#SarahPalinDoes Lights Up Twitter

In response to a comment from Tucker Carlson during an interview with Greta Van Susteren, Palin supporters set Twitter "on fire" with #SarahPalinDoes. As usual, Twitchy did a great job in featuring some of the best tweets here.

Mr. Carlson, in his infinite wisdom (or his complete ineptness) uttered, during Van Susteren's interview, that he was "not clear what Sarah Palin does".  In my opinion, Carlson is simply part of the main stream (lame stream) media whose agenda is to tear down the most powerful and influential voice for grassroots Conservatives. I'm going to go out on and limb and guess that Mr. Carlson is not familiar with the following:  It is often said in Alaska that “the Alaskan political landscape is littered with the bodies of those who underestimated Sarah Palin.”

In response to tweets with hashtag #SarahPalinDoes, Sarah Palin tweeted the following message of thanks:

#SarahPalinDoes appreciate support from those who are in it for a reason, not a season.

Thanks Governor Palin.  We've got your back too. 

Palin: 'The Door is Wide Open'

Yesterday's buzz was the story that Sarah Palin chose not to renew her contract with the FOX Network.  Today's story is Palin's exclusive and fiery interview with Stephen K. Bannon of Breitbart News.  Readers may recall that Mr. Bannon produced "The Undefeated", a documentary on Palin's personal and political life. 

This interview is Palin at her best.  She's unshackled now!

Palin: 'We Haven't Yet Begun to Fight!'—Exclusive Interview with Breitbart News

by Stephen K. Bannon:

In my research for the film I made on Governor Palin, The Undefeated, I was constantly amazed at the anti-establishment stands she took at every step in her rise to power. Moves that a conventional politician would run from, she embraced: in Wasilla, in Juneau, and in the rise of the Tea Party. Her ability to see “over the hill” to what is really important, what really matters, is what sets her apart.

Andrew Breitbart embraced the Governor as a fellow warrior in the long struggle against a detached and venal political/media complex. He lives on in spirit and through the work of those he inspired—including, but not limited to, those who report and contribute at his site.

The Governor has been at the forefront of the fight against the Permanent Political Class and, as such, inspired Peter Schweizer and myself in our work last night on Fox News with Sean Hannity’s special “Boomtown.” We consider ourselves honored at Breitbart News to have her share with us her thoughts on the road ahead in this exclusive Q & A.

1. What's next for you?

Short term: I encourage others to step out in faith, jump out of the comfort zone, and broaden our reach as believers in American exceptionalism. That means broadening our audience. I’m taking my own advice here as I free up opportunities to share more broadly the message of the beauty of freedom and the imperative of defending our republic and restoring this most exceptional nation. We can't just preach to the choir; the message of liberty and true hope must be understood by a larger audience. 

Focus on the 2014 election is also imperative. It’s going to be like 2010, but this time around we need to shake up the GOP machine that tries to orchestrate away too much of the will of constitutional conservatives who don’t give a hoot how they do it in DC. DC is out of touch, obviously. Voices on the right like Mark Levin, Rush, and the writers here at Breitbart have come out strongly against the “go along to get along” politicians who wave the white flag before the battle even begins. We’re not going to be able to advance the cause of limited constitutional government unless we deal with these big government enablers on our side. And this all ties into the problem of crony capitalism and the permanent political class in the Beltway. We need to consistently take them on election after election – ever vigilant.

As far as long-term plans, the door is wide open. I know the country needs more truth-telling in the media, and I’m willing to do that. So, we shall see. And always in the center of it all I have an awesome, full, exciting, and large family living in a very unique part of America that keeps me hopping! I love it!   More

Palin: Offer to Renew FOX Contract Reportedly Declined

Supporters of Sarah Palin knew that her contract with FOX was set to expire at the end of 2012 but over the last three weeks absolutely nothing was leaked regarding those contract negotiations.  Today, that all changed with breaking news from Real Clear Politics:

Sarah Palin Parts Ways With FOX News

After a three-year run as a paid contributor to the nation’s highest-rated cable news channel, Sarah Palin and FOX News have cut ties, according to a source close to the former Alaska governor.

“It’s my understanding that Gov. Palin was offered a contract by FOX, and she decided not to renew the arrangement,” the source close to Palin told RCP. “She remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism across the country and will be expanding her voice in the national discussion.”

The source declined to say whether Palin would pursue a television contract with another news network, such as CNN.

Bill Shine, Executive Vice President at FOX, subsequently issued a statement to the New York Times confirming the news, saying, “We have thoroughly enjoyed our association with Governor Palin. We wish her the best in her future endeavors.”  More

Palin: We Are A Bankrupt Country

Sarah Palin appeared with Sean Hannity declaring that "we are a bankrupt country" and urged Republicans to go back to the planks of their platform and what they represent.  She further stated that those planks represent reigning in government and giving the power and the responsibility to the individual.  Palin also reminded listeners to read history and learn how mighty empires of the past have fallen. 

Palin: There is No Moral Compass in this Administration

Sarah Palin appeared "On The Record" with Greta Van Susteren to discuss the shocking revelation that our State Department did know, in real time, that the Benghazi attack was an act of terror.  Emails reveal that some 300-400 people may have also known. 

Governor Palin went on to say that there is no moral compass in this administration and that there is no moral compass in our main stream media.  Palin cited that our sons and daughters are fighting for that freedom of the press in America and yet there is abuse of that freedom of the press. "They think they are free to lie to the American people about what's going on."

President Obama took center stage last night at the DNC, but are voters really buying his plan? Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin weighs in tonight on 'Hannity'

Palin: The Status Quo Has Got to Go!

Governor Sarah Palin appeared with Neil Cavuto on September 6th providing commentary on the 2012 Democratic National Convention.  There were several take away quotes but most memorable was, in my opinion, "Smart women know the status quo has got to go"!

FOX Cancels Palin's Appearances for Tonight

Posted to Sarah Palin's Facebook page:

I’m sorry Fox cancelled all my scheduled interviews tonight because I sure wanted to take the opportunity on the air to highlight Senator John McCain’s positive contributions to America, to honor him, and to reflect on what a biased media unfairly put him through four years ago tonight. Granted, our honored and esteemed war hero has gone through much more than the liberal media can ever do to him in their efforts to harm this patriot. I look forward to hearing his words to his fellow Americans tonight more than any of the other convention speeches. God bless John McCain. Thank you for everything. And happy birthday, my friend.
