That may be true but the doesn’t mean every nutcase article about Sarah Palin needs to be posted. Why on earth would anybody post that K. Parker article or some asshat from Chitown nobody ever heard of. Is there a reason or purpose to it.

Let me take this one.

There are many here that are enormous fans of Palin. I am one of them (see my tagline). We can be divided into two camps:

“Love me, love my dog”

and

“I love ya, support ya, and yet I wanna test you here...in friendly territory. So we can be on top of the game when the left and the LSM shoots off their last 5 remaining bullets.”

This is the difference between the “Tiger Beat” Palin fans and the serious fans who wanna make her our next President.
They wanna minimize any faults. We want to expose and correct them (out of affection and loyalty) so they can’t be used against her.

I’d say the substance of the late Ann Martin is pretty slim these days. But if we’re going there- God Bless the late Lee Atwater!

Mention the nationwide Tea Party to progressives and the lame-stream media and it is like tossing a cat into a dog pound.

Mention Sarah Palin in the same breath and it is akin to dumping a whole box full of cats into a dog pound. The lame-stream media are so afraid of Palin and the Tea Party forces that they have stopped pretending to cover them in a fair and balanced manner. This is evident by watching the coverage of the Tea Party and Sarah Palin by commentators and supposedly hard news anchors of MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC.

The latest rash of vicious attacks from the left came after Governor Sarah Palin spoke at the Tea Party Convention a few days ago. As a Tea Party member and a conservative, I see the trashing of Governor Sarah Palin as a positive ... people attack things they fear, and they really fear Palin’s popularity and power; and the more they attack her, the more popular she becomes among the general public.

Even though the left has desperately tried to paint the Tea Party as an “angry white mob,” eyewitnesses, videos and photos show a much different picture. The party includes veterans, conservative Democrats, conservative Republicans, conservative independents, Reagan Democrats, some moderates, blacks, whites, Hispanics, native Americans, Asians, men, women and teenagers. This huge cross-section of Americans is what really scares the progressives and their allies in the media. I believe this force will grow and will continue to exert pressure on the nation’s political scene. This does not bode well for progressives, far-left liberals, socialists and RINOs.

I urge every patriotic American to join and support the national Tea Party forces; after all, it’s our country and I think it is worth fighting for.

I think 2nd vet is a big supporter of the Gov. I can’t answer for him so I won’t.

You’ve never heard of Roland S. Martin? Are you a recent high school graduate or some such?

The TP folks are for the most part not stupid, naive or unsophisticated. They know the lay of the land and understand fully why they are TP members and what Obama is attempting to do to radically “transform” America, and frankly these folks hold the Messiah in contempt and the grester majority live for the day that he is gone.

Sarah Palin simply reflects their passion, speaks to their decency and reflects their attitudes and beliefs. That is why she embraced and adored by the TP movement.

Palin is an experienced down to earth politician of the people. She lives and breaths and has governed on the ideas of liberty with the belief in the sovereign citizen as articulated by our founders. I have yet to see any other leader stand up so boldly to Obama and be successful not only in driving the discourse but also holding her ground instead of running and hiding when the leftist hoards descend or her. She governed that way in Alaska and before the McCain Campaign totally mismanaged her with its band of left leaning yuppie troglodytes like Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace. She won elections against both corporate and political machines that fought hard to destroy her. They failed. Palin is getting her political mojo going, she is held to a higher standard and though that is not fair she not crying and taking her balls and going home as the big money, good ole boy Republicans with their corporate interests and only slightly less big government goals than their Democrat counterparts would desire. Palin is steadily building steam while being attacked on all sides. Her record is seldom mentioned because for the time she was governor she did a great job and had an approval rating to be envied before the liberal media began its barrage of personal attacks on her and her family. Palin is proving her critics wrong more and more everyday. She was smart not to stay embroiled in a state government while her chances to maintain and build a nation platform disappeared and she was buried under a pile of ever increasing debt due to the abuse of ethics complaints by leftists nuts. The the good ole boys who kiss up to conservatives only to use us surely don’t like her. They hate what she is. She is something they can’t control. Like Reagan she isn’t really one of them and never really will be because where they believe in process over principles she puts her principles into process. I know some on our side like to parrot the left because Sarah isn’t their pet puppet. She isn’t controlled and it is about time we have more politicians who aren’t merely puppets for hidden powers and agendas. It is time to elect real everyday Americans who aren’t lawyers and political Machiavelli’s. We have too many on the Right and Left that look at the people as crude children to be manipulated not respected. It is time for change.

BINGO! As an intelligence analyst, I taught a class to the troops called "Know Your Enemy" and it's important in politics, as well. Also, "how you train in peacetime is how you'll fight in war" is a very old saying that is as true today as it ever was.

I didn’t insult you, I just asked if you were young, since you hadn’t heard of Mr. Martin, who’s been around since dirt was fresh.

Yet when one of her biggest supporters, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, also castigated liberals by calling them retards,...

"In the words of Dennis Miller, “the reason I love Sarah Palin so much is because she annoys the hell out of liberals.”

Absolutely. Another reason: Sarah is 100% right in her speeches, and in her statements throughout her new book (which I just finished). She's a true American Conservative, no doubt.

Dennis Miller is great, too. He needs to be Press Secretary when the GOP gets the White House back in 2010. :>
