Sarah Palin calls for invasion of Czech Republic

    Sarah Sarah Sarah.....she's at it again. Scarlet for her. :o

    Sarah Palin called for the invasion of the Czech Republic today in response to the recent terrorist attacks in Boston.

    In an interview with Fox News, the former governor of Alaska said that although federal investigators have yet to complete their work, the time for action is now.

    "We don't know everything about these suspects yet," Palin told Fox and Friends this morning, referring to Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who allegedly carried out the Boston Marathon attacks. "But we know they were Muslims from the Czech Republic.

    "I betcha I speak for a lot of Americans when I say I want to go over there right now and start teaching those folks a lesson. And let's not stop at the Czech Republic, let's go after all Arab countries.

    "The Arabians need to learn that they can't keep comin' over here and blowing stuff up. Let's set off a couple of nukes in Islamabad, burn down Prague, then bomb the heck out of Tehran. We need to show them that we mean business."
    Can't See Russia...

    Although hosts Steve Doocy and Gretchen Carlson applauded Palin's jingoism, they immediately attempted to rectify her multiple geographic errors.

    "Well Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan, which isn't Arab," Carlson corrected, "and Tehran is the capital of Iran, which is predominantly Persian. But I do see your point."

    "Also Czech Republic isn't really an Arab or even Muslim country, I don't think," Doocy added, "but otherwise what you're saying makes a lot of sense. I think most Americans wish Obama would step up and lead on this one."

    Palin, however, didn't take kindly to being corrected and defended her analysis.

    "Steve, that's probably one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. How is Czech Republic not a Muslim country? You saw those brothers, they were Islamic and they were Chechen!"

    "Yes there were Muslim and they were ethnic Chechens," Doocy started, "but they grew up mostly in Kyrgyzstan and the United States. And more importantly, Chechens don't come from the Czech Republic, they come from Chechnya, which is part of Russia. "

    "What's the difference?" Palin responded. "Isn't Russia part of the Czech Republic?"

    "No, the Czech Republic is a separate country. It's part of the European Union and a strong NATO ally," Doocy noted. "But heck, why not? Let's invade. What could go wrong?"

    "Yeah and while we're at it," Carlson added, "let's call the Queen of England and see if the U.K. will join us."

    In a statement released after the interview, Palin attacked Fox News and its "pro-Islamic" and "pro-geography" bias.

    "This is just another case of the politically correct liberal media refusing to tell the truth about radical Islam," she said.

    '...Let's set off a couple of nukes in Islamabad, burn down Prague, then bomb the heck out of Tehran'

    I can only sincerely hope the OP didn't believe this was legitimate.

    Curse Fox news and its pro-Geography agenda!

    Yeah, that's not real.

    It was originally on the Daily Currant which is a satire website.

    For some real Sarah Palin facepalmery check out this:

    He's czeching now to see if it's genuine.

    Even if it is satire I could totally imagine Palin giving out about a '"pro-geography" bias'

    Sounds like something she'd say alright but not in reference to her beloved Fox News. Also, Palin reportedly referring to Fox News as "politically correct liberal media" should possibly have set some alarm-bells ringing!

    This just really adds to solidify and cement the perception I already held of a lot of Americans understanding of what goes on outside of their quite big land mass.

    They really really haven't got a clue..... obviously not all people are as ignorant as Sarah but good god..... I am just downright speechless.

    Emmm did you read any of the other posts in the thread? Its quite obviously a fake news site, tbh i reckon your worse than the OP as far as gullibility goes, you had a whole page of replies telling you it was fake and still managed to miss the obvious satire

    I for one didn't find this parody funny. We knew she was dumb already. The fact that this story is going somewhat viral is frightening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,631 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    I do really think you were fooled OP. I found this story on websites I have never even heard about before.

    You really are licking your wounds now on that one.

    Even if I don't like her myself; Sarah Palin is not going to be that stupid in saying that rubbish in an interview.

    The fact that other sites are reporting it as news is the sign of damn good satire

    With respects, I'd followed the initial post of the thread, had my response typed and through varying degrees of work was delayed in my posting.

    I was clearly not alone in my being duped albeit probably the more vocal part of the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭Busted Flat.


    It is typical of something she would come out with. Like "I can see Russia from my bedroom window". The clown McCain wanted her to be his VP. Holy Moley.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Finally I've found a use for my Geography degree. If Fox are "pro-geography" then that's good enough for me :D

    How cutting-edge 2008ish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,836 ✭✭✭Sir Gallagher


    Oh they really caught us out with that satire, just like those rascals at the onion, top notch humour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Hmm, a blog linking to another blog.

    Is there an ounce of truth in this?

    No.

    It is a parody, but even I believed that she said this, because she is, like half of the United States, are capable of saying things like this

    A person even on Twitter wanted WWIII to break out because he thought that Russia was behind it. OK, he later tweeted that his source was "wrong", but to think that they want to start a war on just the death of three innocent people and plenty injured, just sends a shiver down my spine


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,294 ✭✭✭LiamoSail


    Obviously fake. No way would Sarah Palin know that Prague is the Czech capital

    Did you ever watch the Woody Harrelson, Ed Harris, Julianne Moore TV film Game Change about her selection and grooming during that campaign ?

    If even half of it is true then it is scary to think that through some twist of faith she could have been number 2 in charge of the US nuclear arsenal. :eek:

    I am not allowed discuss …
