I guess that makes me a Scientologist, because I’ve posted repeatedly that Palin holds a special position because there is no one — not even George W. Bush — who has been the subject of the Democratic, mainstream media and left-blogosphere smear machine to the extent Palin has.
So yes, I do take it personally when conservatives lash out at Palin not because of her policy positions or what she’s done or not done in her career, but with personal invective.
It’s not religion, its a cold hard understanding of what is to come, and how those who call Palin a diva or a tease or any of the other names coming from media conservatives do damage to us all. Palin is simply the test case for how the Republican nominee, whoever that person may be, will be treated, and we pile on her at our own peril.

Simply by waiting to announce, Palin has driven media conservatives mad. It all seems so familiar.

I will be voting for Perry with a heavy heart if he wins the nomination. But I will not pretend that he is a big believer in small government, border control or the dangers of Islam and progressivism. He is and will remain second-rate, I’m afraid. I don’t hold out much hope that America will be better off in 2016 with Perry. Bob
Is your failure to be courteous to people you backstab
without notice from Texas or California?
You are quite impetuous, too; matching your inaccuracies.
Wow.. forgive my grammar typos >.< I hate when I don’t double check :p
CA Conservative, you and your RINOs don’t
become conservative by labeling yourselves as such.
And your vicious attacks on Gov. Palin for your RINOs
is not appropriate at a conservative web site.
======== thanks for the pings, FRiends.
Check Freepmail.
Please point out where I have "attacked" Governor Palin? As many of you point out repeatedly, it is not an attack to point out a candidates actions or record...
I didn't see that thread, but I saw one disruptive Perry supporter who trolled Palin threads (a n00b's ZOT) this morning, by the Admin Mod, and I realize that harm is happening and I am very concerned. I do not want Free Republic to suffer any harm at all. As you and all of us know, FR is wholly supported by the donations of our membership and our 4th Quarter Freepathon starts on October 1, 2011. We need all members to donate and that means Palin and Perry supporters, and supporters of all candidates.
Nobody should permit the vociferous, trouble making posters to hold sway. The majority of us think for ourselves. We are NOT followers of Pied Pipers who just happen to have some clever line against the other side, be that side Palin's or Perry's or some other candidate...(Ron Paul ..gasp).
We are the premiere conservative forum on the whole of the Internet and we will remain that way despite the actions of the scant few who seem to want to cause trouble and disruption.
The majority of our members can hold civil and lively discussions without getting personal and vicious, and the majority realize that vetting candidates and voicing opposing views are part of the process. We've done that here on FR every election cycle. We are conservatives. We want to make sure we are supporting a vetted conservative candidate.
Nobody is going to get a free pass this time around and nobody is a sure thing or not electable.
As far as I know, Jim doesn't ZOT anyone but trolls, retread trolls and the truly disruptive who just never learn. Of course, I could be mistaken.
Thank you.

I hope you don't post that after she announces.
Again, sad. And kinda pathetic. Of course, by your reasoning, Rick Perry must be off your list too.
Hahahahaha!
Yeah, you weren’t attacking her in this post, you were just pointing out total truths to us foolish FR dweebs who couldn’t see through her, unlike you and your amazing intellect that knows all: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2774889/posts?page=88#88

Thanks very much again for your very kind words!
Together we will try our very best! We have several months to wage battle!
I am going to Tampa, FL for the GOP Debate hosted by TEA PARTY EXPRESS/cnn on SEPTEMBER 12, 2011!
Touche! Point well made!
Every candidate is supported or opposed and treated alike. There isn’t anything new going on around here this election cycle.
Having said that, we Palin supporters may be a bit more protective because that woman has been under constant, unwarranted assault since she came on the scene in 2008. We don’t like it nor will we idly sit by and let other “conservatives” who are somewhat indistinguishable from the vile left in attacking a great American such as Sarah. We’ll have her back every time there is a need.
I’m determined to not let the left succeed because if they do, we’ll never get a decent person to run for office again.
And for the record, Palin has been attacked here much longer than Perry. In fact, many of the early Sarah attackers are now the incredibly thin-skinned “PerryKrishnas”.
beandog needn’t take your bait.
Two banned posters for using language that can’t be repeated.
Next.
*Sigh*
I’ll be soooo glad when the end of September gets here. I’m looking forward to the change of pace when the anti-Palin crowd changes their meme from “She isn’t running,” to “She can’t win.”
At no point in my life... and I am 56... have I ever doubted our future or that we would leave a stronger and more free America to our children... better off than what we were left... now I have my doubts as to whether this Republic will even survive.
I knew that progressives hated America and were bat sh!t crazy... but enough of those that are supposed to be on our side of this fight seem to be more interested in winning the coming election than saving our Nation. Been there done that with Bush... and that is exactly what gave us obama. This is our last chance... that chance is growing slimmer with each passing day.

Name one thing in that post that is an attack on Sarah...
We are seeing the same tactic the MSM used against Palin in Alaska. When they couldn’t male her yield, they started suing and her staff got dragged in to PAY for their own defense.
Thats all this is and notice the coordination
A month from now they will be onto another line of attack.
Mock them, don’t let them upset anyone. Just mock them for their inability to do anything but dogpile. It’s that simple.
Palin “cultists” are no more populous or rabid than any other candidate has. And far less than some. Let them find one fainting Palinite at a rally. Let them find one assaulting an opponent physically.
It’s all a put up job by the MSM and opposition operatives. No more, no less.
