Amidst the heightened tensions and threats of security against members of Congress that has followed the passing of health care, some pundits are targeting Sarah Palin as an example of irresponsible fan flaming. We’ve already addressed the mysterious power of her Facebook page, but it is the actually a graphic ad on her Facebook page for SarahPAC (featuring cross-hairs) that is raising the most ire, even from more traditional pundits, namely, The View’s Elizabeth Hasselbeck

I was shocked when I learned she was a graduate of Boston College! Shocked!
That used to be a hard school to get into, and then graduate! What the heck happened.
The reason they have her on that show is because she is defenseless, utterly defenseless in the battle of wits. Let’s see them try the same nonsense with Michelle Malkin, who would run circles around those bimbos.
And that is all the left needs to keep this completely bogus non-story going.
1)Create fake controversy about conservatives/Republicans
2)Push controversy in media
3)Wait for a one or two deluded conservatives craving for spotlight to agree with liberal talking point
4)Use attention seeking conservative to continue pushing story
5)Rinse and repeat
John McCain actually filled this role many, many times.
Every political insider knows this entire “Republicans are dangerous and mean” whining was part of the overall strategy the Democrats devised for HCR. They knew it wasn’t popular, they knew the right would be furious, so they executed a strategy to try to make everyone that opposed HCR look like crazed nuts. The left knows the mainstream media will play along, and they know some conservative/Republican will inevitably show up and give them cover to continue the nonsense.
Guilt can not be established based on the evidence presented on this thread so far.
Well, she did cringe when admitting she agreed with Joy.
And those independant voters he has been bleeding are the the voters who pushed him over the top in the 2008 election. I do believe this very statement, along with the disastrous fiscal policies he is enacting, will continue to push this crucial voting block away from him for good. The indie voters are fiscal hawks and most of them detest social turmoil. No second term for him:)
;-)
Actually, that was kind of funny. Sad, but at the same time funny.
Sounds like “pundit”, or “runt”, or something.
Pundit? Has to be a typo.
I agree. Should have been “cundit”.
I don’t understand why anyone would have a problem with using crosshairs to oppose a politician, Democrat or Republican.
This isn't an isolated incident. She does this crap all the time. Case in point, just a few days ago...
Not once did she suggest that maybe, just maybe none of it happened.
She supports gay marriage. She made some comment last year about how it was the government's responsibility to help single mothers pay for daycare. It goes on and on.
Elisabeth Hasselback gives that show a patina of "balance", that is used to help ABC pretend that it's giving voice to the other side. If there was a smart conservative women on that show, she would DESTROY the leftists on that panel.
There are MILLIONS of smart conservative (and telegenic) women in this country. It makes you wonder why they decided on the intellectually vacant Hasselbeck.
Man! when we randomly cross here on FR it’s like we are twin brains with a different mother!
Spooky.
Maybe she should go on Survivor again
That means we’d either get along famously,
or hate each other
in person.
Unfortunately, she’s as dumb as a dead possum. But then again, that’s the only reason she’s the “conservative” voice on The View.
Rule 308?
She has a degree in fashion design, not economics. Just saying. Prior to securing a place on the View set with the other hags, she was a game show contestant. This isn't the "stuff" of great conservative thinkers.
Rule 308 is the final rule to resort to in
a parliamentary situation.
But the left miscalculated this time....they didn’t count on us tuning out the media in massive numbers. We’re not buying what the media is selling anymore and are simply watching it’s spectacular implosion.
Well, I find it “despicable” that the Left continues to call the Tea Party movement patriots ‘teabaggers’.
Whereas Sarah is decorative AND functional!
