TeamSomethingawful!

It's not that anyone, somethingawful or anyone, cares about Sarah Palin or her family. The reason TeamSarah was "attacked" and the reason there was a long thread about them in these very pages was that TeamSarah members were posting shocking racist things. The article that exposed them and that kicks off the TS C-D thread is here - Geoffrey Dunn: 'Watermelon Roll': More Racism from 'Team Sarah'

TeamSarah took the posts down, though only once they were exposed, of course. But you'll see that none of the quoted TS posters, in the aftermath, deny posting what they posted. The TS admin chides them as well - way to be hypocrites, plus disloyal to your members.

and you really should read the C-D TeamSarah thread - Team Sarah!

And, Miborn, the article you're quoting -
Quote:
Dunn tried to link the thoughts of a few right-wing crazies to an entire political movement.
If you read the Dunn article you'll see that's not true.

Please read the article and be shocked - or thrilled, maybe? - by what TeamSarah's members really think, even if they're not allowed to say so anymore.

I admitted it months ago, weeks ago and now, again, today. Sarah Palin is a joke that keeps on giving. I only have to read something she said and I get a smile on my face or break out in laughter.

Laughter is the best medicine and, God bless her, she make me laugh over and over again. If laughing at her 'intellect', her 'foreign policy' experience, her 'do as I say, not as I do' moral standards, etc. is a conspiracy, then, yes, I'm guilty! And, I'm not even a 'liberal'!! LOL

Oh, I also have to admit, I didn't read the OP's citation or her posts. I only read the title of the thread. I'm guessing, correctly I'm sure, that's it's her same ol', 'Poor misunderstood Sarah. Mean ol' liberals are picking on the poor dear.'

It may be just a front. But who would want to identify themselves as right wingers nowadays anyway?

Aren't you embarrassed to post this nonsense and link to a site called "redstate". The bias and hatred of linked sites is a clear indicator of the credibility and agenda of the person citing this trash.

And the Palin's are the poster children for dumb rednecks, low on intelligence and education, just white trash that have hit a lucky streak. These are the type of people we see on the "Cops" shows on TV, dysfunctional, drugs, 2nd generation pregnant before marriage, a family tradition?

Based on all of the nonsense he's posted about Obama around here I would say that Miborn is not easily embarrassed, although he gives himself cause just about every time he posts.

Could be - it's the latest thing in computer technology and hasn't caught the Buzz yet. All of the ISPs have installed it.

It works kind of like a lie detector that reads the nuances of finger pressure when someone types on a keyboard.. When a conservative poster sets up an account, the IP address shows up in italics, with the characters leaning to the right. Liberals get type that leans to the left. The inventor claims a success rate of 98.6% in identifying conservatives and liberals, even when they claim to have no political loyalty whatever, and the software even works retroactively on old accounts and determines the orientation of the owner of the address. Some folks have been realy surprised to find out that even though they own guns, their IP address is clearly composed of left-leaning characters, and many have been appalled to note that their's lean right even when they drive Volvos.

Today's technology is amazing.
