Gov. Palin: No Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Rips Santorum

The Muslim Brotherhood should have no place in Egypt’s government, and the Obama administration has been remarkably absent on this issue, Governor Palin said at the conclusion of her TV interview with Sean Hannity last night. The former Alaska Governor and 2012 Presidential hopeful spoke about Obama’s unsound economic policies during the first two segments. Both Hannity and Gov. Palin agree that the Muslim Brotherhood has the expressly stated goal of establishing an Islamic caliphate based on Shariah law. The Brotherhood beheads and assassinates those who don’t buy into its seventh-century views which violate the most basic of womens’ rights, human rights, freedom and democratic processes.

Obama passed on the opportunity to take a stand, she said and by punting “gives us great pause as to what the President stands for and stands with.” She said – perhaps rhetorically – that Obama should have a steel spine and tell Americans what he thinks of the Muslim Brotherhood, its desires for Israel and the United States, and about Shariah law.

2012

On 2012 Gov. Palin said that she and all the other Presidential hopefuls are giving it prayerful consideration and consulting with their closest advisers and families. “I’m not going to put myself in a box and give a timeline,” Gov. Palin said.

Rick Santorum’s Comments

Gov. Palin’s reaction to Santorum’s sexist comments received the most attention. Santorum, a father of seven, was widely reported as saying that Gov. Palin is not attending CPAC because “she is the mother of all those kids.” He also took a jab at her schedule, stating that she chose other events for “financial gain.” Gov. Palin has declined CPAC’s invitations in the three prior years. She has never attended the conference. She said that with people out of work, losing their homes, and with our country still engaged in a war we should not focus on pettiness.

In response to Santorum’s sexist comment, Gov. Palin said:

“I think the reports were much worse than what he really said. I think some things maybe were really taken out of context. So I will not call him the knuckle dragging neanderthal that perhaps others would want to call him. I’ll let his wife call him that instead.”
