Sarah Palin’s fans go rogue on the definition of socialism! Yay! America = saved!

Okay, I wasn’t going to write about that stupid person Sarah Palin and her fake bus tour anymore but then a very mean person who wishes to remain anonymous (communist!) tipped me off about this C-SPAN video. It starts off with a bunch of people speaking in tongues, which is fairly standard for these Palin book signings, but after about the 5:30 mark the seemingly nice Christiany ladies start redefining socialism and it’s filled with comical blank stares and simple things to understand! And then a very angry lookin’-down grandma starts talking like a smart version of Amy Siskind and then becomes Michael Savage and says things like “loony liberals” until she gets so very enraged that she calls Obama “some little squirt” (she really does!) and starts wildly feasting on the spleen of the cameraman. The end.

OH MY GOD! I know that woman! Her name is Dixie Bruggeman!

The first woman in the interview is from my hometown. Years ago, I used to work in a picture frame shop and she would come in and order framing. And then she didn’t come get it. We had one of her orders in our shop attic for years.

She has always been a flake. None of us in the shop liked waiting on her, so we made our boss do it. I’ll bet you if I said I saw Dixie on YouTube, he’d laugh his ass off.

I love the blank stare from the women when she’s asked what socialism is. It reminded me of that scene in ‘Spinal Tap’ when Nigel is asked why his amp goes to “11” instead of making “10” louder.

On the upside, statistically speaking, the grandma-type will not be with us too many years longer.

“Socialism is a mindset.” “I don’t like what Obama is doing.”

Basically what Obama is doing is attempting to make government actually work. This is the opposite of the Bush administration. Everyone knows that Bush—and all other Republican presidents—is a “true American.” A government run by a “true American” is a democracy. Since Obama is not a “true American,” whatever his administration does must be socialism.

Now I get it.

Too bad the interviewer didn’t ask them whether they believed Obama is a natural born citizen, or whether their families had ever received any type of farm subsidy from the federal government, or whether are receiving Medicaid or SS benefits.

P.S. I was very disappointed that there was no actual spleen feast in the video.

Jason, I may try a video mashup of those two. If it works, I will lavish you with hat tips.
