Fox News Pressures Romney to Let Human Disaster Sarah Palin Ruin his Convention

By: Jason EasleyJul. 19th, 2012more from Jason Easley

Fox News began their campaign to get Sarah Palin a speaking slot at the Republican Convention with Bill O’Reilly laying out all the reasons why Palin should be speaking in Tampa.

This one has to be seen to be believed. Watch Sarah Palin nemesis Bill O’Reilly argue for Palin speaking in Tampa (via Mediaite):

O’Reilly said, “Bad blood may be overstating it, may be overstating it. Because what happened in the primary season was that Sarah Palin was obviously not for Mitt Romney. And the Romney people obviously recognized that, and now say, you know we got it. Do we really want her around? And the answer so far is no.”

Panelist Michelle Fields of The Daily Caller claimed that the Romney people don’t want Palin because she will outshine Romney, and Bill O’Reilly offered the most crackpot solution ever.

O’Reilly said, “You can give the governor of Alaska a platform on a day that Mitt Romney isn’t speaking. You could have her rally the tea party folks who adore her, and what’s the downside of that? They don’t even have to see each other really.”

The whole spectacle gets ever stranger when you consider that Bill O’Reilly has barely been able to hide his distaste for Palin when she has been on his show. O’Reilly has humiliated her numerous times on his program, so why is he now soft selling Sarah Palin to Mitt Romney?

The answer is that Fox News wants to get something back on their Palin investment. Sarah Palin is worthless as a political figure right now. She tried to revive the Palin brand with Bristol Palin’s ratings disaster of a reality show, and with a new vice presidential nominee being selected soon, Palin will be just another failed running mate.

Fox News needs her to speak at the convention. The Romney people need her to stay far, far away. The main reason why she is not invited is because Romney holds Palin up as an example of what not to do when selecting a running mate. The Romney campaign has made it very clear that they think Sarah Palin was a total disaster.

It is clear that Fox News wants Palin speaking at the convention. So far Mitt Romney has caved to every right wing demand, but a speaking slot for the Alaska lunatic who trashed him during the GOP primary might be too much.

In the end nobody should be surprised if spineless Mitt caves to Roger and Rupert, and gives Sarah the Obama Stalker 15 more minutes of undeserved fame.

LOLS Sara Derp Palin in her one useful role. Mitt Romney policies: Health care = die. Jobs = outsourcing. Unemployment = Hurry up and die. Women’s rights = get back in the kitchen and poop out some more babies you can’t support, and we’re not going to help you with them either. Mitt Romney = death of America. Unemployment will do nothing but increase wherever Republicans have power. I made a video about unemployment, and how we can fix it. It’s at my YouTube channel Zarrakan, and here’s the link:

Watch it, share it, and join the fight against those who want to kill all of us with destructive social policies.

This is also a testament to how the Republican Party has abrogated its leadership responsibilities by allowing Roger Ailes to call the shots for them.

She started all of this in the public forum because she cannot resist being a victim and wanting everyone to know somebody, anybody is not giving her what she wants.

I know fox news is a joke, but isn’t anyone else bothered that she does political commentary(I know that’s a stretch, it’s mostly gibberish) for a major network, yet will speak at a political rally in support of a candidate?

She should quit her job at fox before getting up at a political convention.

  Palin does NOT hold any political office so says she. So why is she inserting herself into the mix once again. Oh, I forgot. LOL.

  In the parallel dimension of Republican-land you can have as many conflicts of interest as you want. In fact, it is part of being a modern Republican. I say she shouldn’t if she is going to live up to the recklessness of her party.

Roger Ailes must really want Romney out of the picture and will do any damage to make that happen.

Not a single speaker at the last convention was a Fox news employee. Mike Huckabee did launch his Fox show shortly after the convention, but Scary will have a clear conflict of interest if she speaks at the convention.

I think Willie is doing a fine job of acting like Sarah already. I mean, he took the President’s speech about “we are all in this together” two days ago, vilified him for saying that, and then said it himslef. What is more Plain than that? And he can lie with the best of them too. And he is a lot richer than she is. And he dresses better. And he doesn’t wear tacky religious jewelry to pander to Israel or the ‘Christian’ right. And his wife doesn’t, so far, go on fake reality shows and jump out of airplanes. say what you will about Romney, at least the GOP isn’t ashamed to have him out in public (theya re geting to be afraid to let him open his mouth, though.) Go away Sarah. You work for Ailes, not the GOP. And you don’t even LIKE Mitt Romney. And his family isn’t an embarassment to humanity.

After she stalked Romney last summer in her bus, the Romney folks are probably scared of her.

The oh-so-illustrious movie-making Janine Turner emulating her idol coins her own neologism at the 3.30 mark: “factious.” But who am I to refudiate her usage? “It’s a bit factious now,” indeed.

  Don’t forget; Janine likes to work with people that are maybe, ‘even better’ than her! How modest of her.
  
  She is frightening looking now, it is so sad. She’s now a perma fake smiled stepford wife, complete with terrifying conservative hair. When I think of that naturally beautiful fresh faced actress from Cliffhanger it just makes me sad. It’s not aging that has done it, it’s hate and resentment and being obnoxious. What happened to that woman?

It’s interesting that she’s seen as such a Tea Party darling, because none of the people I know who identify with the Tea Party have any interest in her. They think she’s just grandstanding, which is pretty much what she’s doing.

I don’t know how much more Sarah Palin can do to ruin things for Willard Romney, because he seems to be doing a good job without anyone else’s help. In fact, he seems to have adopted her tactics of lies, misinformation, and numerous gaffes.

Romney should let her speak. He needs to be associated with as many right wing crazies as possible.
