I noticed another poster, not to be mentioned by name,
that is anti-Palin, and just happens also to be one of the vehement evo-atheists on the crevo threads.

I see a pattern.

Bull crap! Rinos cower and take it. The dems have the press to turn on anyone who takes them on with their own medicine. A conservative has no one to turn to for help. Especially the RINO republican party.

Thomas Frank, you are an idiot who can't see the forest because all the trees are in the way.
Governor Palin resigned so she could free herself of bothersome ankle-biters like you in order to conduct meaningful work.
Many conservatives became energized only after she entered the scene because none of us cared about a warmed-over liberal RINO like Senator McCain.

The WSJ, online venue or not, has done itself a great disservice by publishing this nitwit.

Not so. It's part of being "fair and balanced." It's a signed column with the nitwit author taking full responsibility for his irresponsible opinions. There's even an email address at the bottom to contact him directly. I respect that. At least he's man enough to face his opponents, unlike most in the liberal media.

I disagree with every word he wrote and will let him know personally in a polite way. He's a professional conservative-basher (just read his little bio squib) and he's doing what he does. The WSJ is doing us a service by publishing what he and liberals like him are thinking so we can counter them. Forewarned is forearmed.

When I saw this article on opionionjournal.com earlier today, I was wondering when steve-b would post it.

The corrupt MSM (and RINOs) just do not get it.

Sarah Palin is not playing a victim -- although she most certainly in fact is. The point of Sarah Palin is that an otherwise innocent American is being deliberately and maliciously pilloried for absolutely no reason other than for holding the conviction of her beliefs. If her ideas were being debated and she wa losing the debate and therefore claiming victimhood that would be one thing, however, the state-run MSM is laboring to utterly and personally decimate her and her family for simply holding her beliefs and having the audacity to publicly express them! That is the real issue.

You have to be amazingly stupid or retarded to not recognize the obvious bias persecution against Sarah Palin.

Since this is a stealth Mitt Romney thread, I thought this was relevant.

Well, that'll prove to Thomas Frank just how wrong he is to accuse Palin's fans of being thin-skinned.

Do you honestly think that Mr. Frank can be convinced he is wrong? If Palin's supporters respond negatively to his article, Frank will say they are thin-skinned. If not, he will say they tacitly acknowledge that he is right about Pailn, that they are stupid, etc.

Nothing that Palin herself could say or do that would convince Frank to write anything good about her. Well, perhaps he would relent if she were to come out as a pro-abortion, anti-gun, tax-and-spend, Marxist-Leninist, lesbian feminazi.

I would say that is unlikely.

Thomas Frank - most predictable, boring opinionista and probably the most ignored regular column on the WSJ. I guess one has to occasionally glance at his headlines to understand the inanity being put out by the left.
