Coulter on Palin: Let’s face it, she’s probably not electable
Hotair ^ | 09/06/2011 | Allahpundit

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?

Exit quotation: “She’s become sort of the Obama of the tea party, she’s just ‘The One’ to a certain segment of right-wingers.” Click the image to watch.

A lot of this is just Bruce's underhanded way to get folks to the '$ub$cription only' parts of her web site.
Since when does a pro-abortion lesbian speak for conservatives? Palin fanatics conveniently ignore Bruce's advocacy for killing infants in the womb. An utter disgrace.

Aside: Is 'The Tammy' rubbing Testim on her shoulders each morning? ~snicker~

RE: Make sure you read Palin’s speech in Iowa. I think someone posted the entire text here in FR. It’s a manifesto. It’s long. She gives a 5-point plan for getting us out of our mess. No one today but Palin could put together the collection of ideas and inspiration she showed us in Iowa.

>>> I know I haven’t bought one since she took her columns from the previous year and had an editor paste them together and call it a “book”

That describes how Charles Dickens wrote and published David Copperfield and various similar small works.

Wow. that sure zings Ann.

Brilliantly done.

Really.

“Featured”.

Heck Tammy almost carried the movie single-handed.

Between her, Breitbart and Levin, what a batting order. Love those three - they were fabulous.

I agree with you totally. If she runs it will be a disaster as she will split the conservative vote and we’ll have Obama for 4 more years. Sorry I’m not addicted to the Palin cult of personality as so many here are.

Every consrvative radio talk show outside the beltway likes Paliin, but if they live inside it they hate her.. Pretty much follows that they all talk to each other inside the beltway,

That works the other way, too. Perhaps all of the conservative radio talk shows outside the Beltway are talking to each other to coordinate?

I won’t need to click to watch. It was quite embarrassing to watch the first time. I used to like Coulter and Ingraham until I realized they are part of the establishment elite. I don’t care what they think anymore.

Look up the word “serialization” and then go smack yourself.

It’s inexplicable, but no question ... Palin is gay kryptonite.

That's why Tammy Bruce is one of her most vocal supporters.

If we're talking about Palin running as a third-party candidate I quite agree.

Tammy has been an intellectually honest liberal for more than 10 years. Yes some of her views are not conservative, but she recognizes the fascism of the Left and denounces it in her speeches and books. She is one liberal you can have a conversation with and she would not get angry and call you names.

Right now she is making too much money and has too much pull. If she runs and looses that would be all over. That fact that she keeps playing hide and seek with her candidacy is getting tiring. She would be greta as a cheerleader for our side and as a cabinet member but not as president.
She should state her intentions so we can get on with this .

Lame.Ass.Post.

I could produce a 15 second commercial that shows side by side what Palin did for Alaska and what Obama has done to the country.

Executive experience? The choice couldn't be clearer.

And to the other basher's, guess you didn't watch her Iowa speech. She put EVERYONE on notice; She's coming and the TEA Party is coming with her. About damn time those cozy bastards in D.C. feel uptight.

“Do you really care if she’s “goproud”

You cannot compartmentalize a mental disorder. The thinking of people who suffer from same-sex attraction disorder is affected by their disorder at least occasionally.

Ann is sad because she lost her “the ONE” status with conservatives quite awhile ago...
