Not all Palin supporters, just those who denigrate her in the guise of defending her.
I suppose some of them could be closet Paul supporters just pretending to be Palin supporters. But I think it is likely they are well-meaning people who think it helps the candidate to make excuses when none are needed.
If you read my comments in the “Palin went to Canada” thread, you would recognize that my arguments for Palin there are much like my arguments in old Romney threads.
I look at events and quotes, and look for alternative explanations that might better fit reality. While I have seen the media make up quotes, most of the time they get the quotes right, but misinterpret them.
I saw a kind of similarity, you used to attack Romney critics, now you attack Palin supporters, that is different but similar, we love all the attention that you devote to us, well, not really.
