>>To malign Sarah Palin based on an attempted characterization of her supporters is an Alinsky tactic<<
IOW, “We can yell EVEN LOUDER and use EVEN MORE INSULTS!”
I did not malign Gov. Palin through her supporters. I suggest that those supporters should keep in mind they are her Ambassadors.
Unless the “whether you would support” is hurtful and maligning. I keep forgetting the thin skin issue...
>>There’s a difference between merely pointing out your opinion that The Undefeated will not be the success we believe it will and hoping it won’t succeed.<<
And I said “I hope it will not succeed” exactly in which post? Please provide exact post and link thereto. Keep in mind that pointing out the simple arithmeic in the OP may not support the underlying OPs conclusion <> “not wanting to succeed.” I would really appreciate it if you didn’t make me provide a logic lesson — it is painful. I repeat: in what post did I say I hope the movie does not succeed?
>>How do the Roves, Krauthammers, Soroses and their followers feel about the fact that Palin’s “flaws” they had hoped for two years ago have turned out to be nonexistent while her successes have skyrocketed?. Why do you run from acknowledging this fact, and doesn’t it represent a level of success rendering your arguments completely meaningless?<<
You leave me in a quandary. For this one, I choose to request you to substantiate and quantify “successes have skyrocketed.” I will hold “the ‘fact’ flaws proof and ‘my arguments’ substantiation in abeyance.
It’s not a presumed “logic lesson.” If it were a lesson, it would be a lesson in empiricism, which is very distinct from logic. In any case, I’m convinced you hope it will not succeed.
Palin is “unprepared” and “dumb.” This is what they started out saying. At this point, it’s simply “she can’t win.”
But the lesson in logic here (not painful, though) is that a person who comes up sometimes in first place and sometimes in second (the only unannounced candidate among the rest who have officially declared their candidacy) is easily positioned, logically speaking, to win in a race that doesn’t end for more than a year.
