Why these Hoosier's hating on Sarah like that? They got a look at her bus!

Isn't the dark side of Sarah Palin's media blitz Sarah Palin and the media themselves? I've found the coverage, especially in the conservative and corporate media, very depressing, and Sarah Palin herself has used the book and tour to spread lies, ignorance, stupidity, and hate. That's pretty dark.

You get what you get when you buy a book from and go see a silly pathetic female !

Eat my bus exhaust, worshipful fools!

You gave be the money BEFORE I signed the book. Bwa-ha-ha-haaa!

It's not at all surprising. This woman proudly proclaimed being a hockey mom, but my niece, who lives in Wasilla, and happens to actually BE a hockey mom, never really saw much of Palin, in any of the hockey venues in and around Wasilla and Anchorage. She's been a hockey mom for 15 years, so Sarah, you have no excuses.

This wacko bus tour is just more of the same. A quitter is as a quitter does.

Or it is manufactured propaganda put about by Leftists. That might also be the explanation. The jargon here is a little too pat and glib to be the product of “angry fans”. .

I suspect you are a liar. You just happen to have a niece in Wassilla, a town of what about 1000 people?.

If you people have to make up lies about Palin, you have all ready lost the argument.

How about you try debating her on the issues, rather then rely on your habitual gutter slime Leftist debate tactics of lies, innuendo and personal attacks?

Actually HarperCollins, Palin's publisher, controls the logistics of this book tour, and there are several HC officials on the bus who do just that. But nice try to slam Palin. Your “site” is about as “independent” as the DNC.

While what you say may be true, the heckling does reveal the true nature of Palin.

When the going gets tough, Palin either plays out the passive-agressive victim, or she outright quits. It's been her record so far, since she was put forth as the V.P. in the 2008 election. I'm not sure about before, but from what I have been told by my niece, who HAS seen this woman up close before all this, she hasn't really changed from her so-called “hockey mom” days.

Palin doesn't need “leftist” anything to bring ridicule upon herself, she does very well all by herself.

I suspect you are an idiot.

Have you been there? I have. My niece will laugh when I tell her about this. My above statement happens to be the truth, which you sycophants habitually ignore.

Innuendo and personal attacks? Watch out, your hypocracy is showing.

Good luck convincing anyone of that, including yourself.

When HC scheduled the book signing in Noblesville, Palin would have had to sign a book every 15 seconds. That there were 150 who didn't get to see Palin OR get their books signed sounds about right.

Not a good way to keep her fans starry eyed.

You see, people, she does it to herself.

It must be all ACORN's fault.

I was one of the 175 people with a wristband left behind as she stated on Facebook in her delayed apology. I appreciate it now, but don't know how she's going to resolve it. I've already returned my “guaranteed” unsigned books to Borders after standing in line for 3.5 hours Thursday morning in the cold, wind and rain. We were then advised by Borders or Harper Collins' employees, giving out the bands, to return at our approximate group-letter-time. Doing as suggested, rendered another 2 hour wait in the cold and drizzle and at 9p the announcement came that it was over, left without an apology of any kind. One woman even ripped up her book in front of us and threw it in the trash can in direct view of a television crew's camera, but it was already turned off as the billboard bus left the parking lot. The only consulation offered were a few leftover stickers with her signature on them, but most of the remaining group left the scene the minute the announcement was made and Sarah was gone. Nothing was said from the store owner or mall manager, until the remaining wristband recipients demanded to return their books that night. I guess they thought in hindsight offering the stickers would keep their booksales. Sarah had a signing in Fort Wayne that morning, surely her publishers knew it wouldn't be physically possible to see 1,000 people in 3 hrs. and sign 2 books each, but it's completely unfair and wrong to mislead and guarantee people something and then not deliver. Plus, the supporters in Fort Wayne were able to wait INSIDE! I wasn't one ranting the chants, but I'm a very disappointed customer and supporter. Left wondering who made the decision to go back on their promise and why steps weren't taken to make it right that night? These books weren't even for me, but special Christmas gifts! Unfortunately if Sarah runs in 2012, the negative trickle affect from this will be huge for Central Indiana.

God damn you morons…Can't you just give someone a bit of a break here?!? Do you honestly think that the Governor would intentionally leave you out in the cold?

How many of you have signed hundreds of books in a sitting? In more than one sitting a day? Pack up your pitty party and go home will you… and to those liberal nut-jobs opining from mommies basement…get a life you pathetic losers.

I think she owes them an explanation.

Her apology was pretty weird. “I've been told that yesterday there were supporters in Noblesville who stood in long lines for hours in the cold and rain…”

Surely she was right there? So here she is sitting on a tour bus that can't go because she's surrounded by 300 angry people booing and yelling “sign our books.” The next day she is told that this happened to her and she totally didn't know.

It's odd how she has a following for being a straight-talker who tells it like it is, while she says things like this.

I am sure that the ex Governor meant no disrespect to the crowd..but she is now getting a true taste of the fickle loyalty from her so called support group..politics and fame on the national scale is a tough row to hoe…and all of her bluster and erroneous statements will soon come home to haunt her..but she still has the big bucks…and the support of those to witless to understand the complexities of national government…watch her goofy interview with Hannity to get an idea of her simplistic concept of “real politic”

Wait, you think she didn't *intend* to leave?

Clearly she was aware that she was leaving these people behind. She even waved at them.

Does HarperCollins control Palin herself? Nobody made her hop on that bus and ditch her own fans; and nobody made her pretend to be unaware of it later.

Palin has a reputation among her fans for being a straight-shooting maverick, a leader not a follower; but you would have us believe that this was the fault of some handlers who packed her aboard her bus like a deactivated android.

Wail’en Palin, cryin the blues
Whoa is me! Why, none of that true!
Katie so mean, Charlie be too.
Same with McCain and all his Choo-Choo

Wail'in Palin cry'in the blues.
Just like a child “it's all their fault!”
Katie did this, Charlie did that,
Boo Hoo Hoo, and that Levi is a Rat!”

The Next Tell All Is In The Works!
All those mean ol' Borders
and Harper Collins' people
will get theirs.

You Can Betcha!

“Try debating her on the issues?” How in heck does someone do that? Is far as I can tell, her handlers allowed her to debate someone exactly once.

I note that Palin complained about McCain staffers keeping her muzzled and away from the press. Yet now that the election is over she remains barely accessible; merely going on Oprah was regarded as a huge step into the lion's den.

While this episode is probably just a bad response to a scheduling snafu, it unfortunately reinforces this negative image of her.

The situation from someone who was actually there.

Palin does it to herself…..again.

It's not a pity-party I'm handing out invitations too. I wanted to state the FACTS from those responses below that thought this video and statements were “manufactured propaganda put out by Leftists”.

Name-calling, really??? Palin supporter and you take God's name in vain? Really??

Do I think it was intentional? I don't know what it was except bad business. Someone dropped the ball and it had Sarah Palin's name on it. I do know the former Governor intentionally stayed an hour longer at her book signing in Fort Wayne to sign ALL 1,000 copies there, so in answer to your question, I suppose that would be, “yes”, by cause and effect.

Have I sat writing for hours? Yes I have. She even had 3 hours of downtime on her drive from Fort Wayne to Noblesville, there's her break. She and her publicists planned it and they wrote the contracts with the store owners, not me. Are you telling me Harper Collins doesn't know how long it takes to sign 2 books per 1,000 people? They should!!

It wasn't necessarily about the cold, it just made it more miserable and a less tolerable wait given the end result. My main point was the disaPOINTment on Border's “guarantee”, or whoever's guarantee, we'd get to meet her, shake her hand and have her personally sign our book.

I'm not even blaming Sarah, but I tell you what, someone knew they ended the night on group M of 25 when there were 7 more groups to be seen ending with the letter T that had “guaranteed” wristbands! That's who I have a problem with. If Sarah didn't know, why didn't anyone say anything? Look at the media now, it's just made her look bad when it possibly wasn't even her doing.

Miscommunication, bad business, whatever you want to call it, but don't call me a moron for being understandably upset at the outcome of our wasted time. Time for most people is more valuable than money. My friend did lose money because she took off from work for the opportunity and then it was taken from her.

One thing I do know is Borders lost a lot of business last night and I personally will never buy another book from them and neither will the rest of the group I heard having the same sentiments.

Good night!

Wasilla is actually a small incorporated community surrounded by a vast area of unincorporated Matanuska-Susitna Borough, much of which is subdivided for residential and light industrial or business use. Much of the business core is along the Parks Highway from its intersection with the Glenn; at the intersection, one can choose to head north on the Parks towards Denali park and Fairbanks or east towards Valdez and Tok. Outside the core of incorporated Wasilla are numerous communities whose residents often work in Anchorage but live in the MatSu (aka Mad Zoo). There are 82,515 residents presently in the borough.
So there is your gutter slime conservative inability to know what you are talking about. Perhaps you are equally or more uninformed as to the nature of Palin's record and her character due to some bias, Mr. Knight?

As opposed to a capable and dynamic female like Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, Rosie O'donnell, Hilary Rodham Clinton, etc. etc.

It reminds me of the 1920s when Indiana was basically run by the Ku Klux Klan, until followers of the high thread count racist group were disgusted by the sexual and other peccadilloes of its leadership. Look up “Madge Oberholzer” on teh Google if you want a history lesson about race relations, political orientation, and the realities of what kinds of people manipulate the prejudices of others for their own nefarious ends.

I am sure there were many who cheered her as well-you cant have a best selling book without great support-so honestly what is your point?

I'm with Hedley (see below) — ACORN must be behind this!

@dianagalla: Those cheering her are not germane to the issue of Palin turning her back on her fans and in effect insulting and abandoning them. Palin's a pathological screw-up.

Dis Heartened,

While I do not share your vision of Sarah Palin, I do respect your statement of facts surrounding this “incident”.

Dispassionate, FACTual, and straight to the point. However, I must point out that Palin MUST have known about the time constraints placed upon her, and yet she accepted the deal. Do you think she was more concerned about her percentage than signing books?

I realize the bookstore shares much of the culpability here, and they also must have known of the time constraint, but they were just a venue. It is STILL my belief that Palin was more concerned about money than people.

Thanks Swami!

Thank you Hedley, I do too! Someone does, her publicist, PR rep, or Borders owner. I'll try to get an explanation from the Border's manager when my online order is shipped to the store and I go back to return those as well. Last local news reel I saw said her people pulled the plug to end the signing in Noblesville promptly at 9 p.m. She stated on Facebook she was overwhelmed by the response of the tour, but it's still unclear if she was aware of the details of the contract with Borders and what was promised to their customers!? Her apology is vague to the details of what actually happened or what she knew.

Live from Noblesville, IN

You need to lay down and relax. Palin is just like Bush and would be a puppet if she ever was elected president. Palin and Bush are both intellegently lazy. She is not presidential material Her fans are not living in a reality based world. They think this is the 1950s and early 1960. They will never win. They can not get passed the demographics of our country.

Being there was your first mistake.

I was thinking of others. A relative moved back to the midwest from Alaska and loves Sarah. He was laid off recently and I when I found out she'd be a 10 minute drive across town for the book-signing, it was worth the chance to get a cool Christmas gift for him to cheer him up. I didn't realize it would take so long for 1,000 people to flash a receipt and get a wristband. For that, being selfless is never a mistake.

We the people in this forum are driving the sales of this book through the ceiling through controversy. I would be willing to bet that this video or others like it are generating millions of views and tens of thousands of comments like the ones we are making on either side of the points of view. In google speak this adds up to megabucks for all of the handlers. Unfortunately in this age of creating personalities in the digital domain, money, can buy the people. If the same people who for example have us hooked on coke (the soft drink), got on board the Palin ship for the sole purpose of making money and creating political power….. they could create a path to the presidency wouldnt you think?

Good point about “writing for hours.” I missed that part of the parent post.

Signing 1000 books is work, but it isn't even half a day's work, and certainly not some superhuman task that the rest of us cannot match. Those of us who went to school in the days before word processors have certainly endured worse punishments to our wrists, and without any money in return.

I'd certainly consider it a cushy job to sign 1000 books several times a day if it got me the money she's making.

That being said, I don't think she just got lazy and decided to quit. More likely it was a scheduling snafu and her handlers made the undiplomatic decision to take her away.

You are, as far as I can tell, right on the mark, except for two things. first, her book is already being seen as pack of lies-maybe not to her supporters just yet, they'll take a bit more time to absorb the fact that they've been bamboozled.

Second, this woman hired a ghost writer to pen her book, so technically, it's not even her “speaking”. Yes, she could be trained in the ways of D.C. easily enough, but her greed and selfishness are so bald-faced, it would be hard to hide that fact from the nation, were she to run. There are just too many problems facing this country for the forseeable future, that the passive-aggressive victim thing just doesn't cut it. I don't think the country is ready for a cute colloquiallism and a wink to explain her position on the things that affect us all.

Palin is not presidential material.

Boy, it's always somebody else's fault with you right-wingers, huh?

I sure hope that broad is the GOP candidate in 2012. No matter what else happens between now and then, President Obama will be a shoe-in.

It's shoo-in. You moron.

Nope, no lies…..but her success is just KILLING YOU LIBERALS.

LOL

Oh, good grief. This was clearly a leftist plant, because conservatives aren't WHINERS. They plant one of their leftist goons, who claims to be a Sarah Palin fan, while behaving like the leftist entitlement junkie they truly are! Is this the best the Left can do?? LOL

I love all you arseholes! Thanks for your brilliance.

Actually, no. She has had no “success”. It has become widely known that her “book” was ghost-written. And, it is a pack of lies. It will only succeed in making her look…well…goofy.

LMAO. If Obama continues on the course he has set so far, Mickey Mouse could beat him in 2012.

Maybe, but the broad never will. That's why I hope she's the candidate.

MOST politicians and celebrities have ghost writers. Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, Hillary and Bill Clinton all had them.

The “book” still makes her look goofy. Which she is.

Pure wishful thinking on your part – didn't you know that magical thinkaing does not work? The joke is on you!

It may have been a scheduling snafu due to the fact that she stayed late in Fort Wayne, even though the local news is claiming she arrived to Noblesville early. She may have arrived 20 minutes before her scheduled 6p-9p segment, but those were used for her mini speech. Why weren't we, the people of Noblesville, given the same courtesy that was extended to the Fort Wayne Meijer customers? We deserved more, since our conditions for the wait were much worse. Was it because Trig was tired and her hand was cramping as the IndyStar reported? I don't really care. Call me callous, but I'm a mom of 4 and work part-time, so I know how to juggle responsiblity, it's part of the job description. She could've had a nanny watch Trig while she fulfilled her obligation to sign 1,000 books. It wasn't her obligation to only stay til 9p. Proof of that is evident in her earlier signing of the day!

I'll tell you what, if it were my word given to do something, I would never allow my “handlers” to control the decisions I make to keep it, and honor those who fulfilled their obligation to be there to get their “golden ticket” in time. (It was actually a hotpink wristband). ha

I've heard also that it was due to the store closing. WHATEVER! Bookstores have stayed open til midnight for big book releases, i.e. Harry Potter, so that's laughable.

I now realize she did know people were left behind because she signed 3 more wristband recipients' books in front of me before getting on her bus. If the store truly would not let her finish her obligation inside, she could have taken it upon herself to have security escort the last 175 into the stairwell of her bus and sign their books. It possibly would've only taken less than an hour more, since she signed 825 from 6p-9p. Undiplomatic decision is right!

Call me fickle, but I'd want a President that keeps their word. That may be unrealistic or fantasy thinking to some, but it's how I feel. She definitely changed my opinions of her that night. It sure didn't show strength, resilience or honor.

Still shaking my head…

I am pretty sure that Obama has won his one and only term in the White House. We are so far in debt because of him that we will never get out in our lifetime.

As far as the book signing goes…she signrd for 3 1/2 hours. She has a schedule to meet. No one forced anyone to give up a day to wait at that book store. It was by their own choice. Should they hate her for that? Dissapointment perhaps, but not the immaturity shown by the crowd.

Palin quit her day job as governor of alaska to be a superstar but she doesn't even have the temperment for that. I wouldn't even elect her as dogcatcher. Nothing that comes out of her mouth is true.

I don't hate anyone and I wasn't one of the dozen people that were chanting, “sign our books” or booing in the crowd. That's all that were chanting, by the way, the select few under the camcorder at the rear of the bus in this video. The only “boo” came from someone's little boy, so I guess he's entitled to being immature.

She signed for 3 hrs. not 3.5. Were you there? I WAS!!!! There will always be a few immature people in a group of 200, but I'm not one of them. Look at how much immaturity is reflected here in just 53 comments and we're all over the age of 13.

Call it a choice, but it had a guarantee behind it that needs honored!

Oh my, what a shock. Duh, get w/the program people. It's only natural for a Douche bag to have a Douche bag following. What did you expect? Change, from a Douche? (vinegar to gardenia? lol) Aristotle even said, Douche bags do not come w/grace &/or manners nor do their Douche bag followers.

I have said elsewhere that it is correct that she be booed. But by people of the state that produced Dan Quayle? That has GOT to sting!

As a Hoosier in exile, I am finally proud of the people of the state I was born in. Well, some of them anyway.

Dobefan — Reagan ran up deficits that were then the highest in history. Bush took the US from a surplus record-breaking deficits, embroiled us in two failed wars in which we are going to get our asses handed to us AND spend trillions of dollars, and was asleep at the switch when the bankers and traders scammed trillions from our economy. And now you want Palin? Bush destroyed the place. She'll shit on the debris and in everyone's faces. Are you so ideologically driven that you can't see the obvious? The woman is a buffoon.

Unless you're a billionaire, you're dumb as a post.

I'm sure this will be spun by righties as merely liberal trolls trying to disrupt poor Sara's moment, but remember, this book tour requires that every
single person admitted to a signing- including those waiting outside
for an autograph in their book- presents both their copy and the
receipt to prove that they bought it at the host bookstore. Anyone booing or yelling is also someone who bought the ridiculous book and is pissed off at the princess for not having the courtesy to her fans to stick around a few minutes to sign it. Any country or pop recording artist understands the relationship to their fans, but it's probably too much work for Sara. sS she quit.

I think this says more about the type of people who support Sarah than is does about Sarah herself. Not pretty.

No, we'd actually be pleased as punch to see her win the nomination. You betcha. Hillary's pet poodle could beat the pants of that silly bitch Palin.

I think we've digressed to epithets and insults as expression. Palin is just another example of ideological puritanism that does no good for the Republican party. A “party” is a group of like-minded people sharing ideas into a cohesive whole to further an agenda that would be beneficial not only to the party, but the American people, as a whole. This extremism shown by the GOP of late does the party and the country no good. Palin is another representative of this extremism, and not a good one, at that.
Lindsey Graham is one of the party's staunchest defenders, yet even he's not ideologically pure enough?
The silliness of this woman's words and actions bespeaks someone with NO qualifications for public office. Her stint as Governor of Alaska was evidence enough. She couldn't stand the heat, that she herself caused, what with the allegations of impropriety leveled against her. All this BEFORE she was picked as the McCain running mate.
Her actions haven't changed since then. With this book tour, it's obvious that money is the first concern.

She attacks the media for allowing her to make herself look silly? She could have been gracious and accepted David Letterman's first apology, but this woman's twisted sense of right and wrong kept going, making her look petulant and vindictive. You parade your kids in front of TV cameras, expect something to be said. She's done it not once, but three times, and of that, shamelessly on one occasion. Katie Couric asked a “gotcha” question? “Do you read?” would have been seen as a trick question, but “what do you read?” seems like a standard question to me. How is that a tough one to answer?

Many Palin supporters here wonder why liberals are so against this woman. I'll tell you why. She has never been up front with the American people. Never. She can't gather herself up long enough to make a statement that doesn't include some kind of silly or cute colloquialism. That's not explaining yourself, it shows a lack of understanding of the issues at hand.

While the book tour thing may not be totally her fault, she DID have the choice of declining the schedule of stops. Not being prepared as she was, left a lot of people disillusioned and in some cases, angry. It's what this woman does. Everywhere she goes. She is a caustic influence, and THAT is not what this country needs right now.

Palin is a liar, a moron, a psychotic, and a threat only to the aspirations of the GOP. We are wasting our time discussing her.

I am so glad Sarah's “fans” showed up for the “cold” shoulder. Must have really been a Sarahdipity “moment.” LOLOLOL.

And your point is?? Lemonade, anyone??

But…but….but Mickey's a Democrat AND a Patriot!!! That alone places in the 96th percentile over Republicans, lololol. Democrats win again!!!

Many who cheered her are not the ones laughing at her; I would bet the ratio is 2-3:10. That is not a majority, Honey, so your point, honestly… is being challenged! And YOUR point is???

LOLOL…you're funny! Now go get your pacifier in your playpen, and sit quietly while your Mummy gets your oatmeal and straw ready.

If this is “success” from Failin' Palin, failure sounds like a terrific substitute to me.

Hee hee hee… sounds like another boycott in the making like Disney-addicted Baptists. Sorry, you're vastly outnumbered and I notice Barnes and Noble didn't even offer to have signing events. Too bad! B & N would love your business… they're Democrat Progressives!

Independent AND reliable, like the DNC, thank you!

Debate Wailin’ Palin on the issues?? Like Katie Couric and Mr. Gibson did? OOOOOOOOOOOkay…and how many times are they going to slip and fall on Palin’s upper pouty lip when she tells them, like Queen Prejean did to Larry King, that they’re being “inappropriate?” Blond is as burnette does, in this case, and visa versa.

That actually was my first mistake because I am a member of B & N. They already have my business and Borders never will again by the way this was handled. To me it doesn't matter who it was. To you, this is all a political stand. I really don't care about politics. I'm unbiased and vote for my views and nothing more. I could care less to read her book. It was a gift and that's it. Nothing more to say.

This is fantastic. . . She's “going rogue” on Going Rogue ! The maverick sidekick has taken “Going Rogue” to a whole new level. . .I love it !!! ROTFL

Carl56…we are not talking about entire political parties now are we? That sounds like profiling to me. I have voted both Rep and Dem in elections. I vote for the candidate not the party. I guess if a turtle was running on the Democratic ticket, you would vote for him. Pretty narrow minded for a Liberal.

MSNBC followed Palin around this week at her book signings. The reporting was on a lot of the time. Friday night, Countdown talked about her stiffing her loyal supporters. And now, it isn' even in the news.Why isn't this being covered. It disgusts me.

Hey Monkey99. I was banned on this site for a while. I'm a bad man.

“She is a caustic influence, and THAT is not what this country needs right now.”
I totally agree with you.

dobefan – I voted for more rep than dem. I hope you are wrong and President Obama earns two terms. I agree with most of what he is doing. If he did everything I think he should, I would realize President Obama is only as smart as I am and that would scare me. I'll give our President some room and participate in our representative democracy. I'll let my reps know how I feel. As for exGov Palin, I hate quitters. When the going gets tough the tough get going. People are defined by how they meet the tough challenges in their life not run from them.

I have to agree that a few people in the crowd booing isn't a story. No one pleases everyone 100 percent of the time. I don't care for exGov Palin but the booing isn't a story, period.

JimPa,

Yah, I was too. I guess we both bad, huh? That's why I went back to what you see above. It occurred to me that epithets and insults of the type we engaged in don't really help.

I only needed to look at this woman's record to see how ill-equipped this woman is for anything resembling public office. Didn't take long.

I'd rather it wasn't covered in the news, since it has nothing to do with actual issues foreign or domestic. Our news agencies shouldn't have wasted their time hyping Palin's tour, and they shouldn't waste it criticizing it either. This is a job for the E! channel or Entertainment Weekly.

In fact, much of the dislike of Sarah Palin comes from her existence on this purely imaginary axis of hype. She is a source of homey and general statements about conservative principles in principle, but she almost never takes an intelligent stance about an actual thing happening in the world. The few times a reporter puts her on the spot to say something about the Middle East or national defense, she says something dumb enough to dismantle her political career.

Recently she was asked about new settlements in Israel; she replied that they needed new settlements because their population was growing. Whuh? Surely every other nation on Earth is growing in population, and that doesn't result cross-border settlements? This was a fourth-grade answer to the question.

On the health care front, I can see why some are so negative. This is exactly how I thought a representative democracy works. Debate in congress. Citizens engaged and writing, calling their reps. I would be upset if no one was talking about it. Wish the lobbyist would tone it down. Have you watched Jon Stewart?

And I am going to take your lead and try to show more respect to those that disagree with me. Working too much and posted some thoughts too harshly when I should of went to bed.

Supposedly she was not due at her next signing until the next morning. She also could have easily used her time on the bus (or the plane, whichever she's using) to pre-sign copies for distribution to the people who couldn't get into the bookstore. The publicity staff at the average publisher knows how to arrange these things, or change plane reservations.

Sorry.

Jim,

I”ve been watching the healthcare thing- maybe the Dems will get us some relief. Sadly, I haven't caught the Daily Show for a while. Busy on projects. What's up?

Another poster on the other Palin blog here was helpful on that front. Keeps the blood pressure in check.

xcott,

Yes, it's all true, as you say, but I believe the thing that really burns people about her is that she is representative of a group of people (I won't call them a party) who are spouting clearly anti-American sentiment and values. They want no part of the American process, they want to somehow “re-invent” the country to espouse their clearly disastrous policies for this countries' future. And that has to be called at every turn.

Sure, she's a bad example, but that “chocolate Easter bunny” approach she has resounds with a certain sector of the country, which is very insidious, as you can see by the numbers of people taken in by this approach.

NOW HERE IS AN UGLY THOUGHT.

In the movie just mentioned the politician attempts to garner votes by appealing to the lowest common denominator (that he believes) represents the minority community.

My thought????

If you wanted to APPEAL TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR in the White population.
to get votes
How would you act to appeal to them.?

Is there a particular set of behaviours you would pick?

Some commentator spoke of her appeal not being one of carefully planned moves

You seem rather nieve about the nation of Israel and cross-border settlements. As Vince Lombardi said when he began his career at Green Bay “Gentlemen, this is a football”.
During 1948, the jews were know as palestinians = the ensuing war by transjordan and other arab nations attacked the newly formed nation of Israel = the west bank and a portion of Jerusalem was captured and held until the 1967 war. The west bank is a part of Israel = the occupants have no compunction to better themselves, but blame the Israeli's with woes of their condition.
Israel in 1948 was a desert = today is a green oasis = brought about by those who believe in a democracy which allows each person to rise by hard work = those arabs who pursue hard work have benefited by their endeavors.
How are the endeavors of your life benefitting you?
