While I have been more critical of Sarah Palin in recent days than I was during the 2008 presidential campaign, I still admire the accomplished reformer for her ability to drive liberals crazy without insulting them and to keep her name in the media. Yesterday, Glenn linked this from Hot Air:
Once again, the former vice presidential nominee has proven she can tilt the political world on its axis in an instant. Last week, Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann took their campaigns to Iowa, but it was the news of Palin’s bus tour that really had people talking. She made a simple announcement on her website, and she got all the attention, all the interest.
Today on Hot Air, Ed Morrissey tells us that the media have been grumbling “that Palin’s decision to keep them out of the loop on the tour’s stops have created a dangerous working environment for reporters“, with CBS reporting
Since Palin and her team won’t share where the potential candidate is headed, reporters and producers have little choice but to simply stay close to Palin’s bus. This has resulted in scenes of the Palin bus tooling down the highway followed by a caravan of 10 or 15 vehicles – including a massive CNN bus – all trying to make sure they don’t lose sight of the Palin bus.
It adds up to a dangerous situation, says CBS News Producer Ryan Corsaro.
I can just see the former Alaska governor looking back through tinted glass windows at the caravan of media struggling to keep up with her bus and laughing (a rich, deep, full laugh) at their obsession. Morrissey offers them a means to spare themselves this dangerous pursuit: “Here’s your first option: stop chasing her. If it truly presents a danger to journalists to drive behind the bus and attempt to keep up, then don’t bother doing it.” Yeah, but, Ed, as Glenn put it, “She’s living in their heads, rent-free, 24-7.” Like a jilted boyfriend, they can’t let her go.
In addition to being the official left-wing panty buncher, Sarah Palin may well also serve that role for the MSM.
UPDATE: I believe the answer to this question is “Yes”: Media wonders: Could Palin be manipulating us?.
UP-UPDATE: Jeff Goldstein finds that her failure to play by the traditional rules of political travel is. . .
. . . driving the mainstream press to distraction — giving her the media coverage she needs, on her terms, because they just can’t quit her, and because they can’t help but take offense at her audacity in ignoring them, which serves to remind them, uncomfortably, that their cultural significance is based solely on people’s willingness to believe in their power.
I still admire her for “getting it” on economics: she was the only major candidate (that I know of) to criticize QE last fall and believe me, it deserves criticism. And in the company of a few others like Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, T-Paw, she tells the truth about our fiscal crisis in general.
She has great instincts. It is amazing how many issues and questions she is basically right about. She just talks in platitudes too much!
OMG. That reminds me of the time John Hinckley sued Jodie Foster (not) because she wasn’t giving him sufficient access, or even hot chocolate and popcorn treats for those cold nights outside her bedroom.
The old media is realizing that Sarah Palin is running this tour her way and they want her to run it their way. Since the media has to lick the boots of their masters (the radical feminists), they just can’t leave Palin alone because they need to damage her. Hopefully, she can pull the strings on the entire tour and make the press look like the putzes they really are.
I like this woman more and more each day. She has the balls to take on the left. She has charisma and principles.
She is the NEW Reagan, and why are you so critical of her but not of MITT (Obama care-the Prequel?), Newt (Diarrhea of the Mouth, without any point?) Tim (Blando Boringo), etc…?
Blah, blah, blah. Palin’s not running. Palin is still terribly unpopular. Palin will never be seen as a political threat by liberals. You can continue lying to yourselves that she is some great asset that has everyone running scared, but all she’s really doing is making money off of a conservative media audience that she did nothing to help create. Sarah Palin is the next Rush Limbaugh/Bill O’Reilly/Glenn Beck and will never amount to anything more. She’s in this for the money, you twits.
Watch this video:
http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/05/31/palin_bus_tour_coverage/index.html
This woman is an idiot.
She says she doesn’t want to run her bus tour the traditional way, coordinating with the media and writing the story together – and she says this to Fox News, who writes her paychecks and gives her airtime. What is that if not coordinating with the media? Isn’t that a conflict of interest? What a joke.
I also like how she says she’s campaigning for the Constitution and isn’t in this for publicity. If that doesn’t set off your bullshit detector then I’ve got some real estate on the moon to sell you. If she was doing this for the Constitution, why does she need the theatrics? Why would she withhold her agenda from a media that would giddily distribute it? Palin says it herself in the above video- she feels she doesn’t owe anything to the mainstream media. Well Sarah, that means you’re making it all about you.
How do people still fall for this shit?
Here’s the whole interview:
http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/on-the-record/transcript/palin-039i039m-not-conventional-status-quo-politician-last-thing-i-worry-about-mainstream
LOL! I haven’t sat down and watched a Sarah Palin interview in a while, but I do love it so. Even when she’s got the wind at her back, she’s playing on her home court and the refs are paid for, Palin still sounds like an idiot that doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She advocates terrible policies and she communicates them terribly.
Have fun getting fleeced by this yokel, conservative movement.
Ah, I should have known that a post about Gov Palin, who’s clearly more intelligent than Levi, so he should allow her to drag him kicking and screaming into his future, would incite responces from our Resident Racist.
of course all the things he accuses Gov. Palin of, he gives President Obama a pass on.
“Even when she’s got the wind at her back, she’s playing on her home court and the refs are paid for”
At least Levi admits that America is Gov. Palin’s home court. Levi’s is North Korea.
Now Hush Levi, adults are talking.
Forgot to add…
apparently CNN and Union activists are ‘bought and paid for’ and so is The Daily Beast.
So in Levi’s world, I guess Granma is ‘fair and balanced’.
Levi,
Sarah Palin is not on a campaign tour if for no other reason than to keep from having to abide by political contributions rules. She is doing the old book tour without a book. Capiche?
Here is precisely what she is doing. She is taking her daughter on a summer road trip in a bus to see what has made America great by visiting its iconic historic places. She has dolled up the bus in the same way thousands of others doll up their RV’s. She is loaded with money and she can pay her expenses.
The Paparazzi are chasing her and stepping on each other trying to get her to “announce” or catch her in a gaff. She is not accommodating them which ticks them off. That is the way Paparazzi are. She has granted interviews to people at Fox in large part because she in contractually obligated to speak to them.
She may be seriously thinking about running, but she has made it clear that she will not declare at this time.
You are peeved because she sucked up all the attention over Memorial Day from the MSM. They are dogging her and coming up with nothing. They are also running away from Weinergate with the same determination.
Sarah Palin is talking about fundamentally restoring America and that sticks in your craw because it is a backhand slap at The Won. You hate the attention your team is heaping on Palin as she continually grabs the spotlight away from the foreign traveler, golfer and TelePrompTer President who only talks to students in managed settings.
Palin may not be running, but she is the 800 pound gorilla who, to paraphrase Rush Limbaugh, is living rent free in your head.
Meanwhile, why don’t you gin up your bigoted thoughts about Herman Cain and tell us about why he is not authentically black?
She’s doing it for her own aggrandizement and to make cash, that’s why she does anything these days.
Who cares? The media does a terrible job and Sarah Palin is a sideshow. They’re made for each other.
She won’t run. She would get crushed, and that jeopardizes her cash cow. She’s better off not putting herself on the line and avoiding any kind of responsibility or accountability. Her audience doesn’t care that she’s just a pretender, but if she were to start losing and losing by a lot, they might.
I don’t care who or what the media chooses to giddily obsess over, is that something that matters to you? If your contention is that the media is such a joke, then why should you gloat over them spending so much time on Sarah Palin? You clearly are far more interested in what the media is talking about than I am.
She’s talking about it, but she has no ideas of her own and absolutely no ability to explain the positions she takes. She doesn’t stick in my craw. As far as public policy is concerned, she is a complete moron that is afraid of putting herself in positions of responsibility. Did you watch her interview? The deck is stacked 100% in her favor and she still sounds like a middle school student. Invoking Obama’s ‘managed settings’ in defense of Sarah Palin is ironic, to say the least.
That’s idiotic. There’s nothing threatening about her whatsoever and in many respects, she’s actually detrimental to conservative politics. Talking about her doesn’t mean I’m obsessed. Maybe Barack Obama is the 800 pound gorilla living rent-free in your head? Maybe Anthony Wiener’s penis is the 800 pound gorilla living rent-free in your head? HARDY-HAR-HAR! I can say stupid, meaningless things just as well as Rush Limbaugh and Heliotrope!
That’s a strange little comment. Have I ever talking about Herman Cain or black people not being authentically black enough for my taste? Why don’t you gin up your thoughts about why it’s okay for a grown man to believe in Santa Jesus? At least that’s a discussion we’ve had before.
Just had to check and see if the insanely jealous Verizon employee could resist commenting on a Sarah Palin post. Indeed, he could not.
V the K,
Yup. I wonder if he hates all women, or just those smarter than him?
Racist, sexist, ignorant, convinced of his own superiority… yup, that makes Levi a typical socialist.
Personally I find it funny that the media’s saying “Because she’s not telling us where she’s going, she might make us do something reckless.”
It’s as silly as the “Sarah Palin’s not important, so let me rant and rave for pages and pages how much I hate her.” posts Levi makes.
It’s as silly as the “Sarah Palin’s not important, so let me rant and rave for pages and pages how much I hate her.” posts Levi makes.
I don’t recall ever ranting as much about John Edwards (as the VP on a failed ticket, he’s a close analog to Sarah Palin) as Levi rants about Sarah; all the while insisting she’s irrelevant and he doesn’t care.
Levi: Sarah Palin… Sarah Palin… Sarah Palin… Sarah Palin… Sarah Palin… Sarah Palin… Sarah Palin… Sarah Palin… Sarah Palin… Sarah Palin…
Levi:
Why are you such a hateful, unpleasant son of a bitch? Does *anyone* like you?
Get help, asshole. You’re mentally ill.
bastiat fan,
I think Levi’s problem is he honestly believes the ‘more intelligent’ have an obligation to “drag you kicking and screaming into the future.”
Because by any measurable metric, Gov Palin is a ‘smarter, better’ person than Levi, he’s terrified that she’ll drag him kicking and screaming into the future.
Imagine living your life in fear that your ‘betters’ will treat you they way you’d treat them. You’d be ‘a hateful, unpleasant son of a bitch’ too.
Keep in mind, Sarah Palin doesn’t attack her critics, she does something far far worse… She laughs at them.
Sarah Palin doesn’t attack her critics, she does something far far worse… She laughs at them.
And they hate even more for it. As another example: Here we have MSDNC Anchor Martin “Levi” Bashir ranting in outrage over Sarah Palin’s “illegal” use of the American flag. I guess the only time lefties care about the flag is when Sarah Palin is saluting it.
Works like a charm, doesn’t it? It even sucked you out of your wormhole.
But its your media and our sideshow. So, score one for Palin and zero for Levi’s MSM.
If she won’t run, why do you care what she does? If she crashes and burns, why do show up spouting off? Shouldn’t you be cheering her on?
I love to see your MSM geniuses chasing their tails and a kerosene enema, self inflicted. And I also enjoy seeing you try to pretend that Sarah Palin hasn’t pasted a “kick me” sign on your back.
“Abba dabba dabba, ugga bugga yoyo.” Glad to hear she doesn’t stick in your craw. So, why do you always show up screaming: “moron, moron, look out for the moron?”
Wow! I hadn’t thought that an incumbent president with lots of stimulus money to spend on votes was the equivalent of Sarah Palin, but I will consider it. There! I considered it. So, is Anthony’s 800 pound Weiner the secret weapon, Levi? I can not parse your sentence linguistically or logically so I will take it as an attempt to confuse the drooling class.
Glad to hear that you think Herman Cain is too hopeless to be worthy of your considered opinion. You pass over him to rant about Sarah Palin, who you declare a moron and hopeless loser. Where does that leave poor Herman? Is he beneath your contempt? Now, that would be world class bigotry.
Yes, it does work like a charm. And the most important part of her success is the conservative base that loves her for no reason.
My media? How do you figure? I think the national media is a joke and don’t watch. I don’t even have cable. If you watch any amount of MSNBC, CNN, or Fox News in a day, you’ve watched more than I have in a month.
I make it a point to say that I would love to see her run and secure the nomination every time she comes up.
Why do I care what she does? Could it be because she’s an icon to the political faction that I detest who exemplifies everything that’s wrong with conservatism? That’s a stupid question. Why do you care what Obama does? Why do you care Barney Frank does? It’s politics, if you follow politics, you care what political people say/do. I mean what the hell?
I don’t suppose it matters that the mainstream media is dominated by Fox News and conservative talk radio. The media does what it does in the pursuit of ratings, and not out of any kind of inherent political bias. Again, referring to it as ‘my MSM’ is desperate and completely incorrect.
Because she’s a moron. Did you watch that interview I linked? She’s a terrible advocate for conservativism and she comes across like a complete asshole. In this regard, she is highly representative of the conservative movement, and her stupidity and mean-spiritedness are terrific examples of my critiques of conservatism. I want more Sarah Palin interviews. I want more Sarah Palin coverage. Like I said, even when she’s controlling all of the variables, which is a luxury few people enjoy, she’s constantly shooting herself in the foot and sounding like a 6-year old. It’s funny and vindicating at the same time.
Palin is a leader of your movement, isn’t she? I already addressed this, but arguing that someone who follows politics shouldn’t be interested in or care about one of the most prominent political figures in the country doesn’t make any sense. We wouldn’t get anywhere if anytime one of us levied a criticism against a political figure, the other would say, “Why do you care? Why do you care?” Not that we get anywhere either way, but that’s still a dumb thing to say.
This is a thread about Sarah Palin, why should I talk about Herman Cain. If I’m talking about Sarah Palin in a Sarah Palin thread, that means I’ve passed over Herman Cain? You’re ridiculous.
I’ll note quickly that you’re not taking up a defense of Palin’s interview performance. You’re just kind of accusing me of having personality flaws. Of course, when you hear Palin talk about policy and her role, it’s impossible to justify why she’s a figurehead in conservatism, so you really have no choice but to try and make it about personalities, do you?
1. I have no beef with “Palin’s interview performance.”
2. Palin is plenty smart enough to put a ring in the media’s nose, to get you all exercised and to be President of the United States.
3. She has strong and clear conservative principles.
4. She is a lightening rod.
5. I am enjoying watching the field form and the game play out.
6. If Palin is the nominee, I will support her enthusiastically.
7. In your world, that makes me a moron.
Heliotrope,
I’d consider a moron someone who thinks that a ‘race’ of people can’t comprehend democracy, thinks that men in black robes make laws and decide if laws are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and hides like a coward when confronted with facts and refuses to admit them.
But hey, that’s just my opinion…
The_Livewire,
The interview as performance art is a mind boggling concept. If Palin is interview “challenged” I guess she will just have to script it out on the good old TelePrompTer or something.
Levi does stick to his guns, though. He decrees that
How can anyone “justify why she’s a figurehead in conservatism” when it has been ruled impossible to do so?
Check-mate! If I attempt the impossible, I am clearly a moron. So, I simply state that Sarah is good enough for me and clearly establish the fact that I am a certified moron in Levi’s world.
You are correct in pointing out the world from which Levi identifies and labels opposition morons. I don’t think that any GPS can guide you through that world.
I consider Levi’s commentary on an interview Sarah Palin does to be roughly on the same order of reality as the KKK’s on BET.
When you start from a position of mindless bigotry in which nothing the other person does can be right, invariably, as Heliotrope pointed out, there is no justification.
Levi is a mindless bigot when it comes to Sarah Palin. He is merely projecting that fact onto others, assuming that the fact that the mere mention of her name drives him into an insane rage has a similar, but opposite, effect on conservatives.
Fixed it for you 😉
That’s because you gloss over her contradictions and forgive her incoherence. She’s on your team and that’s all that matters to you. Your religious indoctrination helps with this.
Getting the media to carp about you all day is no major accomplishment, especially if a good chunk of it involves talking about how incompetent you are. Snooki gets media coverage, does that mean she is smart?
Again, enough with this point about how she winds me up. You sound like a 4-year old.
She abandoned a position of responsibility and accountability to fleece morons with book tours and speaking engagements. She had a prominent political position that she quit because she’d rather be a millionaire – this is laudable? As for her being clear…. that’s ridiculous.
….
Meh. Republicans are assholes, Democrats are cowards, they’re all corrupt and they’re all stupid. Whatever the electoral outcome, we’ll still be charging in the wrong direction.
That’s easy to say now. Conservatives have developed a nice little alternate history where Palin was the victim of a berating, crazed Katie Couric and where she quit her job for the noblest of reasons because she wanted to spread her love of America. In the 2.5 years since she’s lost her election, she has hidden in fear behind Fox News and Facebook, and that’s simply not going to be possible during a general campaign. Do you think she’s been studying issues all this time, or devising more and more ways to make a buck of her devoted fanbase? She would completely derail at the first adversarial question asked of her by someone that wasn’t on the same payroll. How soon you forget her terrible performances that sent independents and conservatives to vote for Obama in huge numbers.
And again, Levi proves me right by showing he’s a liar.
That or he thinks ‘Fox’ is spelled C-N-N.
Now hush Levi, adults are talking.
And here we see the Obama Party playbook, folks.
Levi is attacking Sarah Palin for imaginary crimes she supposedly committed in 2008 because Levi is incapable of acknowledging how totally and completely his Obama has failed from 2009 to the present.
Levi has no plan. He has no accomplishments. He has nothing but Obama’s lies, broken promises, stupidity, incompetence, and economic failure. He is staring at endless clips, links, and news stories over the past four years that not only make it clear that Obama is a con man and a total incompetent, but that Levi and his ilk were the gullible fools who were fleeced by Obama’s silver tongue playing on their own racism.
That is why he is attacking Sarah Palin so viciously. Levi, being born and raised in a morals-free, values-free, and antireligious household, has exactly zero concept of personal responsibility and accountability. He has been taught that he is never wrong, and that if he is, it is someone else’s fault. Sarah Palin is the cause of all of Levi’s problems, and as such, she has to be destroyed.
This necessity causes him to display almost comically hypocritical behavior. My personal favorite here is how Levi screams about Palin’s “stupidity and mean-spiritedness” while he and his fellow liberals and Obama Party members call for Palin and her family to be raped, imprisoned, tortured, and murdered.
I am unaware of “her contradictions.” Please illuminate. I do not find her to be incoherent. I understand every word I have heard her utter. Have you some examples I may review?
I am unaware of the paparazzi reporting on Palin’s incompetence. Please give some examples.
[In #20 you report: How do you figure? I think the national media is a joke and don’t watch. I don’t even have cable. If you watch any amount of MSNBC, CNN, or Fox News in a day, you’ve watched more than I have in a month.] Please tell me how you know what the media is reporting about Palin’s incompetence since you do not watch or listen to the media. Curious.
I may very well sound like a four year old. Why, Levi, do you always pop up screaming about Palin being a moron? Please explain why any reference to her pulls your trigger. Thank you. Why, Levi, why? Why? Why? Why?
I thought she turned the job over to the Lt. Governor, who, I believe has carried out the task with great competence. That is not abandonment; that is resigning according to the Constitutional protocols.
Your reference to morons attending her speeches and buying her book makes me wonder if deep down you fear that Palin’s morons will outnumber Obambi’s morons at the polls in 2012. Is that at the root of your Palin derangement syndrome?
False cause and effect in my book. She resigned. She has become a millionaire. Please explain how becoming a millionaire induced her to resign. Your word is “because” and that means you have the cause and effect worked out. Let’s see the logic.
Are the 25% (give or take a few) of the electorate who are not Democrats or Republicans above being asses, cowards, corrupt and stupid? How are they able to determine “the right direction” and how are they to cause the shift with such a small portion of the voting power? Do tell.
Funny, the way the numbers read that I have seen is that Palin’s addition to the ticket closed the gap between McCain and Obama. According to your rant, Palin kept McCain from winning or nearly winning. Stop the presses, Levi has new stats to explain the political universe of November 2008.
Now, then, Levi I will explain. Palin determined to resign for reasons she explained at the time and spelled out in her book. You are not required to believe her, Obama or Weiner. I accept her words and they make good sense to me. Furthermore, Alaska seems to be well governed without Sarah at the helm, so I do not believe she left a mess for others to straighten out. The law suits against her as governor did stop immediately and the Governor’s office was able to return to normalcy. If you want to argue whether she was driven from office, I might agree, in part.
I hope she makes as much money on speeches and books as Obambi has. Read his tax returns. He has made millions off the book Ayres wrote for him. Ayres has every right to be angry about not getting the proper ghost fees.
CBS took hours of interviews and put together a nice hit job on Palin. That is Palin’s fault. She was naive. I rather doubt it will happen again. At least she didn’t stick her chin out and take a resounding hit from a liberal Joe the Flamer while she was wandering unTelePrompTered through a neighborhood.
Don’t let that PDS develop into a rash where you have to walk around picking your boxers out of your rear.
Palin’s popularity represents everything that’s wrong with the conservative movement. You’re not reflective, you’re not self-analytic, and you make excuses for people who identify themselves as being on your team. There is absolutely nothing about Sarah Palin that qualifies her to be the President of the United States, and the iconic role that’s been given to her by the conservative movement singularly discredits everything you have to say.
One of the most interesting aspects of the American politics is the propaganda that the Republican Party trades in, and Palin is as great an example of that as I can think of. You go on in your post to talk about how Palin quit her job for noble reasons (she clearly didn’t) and how the media did a hit job on her (they clearly didn’t.) You believe these things because you wish they were true, not because they make sense. Palin quit her job to become a millionaire. Palin crumbled in the face of basic questions that she should have expected. That’s the reality, and you’re pretending it’s something else. As a Christian, blissfully chugging down propaganda comes naturally to you, I’m sure.
So that’s why I comment about Sarah Palin. I am interested in politics, and she’s a political figure. I’m interested in the conservative movement, and she’s in the conservative movement. Is that enough for you? You know, if you had any consistency, you’d be making the same accusation to the half dozen or so commentators on this website who seem to respond to each and every one of my posts. Am I ‘living in their heads rent free all day’ because they respond to my postings? Are their responses evidence that I ‘stick in their craw?’ Does every post of mine ‘pull their trigger?’ Again, this is a juvenile argument whereby you take the focus off of the issue and accuse me of having a personality defect. We’re all commenting about politics on the internet, can we not take it for granted that the reason we do so is because we have some kind of interest in it?
See, this right here is the perfect example of how a religious brain refuses to acknowledge basic common sense so it can indulge in some wishful thinking. The amount of information you have to ignore about basic human nature and the fame/money-obsessed nature of American culture to believe that Sarah Palin reluctantly quit her job for the good of the country is staggering.
Do you really need an explanation of this? Sarah Palin is clearly ambitious, and she was plugging away in relative obscurity in Alaska. All of a sudden, she was tapped to be the Vice President, and everyone was talking about her, people were paying to have her travel around the country, she was being greeted by screaming crowds, the media was begging her to go on TV, she was meeting famous people and prominent politicians, they were buying her expensive clothes, etc. etc. She became a celebrity overnight. Most people fantasize about that, particularly most American people. After they lost the election, Palin was looking at heading back to a 9-5 job, signing paperwork and attending meetings and cutting ribbons at grocery stores. Back to obscurity.
So she had a choice. Go back to work as the governor of Alaska, or change professions and continue the rock-star lifestyle that she had enjoyed for 3-4 months in 2008. She chose the one that made her rich. This should be plain as day to anyone with two neurons to rub together. It’s completely understandable. 99% of the population of this country probably does the exact same thing in that scenario. Everybody wants to be famous and everybody wants to be rich.
I want to be very clear that what Palin did is completely understandable. I don’t criticize her for wanting to be wealthy. It does make her a hypocrite because she abandoned a role where she had far more power to implement the policies she espouses. She pulled herself off of the playing field to become a fan shouting in the stands.
But really, for her and her fans to pretend like she did something honorable and noble by quitting the governorship is absolutely ridiculous. That’s simply not believable. She had an opportunity to become rich and famous and she took it. Your intuition skills are seriously lacking if you don’t think so. I mean, if you believe Sarah at face value when she says something that is so utterly contradictory to common sense, why don’t you give that same benefit of the doubt to Barack Obama? You guys are always trying to divine his motives and read between the lines, why don’t you apply that same level of scrutiny to Palin’s claims?
Levi,
1. Do not put words in my mouth and then attack me for the words you put there. I never even hinted that Palin’s resignation was noble or served some high purpose. So get off that theme.
2. Sarah Palin is a natural born citizen of the United States who is more than 35 years old and has lived in the United States for at least 14 years. Where do you get the power to declare: There is absolutely nothing about Sarah Palin that qualifies her to be the President of the United States? I understand that you have reached that conclusion. Why am I obligated to reach the same conclusion? Have you any facts to present?
3.…the iconic role that’s been given to her by the conservative movement singularly discredits everything you have to say. I have no clue what this means. I wonder if anyone does, including you.
I will make one more attempt to penetrate your mind. Sarah Palin resigned as governor. Fact. Sarah Palin has become fairly wealthy. Fact. You believe she resigned in order to become wealthy. You say that is pure come sense logic. You are certain of her motivations. You reject her reasons and you assail me because I do not agree with your version of common sense.
You are constantly making definite statements as a premise and then insisting they be accepted to support your shaky conclusions. Well, sorry, but logic does not work that way. Here are some of your definite statements from your comment which lead to silly conclusions:
Clearly you feel at a disadvantage. It should be sufficient for you to pop up with “Palin is a moron” and move on to something you have not shouted from the roof tops before.
Do you think you have the power to persuade or to get us to consider our opinions? If so, why not take the common sense route. Why no put your vitriolic castigations on the back burner and come forward with critical thinking and fact based comments that stimulate the reasoning powers?
Because he doesn’t have any, Heliotrope.
Levi’s argument is based solely on antireligious bigotry and visceral hatred of Sarah Palin.
Levi supports raping, imprisoning, torturing, and murdering Sarah Palin and her family. He and his Obama Party are completely unhinged regarding her — no surprise, since their delusional ideology requires completely ignoring human behaviors and rationalizing why individuals like John Edwards do what they do “for the good of the country”.
When one considers that Levi supports and endorses John Edwards, Levi’s response to Palin becomes obvious. John Edwards is a typical liberal politician, whose behavior Levi considers normal. Hence, Levi projects such things onto Palin; since Levi’s heroes in the liberal movement are all cheats and liars driven by avarice, Palin must be as well. Levi cannot comprehend that such behavior is abnormal, and thus he projects it onto everyone else.
