OH my GOD. What a nightmare. I don't know, she's "tolerant" of gay friends. You know that age-old, I have a [friend], so I'm not [racist, sexist, ageist]. Or was the diversity a nod to her daughter's pregnancy? She speaks in run-ons, she was completely scripted, and the moments where she deviated she winked into the camera or used the word "doggone," she couldn't even answer some of the questions because she hadn't been prepared. I am so crazy wound up.
i think by "diverse" she means that she "knows" a gay person.
i would consider myself to fairly open-minded, but i'd never call my family "diverse." um, we're all white christians. i'm willing to bet her family is very very similar. :P
I think she's talking about the fact that her husky-racing husband claims to be part Eskimo (Inuit?) or something. Not a big deal here, but I believe that is a big deal in her home state. And don't forget she also has one child that has down syndrome and another that is an unwed teen mom. Not the sort of diversity to celebrate, but diverse nonetheless.
I nearly died when she deliberately winked at me 15 minutes into the debate. And then I wondered why she kept waving at me . . . was she saying hi to me?
On a serious note, it was annoying that she wouldn't answer questions that Gwen asked her because she didn't know the answer.
She confuses me as well. Maybe it's because she can't put together a coherent thought unless she's reading right from a set of talking points. And even then....
The whole time I watched this debate I kept waiting for "It's Saturday Night Live...."
ReplyDeleteI did see an interview with her where she said she had a "gay" friend.
Maybe that is what she is talking about?

That irritated me each time she said it. Along with many of her other ignorant comments.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me this is all a bad joke . It must be.
I'll put this link up on my blog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jltqTRmiVjg
ReplyDeleteYou will laugh.
I called BS to Sarah Palin during the debate ( yes, I talk to the tv) when she said this!! If that were so she would find another word for tolerant.
ReplyDeleteIf this is a joke, it is the worst joke ever.
ReplyDeleteShe probably wouldn't be able to tell you if you asked her.
ReplyDeleteshe is really condescending, isn't she. ugh.

you already know my thoughts on this.
ReplyDeleteI keep hoping this is all just a bad dream.
Um...there are boys and girls in her family? I don't know. *shrug*

ReplyDeleteI seriously wonder the same thing. She seriously is a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteugh. she is the antichrist.
ReplyDeletescripted was what i thought too. she had no emotion or passion in her eyes for what she was saying.
ReplyDeletei think diverse also meant that she has democrats & independents in her family too. blah blah blah
I had the same thought. Ugh. Hate.
ReplyDeleteshe looks confused as hell in this picture.
ReplyDeletenook-yoo-ler, anyone?
