She's red, they're blue; U.S. politics fetid brew [Book - Sarah Palin: An American Nightmare]

[Governor] Sarah Palin, who ran for U.S. vice-president on the McCain ticket in 2008, was not the sole cause of in any way responsible for the Republican party's bitter loss.

Every time I read the “red/blue” stuff, I have to pause to think about which is which. The left gave out the color designations, laughingly dodging the “red” for the home team. We’re the “red” ones, right?

[norraad]

I just wish we could stop the verbal pot shots and sling fists, I know who’d be red then!

Meanwhile in the Real World, people with useful skills and productive jobs actually like her.

Canadian Press? This mean less than if it came from the Cannuck government so who cares what they think?

[Common Sense 101]

Yet another example of the liberal scum “setting the agenda”... with a constant bombardment from the MSM (and gutless, pansy acceptance from the GOP), the socialists were able to avoid their true color assignment-— RED!

Americans don't elect many intellectuals; they prefer the unsophisticated.

The self described intellectuals are pompous azzhats. If being an intellectual is so great they must have all the money, women, good looks, and live like Romans. We all know most are fascists. Waterboard this nitwit author.

[Bryanw92]

The Red/Blue designations were given out by the media back when it was still bad to be a communist in America so they had to keep their marxism in the closet.

Never forget the recession started AFTER the Democrats took over the Congress in 2006.

The best known authors in the collective are ... and Sky Jones (yes, Sky Jones the artist).

You say that as if Sky Jones the artist is someone I would recognise.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Who cares what Europeans and Canadians think? Go back to your 2-room flat that you’re paying $2800/month to rent under your stupid non-productive cut-rate socialist economy and STFU.

SARAH PALIN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

[mountainlion]

I don't read the Whinningpeg and it looks like I have not missed anything. She doesn't have any support but she has a runaway best seller book? I would support her before anyone else in Washington, District of Crooks.

[silverleaf]

yep, we’re “red” because it would be too too painfully appropriate if they were ....

[yongin]

Now that Palin’s book tour is over, my local Borders put Sarah’s book next to the Going Rouge hit piece book on the shelves.

[Oldpuppymax]

Lambert sounds like a typical university leftist whose only life accomplishment is tenure.

[Lazamataz]

I was going to slam the author, but he ends up slamming Palin critics.

Lambert did a fair job with this.

[FrdmLvr]

Sarah Palin was solely responsible for the resurgence of McCain in the polls. McCain nearly won but McCain blew it in the last few weeks all by himself. I hate that they rewrite the McCain/Palin campaign story.

[rae4palin]

So where are the Palin-haters this morning?

[gigster]

I think Ann Coulter summed it up perfectly when she said that Canada is lucky that we don’t just roll over one night and crush their puny selves.
And P.J. O’Rourke gets it right when he refers to them as “Soviet Canuckistan”.
