The backlash brewing for these people is something they will never see coming, and would never expect.

You see this same type of thing whenever somebody tries to build a nuclear power plant. One commie lib actually tried to get the NRC to force nuclear operators to make radiation have a smell like the gas that might run your stove.

I believe the first target for counter-attack and it’s a big, old, fat, mud ugly one, would be the self-proclaimed Celtic Diva, Linda Kellen Biegel. She’s obviously suffered a life of being stood up, put down and never taken out in broad daylight.
She’ll probably claim “glandular problems” for her weight but there’s no glandular cause for ugly. She might be able to lose weight but she ain’t able to lose ugly. The Elephant Man averts his gaze from that serious form of ugly.

The media calls lies “reported” and repeated, as well as hateful blog entries as “coverage.” Palin needs to discount all the media and blogs as illegitimate sources....calling into question their veracity (and the credentials of each writer/reporter) at every turn.

Agree! And then of course ...Barry’s personal favorite quotes of his mentor.

By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.
Adolf Hitler

Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.

Big Bump for later reading.

If she remains a private citizen then she may have some legal recourse against the attacks but if she remains in politics she will be a public figure and the attacks will continue without any legal recourse. I really hope it was not the attacks that drove her from office. If so it will be impossible for her to win elective office in my view.

Here’s the thing - Palin scored an own goal by championing the ethics bill, not realizing it could be used against her. She’s clearly an inspiring figure for many, and to the extent that she is a rallying point for the conservative base, I support her. My personal impression of some of her positions on the issues is that they are a lot like her support of the ethics bill - ill-thought out with respect to the consequences, and not very conservative. On economic issues, it’s her persona that’s conservative rather than her positions.
