Interesting segment, not because Coulter’s advancing any new criticisms of Palin but because she’s willing to acknowledge openly the political risk on the right in criticizing her in the first place. According to Coulter, conservatives refuse to challenge Palin publicly because they don’t want to deal with the hate mail from her supporters. That’s part of it, I’m sure — by now, all columnists and bloggers know what awaits after criticizing Palin or, say, Ron Paul — but I suspect the better part is that there’s simply no faster ticket to RINOville among some grassroots conservatives than uttering a discouraging word about Sarah. It’s the ultimate “one of us” litmus test; not even a right-winger as stalwart and confrontational as Coulter is immune, apparently, from the inevitable establishment/RINO/sellout/”Beltway cocktail party” nonsense afterward. That said, I’m curious why she’s speaking up now. Has she reached the point where she just doesn’t care anymore? Or is she so worried about the election that she’s willing to lose some fans in the interest of maximizing the GOP’s advantage?

Not really.
What ? ???? what a dumb post

Well said, savagesusie, as always.
Maybe if she says Sarah’s name enough, she’s become relevant....or maybe not.
Gov. Perry is all hat no cattle, Perry will not secure our borders and I think he is an opportunist who says what he has to in order to get votes. He was dragged into the Republican party kicking and screaming and will sell out the the left IHO
Bachman is someone I admire for her toughness and willingness to stand up for what she believes, but she is far too robotic, and seems to pass on the tough questions
If I had my choice I would like to see Rubio enter the race, but he is probably too green.
I think Sarah Palin is who will be the one who goes up against Obama and will not allow herself to stoop to his level of ignorance and let him beat her with his experience at that level
I will support her should she decide to run.
She seems to be one of the few out there that actually realizes that Washington DC is broken and needs to be fixed.
I don't think she will run this cycle though.
upsdriver: Ah... but you are addicted to informing everyone you aren't addicted, right?

I understood it. Your overlords may want to reconsider that 30 cents per troll post they're giving you, sonic.
You appear to be suffering from unforced ignorance.
This is America, and you are free to be as ignorant as you wish.
BINGO, I watched her speech in Iowa and she is spot on, no tightrope walking, no afraid of pissing off the fence sitters, just the truth and the facts. Nobody so far is as bold, not even Michelle Bachman. It seems those of my gender on the Right has left their gonads with their campaign managers
I think we need to keep in mind that many of her bashers are not of the Tea Party but are supporters of the corruption wing of the Republican party. At least that's what they say to me when they continually defend the status quo.
Another damned troll lib lie...
You got that right. If Sarah "abandoned leadership" then she wouldn't have gone on to lead the charge and help the GOP take control the House in the 2010 elections.
Indeed, without Sarah's leadership, the 2010 GOP gains would probably have been significantly more modest.
In the context of the ongoing leadership which Sarah has shown after she resigned as Alaska's governor, the "abandoned leadership" accusation is demonstrably false, and I pity those who succumb to such shallow analysis.
It was lost on you, huh? Oh well.
LOL!! At last, someone who appreciates my sense of humor!!
Its Ok if Obama, Christe or Perry resign before term, but for Sarah its a biggest crime.
:*P
No , I got it , just though it was dumb. Guess if you say anything against Palin on FR these days you’re instantly the enemy. Whatever .
“sonic109: Sorry I’m not addicted to the Palin cult of personality as so many here are.

THE going rate used to be thirty pieces of silver...but some souls are cheaper than others.
I don’t think so. I just tried to have a “conversation” with a “Palinbot” here on FR. You would think that the simple artifice of asking a reasonable question about Sarah, it tantamount to taking the Lord’s name in vain or something of that magnitude. So many closed minds, so early in the process which gets us nowhere. So let’s just call anyone with whom we disagree “ignorant,” that will really push the dialogue to a new low, won’t it!
