Is Palin a traitor?

At least some of the foreign press thinks so.

“By attacking the democratically elected President of the United States of America at a sensitive time in her country’s history, she shows the tact of a boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeral….

And now she turns not only against the fibre and backbone of her country, but against its democratically elected President, accusing him of being incompetent for not stopping Wikileaks. Where was she and where was her GOP before and during the 9/11 attacks? She accuses President Obama of not taking “steps” to assure the leaks were not published. What “steps”?……

If anything is a threat to the national security of the United States of America, it is this screaming, unrefined oaf with as much class as a searing release of flatulence followed by hysterical giggling at a state banquet. Is this what the people of the USA deserve?

To attack the President of the country at a time when the USA needs to close ranks and stand together to consolidate the enormous strides his (President Obama’s) intelligent and respectful approach has achieved in building bridges, when her party’s period in government bombed them, Spankin’ Sarah Palin comes across as a pitifully inadequate anachronism from the times of the Far West.”

Admittedly, it's from the Pravda, but the right wing does quote that publication when it is expedient to do so.

This is from the article:

Never once has Ms Palin shown her love for this great country by standing by it and her President in a time of need. Instead, she views each crisis as a cynical opportunity to sow the seeds of division among fellow countrymen. During the oil spill crisis, she took to Fox News to spew nonsense about the Dutch not getting their phone calls received, claiming she knew how to fix the leak if only the President had called on her. Of course, since she was on Fox News, no one bothered to ask her why, then, she did nothing to stop the oil spills that took place during her brief tenure as Governor of Alaska.

So, is she a traitor or just an opportunist?

Ridiculous question. Turn it around to when Bush was invading Iraq or couldn't find WMD. There were plenty of democrat "traitors" then by this definition.

Both... But I still like the definition: "screaming, unrefined oaf with as much class as a searing release of flatulence"

True, but it's a funny article.

Where's the patriot option? I didn't see it among the choices........

A self serving opportunist, but not even close to traitorous.

No doubt the contents will be used in the ongoing progressive politics of personal destruction. One wonders, did Corn and Mother Jones put in a similar request for all of the political candidates during the last campaign - or simply the one that they disliked. I'm sure we would find many other examples of "nice" coming from Obama, McCain and Biden - not to mention what would be unearthed if the email accounts of the current cabinet members was subjected to similar scrutiny.

Patriot, no. But something that rhymes with patriot, yes.
