1. Sarah Palin rants about how Ahmed Mohamed was up to no good when he brought that clock to school.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mama Bear Palin actually managed to make her dim-witted daughter Bristol look almost reasonable this week. While Bristol went on record on her blog saying that 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed should probably not have been arrested for bringing a clock to school, Sarah ranted thusly on Facebook:<\/p>\n

\n

“Yep, believing that’s a clock in a school pencil box is like believing Barack Obama is ruling over the most transparent administration in history. Right. That’s a clock, and I’m the queen of England.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her deranged comments hardly ended there:<\/p>\n

\n

“Friends, consider the kids disciplined and\/or kicked out of school for bringing squirt guns to school or taking bites out of a pop tart until it resembled (to some politically correct yahoo) a gun. Or the student out deer hunting with his dad early one morning who forgot he had a box of ammo in his truck when he parked in the school’s lot later that day. Kids humiliated and intimidated for innocent actions like those real examples are often marked the rest of their lives and made to feel really rotten. Whereas Ahmed Muhammad, [sic] an evidently obstinate-answering student bringing in a homemade 'clock' that obviously could be seen by conscientious teachers as a dangerous wired-up bomb-looking contraption (teachers who are told 'if you see something, say something!') gets invited to the White House.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On this Mama and Baby Grizzly agreed. President Obama had no business inviting wrongly arrested Ahmed to the White House. Who does he think he is, the president of the United States? Maybe the queen of England? That would be just like him, you know.<\/p>\n

“By the way, President Obama’s practice of jumping in cases prematurely to interject himself as the cool savior, wanting so badly to attach himself to the issue-of-the-day, got old years ago,” Palin wrote.<\/p>\n

Yeah, Bristol blogged, this is “the kind of stuff Obama needs to STAY out of.”<\/p>\n

Why does she think that? “This encourages more racial strife that is already going on with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ crowd and encourages victimhood,” she wrote. <\/p>\n

It’s a familiar right-wing trope, racial strife is somehow created by those who point out racism, instead of those perpetuating racism.<\/p>\n

Of course, that is a concept that goes whizzing by both Palin women's heads.<\/p>\n

What movie was it that coined the phrase "They're ba-ack!"?  I'm sure it was some horror movie.  Oh wait, "It's As The Stomach Turns" starring the Republican\/Teabaggers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
