Three days after the fact, a surge of right wing conspiracy theorists
are now claiming that the lady who fainted during Obama’s White House
healthcare speech was part of a “staged” plot.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Sarah Palin has
weighed-in on the debate and revealed that she’s willing to give
credence (or at least be sympathetic) to the ridiculous claim that it
was all just a false flag operation, designed to take away focus from
the less-than-stellar website performance of healthcare.gov.
“With the Obama White House’s total lack of
transparency, it’s no wonder that some will ask whether they staged even
a fainting lady in the Rose Garden,” Palin wrote on her Facebook page
this Thursday afternoon. “What was once a major leap in logic has
become a single step because President Obama has lied so often and so
blatantly.”
Yup. Palin has, for the most part, thrown her lot
in with the Fainting Lady Truthers. She even took the time to post a
link to a Fainting Lady Truther article that was linked by Drudge.
Yes, really.
But perhaps even worse than Palin’s speculation on
completely unfounded conspiracy theories to her 3.8 million Facebook
fans, is the fact that she took the extra despicable step of mocking a
pregnant woman who suffers from diabetes:
Whether accurate or not, for some reason I found this hilarious! Am I out of bounds for cracking up when I saw this take on a nauseated Obama fan, her absentminded pal, and our President’s heroics this week? If so, penance paying I’ll accept. :)
The tone deafness of her comments are downright
shocking, but they’re a shining example of the true damage the fringe
right wing continues to inflict on the modern GOP. Any political figure
who thinks it’s good PR to lampoon a fainting pregnant women is
obviously catering to a base that is bent on self-destruction.
Keep talking, Sarah. We’re watching you.
The best thing about Silly Sarah being a mouthpiece for the religious right and teabaggers is, at least to me, that she is rarely ever here in Alaska any more!
