I am tickled-thrilled to find such logical thought on this thread.

Such has become increasingly rare on this board - sad to say.

I said many months ago that Sarah needed to do something about her voice. Rather that recognizing a real problem there, I would hear that bad sound systems are at fault; or (a one size fits all excuse), I was parroting the MSM Sarah-hate.

That last one is especially dumb. Now, I don't mind being insulted all that much, but I really resent having stupidity hurled at me in a feeble attempt at argument.

Every reasonable problem with her as a candidate has a convenient, boilerplate response with a garnish of personal invective in way too many instances. A few days ago, I saw a Mod pull a personal attack and admonish. I was hoping perhaps a memo had gone out to actually enforce the rule.

Yes...”NO personal attacks.” And that SHOULD be enforced.

It’s one thing to disparage politcians and other public figures who make themselves known, another to blast other FReepers, most of whom try to protect their privacy and identities.

I couldn’t agree with you more about the voice. It is shrill indeed. The more emotional she gets, the more shrill she gets.

Good to find another wise FReeper here who is interested in logic and factual information and doesn’t care for personality cult thinking.

Or maybe I should say, “lack of thinking.”

And that is a fair critique. My wife, for example, doesn't like her voice.

But that is not what the poster in question is being criticized for. It is for his embrace of this liberal trash attack on Palin - in a post that was removed - that is drawing fire. Along with his giving substance to the volume of attacks on Palin giving an indication that there is something there - threby supporting the very agenda that is driving the volume of attacks.

I don't have a problem with conservative discussions of Palin, Perry, or any other politician - all of them have issues. I do have a problem with so-called conservatives embracing liberal attack points against those politicans. If it was a newb doing it, they would get zotted. But old-timers seem to think they should get a pass for doing just that.
