A late observation:
It’s amazing how perfectly Sarah Palin pronounced the name of the southern Indian state Andhra Pradesh.
And, why did she mention that state, after all, she was only looking to make a point of geographical bookends! Did she do it to show off, to hint her awareness of Telangana headlines, acknowledge the value of Cyberabad to US economy, or is she foreshadowing future for Andhra Pradesh in a Sarah Palin administration? All very intriguing items…
The Q and A session just started.
Sarah scores hugely with Indians when she sounds alarm about China. Historical negative relations, China’s big brother approach to Asian countries, aggression against India — all cause Sarah’s China comments to be warmly received by Indians. Sorry Americans, forget the cheap crap you buy.
“I am not going to sit back and take it..”
Her comments on mainstream media gets a loud applause …
Thank you Rediff for livestreaming – we love our governor!
First things first.
The haters are out in full strength, with their usual vapid gusto and vitriol.
It behooves the followers of Sarah Palin to get into the act, and answer them jab for jab.
Go here to listen, get on facebook and twiiter. Support the lady!
Amazing Fact:
“Alaska is huge, almost as big as half of India”
“It is false, that we don’t need to drill for new oil in America”
“My vision for America — boldly engages in leadership”
“India’s strong women leaders..”
“Mother Theresa’s message of the sanctity of live”
“Our two democracies understand the hunger for freedom”
Sarah Palin compares The Boston Teaparty with The Dandi Salt March — awesome, extraordinary and original feat of rhetoric .. Bravo Sarah!
The greatest terrorist threat is? “Nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorist groups”
President Obama often gets praise for pronouncing Paaakisthaan so well, will Sarah Palin get praise for pronouncing Ahmedinejad right?
Bravo Sarah!!!
She scores again!!
She uses the magical word, “De-Hyphenation” a code word in diplomacy — India and Pakistan are not equal, equivalent or equivocal in US view — that alone wins her more popularity in India and among Indian-Americans.
You folks are CLUELESS. Even Fox Cable folks (one of her employers) has been critical. You cougars (pumas) can’t keep allowing her to keep whining about mainstream media and playing the victim. Do you really thinki a serious presidential candidate (let along an actual president of the free world) can keep avoiding talking to the rest of the media indefinately??? SHE CAN”T HANDLE anything except continuing making her usual talking points to her fan base. The super-grisly mama is afraid to take on the big folks (she couldn’t even handle “Katy). She is not a puma, just a sissy and whinner.
Erin,
I stumbled upon this site and felt compelled to assure you most Indians had no clue Sarah Palin was in India because the Wikileaks Cash4Votes scandal broke at the same time as her trip. The few of us who kept track of her heard a very different speech than the author of this blog.
I invite you to read IndiaReloaded.TV’s coverage of Palin’s India trip here: http://indiareloaded.tv/article/sarah-palin-india
and check out my live blog of the same speech here: http://punditcommentator.blogspot.com/2011/03/happy-holi-live-blogging-sarah-palins.html
Take care.

You mean she could fit all those comments on the palms of her hands. She is not authorized to speak on foreign policy for the US–she is an embarrassment!!!

You are so completely off, factually and rhetorically, that the comment is almost an embarrassment. I only say almost embarrassment because, at this blog we believe everyone is entitled to opine and express. So, your civil comment is welcome. We just disagree.

Please listen to the 8-minute introduction she was given (it’s online). The gentleman was mocking her!!!

Obviously, I heard different. He was quite nice in tone, indulgent in praise, and summarized well the general thought about her. He didn’t put her on a pedestal as I am likely to, nor did he tear her down like her detractors like to. Thanks for commenting.
