Quite frankly, Erick, the problem is not among us Palin supporters, but with the lib trolls and operatives working for other potential candidates who continue to use "Moby" and astroturfing tactics as well as Alinsky's Rules against the governor, and as of lately, her supporters.
I, along with my FRiends SolidWood, euram, Al B., jla, SoCalPol, and Sarah Barracuda, among others, have been regular contributors to the Palin threads ever since McCain introduced her on August 29, 2008 as his VP pick. Since then, we have seen it all on this forum and elsewhere, which has been more than enough to justify our suspicions any time we see someone come in from left field and drop a hit post against Palin.
I help SolidWood run the Palin Ping list and have a pretty good idea as to who her supporters are on this forum and those who are not. And lately, I've seen an uptick in the number of posts from individuals who I have never even seen before on the Palin threads, purporting to support her BUT are "concerned" about some perceived failing about her.
I've also seen a big increase in the number of attacks coming from the Libertarian and Ron Paul wing of FR, as well as from some individuals who apparently have a big problem with Palin based on the fact that she's a woman. As a result, we supporters have been labeled as "cultists," "kool aid drinkers," and "Palinistas," among other epithets, which makes us even more suspicious when we see what we believe to be baseless criticisms with an obvious agenda behind them.
So, Erick, forgive me for saying so, but you need to place your concern where it belongs, specifically on lib trolls and RINO operatives, and not on us.
If the two of you want, I can post that article from Red State as a new thread and I’ll take the heat for posting it. I will ping the two of you and the ping list of course.
Let me know yea or nay and I’ll post it within the hour.
The Lib trolls, PaulBots, and the lemmings who fall
for their propaganda can’t dispute Sarah Palin’s message
because Sarha has the facts to back her comments up.
Many of the bashers have signed up on FR within the past weeks or months. Almost never include what state they live in.
It is the old discredit the messenger, Sarah Palin.
When it is not done by the liberal media, it is done on
FR by PaulBots and other propaganda tools.
They believe by repeating quit, not bright, etc. people will believe this mantra of lies and hate.
If it isn’t the outright bashing it is the posts of:
Gee, I like Sarah BUT,
The old Concern Troll, to Deliberately Lower Morale.
Sarah Palin supporters have seen every trick in the book
and this types of bashing and undermining only make us
more resolute in our support for Sarah Palin.
