Former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's appearance before the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville Saturday night gave plenty of red meat to the attendees, such as calling President Obama "a charismatic guy with a Teleprompter."

Yeah, much better to read your whole speech from a teleprompter for an address to 12 year olds.

Well, the dims are ashamed of totus so they attack Sarah for her ability to use just a few reminders she wrote on her hand.

In The Godfather, Marlon Brando had his lines written down on index cards and then taped in hidden places around him on the set. He won an Oscar.

I have yet to understand the issue here. Most speakers use notes...what's wrong with writing them on your hand?

Am I missing something or is this complaint just petty to the point of strangeness?

Let us turn the Alinsky rule on the MSM:

"...Keith Olbermann, leader of the Main Stream Media"

"The Main Stream Media, led by Keith Olbermann, today led their headlines with ..."

The MSM has been trying to declare a Tea Party "leader" so they can Personalize It [assign a "leader" or "leaders"] and Polarize It [Strongly identify it with specific "leaders" with their MSM power, then proceed to attack and undermine the "leaders", thereby undermining the Tea Party movement.]

We should "personalize" the MSM by assigning a MSM "leader" and applying Alinsky's rule.

"...Keith Olbermann, leader of the Main Stream Media, today stated..."

The thousand-plus Tea Party attendees who paid $300 to hear her speak (Palin was paid $100,000 for her appearance) probably did not glimpse Palin’s own handy Teleprompter — crib notes written on her left hand.

Wow! Politicians other than Obama use a teleprompter!

Now, do they use them when talking to Elementary School students like Obama does? Or when answering reporters questions? And do they screw up so often when they have to speak without a teleprompter? NO? Oh, ok then!

This whole thing really p*sses me off.

Here is what Sarah should do next speech. Set up teleprompters. When she walks out she should cover up the teleprompters with a cloth and tell the audience she is going to rely on her hand.

Andrea Mitchell is a stupid old wh*re for liberalism.

Yep, and 0bama read other peoples words off a piece of glass and he won the presidency. The left is upset that Palin puts notes on paper, and jots a few key words on her palm, but delivers most of her speech from memory, something The Once can’t do, matter of fact, he can barely read a teleprompter sometimes.

The sad thing is that we were so ignorant of their tactics before the internet really took off. They successfully did this to Newt Gingrich and he, a hyper-partisan professor of the right, was clueless and stepped right into the initial “adulation” of feature stories in Time and that sort of hing.

But google ‘Obama “Corpse”’ and you’ll find ZERO reports the from mainstream media.

Obama isn’t a charismatic man with a crib sheet?

I thought the notes on the hand were harmless, the only ones offended were the Liberals. Her speedy comeback with "Hi Mom!" was a classic.

No, you're not missing anything. This is just continuing PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome). "Petty to the point of strangeness" describes it exactly.
