I have often accused Sarah Palin of having more fight than strategy in her. But I must concede that her decision to become a contributor to Fox News is a shrewd one. Touché, Barracuda.
Here’s why:
1. She’s made for television.
She’s telegenic. She’s never speechless. She has a gift for talking a lot while saying nothing. And, she has one of the best poker faces in the game ...
2. There’s no better fit than Fox.
It’s a friendly forum in which to hone her sound bites, learn to parry tough questions and answer easy ones, and to bone up on, well, pretty much everything. Sure, she’ll flub some facts, and she’ll take a drubbing for it. But beating up on her often backfires. The more she takes a punch and cheerfully recovers, the stronger she appears.

3. The timing is impeccable.
There is now a bubbling discontent on the right and, in particular, among whites, which is aimed at President Obama.
According to an analysis of New York Times and CBS News polls, Obama has the lowest approval rating among whites at the end of his first year in office than any president in the 30 years that The Times and CBS News have collected such data. And the gap between Obama and the others is significant, ranging from 10 to 36 percentage points.
Furthermore, a Quinnipiac University poll, released on Wednesday, found that most whites think that Obama’s first year as president has been mainly a failure. A plurality of whites even said that Obama has been a worse president than George W. Bush.

(For the record, according to the Nielsen Company, more than 95 percent of the viewers of the Fox News Channel are white.)

It is acceptable for the Slimes to publish this racist rant because Crackers hate the Negro-lite Wee Wee solely because he is swarthy, and any criticism of him is therefore racist.
Uh, I know plenty of minorities mad at Obama. They are taking a beating in this recession/depression.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: By the time Obama is through screwing up this country, America will be BEGGING for Palin.
And not just whites, either.
So what?
99.9% of viewers of BET are black.
What does this idiot have to say about that then?

“Who’s a Terrorist? Depends on Whom You Ask”

“Charles M. Blow’s Snow Job”
There is anger and disgust aimed at the radical, far left policies of 0bama, by most voters who are not black. If 0bozo were white, 90% of blacks would be “bubbling with discontent” against him, because as it turns out, blacks have lost their jobs far more than other races have, since 0bama took power. The only reason blacks still “strongly approve” of 0bama is because 0bama is black, pure and simple.
I don't read articles about Palin anymore, for the most part, just skim, because they're all the same. It just amazes me how the libs can't stop themselves from attacking her.

Seeing how most people in this country ARE white, I don't know why this is so peculiar.

O is half white !!! His mother was white!
My Grandkids are half black but I don’t think of them as black kids. If they all think O is the first black president they have bought the watered down version!!
Gay.
Btw, for all of you out there who are treated to the “racist” term when you criticize Obama....please cheerfully reply in the following way. It will shut the offending party up, once and for all:
“Oh I’m not racist at all. I hate his white side, too!”
;)
Yes. But then the “bruthas” and “sistas” consider him as black, and will continue to give him 98% approval even if he is caught red handed committing murder.
Remember mayor Marion Barry?
In fact, I just emailed that very thing to him.
“Don’t fret, my friend.
I’m as pissed off at his “white” side as I am at his “black” side.”
I’ll let you know if I get an answer.
LOL
Of all the knocks, this one is the most disingenuous.
It must be projection because liberals are the ones who dodge questions with pretzel rhetoric. Sarah actually answers questions when interviewed. She uses few words to say a lot, in comparison to libs, who use a lot of words to say nothing, lest their true agenda be found out. Again, projection.

Forget reason #4 Charles M. Blow of the New York times.
Fox will get millions in free advertising from Liberal publicans.
After reading this I'd say he's projecting. Why does this nobody even care? She isn't running for anything.
This is a backhanded compliment. This writer may hate Palin but he sure admires her.
She does have talent in spades and I think that her sojourne will give her added experience in the give and take of talk shows.
She needs to be able to defend and propose substantial policy positions. Liz Chaney has already showed this talent. Palin should be able to do that also.
Palin’s Facebook postings are very well done and show that she has a knack to boil an issue to a phrase like “ death panel”.
I want her to be able to showoff her knowledge on TV also. she needs to erase the ignorance image that SNL successfully pinned on her.
What racist crap. Has a white person written that from the opposite angle he’d be accused of being in the KKK.
and you have the perfect face for radio.
