Although I have written several columns expressing my admiration for Sarah Palin, I admit I have never taken her seriously as a 2012 presidential candidate. I've always felt that her greatest asset was as a kingmaker and behind the scenes advisor. In addition I've assumed that she wasn't that interested in pursuing the job but rather enjoyed making waves in the liberal media. The more I read the continuing attacks on Palin and her family I've started wondering why the Democrats and their media lapdogs fear her so much. Even some conservative pundits have determined that she is unelectable because of her high negatives. Those negatives are actually bogus and based on lies and misinformation and there is really only one word to describe Sarah Palin - indomitable.
Bill Maher played to the lowest common denominator and insinuated that Palin was a "dumb tw**t" and his moronic audience cheered. Ari Fleischer, a former press secretary in the George W. Bush administration, said recently that he couldn't see "any way, shape or form that [Palin] can win" the White House. Naturally there was a Public Policy poll that determined that Democratic and Independent voters would vote for Charlie Sheen over Sarah Palin. The fact that there was even such a poll should indicate the vigorous campaign to minimize her credibility as a serious candidate. Who's paying for these skewered polls anyway?
The anti-Palin campaign stretches to foreign media where Canadian TV columnist John Doyle writes in the Globe and Mail that television forever killed Palin's chances to be president. He writes: "television duly destroyed the Palin authenticity. The arc of her national political career began with a defining speech at the Republican National Convention in September, 2008,

He claimed Reagan proved he was worthy of being president by being governor of California in an earlier post, pretending that "proved" Palin wasn't fit. I asked him what Reagan had done as a governor that showed he was going to be a great president and like a chiken sh*t he ran away and never answered.
No one is diminishing Reagan, what rintense said was true, he was not perfect, and Palin isn't perfect.
That's the comparison that's being made. You buy into this crap that we're tearing down Reagan to boost up Palin? That's a pissant story, so go where your hero pissant is, he'll still love you.
That's not what happened.
In this post which I quoted, LowOil is enthusiastically agreeing with the now-outed-and-banned-PDS-troll named "pissant" about Duncan Hunter.
So to call him a Duncan zombie (given pissant's history of trying one name after another to proclaim as his new-improved-this-time-it's-for-real-true-love-at-last-a-real-conservative-we-can-all-get-behind-as-long-as-the-name-is-anything-but-Sarah-Palin (NITTIFRTLALARCWCAGBALATNIABSP)TM) is a pretty good initial estimate.
Oh, not to mention that you *PINGED* a couple of notorious Sarah-bashers in your reply to me.
...You gotta work at this whole incognito thing. Loud golf pants and a WWJD? t-shirt will not fool anyone when you've still got the Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker on your Prius.
Cheers!
Good grief, are you suggesting those insults weren't in every other post the man had to Palin supporters?
You are kidding right? The man had left his senses, was as insane as anyone I've ever seen on a posting board. Sorry, he deserved to be zotted months before he did. He had become a stain on FR
Dearest LowOil, why did you not reply to me this afternoon? It was a simple post, part of a conversation you clearly could not handle I guess.
LoL, keep trolling my FRiend.
Not tonight Sharky. I am busy twisting a french knot with my nosehairs.
Hey, why don’t you just settle the matter once and for all, ping the powers that be and ask them if I am Pissant. Go all out my friend.
Won't work to change the subject.
Who IS your preferred GOP candidate for President?
Can you point to posts other than the ones I posted, where you have held this point of view consistently?
Cheers!
LowOil said he/she loved Duncan Hunter. So what? That doesn’t mean they are pissant or agree with pissant on everything. I bet 100% of posters on this website agreed with pissant on some subject or other. Will you call them all “zombies”? Your trashing of fellow FReepers is way over the line, IMO.
No. I said nothing of the kind. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit.
Good grief, are you suggesting those insults weren't in every other post the man [pissant] had to Palin supporters?
No. (Hint: I said NOTHING about pissant.)
I was speaking of the trashing of LowOil. Get it?
You are kidding right?
No. I wasn't kidding. I find the trashing of people that respect Duncan Hunter repulsive.
I didn't do that.
I'm pointing out they agreed with the-now-banned-troll-pissant on Duncan Hunter.
If you look the last post from them to me, they're saying I *called them* pissant; and now you're making the same accusation.
Note that I was courteous enough to reply to them -- calling them on the attempted strawman, and then asking (again) if they can show that their support for Hunter has been consistent.
You're either posting without reading (at best) or lying through your teeth (at worst).
One is the mark of carelessness or excitement; the other, the mark of a troll.
The fact that *TWO* anti-Palin-Posters in a row come up with the same demonstrably false accusation against me within a couple of minutes, lends support to "troll".
But, I'll gladly watch your next few posts before making up my mind.
Cheers!
I findthetrashingofpeoplethatbecause they respect Duncan Hunter to be repulsive.
...it's all in Plato, all in Plato. What *do* they teach them in these schools?
Cheers!
I'll try again, what makes you think that you are a conservative and a Christian, while Sarah Palin is not?
You said she wasn't, said that's why you couldn't vote for her so let's hear some proof. It was your statement, so back it up.
Yeah. You did. True or false:
Did you post this? "I found LowOil... here and here, where he reveals himself as a Duncan Hunter zombie."
Did you not link to two posts by LowOil (NOT pissant)?
In those two posts, did LowOil not make supportive comments about CONSERVATIVE congresscritter, Duncan Hunter?
As I said, there was nothing "zombie-ish" about his quotes.
And now you call me a liar? You're a real piece of work.
LLS
Why should I? You're the one posting BS and trashing FReepers.
He won't stick up for his own posts, rather he just spews vomit all over any thread that has Palin as its subject.
You know, I even relinked to one of those posts, before you did, showing how he was enthusiastically responding to the-now-banned-PDS-troll pissant.
First you and the other dude falsely accused me of calling him pissant; then, when I blew that out of the water, you're going back to your original, already-refuted accusation.
I called him a zombie because he agreed with pissant about Duncan Hunter; and asked him to show (in his own earlier quotes) that he had been a consistent supporter of Hunter.
As it is, it looks like both of you are attempting to tag-team, and failing badly.
Show your own posts from the past, where you explain in detail why you like Hunter; and then show where you've attacked any other conservative GOP Prez wannabee, other than just trashing Sarah.
Can you do that? Are you willing?
Cheers!
