Al Gore's Current TV Calls Sarah Palin a 'Gun-Ho' and a 'TWILF'

These disgraceful, sexually-charged epithets were part of an attack on prominent conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, and came in the form of a cartoon ironically titled "The Stupid Virus":
"When a lab-monkey declares that President Obama wasn't born in America, he becomes Patient Zero for a new brand of fear-based news virus - Fearus Ignoramus. We watch as the virus goes ear-borne, spreading from Rush Limbaugh to CNN to the mainstream-media to the general public. America devolves into panic, convinced its President is an illegal alien anti-Christ."
In the end, this was just a lot of conservative bashing in very bad taste, especially the shot of Palin's Twitter page and her astonishingly offensive screen name "Gun-Ho" (video embedded below the fold, vulgarity alert, h/t Breitbart TV).
Did you notice Palin's screen name at Twitter was "Gun-Ho?"
After Palin tweeted, Brian Williams of NBC's "Nightly News" reported it as the "Top Story," and in the right of the screen was the word "twilf" with a question mark after it (h/t Amanda Carpenter)
This appears to either be a take on the acronym MILF with the "TW" standing for "Twitterer," or an urban dictionary reference way too disgusting to address.
Regardless, is that what a former Vice President and Nobel Laureate believes is acceptable to call a former Governor and vice presidential candidate?
Lest we not forget the vulgar attack on Beck at the end.
And these folks wonder why they're continually having to lay people off!

I'm assuming I'm in one of Current TVs core demographics and still watch Current TV, hell I think it's on in another room right now. I'm not so sure that people incapable of understanding satire are a major force in any of Current TV's or SuperNews's demographics however and doubt this episode had any effect on how much Current TV they don't watch.
Considering how much of a joke she has made of herself, I don't think these jabs at Palin where anywhere over the line.

Is Sarah Palin a Total TWILF?

PhotosIs Sarah Palin a total TWILF? (TWILF, by the way, you pervs, stands for Tweep I'd Like to Follow).
Personally, I don't think Sarah Palin is a TWILF. What's weird is that the term even exists: there's zero barrier between wanting to follow someone on Twitter and actually following them... unless they block you for spamming or stalking. Come to think of it, I bet Sarah Palin attracts stalkers and spammers like moths to flame.
But Sarah Palin ain't my TWILF! I just want her to go away. Go. Away. Leave me alone. I don't want to read your nonsense book. I don't want to see you on TV. I most certainly don't want you clogging up my Twitter feed! If I could spray for Sarah Palin media coverage, I would.

What an idiotic article title. It blatantly tries to make it sound as if Al Gore himself said these things. It'd be comparable to attributing a Family Guy quote directly to Rupert Murdoch himself.

I guess they overlooked the other Supernews cartoons that made fun of Joe Biden, Bill Maher and Clintons.

1. Bill Maher isn't gay.
2. 95% of Americans would make fun of 9/11 "truthers". Seems kind of stupid to single out Bill Maher on this.

"There is a video showing Mahr out drinking with his boy toy, and they were hugging on each other, Bill did not deny his actions.
I've seen plenty of straight people do incredibly gay things while drunk (some even while not drunk).
"Mahr is a mason fraud who lies during his shows just for the ratings and such."
Oh boy, I hope you're not inciting Freemasonry. LOL.
"If Mahr was really an honest man and cared about people, he would not shut down 9-11 truthers, he would help them."
Yes, because anyone who disagrees with you must be dishonest and uncaring. OMG I'm a bad man!!! :'(
"As far as your comment back on 9-11 truthers, you need to know, your number is off, the majority knows there was something not right about that day, and the 9-11 commission was setup with the same people who were involved, 9-11 was an inside job. If 9-11 was really of some people who were not hear in the first place, do you really think Bush would have told us to go shopping? That just shows he was helping to cover up, Also, there is no way 2-110 storied buildings are going to free fall with little bits of fire, and the cores were never damaged, they were still intact."
Thank you for your insight. I'll catalog it next to the "proof" of Obama's FEMA camps.

FREE SPEECH. Palin can lie and distort reality so readily and not be questioned about it (or ignore the questions). So she should be ready for some insults, it comes with the spotlights she so desires.

Another reason why Steven Weber was right:

Go read the comment section of the article to hear some crying.
Seems like they can throw rocks but can take it when a pebble hits them in the face. These people have no sense of humor and apparently do not have the mental capacity for satire. - 2 years ago

Please note the headline "Al Gores Current TV..." is not Al Gore. Unless you assume he screens the thousands of things that are posted on Current TV daily, which I'm certain he doesn't, then the title is irrelevant and misleading.
Second, how do you expect liberal and progressives to respond to the hateful lies and misinformation that are vomited out daily by the likes of Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, OReilly, the entire evangelical Christian right (who are continually trawling for people to assassinate Barack Obama) and yes, Sarah Palin?
Lets get real here, ok? There is going to be some blow-back that is bound to be ugly. If you want liberals to play nice then take a very hard look at the asswipes that claim to represent the GOP and ask them to start acting like intelligent adults instead of moronic imbeciles. - 2 years ago

Astonishingly offensive? Gun-Ho? What is the scale for offensive with these people? What if the service she used was named Twatter instead? How would that rate on their scale? Amazing that a publication which defend torture find the term Gun-Ho astonishingly offensive.
