Great video of a respectful person interviewing Palin supporters the other day. |
|
|
the video leaves out the part where she unhinges her jaw and devours them whole. |

New word for extreme left wing crazies: Palinoia. |

Kinda curious, Tim…. Who are the “extreme left-wing crazies” that you are referring to? |

The folks at Fort Bragg have asked Palin not to speak. “The former Republican vice presidential candidate planned to sign copies of her new memoir at a post store Monday. Army officials say Palin will not make a speech, pose for photos, or personalize notes in the books she signs. The Army worried Palin’s appearance would prompt political grandstanding against President Barack Obama. That fear initially led post commanders to keep news organizations from covering Palin’s appearance, though the restrictions were later dropped.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/23/palin-fort-bragg-book-sig_n_367441.html |

So are the Army brass the “extreme left-wing crazies” that you are referring to, Tim? |
|

tat, |

The interview of Palin supporters that tatuje posted really does speak volumes about where her supporters are actually coming from, which is clearly a place of xenophobia and ignorance. |

This SNL mash-up parody of Sarah Palin and 2012 is pretty funny: |

I didn’t vote for Palin and prob wouldn’t. However, the intense bashing by the media and the left is only stirring up more votes for her. Don’t let your emotions get in your way. You might not like the consequences. Also, thinking the Tea Parties are filled with astro-turf crazies is a mistake too. Just because the left wrote the astro-turf bible doesn’t mean that everyone else behaves that way. The truth will come out in the 2010 and 2012 elections. Congressional balance is going to change. |

JWT—altho i see your point about how some of the more irrational hatred of Palin is about the best things she has going for her, i think everyone on the ‘left’ knows that palin running for office would probably be the best possible thing for the ‘left’ to ensure the Dem’s continued majority. also, the ‘left’ engages in actual grassroots activism. the right is the side engaged in fox-news sponsored ‘astro-turf’ activism. dont get it twitted! To compare the tea party to anything resembling actual activism is hilariously absurd. |
