"A new analysis by Public Policy Polling (D) finds that Sarah Palin is especially popular with a key Republican demographic: The Birthers.
Among those respondents in PPP's latest national poll who either said that President Obama was not born in the United States or were undecided, Palin had a 66% favorability rating."
Eric Kleefeld/TPM
The Republican Party bears a strong resemblance to the bar scene at Star Wars. Attend any GOP gathering and you will find a motley crew: Birthers, tea baggers, Palin sycophants, town hall meeting trolls, gun nuts, born-again clowns, and pro-life zealots.
When pundits and political experts use a phrase like "Birther wing of the GOP" without a hint of irony, you know that the Republican Party is in deep trouble.
It's no surprise that birthers would find affinity with the looney former governor of Alaska who believes that she is a foreign policy expert because she can see Russia from her back porch.
The inmates have seized control of the Republican Party, and it's totally plausible that the chief nut, Sarah Palin, could win the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination.
As a liberal this possibility makes me happy, because Obama would win in a landslide. But as an American who loves this country, this nightmare scenario makes me very sad.
I'd rather maintain permanent residence at the infamous Star Wars bar than have Sarah Palin as my president.

This guy is obsessed with Governor Sarah Palin and Michael Jackson: http://www.americanchronicle.com/authors/view/421
Five dollars to the first person who can offer proof that they’ve teabagged a liberal (who would’ve begged for it, anyway)....
I thought homosexuals were one of their favored groups? Then why would they use a slang term for a homosexual act to slander conservatives? Of course, I’m expecting logic from far-left peacecreep hippies ... what was I thinking?
PPP is a liberal rag polling place. What’s hilarious is that Sarah Palin has NEVER even said that she does not believe that Obama is a natural born citizen, no one has ever asked her. What this BS poll is trying to do is saying that birthers are nuts and Sarah attracts whackos
Hey, I love Sarah, and I have also not seen any proof that Der Fuhrer was born on American soil.
If that bothers the libs, too freakin’ bad.
When they have to call her President Palin, their heads are going to explode. It will be a thing of beauty.
God Bless America!!!
How likely is that? She's just an Alaskan housewife who got so bored after quitting her job that she started posting on Facebook.
I will probably get called a racist by one of the obama-trolls for saying this, but I’m disappointed by this article - proof of another obama failure.
I was assured that obama would transcend race and put the old frictions behind us, but everyone who disagrees with him is called “racist”.
I was assured that obama would bring us together in a post-partisan era, but he seems to be going out of his way to attack everyone who fails to march lockstep down his road paved with “good intentions”.
I was assured that obama would have the most open administration in history, but he won’t let us know what’s coming in the “health care” bill that he wants signed before anyone reads it.
It’s almost like the media colluded with obama to trick us into voting for socialism. Almost.
The real idiot here is not the “birthers.” It’s the guy who doesn’t care if a non-American is fraudulently serving as the President of the United States. Reyes is an idiot.
Kind of like Obama is especially popular among a key Democrat demographic: Freakin’ Idiots!
the u.s. constitution
counts first for us.
Birthers? WE prefer “Defenders of the US Constitution” thank you very much.
The “neo-con” label doesn’t work as intended anymore, nor does the “religious right” moniker. So now we’re all “birthers”.
Another thread by the Third Party loons using a Liberal publication to divide Palin supporters and drive others away.
Anyone who believes the heading of this thread, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell.
The left continues continues acting like a three-year old throwing a tantrum, jumping up and down, screaching and shouting, and calling people names.
Nice.
Sounds pretty much like a cross section of 1776 colonists to me.
We know what they accomplished.
They’re exactly the types that make America great.

I'm not a Republican but even if this description was of the right in general I would not be offended.
Weak, Mr. Reyes. Weak.
You are contumely challenged. Learn two pejorative words and try again in the morning.
I adore Sarah Palin am I’m not a Birther. Not because I don’t believe it’s possible or even probable. I just think there’s no way the truth will ever surface in this political climate.
Unlike a democrat gathering like the Atlanta Black Gay Pride Parade:
I still advocate an approach where conservatives plant articles in liberal media that are even more puerile and even more egregious than anything liberals can come up with. We out-stupid them to the point of absurdity under pseudonyms and flood the media with such twisted nonsense that even an 11 year old would be embarassed.
Sir, you set the bar too high. We're only human.
I don't see any reasoable choice other than "undecided".
If I were to decide for sure he was born in America, then how could I explain his reluctance to show us the rest of his birth records? He might have a good reason. Or the reason might be that they undermine the credibility of his short form COLB.
I think reasonable people must remain in doubt until more evidence comes to light.
I say shift the focus on whether he was born in America or not, to simply getting to the records so that thinking people can know one way or another.
Until, then, why should one go out on a limb either insisting that he was or that he was not born in this country?
Where did that line about “seeing Russia from my front porch” come from. Wasn’t that spoken by a comedian impersonating Sarah? Tina Fey?
I can understand Sarah saying such a thing. Hyperbole is often used effectively to illustrate a point, but I’m not at all certain that she did say it.
There are a few fratboys at Carolina who could claim that five bucks. Reggie Love. Photos for the strong of stomach are just a web search away.
“As a liberal this possibility makes me happy”
Now they have to insist they want Palin to run, to disguise the fact that Palin is the number one threat to liberalism.
Palin Derangement Syndrome must be caused by the belief that Tina Fey is actually Sarah Palin.
It’s the only sensible explanation for the failure to understand who and what Palin is (assuming they’re not lying).
If they took a poll of Democrats who believed that Bush knew about 9/11 before hand I wonder what Obama’s approval rating would be?
Mr. Reyes, I’m very much a non-birther, but if you think the Republicans are the party most resembling the Mos Eisley Cantina, you’re just not paying attention.
Zealots, trolls, nuts, clowns, motely crew?
I wonder how this reporter voted? ( No, bias here, of course!) /s
Of course those who care about the Constitution also favor someone who thinks in terms of principles.
“We out-stupid them to the point of absurdity”
“Sir, you set the bar too high. We’re only human.”
Not so fast. It could be fun, though time consuming.
What if we just began to insist that the greedy oil companies were actually behind the health insurance company profits?
What if we start a company called “Applied Eugenics” or “ThanaTech” or “Euthanetics” and thank Al Gore and George Soros for their generous support?
Now there's a tall order if I ever heard one!
STE=Q
Yeah but...who better than FReepers to stand up to a challenge?
“Zealots, trolls, nuts, clowns, motely crew?”
Kinda like Alcohol Tobacco Firearms Explosives
Hell of a party!
very funny :-)
