And when the thread turns out to have nothing to do with reality, they drift back, just waiting for the next morsel. "Palin apologized!!" And the feeding frenzy starts anew.

Like I said...pathetic.
Substitute "Obama" or some other dem for "Palin", and you have the RWs MO on this forum.

OMG, Obama works in shirt-sleeves!
OMG, Obama went on a date with his wife, and like every other president before him, had secret service protection during the date!
OMG, Obama did this!
OMG, Obama did that!
OMG, Obama ....
OMG, Obama ....

You guys taught us well.

Have you noticed that to? I'd say we should have open season on sadistic a-holes that have no regard for anything but their own pathetic selves.

Umm...aren't you the one who suggested that people should make spitballs of Palin's book and spit them at her? Explain to us how that shows respect and/or regard for another.

Bbbwaahhhhh. I expected much more....scintillating..retort from the intellectual elite. Ya know, the fact that Sarah Palin just BUGS so many on the left end extreme makes me like her all the more. "Frau Palin". Yea, whatever. Moronic is some far flung left wing nut, trying to act as if they know squat about how things really are out here. Another poster made a statement about respect for nature and the animals that those of us who hunt take to the field after. Well, to clarify, I don't have to like predators to respect them. And respect them I do, nevertheless, I feel no misty emotion when I put a bullet behind their shoulder. Anyone who has seen what predators are capable of, and deals with them on a regular basis, will tell you the same thing. Whether it be wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, or feral dogs.This is not a Disney flick out here, to many people do not have enough of a grasp on the reality of that before they shoot off their mouths about 'cruelty', 'empathy' and a host of other fuzzy terms.

I stand by my statement. What's the matter...have no sense of humour or tongue in cheek sarcasm? Palin is a self-serving liar and a fraud. Okay, how about aerial spitball spitting?

As both Kevin K. and Dave Weigel noted earlier today, Sarah Palin angered and disappointed fans in Noblesville, Indiana yesterday when she abruptly left a book signing promotion even though there were many fans still waiting in line to receive her signature on their newly purchased copies of Going Rogue.
Borders handed out one thousand wrist bands along with a list of stipulations. Stipulation number nine stated that the wrist band was not a guarantee of a signature. Furthermore, Borders said they set aside three hours for the event based on past experience. That leaves 10.8 seconds per signature. I would say Borders cut the time a little short, but since it was their store where they ran the show, you'll have to take it up with Borders.

I expect her organization will do more of the planning for future events since retail store managers may not be up to the tasks in every case.

If she was only going to sign until a certain time, then that time should/would have been clearly posted and there would be no excuse for hard feelings on the part of her fans.

See stipulation number nine.

No one was gauranteed a signiture.

She is neither a liar nor fraud.

And, while it is a long shot, she might be the next President of the United States.

I think we should have open season idiots that don't know the difference between hunting and DNR animal control.

Maybe in your wildest wet dream. What a nauseating and ridiculous idea. Paris Hilton would have more of a chance of winning than Palin. She'd also be just as, if not more qualified.
