Every time I see that meme repeated by a conservative, it reminds me of how successful the left is at steering our thinking patterns.
After everything the left has thrown at Palin in the last five years, she's barely got a scratch on her, but to hear some conservatives tell it, she's finished. Many of them say the same thing about the country, the Tea Party, and the patriotic right.
Not a word of it is any truer than the myth of man made global warming, but that doesn't seem to matter. Despite the fact that we're still in the majority in this country, we're supposed to all bow our heads in defeat and kiss our country good-bye.
Makes me want to punch something.

I agree with you in the sense that Sarah has shown she is made out of "The Right Stuff". She has shaken off every punch and low blow the left (and the RINOs) have thrown at and become stronger for it.
But there is no denying that the media and leftists have been successful in pretty much destroying her viability as a candidate by creating a perception among the general population that she is a flake and not to be taken seriously. It is based on lies, falsehoods and half truths but it has been effective and has taken root as the perceived truth.
I would wager that other than informed conservatives, most people with an opinion as to who said "I can see Russia From My House" would say it was Sarah, not Tina Fey.
One indicator of the effectiveness of Tina Fey's parody, which was a blatant ridicule of Sarah, is the fact that Tina won an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her impersonation of Sarah on SNL.
The leftist media loved her for it and rewarded her for the damage she did to Sarah's credibility with the general public.
