It wouldnt surprise me to see the MSM embrace her like it did McLame because they think she will be easy to beat in 2012
“I would also urge conservatives who hate or fear Obama to read his autobiography to better understand the man behind the political leader and thus heal their own biases.”
That’s the difference between Liberals and Conservatives. Most Conservatives have read Obama’s books, I know I have. And he came off as being against everything our country stands for in his books as well. This is why we do not like him.
Dad said, after reading the book the second time (and working on the third) that any one who reads the book will like her.....Make sure we all donate copies to the local high school libraries.
I wonder if it isn’t the real, honest to goodness discovery that the woman is not a cartoon - that she does in fact believe what she believes. I think it comes as a shock to a lefty that she isn’t a complete ideologue (the author seemed truly shocked that Sarah would choose child rearing over senate run, for instance) as are most leftists.
Not saying this is true, but it is possible that when confronted with someone like this they really don’t know what to do. Let’s face it, even they know by now that there are simply no skeletons in the closet and they aren’t going to run her off. I think they are wondering what to do next and maybe, as convoluted as it may sound, they are just plain bumfuzzled.
Of course at the end of the piece, he couldn’t help himself and is dismissive of the poor old simple minded right wing inability to think clearly, but this is a lefty. Not sure I read this as a rave as much as an admission that they need to do some serious recon...because Sarah ain’t going away and she isn’t going to run.
there is a problem in seeing conservative and progressive as two ways to ostensibly reach the same goal- progressives don’t have the same goal, and they are not willing to work within the Founders’ framework to achieve whatever goals they have. That said, we know of course that their goal is the destruction of the Founders’ framework: the Constitution. The writer may be well intentioned but he apparently has no clue what his side is really after.
Amazing what happens when you actually read the book instead of wolfing down the media and blog hate spew.
Interesting that he says to read Sarah’s book to get a better understanding of her, then to read Obummer’s book to get a better understanding of him, I think he meant to say to get a better understanding of BHO, read Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”
I think Maureen Dowd liked it too.
“Try getting thousands of ordinay folks to line up in town after town after town”..........
Wait a minute, Mitt is coming out with a book in the Spring. No doubt he will get dozens of fans at his book signing, since he’s the leader in the polls......for something......lol
I went and read the comments on the HuffPo site. I would have commented, but I’ve been banned from doing so by the HuffPo moderators. It was surprising that a column fairly favorable to Palin only had 18 comments. I’ve seen a few positive pieces on HuffPo and they usually attract hundreds of unhinged loons attacking, not only Palin, but the author of the column. This may be an indication that Palin hatred is on the wane, or are all the usual loons still in bed.
