The Democratic National Committee on Saturday thanked Sarah Palin for the strange, erratic speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit.
During her speech, Palin defended her most recent media stunts, like the photo of her son using the family dog as a step stool and a picture of her holding a sign that read, “Fuc_ You Michael Moore.”
The former vice presidential candidate told conservatives that if they want to defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016, they will have to defend the GOP’s candidates.
“We don’t sit on our thumbs this next time when one of our own is being crucified and falsely accused of whatever the hip accusation of the day happens to be — racism, sexism, whatever,” Palin said, according to video posted by Right Wing Watch.
“It is they who point a finger not realizing that they have triple that amount of fingers pointing right back at them revealing that they are the ones who really discriminate and divide on color and class and sex,” Palin said about the left. “We call them out. We don’t let them get away with it.”
During Palin’s speech, both conservatives and liberals mocked her speech as incoherent.
In Iowa, Sarah Palin has used half of her allotted time talking about herself and taking jabs at media coverage.

So is this the Sarah Palin who is ‘seriously interested’ in running for president?

I don’t say this lightly. This is the strangest speech I’ve ever seen Sarah Palin deliver.

I cannot stress enough that this is *least amount of sense* I’ve heard Palin make. Not a Scott-Walker’s-charisma-level bar, either.

On Saturday evening following Palin’s speech, the DNC issued a short statement responding to her speech.
“Thank you!” DNC Communications Director Mo Elleithee said in the statement.
Run Sarah run!
Absolutely convinced she’s addicted to pharmaceuticals (as well as attention and cash).
I’d love to see her as the R nominee for a lot of reasons–not least of which would be the fun of watching her debate Hillary.
oh yes, sing it out loud and often ms bachman, opps, ms blackburn,opps again, ms ernst, damn.
Oh I got it, demented NITWIT caught in her own circle of evolution. Run mouth, get paid, run mouth get paid, go home rent limo, get drunk, crash parties and stake your families claim to the fame of being true ammerikans.
good luck with that.
I figured early-stage dementia but your explanation makes at least as much sense.
