palindrome

Can propositional content constitute a semantic palindrome?

Candidate statement: Glenn Beck on "progressive" at CPAC, 2010.

As quoted by Jon Stewart [2010.02.22] (excuse the progressive date format):

how does GB know about the immanent, creeping, insidious "progressive" takeover/makeover/shakedown/hoedown of our nation/state/federal gov't/yer town & yer farm ?

From books he borrowed at the big city public library - and you should check for yourself - the books are free [JS: 1st USA public library, post-Puritan Boston, to share communal resources]

Palin rejoinder: "Yes, but Obama's leftist cronies will terrorize us all into registering for library cards! Public library cards!  They will even make us use our private Social Security numbers and private zip codes - exposed on those naked cards!  They will make us carry those cards - even in American designer denim jeans - even when we are driving!  Even if we are driving a very safe American twin-axled, tandem-wheeled rural security vehicle!  [she said "Ford Ranger" in an effort to under-cut Pahlenty, who is not net even yet a former-Gov'nor but we have printed what she meant, techincally.  She did not actually emit the word "naked" but we know her masculine followers will be more likely to "Keep the faith" if excited at the same time. - Editorial Committee -]"

Bill O'riledy revision:  Beck said "from Carnegie libraries or lending libraries".  He never endorsed the "public option".

Future: Palin anti-terrorist committee begins tracking the borrowers of all books rather than banning some books.  To avoid any appearance of bias, the chair of the committee is anonymous and not a politician (Todd, the obvious choice.)

Curiosity: Could this not have been proven more decisively by consulting the genealogical records in Salt Lake City?  They are open to the public and very revealing of which less-than-true Americans are descended from "true" believers and their fellow-travelers marching to their mournful, progressive jazz tune in our slow slouch to some sea-level cemetery ... "progressive" ... the "new black" is just those same old blacks at it agin.

Note: the "Black" attendees at CPAC were all doing community service by busing tables at the convention - another innovation in the privatization of penal servitude.  Hand-cleaner was not available at the podium as no-one with "aids" touched the mike [ a sign, in Spanish, on the backside of the podium's lectern  clearly warned, "this microfone reserved for white speeches ONLY"]

All registered attendees voluntarily signed a waiver that being sneezed on by a "journalist" was acknowledged as a risk of stopping to speak to a mainstream hack just as it was an acknowledged risk of there being no "Bless You!" upon your sneezing when talking to a "reporter" or "member of the press".  Always sneeze once into a pristine Kleenex before telling your fellow Americans what is REALLY happening to this free nation.

All paid-members were advised in writing that real FOX News journalists, contributors, commentators and analysts are all real people that you will immediately recognize from the television displays in limos, lavatories, elevators and massage rooms reserved for the convention and  their trained aids will be holding the cue cards with both your question and your answer.

Disclaimer: there was no quiz before registration as cue cards had been made available prior to the convention and would be available on the spot for any candid, free-form interviews with accredited professionals of the non-mainstream media.
