to-basics than most pols, especially liberals but she whined during a fairly short rock climbing episode and had her dad jacking rounds into her rifle during a caribou hunting expedition. Admittedly the hunt was very remote and adventureous (jealous I suppose) but she did help clean, pack and freeze the meat with no hesitation or queasiness. Dear God, Kate Goslin is bringing her octet up for a camping trip on a future episode. I think I will refrain from watching that one.

Look, the media, while certainly doing everything it could to delegitimize her, is not responsible for her not being able to name a single SCOTUS decision she disagreed with. The media is not responsible for her supporting TARP and the bailouts. Palin is actually insulting people by blaming the media, because the implication is that people are not independent thinkers and that they can't find their information elsewhere.

As much as she wants to paint herself as an outsider, she is as much establishment Republican as the Washington insiders. She threw her support behind McCain before the Ariz. primary, putting party over principle, and she told tea partiers to pick a party while falsely stating that we have a two-party system.

Prodded is a poor choice of words. It's an interview, after all, and both VP candidates were asked the same question. Asking both candidates to name a decision or decisions they disagreed with is a legitimate question.

And in case you weren't aware, there are more than two parties, many of whose members hold office. While two parties are dominant and try to control debates, processes, etc., it is foolish to say we have a two-party system. We have no such thing.

Couric supplied Roe v. Wade as a discussion point, asking both Biden and Palin why they agreed or disagreed with it. She then asked both to name SCOTUS decisions they disagreed with, and she didn't ask for thousands. Palin was unable to name any.

Standing by your principles is not a lose-lose situation. She put party over principle, but maybe McCain's principles are hers as well. Either way, not a good signal to conservatives.

He named it by the bill's name. In case you weren't aware, SCOTUS is an appeals court that hears arguments about written law. That's their job. Biden named the law, not the multiple cases before the court that the court's ruling covered. The court struck down the law after it had been in effect for six years. Biden disagreed with the ruling. This isn't about playing getcha with Biden or Palin. The question was asked of both candidates. Biden was able to answer it, Palin wasn't. It's ok to admit that.

Submitted by Satchmo on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 11:44am.

McCain voted for TARP and Palin defended it on the campaign trail; she supported it.

As for Roe v. Wade, I've shown above that it was Couric who raised it to both VP candidates, not Palin.

...while falsely stating that we have a two-party system.

One of the prominent features of the American political system is the presence of a competitive two-party system.

The United States is the classic example of a nation with a two-party system.

For more than two centuries the two-party system has endured in the United States.

With the two-party system of government in its founding stages in the United States...

One of the prominent features of the American political system is the presence of a competitive two-party system. Parties were formed in the U.S. polity while the founding fathers...

The political systems of several nations are dominated by two parties, most notably the governments of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Since the administration of George Washington two political parties have dominated the United States political system, but they have not always been the same two parties.

Satchmo is a liar or stupid, probably both. Hey Freakshow sock puppet. WHY DON'T YOU HARASS ME SOME MORE.

YOU ARE A LIAR.

If we have a two-party

Submitted by Satchmo on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 2:09pm.

If we have a two-party system, then how is it there were NP (no party), L (libertarian), C (consitution) candidates, among others, on my ballot? In fact, I voted for one of them in 2008. How would that be possible if we had a two-party system? Which party was it that Jesse Ventura was with when he was elected governor? Which party was it that Lieberman ran with recently?

The United States is not and never has been a two-party system. This is basic civics. There are a number of office holders all over the country who belong to parties that aren't the Dems or Repubs. That would not and could not happen in a two-party system.

And harrass you? I have no idea what you're talking about. You responded to me, not the other way around. As if responding to someone on a discussion board is harrassment anyway. Seriously, man, get some help.

You have no problem with sex between a father and his daughter so long as it is supposedly consensual, but you call the Vet out as being mental?

Strange individual, you are.

I mean, I can understand someone taking offense if they feel they have been insulted, but when that same person, who initially painted a big ass bullseye on his own forehead with one of the more idiotic statements ever seen on a thread at NewsBusters, begins judging others for taking shots, the action of becoming judgemental turns rapidly into an exercise in farce of the highest degree.

Even were the Vet to tire of dealing with you, there are others at NBs who will be happy to dish out  the ridicule you have brought down on your own head.

All Sarah needs to do to

Submitted by Barack_must_go..... on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 11:07am.

All Sarah needs to do to quiet the critics is climb up her family tree and find some American Eskimo out there on one of those limbs.

She would then be treated with kid gloves just like the Ass Clown is today......right?

Well he's also retarded on top of being a minority, but Sarah does have a special needs child which should more than level the playing field.

 Her great looks and millionaire statis also may have something to do with it for some folks hating her.

I would bet Hillary has decided to not run because of Sarah's huge success since leaving public service. She will attempt to duplicate Sarah's wild ride, but will not be successful. You need to not only be the real deal, you've first need to be real. Hilly fails on both levels.

Anyone that speaks of Sarah Palin possibly seeking the office of president of the United States of America in a disparaging way while the Ass Clown is still fully ensconced in our White House is either a complete partisan, jackass or both.

I do not believe she is what the country needs right now as our leader, but to dismiss her out of hand because you say she's dumb or polarizing while the most polarizing D-bag of the past 100 years sits in that seat is pure unadulterated bullshit.

The ol' "some people" game.

Submitted by tomchris on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 12:07pm.

You may remember that when Rush Limbaugh was interviewed by Barbara Walters two years ago she chastised Limbaugh's like of Palin saying she was "uniformed."  Clearly Barbara's "some people" was actually Walters  asserting her own opinion of Palin- the lamest of the lamestream media's tactics. 

I, too, am all in for Sarah and eagerly await the left totally implode if and when she decides to run.

Not quite "all in"...

Submitted by jimbo297 on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 12:42pm.

...for Sarah, although she has been communicating the TEA Party message most effectively.  I hope we take a good look at the prospective GOP candidates and choose the one who can get the job done.  I do think she'd be alot more electable than Huckster or Mitt, not that they're not strong candidates, but because she'd bring alot more energy to the game.  I really want to see what this new crop of GOP/TEA congress critters amounts to-if they can pave the road smooth enough by promoting growth through lower taxes and defund Obamacare, then just about any Republican will be able to drive down it.

For what it's worth, I have never heard Sarah say that she is going to run.  She has said that she will run if no one else is going to step up, so I get the impression that, like me, she's waiting to see what green shoots grow out of our grassroots victory in November.

Frankly, I don't want her to be distracted in 2012 with her own campaign cuz there's still a whole bunch of Dems and RINOs that need to be shown the exit, and she played no small part in last month's victory.

Still holding out hope that she'll come moose hunting in Vermont next year-just to see all these le#bos and d%kes get their panties in a wad!

I love how members of the media, including WaWa, throw around the "uninformed" accusation of Palin, when most of these media minions could not explain economics 101 to any of us.  Their version of being "informed" is as they define it, and a prominent conservative will never measure up to it.  Palin may be the current incarnation of the devil to these people, but they treated Reagan, HW Bush, GW Bush, you name it, in similar fashion.  Nobody with an "R" after his/her name is smart enough, informed enough or caring enough for their taste--until that person abandons the R party in some way.

"Why is that?"

Submitted by Tom1969ca on Fri, 12/10/2010 - 1:10pm.

I do wish that when Sarah asked (rhetorically, as it turned out), "Why is that?" that instead of answering her own question she had instead smiled and sat quietly ... waiting for an answer from Babs!

It would've been fun to see her try to spin her way out of that one!

I'm reminded of a quote I saw attributed to Mark Twain:  "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed.  If you *do* read the newspaper, you're mis-informed!"
