Editor,
At the risk of sounding sexist, how did the health care debate get hijacked by an overgrown teenage girl on Facebook? Sarah Palin quit her job as governor of Alaska to become an unpaid right-wing blogger, yet still has the power to disrupt any rational discourse. Possibly related: How did someone like Palin even rise to the spotlight in the first place? Her rise was born in the waning days of the contentious Democratic primaries between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. After the controversial Democratic National Convention Rules Committee decision to split in half the delegates from Michigan and Florida, many Clintonistas vowed that they would back McCain in the general election, calling themselves PUMAs (Party Unity My Ass).
When Obama did not select Clinton as his VP, McCain’s strategists figured they could capitalize on the discontent by placing a female on the ticket. Sarah Palin had been on the city council in her hometown of Wasilla and became mayor at age 32. In Alaska, while she was controversial in some respects — such as her attempt to fire the Wasilla town librarian, her views on abortion and the controversy of Wasilla charging victims for rape kits — she was also outside of the state’s Republican establishment or clique. She dropped a dime on the state GOP chairman when they both served on the state’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission: He was using state time and money to conduct party business. When she became governor, she championed the ethics law that would later be the basis of her resignation and imposed what she would later call socialism, or wealth redistribution, on oil companies in Alaska.
McCain felt she would serve three purposes: attract disaffected PUMAS, shore up his right flank (the base) and reinforce his image as a maverick.
However, Palin turned out to be either a sociopath or a psychopath. She was ill-informed about many issues, including the achievements of her own running mate, and put forth a campaign of lies and distortions such as Obama’s supposed ties to William Ayers, a radical anti-war activist in the Weather Underground of the late 1960s and 1970s. Her brief career was also marked by her flip-flops on the “Bridge to Nowhere” and the debt she left Wasilla through misuse of eminent domain laws regarding the land the town’s sportsplex sits on.
Now, she is dissembling again, referring to “death panels” as being a part of the president’s health care reform proposal. This claim has been disproven, yet it proved potent enough for Congress to remove the provision that sparked the false claim in the first place: Medicare would reimburse doctors who provide end-of-life counseling.
The question is, why is anyone listening to this person? She holds no office. She is not involved in public policy in any way whatsoever, and she is not even a good pundit. While there are many details that need answers about Obama’s health care reform plan, the discussion needs to be driven by intelligence, facts and people actually responsible for policy, not by some overgrown teenage girl gossiping on the Web.
The Daily Loco, eh?
Envy does not become them.
We Americans are always asking the same thing about morons like you. Why the hell are you always listening to David Axelgrease and Rahm Emanuel?
“Palin is a sociopath, shouldn’t have authority in public policy”
Now that Palin is a private citizen—she can sue the pee-whiny sauce out of this idiot for slander.
The writer is a very small person.
Because Sarah is way smarter than liberals are?
Now she is free to speak her mind... unencumbered by bogus ethic complaints...
Democrats wore t-shirts calling Sarah Palin a C**T (the sexist equivalent of the N-word) and he’s worried that he’s breaking new ground by being sexist in his attacks on her?
This is a great example of why the phrase “Angry Liberal” is redundant.
Actually, libel, since the comments in question were in print and not verbal or oral.
His membership is probably small too.
Remember that this is only your opinion, and not exactly supported by everyone. In fact, I would go so far as to say that many people have a misinformed view of Sarah Palin and her record, including you, since you so freely cast aspersions without presenting a shred of proof to back them up. You have asked “why is anyone listening to this person” (Sarah Palin). The better question would be, why should anyone listen to you?
Yes, you’re right...my bad. Worked too long today.
No wories there. it's a lot harder to cover up "Gay Left wing Moonbat" than you think.
Those sour grapes make a sweet whine....
The author sounds all “wee wee’d up.”
The question is, why is the Loco writer so upset about and so quick to dismiss Sarah Palin. Me thinks, they “doth protest too much.”

“Democrats wore t-shirts calling Sarah Palin a C**T (the sexist equivalent of the N-word) and he’s worried that he’s breaking new ground by being sexist in his attacks on her?”
According to the enlightened president at the University of Colorado (whatever her name is), that “C” word is a term of endearment. At least that was the excuse she used when they were getting hammered in an investigation and receiving negative media attention on the use of that very word.
A nothing University newspeak editor shows their greatest accomplishment is masturbation.
There they go again....lol
Since the left in this country has been proven over and over again to be suffering from mass psychological pathological projection...it stands to reason that it is their current ‘leader’, Obama, who is the real sociopath.
Take note America!
I wonder what the University of New Mexico’s stance is on “hate speech.”
This screed would surely qualify.
Heh heh heh heh heh. All Sarah has to say is “death panel” and the left is sent recoiling like a vampire from a cross.
Perhaps she can cause them to run like Lemmings into the nearest body of deep water.
Because we never listened to you, that's why. But now that you've set the record straight by speaking truth to power, we won't listen to Sarah Palin anymore.
Thank GOD you wrote this article. Otherwise, who knows how long people would have remained deluded?
LOL! Nice way to disprove your own claim.
Amazing how these moonbats STILL are in total denial of Obama's long time association with Ayers, Even after Obama admits it.
Lib heads exploding!
Real question is, why is brain dead, loony left vermin like this guy being even allowed to write in any university magazine at all?
His retarded ranting belong in a magazine for the criminally insane.
“She holds no office”
Neither does this idiot, nor has this idiot ever even come close to holding public office in his rather pathetic life, yet he feels entitled to let the world know his irrelevant, moronic opinions.
P.S. The article was written by a person named “Brandon Curtis.”
So don’t you go trying to take credit for it, Extremely Extreme Extremist ; )
I smell fear.
This moonbat’s claim about Palin charging for rape kits and firing the town’s librarian have long since proven bogus and he’s still parading them out like yesterday’s facts.
The people out there protesting have read the bill, they can cite page numbers. The leftist Congresscritters and Obama have NOT read the bill.
This needs to be reinforced.
As for his idiotic ramblings on Palin, they make no sense whatsoever. I fail to even see a point in the article unless he wants her to be banned from the internet and media for holding deviationist and unapproved views.
Palin? Antisocial?
Or how about this def: Someone whose social behavior is extremely abnormal. Sociopaths are interested only in their personal needs and desires, without concern for the effects of their behavior on others.
Funny, I found the same definition under both "sociopath" and "obama."
I wanted to stop reading right there, but somehow my amusement instinct took over and read the entire rambling rant ... hooo boy, and what a compact mess of discombobulations it is too ... /laughs
PC'ism is their drug, and hatred is their nirvana ... God help these people
Instead of “The Daily Lobo” (wolf)
it should be called “The Daily Loco” (crazy)
LOL - yep they reeeaaally are afraid of Palin - because she is far more popular in raw numbers than the Zero in the 0val 0ffice.
Looks like Sarah has a potential law suit against The UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO'. They should really put this stuff past legal before it's allowed to be printed.
What does it say for their agenda and their arguments if they can be unravelled by what they think is an “overgrown teenage girl on Facebook”?
The Daily Lobo staff consists of about 100 students , Univ. New Mexico
This is all you have to know.
Children who don’t work for a living.
Have no clue of the real world.
We really shouldn’t waste any time on this sort of drivel.
Palin got the publicity because she’s constantly inside Obama’s head and mentioned her piece on facebook, thinking he could make fun of Palin with it. The media jumped onto it gleefully.
Instead if backfired
Coming from Leftist aholes who voted or would have voted for psychopathic sexual predator Clinton if they were old enough, this is sheer fabrication and the worst sort of hypocrisy.
Exactly and I will take sane Sarah any day of the week.
Brandon, you really shouldn't use difficult words such as "discourse" without looking them up first. Discourse is precisely what happened, and your side lost. Big time. Now run along and cheat on an exam and tell us all how smart you are.
Who do these prigs think they are?
When one side blatantly lies about their true goals, rational discourse in not possible.
Dude. You got PWNED. By a girl.
Exactly. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of this abuse against her.
I don't know if the Daily Lobotomy is the best target or not but if this absolutely CRIMINAL personal and political assassination of Sarah Palin continues I'll squeeze even more out of my SSDI to help her sue the bast*rds.
GO SARAH!
