He has a good point, flame retardant is off to a pretty weird start.
Flame Retardant didn't just start posting with this thread. He has been posting since 4/21. Prior to starting this thread, he had made about 25 posts. And he really doesn't look like a troll in those posts.
I am not a fan of the echo chamber mode that this place becomes sometimes. Nor of sniffing at newbies, save obvious trolls. Nor of the mindset that equates any criticism of Palin with treason.
The article is legit - I heard Levin go off on it last evening.
Palin did what Bundy did - went off topic. The sad thing about it is that both chose, wittingly or not, to use things that dehumanize. That is always going to blow up.
I do believe she has a role to play. She needs to be careful not to overplay it.
