Best way to deal with this type of idiot is to recognize the idiocy and not feed it. I ran into same the other day and allowed myself to engage only to have comment after comment deleted by mods... the idiot I was engaging had no courage and must have been leaning on abuse to save themselves.
There are a lot of these idiotic posts lately... I think they are meant to inflame those who like Palin (hoping to get you banned) and divert you from communicating her message, respecting her as well as giving validity to her possible candidacy.
You may be right, of course, but I’ll engage them for a period. I’m not a Palinbot per se. I really like her, really like her speaking out and what she has to say, but I’m not on the bandwagon (yet) for a 2012 run. I want to see how the field shakes out first.
What bugs me though, is these jerks stirring dissension. They’re not in it for the debate but to cause disruption. That’s a low-life, cheap and it demeans them, and FR by association.
