If this was the case, you would certainly be right. However, what he is up to is plain and simple Trolling. If this was a stranger, someone folks around here didn't really like over the years he would have been zotted long ago. I personally have liked him much before this phase, but, he has just plain gone crazy with PDS and there is no other way to look at it. I keep wishing he would dial it down about 50% and add some facts and meaningful observations, or something, but instead, its just repeating the MSM liberal "lets trash Sarah" quote of the day, delivered with snark. Barrf...
He almost doesn't spend any time advancing Bachmann who shares almost 100% of the same positions as Sarah Palin (By the way) but is 0% electable in this cycle, though who knows about the future. Instead, every day he is trashing Sarah Palin with the most vile stuff he can dredge up. He fixates on little things and turns it into a whole barrage of innuendo, all smoke, all crap when it comes down to it. Ultimately folks around here know Sarah Palin probably better than any other candidate in the country. She has some flaws, and some positions which are just not right like her thinking on Title IX, but all in all, she is head and shoulders better than any candidate out there and the only one who has any history of cleaning up corruption which is the most important need of all.
Instead, we are treated to the 50th article on Palin may not completely hate all homosexual people. Well, we know this. For example. He got upset about Palin's retweet of Tammy Bruce's frustration over who was making statements on DADT, and spun that into Palin supporting repeal of DADT, which Palin has not done. Then, given that folks pointed this out to him, now every article insinuating that Sarah Palin doesn't shoot homosexuals on sight gets posted by pissant as "proof." Palin has some really strong supporters who are "gay" and have defended her when everyone else ran for the hills, and we know she is a person who values loyalty. She still is a supreme defender of the institution of marriage, and lives a commitment to the right to life where most politicians just spout what they think people want to hear.
Though she is a conservative, she is not by any stretch of the imagination a paleo, which is what pissant wants. She is in the realm of conservative-libertarians that reflects a set of values you find in many Tea Partiers. Her great difference being that she is staunchly a Republican and never threatens to quit just because she isn't getting her way. She is not Ronald Reagan, but she is Sarah Palin and thats plenty good enough.
Half of the threads involving pissant now are folks complaining about the post, not discussing the topic or the facts. It wastes time and the reason why Trolls are generally banned in the first place. Worse, folks post on threads where pissant hasn't excreted and call him to make a fool of himself there just for the entertainment value. This is bad for decorum, and teaches new folks bad lessons on how we treat each other around here.
I have on numerous occasions argued that he is doing something valuable, but over the last two weeks, it just has gotten old. I am sick of it. If an article should have had a barf indicator but it doesn't and instead has someone gleefully supporting the new craptastic lie that is too good to check, it unfortunately was posted by pissant 98% of the time. He has become a Troll and he needs to reconsider or be treated like one.
“He almost doesn’t spend any time advancing Bachmann who shares almost 100% of the same positions as Sarah Palin (By the way)”
That’s the type of BS I hear from Palinistas constantly.
First, lets looksee who posts the dozens of Bachmann posts here. Can you guess? Or maybe becasue so many cultists spend there time on Palin threads they don’t see or aren’t interested in much else.

Scroll through that before you spout off.
2nd, Bachmann does not have 100% agreement with Palin. Plain is McCain when it comes to amnesty, Bachmann is Steve King. Palin is Newt when it comes to global warming, Bachmann calls the whole thing a socialist hoax. Palin was pimping LOST as governor, Bachmann is the anti-globalist. Palin pushed TARP, Bachmann vociferously opposed it. Palin is a Title IX queen, Bachmann calls herself congressMAN. Palin want federal funding for special needs kids, Bachmann wants to cut welfare.
I’ve been watching pissant on his seemingly one man mission to tear down Sarah where the msm has failed.
And I’m going to give him credit. The msm doesn’t know what we don’t like. Pissant does. And he’s doing a good job of finding those tiny tidbits, flecks, of Palin news that are likely to upset conservatives, and pretty much telling the story straight.
He’s not just repeating MSM talking points, he’s doing a good job finding Palin’s weaknesses. You want to keep pissant, because Palin supporters really should learn how to deal with people who disagree with something Palin might or might not have done or said.
You should look at things like “what is pissant posting” “why did he think this would hurt Palin” “how might Palin cut down on the number of things that pissant has identified as potentially problematic with conservatives.”
There are any number of things that you can do with pissants postings that are useful.
