Leadership: Sarah Palin hit it out of the park in a speech this past weekend in Wisconsin. She dazzled because, of all things, she reached out to her opponents. When was the last time we saw that coming out of the White House?
Amazingly, Palin's words offered common ground between Tea Party taxpayers and public employee union members, who've until now been at odds with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's attempt to balance the state budget.
"What I have to say today I say it to our good patriotic brothers and sisters who are in unions ... a pension is a promise that must be kept. Now, your Governor Scott Walker understands this. He understands that states must be solvent in order to keep their promise. And that's what he's trying to do. He's not trying to hurt union members. Hey, folks, he's trying to save your jobs and your pensions!"
In short, she came to save, not to cut, and in the finest example of bipartisan bridge-building since President Reagan made allies of blue-collar workers, she reached out to the very people whose hirelings tried to drown her speech out with obscenities.

She had to yell like crazy to overcome the boos, the drums, whistles, sirens, chants....
It was rough.

That’s why she needs to make sure that they have a first class sound system as a prerequisite for all public appearances. Lee atwater knew about the effectiveness of this.
It was a first class sound system. There were thousand of ugly protestors who planned to drown out the speakers. Under any normal circumstances it would have been different.
I wasn’t there, so you would know better. Still, I can’t imagine a well powered system having any difficulty making whistles, horns and a thousand union goons disappear into the background. Think rock concert sound...that’s what Lee insisted on.
LOL, that's cute!
Does a mouse reach out to a rattlesnake?
You don't "reach out" to selfish, America-hating scumbags - - you bitch-slap them unconscious and then you stomp their skulls in.
No tripping over words when the Union Thugs were screaming their hateful little hearts out trying to silence Governor Palin’s Free Speech Rights.
Didn't hear one UH-UH-UH during her Speech...
Her speech was really amazing considering the thousands of protestors against her.
Dare I say, mittens, huck, newt, tpaw, daniels, would not have done that.
Go Sarah.

Go to about the 17:00 minute mark. Man on oh man - she freaking nailed it.
The dangerous, feral ones, sure. The others, on the other hand, you capture and use for your own ends.
