Probably a good rule of thumb for supporters and opponents alike – take everything you think you know with absolute certitude about Gov. Palin and then assume that 85% of it is false.

So that leaves Palin. The face of the GOP. She must be smeared and metaphorically speaking “lynched”.

It is why the GOP needs the high ground. They need to step up on their soapbox and speak above the “screeches of the Angry Mob”. It is the only way out of the wilderness for them. Trying to shout down the “Angry Mob” will not work and it will only further give them ammunition to keep the real debate from front and center.

Obama’s Policies dictated by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and the far left of the Democratic party.

Obama is a winner.

Palin is a loser.

Zero sum games end like that.

Unfortunately, the number of liberals willing and able to do so appears to be very, very small. As a result, the liberal criticisms of Palin appear to be merely partisan and they lack credibility.

Sarah Palin will lose any national election she attempts, badly.

pandora :
Liberals don’t hate Palin because they’re afraid she’ll win national office.
It’s more than abundantly clear that she’s a joke with no chance in h*ll.
Liberals hate Palin because she’s a nasty, loudmouthed, malignant narcissist who keeps plowing through every media opening she can find. The same reason they hate Paris Hilton, OJ and Octomom. She makes it so easy.

Pandora, please stop projecting. What you just wrote is more hateful than ANYTHING Palin has ever said. Quote me something nasty, loudmouthed, malignant, or narcissistic that Palin has ever said?

I’ll quote you Tina Fey: “Palin was very polite, kind, and professional. Her daughter volunteered to babysit my kid while we were filming!”

Lorne Michaels: “She was very professional and everyone enjoyed working with her. Her politics aren’t my politics but I think people should not underestimate her.”

Alec Baldwin: “She was more professional and polite than many of the stars we get in here (on SNL).”

Paul Teutel Sr: “She’s very down to earth and easy to talk to.”

Clearly, Garland only gets his news from the driveby media. Palin offered THE TRUTH about Obama in about 5 minutes of her 30-minute stump speeches, which were the ONLY 5 minutes the drivebys EVER highlighted from her speeches, because ALL they cared about was Obama.

In the other 25 minutes she was the epitome of hope and optimism about the exceptionalism of this country and its people, that the best of America was not all gathered in DC, but was in the hardworking small business owners who really power this country. She spent more time talking about energy independence than she did about Obama, but you wouldn’t know that from the drivebys.

Anyhoo, the media are the liars in this case, when they said that people at her rallies yelled “kill him.” The FBI investigated and found no evidence of this ever occurring.

Palin gave four policy speeches, on energy, women’s rights, special needs families, and national security. The media not only didn’t cover these speeches, they PURPOSELY drummed up the clothing stories, the stylist stories, etc., on the very days of those speeches to totally dominate the news cycles so no one would pay attention to them.

I hope a distinguished, nonbiased historian writes about the final two months of the 2008 elections. They were historic all right – in a pretty hideous way for the media.

Post about Palin. Post about Bush/Cheney. Post about torture. Post anything negative about Obama and they show up out of the woodwork spewing vileness about anything GOP.

If the story is about Obama they immediately begin spewing vileness about Bush/Cheney and dereail the post onto a Bush hating diatribe.

Its become common place and I noticed it the minute that Obama became a truly viable candidate and its picked up steam.

It is why I advocate taking the high road for the GOP and letting the left expose itself for what it is………

An angry lynch mob.
