“It is as if a dam of hatred and resentment cracked and burst, spilling a reservoir of venom from a million rattlesnakes to cascade down a river of leftist and Establishment loathing…”

Pretty good description of the derangement.

For a couple of weeks now, various media mouthpieces have been repeating the BS that Sarah said she was interested in “running” in 2016.

As I recall, that is not what she said when asked a question by someone. ....Her answer to the question was that, yes, she was very interested in the 2016 election felt it was right to serve wherever possible.

I’m also very interested in the election, as are most people!

I took her answer to mean that she would help some candidates in their bids for election.

Sarah did

I agree with much of what was written.

I wish she would act like a serious person but she prefers to speak glibly,snide,or just rambling.

The only time she looked like a grown-up was her reply tone after the Arizona shooting tragedy.

You have to be respected on some level if you want to lead people. She’s frittering that away, unfortunately.

SARAH PALIN'S PING LIST!

When you compromise with Evil, you do not get a lesser version of truth, rather you get a lesser version of Evil.

"People are going to say whatever and try to claim whatever to try and take us out. They have an irrational fear of us. They want us on a leash. We're not going to be on a leash. They want us to dance. We're not going to dance with them."
--Andrew Breitbart

I watched Sarah’s entire speech, and I thought it was fine. I, however, have not gotten the impression from her that she really wants to run. Everything she does is examined with a microscope. I’m a senior citizen, and I have never in my lifetime seen any political person treated so unfairly. Sadly, many on the right are just as unfair as those on the left. If the press had examined Obama the way they have Sarah, our country would be in a much better place.

Allahidiot over at the K street run HotGas is a DC insider bag boy.

Micheke Malkin should have fired this K street barker along with the other Rhino set that post there before she sold the thing to a K street entity.

Palin has made a good name for herself on the right as an often prescient commentator and regularly delights us by annoying the biens pensents with her calculatedly folksy mannerisms. However, if she really want a shot at the Presidency, from where she is now she needs to be elected to another high office -- either run for Governor of Alaska again, win and serve a whole term, or win and serve a few terms in the House or a term in the Senate, then hit the hustings as a Presidential contender.

Conservatives will never be taken seriously until we stop eating our own. When all this character assassination started in 2008, how many of us (I admit not doing a good enough job) either allowed it to happen or joined in the hatchet job?

It SHOULD NOT be necessary to defend our candidates, but, in reality, it is necessary. By sitting by while our candidate got trashed, it only emboldened the enemy to repeat in 2010, 2012 and now 2014. And it will get worse in 2016.

Silence in 2008 led to “teabaggers” - we did nothing. It led to all kinds of trash talk against candidates in 2010. We did nothing. That led to the Romney debacle in 2012. And 2014 was another year of trashing candidates. And we keep attacking our own, encouraging the enemy to ramp it up in 2016.

Some Freepers may object to my characterization of those who are trying to destroy Conservatism as “the enemy”. They are as much an enemy as are Mohammedans. LIBs and GOPe would, if given the chance WOULD kill the men, WOULD rape our women and WOULD sell our children into slavery. Ignore at your peril.
