Why do you not blame her? O’Donnell was heavily promoted by many here at FR, and those of us who pointed out the problems that O’Donnell had were viciously and mercilessly attacked for daring not to toe the line.
So, now Palin has an issue with O’Donnell and suddenly, everyone falls in line behind Palin?
There is absolutely no consistency.
After her performance on Piers Morgan and the absurdity of her “sexual harassment” charge against him who wouldn’t have an issue with COD?
Well....she promoted O’Donnell but I thought it was more payback for that Tea party group supporting Miller in Alaska. Remember neither Palin or DeMint backed her until the last moment.
As an aside I backed O’Donnell too but only to take out Castle. Never liked that woman and didn’t care that she lost. I was actually relieved she lost.
But yeah...you can’t back someone and then cancel an appearance or ‘put on hold” that appearance because they’ve also been invited to speak. If as her fans believe she intended to make some presidential intentions known at this event then she should have had every detail tightly managed weeks ago. This would come off as an amatuerish entrance if she did so now. Not that I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want Christine O’Donnell linked with an announcement but...if that was a concern she should have have planned an announcement at an event of her own...if she even planned to make one.
It’s more subtle than that. Bottom line is that most of the people I know, in all walks of life, that don’t support Palin, think she is an idiot. I don’t. In fact, quite the contrary. But showing up with O’donell only confirms their beliefs. The reason is that the only thing that these people remember about O’donell is “ex-witch”.
It should not be that way, but it is.
>> There is absolutely no consistency.
Duh! An internet forum is pretty much a mob. You set yourself up for disappointment if you expect consistency.
On the other hand, inconsistency (a.k.a. “hypocrisy” during flame wars) is a great source of material for posts. :-)
