Gov. Palin Gives "Stirring Speech" at NRA Banquet



Governor Palin attended an NRA banquet last night in Anchorage, where she gave a speech and also received awards. From the NRA Blog:

A star-studded banquet concluded the events of the NRA's XVIII Gun Collectors Seminar in Anchorage, Alaska on Saturday night, August 1, 2009.

[...]

Seminar activities included sessions on World War II in Alaska as well as the life of the common soldier of the American revolution and culminated Saturday evening with a visit from former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin who gave a stirring speech on 2nd Amendment rights. Following the speech she was presented with Life Memberships in The Missouri Valley Arms Collectors Association, Ohio Gun Collectors Association and the Dallas Arms Collectors Association. The members of the Missouri Valley Arms Collectors Association also presented Gov. Palin with an NRA Benefactor Life Membership as well. She was also presented with the NRA's Gold Medal Award of Merit for the Promotion of Gun Collecting. This is only the second time in 10 years the award has been presented on behalf of the NRA's Gun Collectors Committee.

Thanks for posting this! I just saw the link to this on her Facebook page.

Nancy August 2, 2009 8:51 PM  

Governor Palin tweet:
Here I am! I went to the one place I knew the media would never be!

JeanA August 2, 2009 8:53 PM  

How many time have I told you guys

I LUV THIS SITE?????

Nancy August 2, 2009 8:54 PM  

Could someone please tell her she is supposed to be upset about her impending divorce?

EdFab August 2, 2009 8:55 PM  

Which one of the media brights only a day or so ago wrote an article about Sarah's disappearance?

They look so completely dumb and inadequate right now. Yes, that means you, CBS.

Nancy August 2, 2009 8:57 PM  

Somebody tell the media: Governor Palin is talking about bearing something! But spell it "baring", it'll confuse them!

CodaCuda August 2, 2009 8:58 PM  

Good work EdFad. That made my nite.

May be somebody could e-mail Meg and ask her to post a transcript of the speech.

bestbud August 2, 2009 8:58 PM  

Do you guys know where to see the speech?

Nancy August 2, 2009 8:59 PM  

EdFab,
You have done what the media couldn't do! Awesome catch!

Holly August 2, 2009 8:59 PM  

I'd love to see a video! I can't get enough of hearing her speak...I'm going through withdraws now!

Lipstick August 2, 2009 8:59 PM  

Good grief!
Did any one know about this? The press is all over the Guv's trips to the frig during a commercial break and we did not know about this?

Looks like the 'Cuda is on the sly here. The NRA is a great support area if you are looking to, I don't know, maybe get back into elected office.

Sheya August 2, 2009 9:00 PM  

Daniel, you ARE fast!
Drudge doesn’t even have it yet, i emailed him.

ousoonerfan15 August 2, 2009 9:02 PM  

I have a feeling Sarah will start tweeting again in the next few days. With her little quote on the rumors yesterday and now giving a speech at this event. We will see, but I think Sarah will start to ease slowly back into the public eye pretty soon.

EdFab August 2, 2009 9:03 PM  

I was going to leave a commment on the NRA blog, asking if they would send the transcript of the speech to this site, but decided against it. Probably the editors here should contact Meg. That would be the proper avenue to take.

Puma for Life August 2, 2009 9:03 PM  

I just saw this on TeamSarah and was going to post a note to you. You beat me!! Keep up the good work.

JeanA August 2, 2009 9:05 PM  

Did Gov. Palin ever get that gun from the NRA?

Sheya August 2, 2009 9:05 PM

Stephanie August 2, 2009 9:05 PM  

Is it wrong to be a full grown *ahem* middle aged woman actually giddy over Sarah being sighted somewhere?

I feel like a little kid sneaking a peak under the Christmas tree, and seeing a new bike!

Oh good. Finally some movement.

Lipstick August 2, 2009 9:06 PM

We need video. We need pics. We need a transcript of the speech. We need a Twitter account guv.


Sample Twitter from the guv last night:

Maybe if the Simi Valley Women had been more discreet she'd be speaking there, also.
I love that she did this on her own terms without media attention or any sort of leak. Tells me she has control of her organization and her message.

Yes, PDX is Portland. Portland International Airport. It is a gateway destination and one of the Alaska Air hub terminals.

And if she did end up doing a layover at PDX for a few hours, I can honestly say I MISSED IT! :(

i think sarah is going to lay low for a while so maybe we should just respect her privacy.

Sheya August 2, 2009 9:42 PM  

Hey guys, how about a C4P convention and secretly invite Sarah to speak! We’ll love it and I believe so will she.

wisetrog August 2, 2009 9:44 PM  

Why'd she take her whole family to meet Vincent? I'd think Vincent would be available to go n meet her in Alaska.

Hopefully, she'll start pickin n choosin n puttin together her team.

Dan C August 2, 2009 9:44 PM  

I am becoming more and more confident that Sarah's energy independence agenda will really catch on either in 2012 or 2016 whenever.

We currently are just under $70 per barrel of oil during a period in the USA where demand is down to the very bad economy. Think about what will happen if and when the economy recovers? Oil might go down again if the economy takes another deflationary dive, but the fact that we are at just under $70 right now when the economy is this weak, should really worry people.

That is why her ideas to do EVERYTHING will resonate. Drilling, solar, wind, natural gas, nuke, to name a few which has been her position all along. DO IT ALL, AND DO IT NOW!

Sheya August 2, 2009 9:45 PM  

Let’s not get to ahead of ourselves we’re basing it on an unconfirmed tweet from someone we don’t know. If Sarah wants to “lay low” we should let her. Let us not elevate this story.

Lakerfanalways August 2, 2009 9:48 PM  

Wait..so Sarah did this speech last night and now she is in San Diego? That is a pretty quick flight, if we were to believe this person..and I know this may be a dumb question, but what is PDX..Phoenix?
Maybe they are going to Sea World, the Simi valley event isn't until this Saturday so there would be no reason for her to go there now

Lipstick August 2, 2009 9:56 PM  

Sarah would need to be incognito on the beach, she could easily do that.

Bean Counter August 2, 2009 9:58 PM  

I've got a buddy who is working on the production crew for some of the Hannity freedom concerts. I don't know if he's going to work the SD one, but I told him to let me know if the Gov. showed up at any of them.

Lakerfanalways August 2, 2009 9:59 PM  

Maybe she is going to LegoLand, My cousins parents live in Lake Elsinore, damn, perhaps I should call them and tell them to get to the airport..nah, Sarah should be left alone, they have a lot of awesome stuff in San Diego to do.

wisetrog August 2, 2009 9:59 PM  

Forgive me, wasn't Sarah already pictured in something like that? BTW, if the One can have pics taken with his moobs showing, I don't see why Sarah shouldn't be seen in a bathsuit. Is there a burqa system in America?

Now that she's divorced and Todd has custody of the kids, all she'd have to do is sign her autographs as Tina Fey!

Nancy August 2, 2009 10:02 PM  

Lipstick,
If she wanted to be incognito, she could just wear her wedding ring. It's supposed to be at the bottom of that lake, and the media is stupidly. It would throw them off, big time!

Lipstick August 2, 2009 10:05 PM  

I'm thinking the Guv could easily pull off a classy bathing suit on the beach shot with the kids in tow. The MSM would give her a hard time, but hey, she can go to the beach & with all that running I am thinking she is looking pretty good in a bathing suit. I am thinking all the guys here would appreciate a little beach action for the Guv.

Lakerfanalways August 2, 2009 10:05 PM  

Ok I removed my post. Didn't want to cause any problems. I hope McCain and riehl. are instrumental in revealing that sack of crap and bringing him down. A nut like that shouldn't be allowed near children. Wait, maybe she went to San Diego because since she threw the wedding ring into the river, and knowing the current, it is somehow in San Diego and she is retrieving it lol

Brilliant catch. The wedding ring is the perfect disguise. Plus, it would not ruin her tan line!

If you play with fire with someone's reputation like that then you ought to "man up" and put your name on it. You are making up lies, not doing undercover work for the CIA that will save lives.

I don't want the guy physically hurt, no way. but professionally? He is trying to do that to someone who is honest by LYING about her. If you dish it out, open wide buddy.

How did Sarah speak at the NRA Alaska convention last night and it not be posted on this board last night or early this morning?

Ha! The national media was too busy beating her up for supposedly turning down the Reagan Library women to know she would be speaking last night at the NRA! LOL! They'll be pissed for days. This is all Meg's fault. Doesn't she know she must inform the Politico and MSNBC gang about Sarah's every move!

Sarah and Todd (and the kids) are on their way to Southern California to do some fun things for a few days this week in San Diego, then rent a car and drive across the border to Tijuana to get a proper divorce or marriage annulment in Mexico.

All the people that read his crap repeat it over and over.

Is it true that after Governor Palin chucked her ring into the lake, CD dove in after it, like a little hobbit in Lord of The Rings? She came out dripping wet, with a silly grin on her face, mumbling: My precious, oh, my precious!

And then Andree came along and snatched it away.

Maybe that whole scene was just my imagination.

wisetrog August 2, 2009 10:49 PM  

That Wapo report was positive actually. It shows the Mccain camp as basically useless but Sarah comes out looking great. Her utter confidence is amazing. Bottomline, Sarah made it because she was able to knock the answers in interview, particularly nat sec questions which Culvahouse already reported the other contestant bungled.

If you want to know how inept Mccain campaign was, read this:

No one had given members the advance word that they needed to prepare background material.

wisetrog August 2, 2009 10:51 PM

wisetrog August 2, 2009 11:03 PM  

The reason there were so many rumors about her was that Mccain campaign f*ed up very badly. They didn't have talking points ready, they didn't have background material ready. No wonder the press turned to Alaska ankle-biter blogs to fill the void. FFS, they started to download material from Alaska state website once the press started to bombard them with questions! No wonder they lost control of the narrative right from the start. They never had it in the first place.

WOW!!!

The Cuda speaks at the NRA Banquet!

I would love to know what the president of NRA and Sarah said, about that Witch Feinstein...
Hey Di, your going to meet your Waterloo with the Cuda. Hehehe

Waterloo, Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to...Waterloo Waterloo

narciso August 2, 2009 11:05 PM  

It's a good piece, they leave out some of the major questions that Culvahouse asked of a national security background. The only flaw
was the McCain campaign officials who really were inept when the pressure came on. It took them almost a year to piece this together

Stephanie August 2, 2009 11:07 PM  

This particular blogger seems to think he'll get out of anything he's done if Sarah takes him to court because she's a public figure. Todd is not & what he wrote about Todd is worse, IMO.

Besides, he flat out says that it should not be considered a rumor. I have a feeling that he's going to wish he hadn't called Van Flein's bluff on this one. After all, she's no longer a govenor. She is a private citizen, now, too.

baboonking August 2, 2009 11:08 PM  

in my opinion sarah should lay low for a while (a long while) and do these sort of speaking events away from the media limelight and when the public starts to turn on the dems and obama she can comeback as a reformer to the old ways of doing politics.

Uffda August 2, 2009 11:09 PM  

I love the part of the article where they had to lower the lecturn for her. The advance team was expecting Romney. Sarah's not the tallest person, which is why the heels and the tall hair. "The little lady that started the big war."

Uffda August 2, 2009 11:10 PM

ousoonerfan15 August 2, 2009 11:14 PM  

who knows if Palin is in SD or not. I take any anonymous story about Palin with a MASSIVE grain of salt. But if she is I bet its just for a short vacation thing. Maybe getting a little work done too. I highly doubt it will be too long because if she is there in Cali during the same period as the Regan speech the media will start asking what was going on. Probably just a quick vacay and had some quick work to do. Just my opinion.

Uffda August 2, 2009 11:15 PM  

Wow. Sarah must have been praying for Dan.

Sheya August 2, 2009 11:19 PM  

The WaPo is a nice piece makes Sarah look good. Nothing there I didn’t know. Among many things it makes clear that. A) Palin was selected as a game changer. B) The McCain camp was disastrously unorganized. C) Palin is tough-minded and self-assured. D) Besides the top 4-5 advisors no one in the campaign were aware of her selection until it broke in the media. E) Would they have prepared themselves better Palin perception in the country today would be much better.

Bottom Line. Thanks for McCain for introducing her to America, but if Sarah runs her campaign must run like clockwork.

I doubt this is the only part of the book about Palin. Hope the other chapters are as factual as this one rather than going after Palin with SNL stuff. If it’s fair I’ll buy it.

I'm sure Sarah would forgive him, for what he has done, but it's too little, too late in my book. He was part of the lynch mob that helped drive a decent wife and mother and honest public official with a 'servant's heart' out of office, besmirched her reputation

Patty Hewes August 2, 2009 11:30 PM  

"Palin, unruffled and self-confident, said she got it. Salter asked her about her statements in support of creationism. Did she disbelieve the theory of evolution? "No," she told them. "My father's a science teacher." Salter later told journalist and author Robert Draper how "tough-minded and self-assured" Palin was that night."


"While Palin was being driven to Sedona, McCain spoke to Culvahouse by telephone about the previous night's interview. Culvahouse gave a positive report. She had knocked some of the broader questions out of the park, he told McCain. She would not necessarily be ready on Jan. 20, 2009, to be vice president, but in his estimation few candidates ever are. Culvahouse believed she had a lot of capacity"

"The previous February, McCain had met Palin in Washington when he hosted several governors attending a National Governors Association meeting. She had impressed him during a discussion of energy policy. Palin also was at a reception McCain hosted for Republican governors, and they spent a few more minutes talking that night"

Like a child who walks into the kitchen and back out and back into the kitchen and back out... knowing that the food is coming soon but, well, just looking...

That's C4P, the place I go "just to see what's cookin'" in the news about Sarah.

Finally, ahhh, my wish is fulfilled... some Sarah news... but I'm not filled full, and I'm feelin' FINE!!!

When are you comin' down, Sarah?

There is something good, very, very, VERY GOOD originating in Alaska and flowing to the lower 48 states of America.

* Some artists paint with brushes and paint and strokes and shades of color to "ooh la la" you...

* Some artists paint with sound and silence of music to "emote" you...

* Some artists paint with encouraging words to "persuade" you...

Yes... This is definitely Sarah, all right, isn't it?

Yes... Sarah knows... encouraging words that communicate "fulfillment" about the future.

Two interesting tidbits in the brief NRA blog about the Anchorage seminar:

1) Wayne Anthony Ross (WAR) hosted the four-day NRA seminar. So that's who arranged for Governor Palin to speak and, of course, with their relationship, it was done on the Q.T.

2) The highly visible national figure and spokesperson, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre, was present in Anchorage for the seminar. Wonder if he and the Guv talked about potential events and tie-ins for the future? Important contact for Governor Palin!

Laurehn August 3, 2009 12:01 AM  

Found this over at NewsBusters and its scary stuff.

Here's a current summary of some of the horrors of the House Obamacare bill:

What's Really Inside the Democrat WelfCare Bill: http://directorblue.blogspot.com

One of my favorites:

"Pg 58 HC Bill – Government will have real-time access to individual’s finances and a National ID Health Care Card will be issued."
"Pg 59 HC Bill lines 21-24 Government will have direct access to your banks accounts for electronic funds transfer."

Funny isn't it, those same liberals that go nuts over the prospect of having to show ID when you vote, "because it's so difficult for some folks to get those IDs", have not problem with a National ID Card, or excuse me, a Government Health Care card. And President George W. Bush's SWIFT program to intercept terrorist funding drove them into a frenzy, but Obamacare will give the government access to all of your bank accounts and finance records.

If you go to the new site that has opened in the actual name of Ms. Mud, it's even funnier!

I'm sorry, but these people have done nothing, but go after Palin in the worst way. I'm not going to feel bad, if other bloggers go after them. C4P didn't do it to them. They did it to themselves, and we were not involved in outing them.

Mccain's site is getting hammered by the left! They are spouting all kinds of guff about someone on C4P threatening the life of Gryphon. I must have missed that, but these people post all kinds of hateful garbage about Sarah, and freak out about something that I don't believe was done here. They are seriously unstable.


"Isabella said...
Those posting here are on the same as on C4P. Make sure you link everyone to both commentaries to see what kind of lunacy Palin attracts. It is well known Palin herself endorses, as does her PAC C4P and their harassments. Palin knows these individuals are wired wrong. Guilt by inciting should anything happen to Grph will be at her feet.

I have already sent these links and screen shots of comments to both of Palin's attorneys, SarahPAC, Stapleton, FCC and law enforcement agencies in Alaska. Anything happens, anything at all, there will be accountability by those who encouraged hostile acts.

Whoever believes they are anonymous behind their screens, you are about to get a wake up call."


As I said before, there is something inherrantly wrong with these people. This is not even the worst of the posts over there.
