[LA Conservative]

You can click to read Taibbi's piece, however I found the Jon Meachem reply to be balanced and better written than Taibbi's piece.

Both are more popular and gained nootoriety for their charisma, persona and story more than for their policies or legislative backgrounds

I got to the above statement (6th para) and stopped reading. It is wrong wrong wrong. Conservatives are NOT into charm/persona - we are about AMERICA! Sarah's background, and her Patriotism - love of our country our Military and willing to speak out against evil forces against America, belief in dig, baby, dig - is her calling card and what conservatives admire. She's pro America all the way.

So Taibbi can take his/her/their propaganda piece and choke on it.

tabbibi is a great writer, this guy not so much.

i wish he would have left it to a better writer to do this, tabbibi just gets to think we’re rambling idiots now.

And by the way, if the spelling of the surname is right, this is NOT the Jon Meachem I thought it was-—the editor of Newsweek. I don’t think that one is nearly as smart.
