Again, when did I (a rightie) claim she wasn't a politician?"You guys" means righties.

Just because the term is foreign to you is irrelevant...Who is more polarizing? Bush?
And there is no worse line than "think for yourself". Someone telling you to think for yourself means they're telling you to think like they do.
Ok you want one example. Her use of the term blood libel. I've never even heard that term. Who uses that? She was wrongly blamed for this sick kids behavior for three days. Now when she responds it once again becomes all about her as the media fixates on whether she was deliberately provacative with the term or clueless about it. Was she being anti-semetic with it?
Hey you are free to support her 100%. But because she isn't the top candidate for other Republicans doesn't mean they aren't thinking or aren't real Republicans.
Just because the term is foreign to you is irrelevant...
You must know by now that the term is well know to another segment of the population and it is a filling term to use for the issue.....
An unjust accusation ....As ridiculous in her case as it was that Jews were killing Christian babies for their blood to cook with....
And THAT is her point....
It is not provocative and it is not anti-semitic in the least...unless you NEED to make it seem that way to promote some twisted political goal...
Which proves her point exactly. The media once again committed blood libel against Palin.I'm not saying its an anti-semite comment as like I said I don't even know what the hell it means. I'm saying the media started asking if it was which took the attention away from the point she was trying to make.
If you're talking about this: Palin knows how to market herself and it has made her and her family rich in the last two years. But part of drawing all that attention to herself produces some of the backlaand sh we see.
Palin isn't drawing attention to herself any more or less that any other politican...its YOU and the obcessed msm that draws attention to her....
and then in the blick or an eye...blame her for that very attention...
its fuckin' amazing to witness from a neutral perspective and even more amazing from a conservative perspective...
You guys keep telling us she's not a politician, therefore she shouldn't be scrutinized so closely.
I don't think she's anti-Semitic, just that the phrase was over the top and did the exact opposite of what she intended. Why couldn't she just say "libel", without the blood?
You've said this numerous times and I've answered it a few times. The problem is that you don't like or agree with the reasons you're given, so you keep asking the question over and over hoping to get a different answer.
The reason YOU'VE given are not YOUR reasons....they are the reasons of the liberal pinheads that you've heard it from..(you're just the parrot repeating them.)
I (and most liberals) don't HATE her. I don't think she's very smart or savvy about politics outside her village. I think she uses "us versus them" language that is guaranteed to divide people. She doesn't speak of the country like we're all Americans; she uses phrases like "take our country back", "liberal elites", "real values", etc. She plays to her supporters and basically ignores or insults those who differ with her.
And Obamas calling political opponents "the enemy" doesn't convey the "us versus them" theme, right..?
The Democrats NEVER used the term "take our country back" while compaigning, right?
Democrats and liberals don't "play to their supporters", right ?
And if you answered 'right' to any of those questions, you're a bigger pinhead than I imagined....
If I sent her a campaign contribution, she'd accept my filthy liberal lucre with a printed thank-you note, not return it out of principle. I read her memoir and tried (but failed) to read her second book. She's thin-skinned and critical and fails to acknowledge the validity of viewpoints different from hers. She doesn't even give them lip service.
Of course....just like Obama or Kerry would accept my money with the same stupid fuckin' thank you note...
Your gotta be a pinhead to even make such a stupid fuckin' statement.
I want a leader who talks to the country like we're all united as Americans, not like liberals are a plague she has to put down.
And thats EXACTLY what the msm intended to happen...I'm not saying its an anti-semite comment as like I said I don't even know what the hell it means. I'm saying the media started asking if it was which took the attention away from the point she was trying to make.
Is that all you got from my post...the least important observation....the "who gives a shit what her future plans are" until we see them....She isn't running for anything, YET or is she?
And thats EXACTLY what the msm intended to happen...
Deflect Plains valid point and redirect attention to some unimportant, and inane point.
These people are MASTERS at what they do...and liberal pinheads are the sheeple that can be led by the nose to whatever destination they choose...
And we Conservatives can't ever, ever shame them to think on a higher plane.....
I'm just speaking out loud here. Like I said I'm a Christian but I'm no theologian. I'm going to assume (possibly wrongly) that many people (like me) didn't know what the term met so then it gets left up to media to describe it to us. Why even use a term like that? I understand it may appeal to some Christians but it just seems like she could have used an example that everyone could understand and the media couldn't twist.
I do not hate her. I dislike how ready a certian group is to have her be there political leader when she 1) is snide in almost all of her comments 2) is signifigantly uneducated and 3) lacks political acume or grace.
She is shrill and snide....
1. Opinion.
2. Elitism.
3. Opinion.
Anything to back up your opinions?
I think she used the term to demonstrate that the media would twist it.
Its all my studied opinion.
She plays a cat and mouse game with the media, because the second she has to answer an off the cuff question she looks foolish so she blames them and pretends its there fault she looks dumb.
She takes no personal responsablitiy for her own foolishness.
To me that just re-emphasizes (sp) that it is all about her. How does it benefit her to have the media twist her words? I don't think that is going to win people over to her side.
Because most Americans are sick and tired of the media's blood libel against anyone or anything conservative.
Or, we could just as likely witness a perfect storm; a further backlash against the elites and media, just like as the GOP rode to victory last November.Just my guess but I bet it does nothing to help her popularity or her rating numbers which are important to her if she wants to run for President.
