[Ohhmm(bligo)]

THANKS, OBAMA has officially gone too far.

[nsl]

On Wednesday, Sarah Palin suggested Obama’s performance as Commander in Chief is related to the struggles of veterans like her oldest son.

“That starts from the top,” she told the crowd. “It’s a shame that our military personnel even have to wonder, if they have to question, if they’re respected anymore. It starts from the top. The question though that comes from our own president where they have to look at him and wonder, do you know what we go through?”

Go to hell, Sarah.

[flex]

Let's face it...vets have been treated poorly throughout American history. She's such a loony toon.

[pinkeggs]

To steal a CEP quote: He was deployed in 2008. Exactly which president do you think sent your son to Iraq, Sarah?

[Eagles]

Fuck this bitch.

[killercupcake]

Fuck her.

[flex]

Her son was getting into all kinds of trouble even before he went into the Army. The entire family is a trainwreck. Except for Todd Palin. He's not too bad.

[W.T.Faulkner]

This bitch cannot get any dumber.

If he is known to be suffering from PTSD, why did he have access to firearms? This situation could have turned tragic* with a quickness.

*not downplaying the effects of DV, I hope his victim gets the help and support she needs

[hisno1girl]

Didn't I say his Mommy would come up with a story for this?

FUCK you Sarah Palin and your asshole family.

[rachers]

They are all the worst. Truly terrible people.

[cleo29]

Dang it I just posted this, I missed your post! lol

[lexxasaurus]

I keep typing and deleting.

Her piece of shit family is a mess, and of course she'll exploit their troubles to make a political point.

Not everyone with PTSD is dangerous. It sounds like his issues come more from being an asshole than PTSD.

This is all I've been able to say when I've seen this mentioned today.

I didn't mean to imply that, I'm sorry. What I wrote was in direct response to Sarah Palin using PTSD as the reason he became violent. If that is indeed the case (as it could be, goodness knows we're terrible at supporting our returning soldiers), then his having access to firearms is in turn, dangerous. I should have specified PTSD that manifests in a violent manner in my original comment since as you said, not everyone with PTSD is violent.

I didn't get the sense you were implying the sense that all PTSD sufferers are all dangerous, I hate how it's represented that way in the media though. The media makes it sound that PTSD sufferers are all dangerous to those around us. I hate how it's represented in the media, as it creates such an awful stigma.

Gotcha. And aren't we all just gobsmacked that Palin is perpetuating that myth by using it to explain/excuse her son's violent actions. But really, it's all Obama's fault. 

[Jillaroo]

Is it Obama's fault that her daughter keeps getting knocked up too?

The Palins are a mess.

[Deleted]

It's really unfortunate that as his government was failing him his family couldn't afford to get him help either.

[killercupcake]

We want smaller government!

Until we need to blame them for our fuck ups in life, then we expect them to fix everything!

Yep yep yep

[gretchenindisguise]

This really really pisses me off because it's the Republican party who has pushed sequestration and cuts to the DoD. Not Obama.

[cville]

Unfuckingbelievable.

It truly is. But then, Donald Trump.

So true. What can you expect from someone that supports Donald Trump? Let alone publicly endorses him.

She a jackass of the highest order.

[Deleted]

I was watching the clip of her endorsing him and I'm convinced she was high at the time or just an even bigger cartoon than usual. Even Donald looked like he wanted to laugh the entire time.
