So who wants to inform a few uninformed freepers about how bad Palin is?
There is this ongoing debate about Palin on this Miami Herald blog and it's just mind-boggling to see how many people support her.

Just in case anybody wants to jump in.

2. I just talked to my Mom, a conservative that hates fundies..
and she loves Palin. I quizzed her, and she knows NOTHING about who she really is.

I feel like throwing up.

3. read the
lakoff thread

no one can convince someone of a different political viewpoint through an online blog post

people have to be convinced by others of the same political persuasion


they have to be persuaded by larger scale imagery, symbolism, emotionality

not by reason, logic, truth

we're going about it the wrong way

4. They're too stupid.
It would be like trying to explain quantum physics to a mentally handicapped person.
