Speaking of facts….I’d just like some please. Rather than opinions like what the frick, I’d like to hear actual facts in this story as to how many fact checkers were put on other political figures books, especially other women.

Dodd, Palin is a litmus test of sorts. The majority of Americans can see what she is. Those of you who take her seriously speak volumes about yourself.

#55-Phydeau-Those kinds of people will always be with us…

You are right, political manipulators and opportunist will always be with us. This should not be a problem if you are able to assess facts and think for yourself… or people can be lazy like Mr Fussion and just follow the party line.

#54-Mr Fussion-Now go cry me a river.

I see that your New World Order programming is complete.

No tears for you, only disgust.

#57 I went into hysterics on the Shitsu in glasses thing. Nope, she’s not hot. Then I clicked the link and went into hysterics again. You made my day.

#44 & #45 Unelectable? If she’s locked in a battle with her nemesis Levi Johnston, then maybe she’s not ready to be President. Just sayin’.

#55, Phydeau,

The part who likes a politician because she’s “hot”. (We wouldn’t even be having this conversation if she was ugly.)

Am I the only one that thinks she looks like a Shitsu in glasses? Hot she is Not.

I think we would be having this discussion because she is an ugly person.

#52 She’s doing a good job herself, Dodd, every time she opens her mouth.

And example #4558 of projection… Faux News is a Republican spin machine so of course wingnuts think all the other networks are Democratic spin machines… typical.

Sarah Palin reminds me of a joke about the Texas Legislature: If you took out all the idiots, it wouldn’t be a representative body. Sarah Palin represents a very real part of America. The mostly blue collar, mostly ignorant, mostly fearful, shallow thinking part. The easily manipulated part. The part who likes a politician because she’s “hot”. (We wouldn’t even be having this conversation if she was ugly.)

Those kinds of people will always be with us, so we’ll always have the Palin/Limbaugh/Beck demagogue types.

#52, Dr. Patrick Dudd,

This time it is OK because they are attempting to destroy someone you don’t like. Next, it might be someone you like – so then what?

You mean something like accusing our sitting President of something? You remember all the accusations, like he is a Muslim, he isn’t an American, he is a commie, … . Didn’t you catch that Glenn Beck / Rush Limbaugh / Bill O’Reilly / Chris Wallace / Hannity / Ann Coulter / … piece?

How can I not attack the pretenders that hide behind the media label? What good is a “free” press if they are nothing more than a political propaganda machine.

So what you are saying is it is OK for the right wing nuts to lie about everything but they can’t be called on it. Palin is being called on ~~her fucking bullshit lies~~ facts and somehow that is an attack?

Here, check this out. Now go cry me a river.

#27, the media did use all of those. The only one I don’t remember hearing is Ronald Wilson Reagan.

#46-Mr Fussion-the right wing nuts are blaming the media…

Even with your limited grasp of reality you should know that a “free” press should not be a hit machine for either side.

This time it is OK because they are attempting to destroy someone you don’t like. Next, it might be someone you like – so then what?

#50, Dallas,

Good analogy. The problem is just when you think you have passed the traffic accident, there it is again, right in front of you. And again.

The nightmare that won’t end.

Palin is a like a horrible traffic accident. You don’t want to look at it but you do.

See? She DOES get the liberal panties all in a knot, doesn’t she??
anyone who has the gall to try to pass off blatant lies as truth and then get indignant when people don’t fall in line should get people irate.

#47…but maybe it’ll get infected and gangrenous and then lacerated.

The power on the right turned away from her a long time ago. Rush keeps pushing her because it riles up the minions. But the players in the GOP realize she’s not a viable candidate for any office. This book will simple reinforce what we already know…she’s an empty shell.

Today on CNN she’s on the bottom of the list in a poll of who’s qualified to be president. She’s not going to get elected without a big chunk of those votes.
