On CNN’s State Of The Union, Sarah Palin didn’t know that “American” is not a language. She urged immigrants who come to this country to “speak American.”
Video:
Palin said, “You know, I think we can send a message and say, you wanna be in America? A). You better be here legally, or you’re out of here. B). Let’s speak American. I mean let’s speak English. That’s kind of a unifying aspect of a nation is the language that is understood by all. But, you know, I took Spanish in high school, and I took French in high school. I shouldn’t have taken them both because I got ’em all mixed up by the time I was graduating.”
It feels like all the years of Sarah Palin gaffes have led up to this one. It all makes sense now. Sarah Palin doesn’t speak English like the rest of us. She speaks American, but there is no such language as American.
This woman was poised to be one creaky John McCain heartbeat away from the presidency, and she doesn’t know that there is no American language. We speak English in this country, and from my personal experience, I can tell you that the majority of immigrants that I have met speak better English than Sarah Palin.
It is a shame that CNN gave airtime to the Republican Party’s washed-up rodeo clown, but Palin is useful in the respect that she voices the ignorance within the Republican Party. Just like the media refuses to believe that racism and bigotry are fueling the rise of Donald Trump, they have refused to believe that intellectual void that is Sarah Palin represents large swaths of the GOP.
Sarah Palin is a national embarrassment, but she is a mirror of the Republican Party.

Palin is to the "News" cycle
what The Kardashians are to "entertainment"...
...but they do sell
Tells is all we need to kmow about American "culture"
Clearly Sarah meant American English, rather than British English. The vicious lying, misstating, and distorting attackers continue, as they have since she was nominated for V.P.
They appear to be Handmaidens of our Rulers, the Global Oligarchs.
Palin touts herself as a "champion of Christian Values" and sells books, videos, etc. And then she took money to appear in front of thousands of supporters and say, with a grin and a chuckle, " If I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists." WWJD? Would Jesus waterboard anybody? Do you really think Jesus would approve of someone who claims not only to be a true follower of his, but a "champion for Christian Values" to joke about deliberately, forcefully, and REPEATEDLY bringing another human being to the brink of death by drowning? And then to compare giving that human such mental and physical anguish to the sacrament given to him by John the Baptist in the River Jordan? I think he would cast such a person from his flock.
And she's still mixed up!
...she's on "Perma-Mix"...
That woman's brain, or the collection of ganglia atop her spinal column that passes for a brain, has got to be on crack.
"...the collection of ganglia atop her spinal column"
So perfectly put.
Thanks for the chuckle.
I don't think she has that ganglion. Her utterances appear to issue from her basal and pudic ganglia only.
Uh, when does Sarah plan to start speaking English?
Ironically, if Sarah really wanted everyone to speak the native tongue in Alaska, they should all be speaking Aleut.
Palin's favorite side dish continues to be "word salad" made of bitter greens.
Patron Saint of Low IQ bigots has grace us once again with another example of her ignorance. McCain should be forever be hated in this country for bringing this low class, low intelligence, trailer park harridan into the limelight! PS Palin needs to stop speaking her native tongue:Moronic
OMG, is she stupid. Sarah Palin cannot make a statement without total loss of control of English and her own thoughts. Everything just spews from her snarky mouth and it is a huge tell that she is lacking in many areas of communication and intelligence. Without even being prodded, she gives her own "gotcha" answers.
...when she predicts ONE thing...expect ANYTHING else...
Every time she's on the tube it's like a trailer for "Idiocracy II".
Trump/Palin in 2016...let's make Murika hate again!
You're Fired/I Quit 2016
Is it possible that someone explained birth control to her drunk, promiscuous kids in say French? Is that why they keep getting pregnant absent of marriage? Maybe she should actually raise her family instead of searching for her greed opportunities. This woman prostituted her family for $10/month. She has no idea what a real American is...it aint grifting.
