you can’t make this stuff up. Did you hear the guy in the background, “yeah, you’re pretty much hitting it dead center”.

Unreal.

Sarah Palin: Mayor.  Governor.  Hockey mom.  Marksman.

Or should I say markswoman.


The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

I am very happy McCain picked Sarah to be his VP pick.  He finally gave us conservatives someone to get excited about!!!

They are using a simulator.  Notice what looks like large slings?  Those are the air tubes that actually cycle the action just as it would work when fired.  Not quite the same recoil as real ammo but very similar.  If I remember correctly they fired a type of blank for the noise or would work without them.  I didn’t see any ear protection being used either.  Not to take anything away from Palin as she looked like she could have handled the carbine without much instruction.  (it appeared that an instruction she was getting was where to hit it, not how to hit it)

80 year old McCain picked this cunt for a VP? What a gift for Obama. We knew he was getting senile but WTF? Biden will destroy this bitch at the debates. I cant wait to hear this slit tail shuddering and stammering, trying to defend McCain’s record of voting with Lucifer. The job is in the bag for Obama now.

Is that the way you are supposed to hold an assault rifle?

Hawk on August 31, 2008 at 07:26 am

If she actually is a hunter with a life time of weapon experience, why was she so tentative with the weapon? Why did she take a noticeable deep breath, roll her eyes and bite her lip.

Look at her left hand, the way her thumb and fingers wraps over the top of the barrel…

Why does she need to have a target explained to her?
Why does she need to have the rifle butt adjusted for her?

What a joke, she doesn’t even know how to hold a gun. She would of dislocated her shoulder if that was a large caliber gun. Republicans will believe anything.

Buzzy, saw your picture in the dictionary, under the definition of A$$hole.  I can’t believe you denigrate John Deere by putting it next to your signature.

Now that we have that out of the way, Palin is holding the AR, pretty mcuch the way it is supposed to be held.  As a LE Carbine instructor, the hardest folks to train to shoot the AR platform are the ones used to shooting other rifles or shotguns.  I would have had her raise the stock higher in the shoulder and shortened it a notch so she was closer to the Aimpoint. (it’s a collapsible stock carbine)  She actually held it correctly until the soldier moved it down on her shoulder.  If you watch the uniformed gentleman raise his rifle you will notice how high on his shoulder it is and how low the recoil is.  (live ammo doesn’t recoil much more). The AR platform was designed to be shot that way, “Bring the rifle to your eyes, not the eyes to the rifle.”  And Buzzy is correct, it doesn’t work with high recoiling rifles.  Also note that the soldier instructing her is holding a collapsible stock carbine but when he shoots, it’s a non-collapsible stock rifle.

She would of (sic) dislocated her shoulder if that was a large caliber gun.

And if my uncle had been a woman, she would have been my aunt!

Since NATO doctrine dictates that our troops use a small caliber gun (.223), you are essentially saying that she fired a small caliber, automatic weapon the way one would fire a small caliber automatic weapon.

Buzz: Your meaningless drivel meets your usual low standards! Your classless, misogynistic insults, however, make you an ideal cheerleader for O’Blurry and Biden.

This whole conversation is basically pointless.

Just because you are a member of the NRA doesn’t mean you know how to shoot a gun.  It could simply mean that you support second amendment rights.

Secondly, how do we know this is simply a photo-op?  Did she use the pics in her campaign or something or is this just a video floating around the internet?

Why did everything have to be explained to her?  Maybe that’s just a soldier being a nice guy.  Maybe that stuff has to be explained for soldiers to let someone else use their weapons.  We simply don’t know.

Here’s what we do know:  She’s willing to fire big weapons.  She supports the NRA.  She’s still a babe.

The video is from a trip Palin took to Kuwait to visit Alaskan troops.  Clearly, given the quality of the video, the video itself wasn’t a photo-op.  But that doesn’t mean the event itself wasn’t a photo-op.

But even if it was, so what?

Also, you can have a lot of experience with guns and still be a novice when it comes to specific kinds of guns.  I’ve shot thousands of rounds from handguns and shotguns and rifles, but I’ve never shot an assault rifle.  If I was holding one and firing it for the first time I’d probably treat it as gingerly as Palin does in the video.

It wouldn’t mean I didn’t know what I was doing.  It would mean I was being cautious with a weapon I was inexperienced with.  Which is how responsible gun enthusiasts operate.

He said your hitting “CLOSE” to dead center.  Jeezus.

You guys are looking for anything to be happy about.  Ridichulous.


Instead of finding things to attack each other over, why don’t we find areas where we can agree, and find compromise long enough to take a step back and enjoy the recognition of our similarities? 

Then, we can take steps forward in a constructive way, together, to tackle the issues where we really do disagree.

The Coolest Video Of A VP Candidate With A Gun You’ll See All Day


Perfect illustration of the warlike messages the Right (bomb bomb Iran) is fond of sending. Diplomacy, peace and seeking a way to fix the problems that caused 9/11 are what a new leader should be focusing on.  Much of the anti-American sentiment around the world has been bred by our image as a warring nation invading a non-threat sovereign nation in defiance of UN resolutions and causing the needless death, maiming and suffering of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. We are seen as arrogant pistol-packing bullies. Sure it’s easy to say “who gives a shit what they think?”  But it is precisely what some think which is of the greatest importance for our nation’s security. Instead of showing the person who could become the leader of the world’s greatest nation holding up an olive branch symbolizing world peace and the prospect of finally achieving love and understanding among nations, she is shown firing a f*cking machine gun. I might add that the message is equally bad for our own children. We tell them how important our Pro-Life principles are while we go around brandishing implements designed for war and killing?  As a soccer mom, why isn’t she shown organizing a Peace Soccer Team made up of American and Iranian children among others, inculcated with the ethos of friendship and human values that have traditionally symbolized our country?
