Jonathan Martin stirred up a hornets nest with his regular hit piece on Sarah Palin. But an answer from the heart came from Bobby, US ARMY ret in the comments section at The Right Scoop:
"She is divisive because the conservative movement is full of cowards who bend over because they are afraid of the left and the media. Why not fight against the smears? Why not fight for the truth? Instead conservatives run and hide and then wonder why even after 8 years of BUSH the country moved to the left!!!!!!!
While Governor, her state was one of 2 out of 50 that created net jobs. I COULD WRITE FOR HOURS ABOUT HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS, but it would not do a damn thing for people like Krauthammer and other fraud cowardly so called conservatives. How come the other intellectual governors that Krauthammer praises could not eke out some job gains? Odd huh?
WAKE UP!!!! Do you want to know why the jobs are gone? Do you want to to know why your nation is turning into a S*** hole? IT IS BECAUSE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. We let it happen. WE CONSERVATIVES LET IT HAPPEN BECAUSE WE SAT ON OUR F****** ASSES AND REFUSED TO FIGHT the left for the last 20+ years.
Now Sarah is ready to fight, and most of us just let her go out there with no backup, no nothing. She is used as a human shield for LESSER MEN. She is fighting multibillion dollar left wing media companies and two hack political parties every F****** day of her life, and we cannot even muster a defense with the exception of a few websites and the OCCASIONAL defense on talk radio. PATHETIC.
I served in Korea and Vietnam in combat. When I say combat, I mean COMBAT. After that, I worked for the government unofficially (use your imagination.) I killed with my bare hands for this country and it makes me sick that even most of my fellow conservatives will not lift a finger to help her. If I was younger and still serving I would be honored to have her as my commander in chief. You can keep the phony tough guy men that get trotted out as candidates. I saw REAL leadership up close and I know what it looks like. Sarah Palin has IT.
I saw men blown to pieces and other men who still ran forward with the entrails of their best friends still on them. My oh my, how far we have fallen. Those boys had integrity and valor. Todays conservative movement by and large is not fit to shine their F****** shoes.
The state of our conservative movement today sickens me. It is full of frauds and cowards. We cower in fear because the media is too mean and unfair to Sarah Palin, so we should just throw her over the f****** side because ITS TOO HARD to fight back. AWWWW, poor babies. It would be so much easier to just nominate another fraud republican who can sell us down the river for a few pieces of silver as the country continues to move left as we descend into European Socialism.
As far as coward Charles Krauthammer goes .The day I take advice on conservatism from a guy who worked for Mondale and Carter is the day I put a loaded .357 in my mouth and pull the f****** trigger! That clear enough or should I use more big words to be on the same intellectual stage as the media elites?
These cowards remind of the guys in battle who said we cant win, and then NEVER LIFTED A FINGER TO HELP US when the battle began. Well yeah no thanks to you! Please commence the flogging of me. Call me every name in the book. When you have been through what I have, there is nothing anyone can ever do to harm me. I pray you young people wake up because the cold hard truth is that you have more than likely already lost your nation to a secular decline that is irreversible. There is a chance for you to save it, but from the looks of it, you dont have the mental fortitude to make it happen.
Cut all the bulls*it and ask yourself this honest question. DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS NATION WILL BE SAVED AND PUT BACK ON THE COURSE OF TRUTH, JUSTICE, and OPPORTUNITY by electing the same tired old political hacks that our media betters APPROVE OF? DO YOU REALLY?
How has that worked out for you these past 20 years or so? More debt, more joblessness, more danger. WOW SIGN ME UP! SIGH. But yeah, lets not even fight for a true conservative. Its too hard.

I am not completely a political novice having been involved in politics in my business career. To paraphrase your sentiment, I learned the following maxim: "it does not matter how right you are; it matters how effective you are"... That said -this maxim speaks to amassing power and success all premised upon the perception mainly of higher ups...
Our political power comes from the people NOT the higher ups (establishment) -we saw this with the tea party.
We do not need leaders that seek to please the establishment -we need leaders that simply carry out the wishes of the people that got them there. The 'message' does not need to be created it simply has to be heard.
Palin had the right idea -open the primaries to as many as possible and the people will pick who they want!
I agree with you on all counts, except I only hope it is her time in 2012. I also think that if we don’t have a change of direction and leadership by tomorrow, we are doomed. It is very very very serious, this crisis of economy, leadership, and courage.
Received a mailing from the Republican Congressional Reelection Committee or some such containing some cockamamie “survey.” I wrote on the survey form with a Sharpie pen: The only survey that counts took place last November. Since then you twerps have done NOTHING! Don’t think you can fool or satisfy us with another whimpy survey. We recognize INACTION when we see it. You pantywaists’ days or numbered if you don’t DO WHAT YOU CAMPAIGNED ON with no whimpy excuses!
I then stuffed it into the SASE and mailed it back to them. Probably some volunteer in an office somewhere will open it and since it contained no money, throw it into the round file, and nobody who SHOULD see it WILL see it. But I tried.
Yeah, I like this guy too. And as you can tell from my tagline, I don’t much care for backstabbing RINOS shaped like hippos.
This guy gets it. Perfect!
And by the way - If Palin said “It’s time to take up arm and take our Country back.”
I would.
Bobby is right. McCain was an awful candidate and Palin was the only reason he got even close. He was dead in the water in the polls and in the money until he picked her.
Then as he was pulling ahead in the polls he “suspended” his campaign to run back to DC to “solve our problems” when the financial crap hit the fan (personally I believe it was the Dems October surprise and completely manufactured by them) while O did nothing as usual and looked above it all.
These same critics of Palin thought O was going to be a great moderate centrist and would end racial strife and bought into his god-like BS (the oceans will stop rising crap).
So, who gives a flying F what they think?
Come on Bobby, don’t hold back, tell us what you really think..LOVE YA!!!!!!!
To be fair, he was Bush-wacked for deficits and unemployment rates that look good by today's standards. Two wars? Still there, no change, no hope of winning anything in the Middle East with the detached impostor in the White House.
America remains rudderless with the 'present' voting president and the world will pay the price. But, we at least have basketball.
