Re: Sarah Palin's Gonna Resign from Her 1st Term As Governor...

MarcATL's litmus test for how to treat people

If the individual is black: praise him/her, defend him/her (regardless of how indefensible this position is), laud him/her until he turns blue in the face

If the individal is white: ridicule him/her, mock him/her (no matter how much distortion is needed), let the vitriol against him/her flow until foaming at the mouth commences

The above needs to be entered into Webster's Dictionary as a classic example of a straw man.

Someone here has come to the defense of a poster without knowing that poster's history.

It's okay to be more specific and levy your accusations. I mean, you are typing anonymously on an internet message board from the safety of your home, so it's not all that risky.

Sarah Palin's turning out to be quite the entertainer.

They are predicting she’ll fail???????????

Get the fuc outta here …noooo wayyy really?

In the arena of ridicule, Sarah Palin needs no help from the likes of me. She does a damn good job of that herself by golly gee...you betcha!

In her speech today she quoted something to the effect of: "In my family the vote was four 'yeahs' and one 'HELL YEAH!'" I mean...WTF.com!?!?!?

I say bring her on, she's a riot. It's a bit of schadenfreude to watch her in action.
You might want to check your facts--before posting. Last poll in Alaska shows her still up in the 80's--higher than Obama's.

She's a shoe in for the senate seat in 2010--but after listening to her--I think she is getting out of public life altogether.

She & her family have been attacked through every single means possible. She mention's her decision to leave public office came with a horrible remark about her young son Trig. She has paid out 500K in legal defense on numerous erroneous charges brought by the left which BTW--she won every one of them.

I have to say CONGRATULATIONS to all of you that set out to destroy a female politician--you suceeded. A special award should go to MS-NBC--David Letterman-CNN-CBS-NBC-& ABC.

What woman in her right mind would ever want to seek high public office again, after seeing what the LEFT WING media did to Sarah Palin?

Just like how you predicted that she'll be a lock for 2012, practically licking her asscrack.

Re: Sarah Palin's Gonna Resign from Her 1st Term As Governor...

OK, I just watched the unedited video on the NY Times website.
What an orator, Saturday Night Live just has to have someone repeat exactly what she said, exactly how she said it, and people will be ROFL. Incoherent babbling that seemed to go where you least expected it to go, and never seemed to make a point.

I know it's just the way she talks, and what she says that makes her look like a moron, but there is no way that she is taking that delivery on the national stage and winning anything.
Unless every credible Republican candidate gets caught having an affair, it could happen.........

Who would want to pursue more public office after that?

Hey, I don't blame her. If you can't stand the heat, get your ass out the kitchen.

If you don't have what it take to face what modern politics in America has to offer...quit.

Like I said in my initial post...she just doesn't have the chops.

NAME--me one single MALE politican that has ever gone through this same kind of B.S. & maybe you'll convince me.

Do you actually believe that if Obama--or any other MALE politican had a pregnant daughter out of wed-lock that he would have been attacked by the media in the same manner--as they did Sarah Palin?
