I quit reading after the first 2 sentences.
The hate in this one runs deep.
“This is the winter of Sarah Palin’s discontent. Her “don’t retreat, reload” rhetoric blew up on her when Americans started fretting about heated political talk after an Arizona gunman shot a congresswoman and killed a federal judge.”
ROTFLOL....’Americans’ didn’t start ‘fretting’ about anything other than crazy people with guns. It was the press that started ‘fretting’ and desperately trying to tie the shooting with Sarah, the Tea Party and anyone else that ever uttered a conservative thought.
Stopped reading right there...not interested in more mainstream drivel and nazi/commie propaganda from our corrupted press. No offense.
For Bachmann to have a chance she’s going to have to have money and organization early. Romney has both in place in Iowa but Huckabarf proved that Romney can be beaten there. I have some doubts about Bachmann’s ability to campaign on a national level but I think she would present an appealing alternative to “others”.
They wish and doesn't the use of "blew up on her" constitute the use of "heated political talk"?
Chest boots on and secured.
I applaud you for having the stomach to read something written in The Nation, a magazine so far to the left that it is now approaching on us on the right side.
This article is so full of wishful thinking and outright projection that it should have been published in Mad magazine, right after Spy vs. Spy.
Michelle Bachmann rocks.
Let’s be clear about all this.
1. Media gins up an immediate “frenzy” (before the number of victims was even counted) connecting a crazy man on a killing spree to the tone of political discourse.
2. Sarah Palin becomes the most “usual suspect” according to the chattering class.
3. Sarah Palin is removed from consideration as a Presidential contender as a result of 1 & 2.
Can they be any more contemptuous? Or transparent?
I heard some "conservative" maggot call talk radio last week and say that Palin should take at least a little responsibility for the "Tuscon" shootings. What the hell is that? Is that like being a little bit pregnant? DemocRATS need to take responsibility for that wacked out pothead. Not Sarah Palin.
Awesome! Bachmann draws the leftist fire off of Sarah Palin, Sarah runs and wins! EXCELLENT!

But her rhetoric still fell far short of that dude who said: "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."
Now who was it that said that? And Palin's remark did not blow up on her; the low life propagandists in the MSM tried to blow it up on her.
"blew up on her?" Clever writing!
Barf.
Ah, the Nation.
The bastion of liberal “intellect”.
And “liberal intellect” is an Oxymoron if there ever was one.
If we got Herman Cain into the mix, the lefties would go nuts. They win nothing if even 255 of blacks vote Repub.
Actually, Bachmann is a much more appealing CANDIDATE than SP. SP helps the cause considerably but has too much antipathy to overcome to WIN.
Given a choice between Palin and Bachmann I’d take Michelle in a heartbeat and twice on Sunday. However I believe Ms Bachmann needs a bit more seasoning and national exposure and to expand her national base. Until that time I’d have to cautiously and with a bit of trepidation support Sarah Palin.
