There seems to be a tactic used by many here and elsewhere to mock Sarah Palin as some kind of messiah figure because she has a lot of fans. This is not only wrong, this is disgusting.
Sarah Palin has never presented herself as an Obama type figure that wants to be seen as a savior. She has been polite and decent on the national stage. She has treated people around this country very good in her time on the national stage.
Yet, some people talk about her as an object or a piece of trash. We have someone around here who calls Sarah Palin "precious" and another person who calls her "Minnie Pearl".
I want some of those out there who mock her on a daily basis to stop and think... Sarah Palin is real human being. And how would Sarah Palin treat you ?
Here is a woman who never had to serve in government, she did by choice. She doesn't have to fight for our country on the national stage, she is doing so by choice. I don't think anyone can question how much Sarah Palin loves America. She loves our troops. She is one of us. She is right on the money with most of her positions on the issues. She sued the federal government so that we could have a right to drill in ANWR for goodness sake. How big of a help would that be to this country if we could use our own energy resources ?
So please, somebody tell. What did Sarah Palin do to be mocked ? What did Sarah Palin do to be mocked as a sock puppet on this site ? What did she do to deserve the hate ?
Again, Sarah Palin is a real person who is a patriot who loves and her country.
where does all of the other stuff come from ?
It isn’t a grudge. That post of yours made me LOL! You love nothing more than the fight.
You said you are a poster that I don’t know. Ha! I think even you would remember someone who called you a racist for no reason...just as people who don’t agree with this admin are called the same name.
You weren’t participating on a thread on which I read your posts, and felt the need to comment and ping you to said posts?
Okie dokie!
Sorry for following forum protocols in pinging you on a thread in which my reply was directed at one other, and you...and you are both on this thread.
Oh, wait!
No I’m not. lol
Exhibit A
That's easy. What she did was to be someone who does not conform to the accepted vision of what female right-wing small-town conservatives "should" be like. People do not hate her so much as hate what they assume she is. Utterly dehumanising of course. You'd think the "progressives" would be more awake to this kind of thing - they complain about it being applied to them enough. But then people do like their boxes.
I am with you all the way. I call them the "Palin Protectorate". You can see it on this thread. They mock those that "worship" Obama all the while...
I like Palin but I am not ready to throw myself at her feet.
You don’t post nearly enough of these vanities.
Exactly. She's a politician, and it's just as legitimate to question her positions and actions as it is to question those of ANY politician.
Her Superfans claim it's hate to treat her with high standards. It's the complete opposite of how a conservative-minded person should be treating a politician. Questioning their positions is the height of patriotism; screaming "Hater!" and "Troll!" because someone dares not worship is no different than the worship of Obama--no different at all except in the focus of nonthinking, unquestioning worship, and I simply won't bow down to anyone (no matter how people want to relabel it).
And once again--PALIN isn't the one demanding this.
In a straw poll of attendees at the Netroots Nation conference in Las Vegas over the weekend, 48 percent of respondents said they'd like to see Palin as the Republican Party's 2012 nominee. Rep. Ron Paul came in a distant second, at 11 percent. Ten percent voted for Rick Santorum, 9 percent for Mitt Romney and 8 percent for Newt Gingrich. Seven percent chose Tim Pawlenty, while 5 percent said Mike Huckabee, and 1 percent said Rep. Mike Pence.

In other words: What Would Sarah Do?

Until she quit....by choice.
And, I'm sure you know, no elected official has to serve, they all do by choice, including obama, rangle, kerry, reid, pelosi...so what exactly is your point? Should we give all of them a free pass on everything too?
His posts are beginning to have that 'train wreck attraction' about them.
I was going to suggest basket weaving or maybe bug collecting and some Xanax.
He probably isn’t open to advice.;^)

The original poster wants to give palin a bye because she entered politics "by choice". I simply pointed out the glaringly obvious fact that so did obama, pelosi, reid, et al...but you knew that (one would hope).
Gotcha!
LOL!!!!
Post of the day winner. ROFL
The last vanity hit 300.......I think the novelty is wearing off ;-)
