It's what she does; she was just as snarky when she was mayor of Wasilla. She's found that it works well for the demographic she's reaching out to (and into the pocketbooks of)...every time she makes this sort of display, her PAC gets quite a jump in donations.

So your saying WTF the way the left uses it is OK but if the right says the president had many WTF moments its an attack. See here is the problem. had Peolosi said it the left would be applauding If palin Says it she is attacked.

its just hypocrisy

Find me a link to a person on the left saying WTF when critiquing a major speech given by someone on the right and then we can talk. Without it, you're just making stuff up.

Glad to hear your brainwashing sessions can now come to a close, and I agree with the dumbing down part as evidence by the childish factor of your post.

As far as differing views being accepted, it depends on how different those views are.

If your views, if and when implement, destroy the country, its economy, or the liberty and self-government of the American people it is acknowlege, but rejected. As far as not right or not wrong, this is the non-judgementalism of the left. Don't call me wrong, just call me different, even though your ARE wrong. Different choices are "pantsuite vs skirt", wrong choices are "kill the pre-born child vs not murder the pre-born child".

The left is real good at hiding behind the "don't judge me" card when it comes to their stupid ideas, but can't wait to condemn and destroy all that is good and productive.

Such cowardice, such immature cowardice.

It is about the money. Palin, Beck, Limberger, Hannuty, O'RidetheTide and Bachmann(not sure if it's money or desperate need for relevance). But the effect of them is bringing the GOP down so low, they may never recover. To my mind, that is a bad thing. The Country needs Conservative and Liberal influences, both in moderation. We are losing the Conservative side of that equation. The extremity of where the GOP is going, hurts us all.

Some of you who persist in your blaring about the "left" are failing to understand that there is a significant number of people in your own party who does not feel that the ex gov. is reflective of their views...and actually consider her to be an embarrassment to Republican principles.

Really now...go read her facebook page for a good laugh. Most of the comments from her followers read like exersises in remedial middle school grammar.

But their money keeps flowing in

I'd like to understand how someone who puts herself out there as a leader within her party would respond to a very pro-business plan for private sector job creation with "WTF."

I'd take her seriously if she had 10 seconds worth of ability to give a coherent response on how to move us forward in job creation--even if she disgrees with what was proposed--or had the ability to contribute to a national debate on the issue. Instead she responds with "WTF."

Are you serious?
