It appears to me that the problem the leftists are having with Palin is,she got the right wing energised and involved more.

So basically this isn't about how she did it but that she did it at all.

Leftists only win when the people are apathetic and uninvolved.

This sick shooter did not need Palin to do what he did, but Palin has shown extreme insensitivity since she appeared on the political scene. Her rallies during the Presidential campaign were directed towards getting people riled up and angry. She displayed zero awareness in the fact that words can have consequences. In fact, when her kid put up that "gay" thing on her Facebook page, I was stunned that Mama Grizzly Palin did not apologize on behalf of her kid since it was in the wake of a gay college student committing suicide.

She has no empathy and never accepts responsibility for anything, but when someone, heaven forbid, uses words against her, she has a tantrum and holds her breath like a four year old spoiled brat. Since no one that is close to her has stuffed a sock in her pie hole yet, her Karma is doing it for them.
You hit the nail on the head with Palin. Kudos!!!!

Those people writing "death threats" to Sarah Palin are wrong and most be missing a few screws.

I personally don't like her but I would never wish anyone dead. I think she was incredibly stupid for writing the "don't retreat... and having the map up there.

I am Tina King. I want to apologize for what was apparently an ill fated attempt at satire. I posted a comment that was meant to been seen as a brutal commentary on the violent rhetoric that has become a staple of the political discourse is this country.

icannotshant comments on Palin's Facebook page moderators work overtime removing comments critical of her, but leave one celebrating the murder of a nine year old alone
no matter, whoomie will find some other drivel to shriek about.

Understanding Palin to be a political ***** who dumbs down every political debate she taints with her presence, who appeals to the lowest, basest common intellectual denominator in the country, who promotes partisanship and bloviating rhetoric to the mindless lemmings that think she's worth paying any serious attention to, doesn't make one a Leftist.

She's energizing RWNJ's alright. Outside of that, what is she good for?

Well to those on the left,nothing....the idea of an energised and involved RIGHT wing scares the crap out of them as they know their ideology is a failure.

But she isn't.

She's appealing to the fake conservative authoritarian right wing loonies, and the angry ignorant.

The kind of Right she is energizing should scare every sane person, because her stuff appeals to unthinking idealogues, whose extreme ideology isn't just a failure, but a disastrous attitude about government and how to run a country.

I don't dislike her because she's (supposedly) conservative, I dislike her because she's stupid, has stupid ideas, and appeals to stupid people.
