Freeps take victory laps RE: "Progressive" Matthew Rothschild's warning to watch out for Palin

[Amerigo Vespucci]

The actual Freeper comments aren't worth posting...they are all endless variations on "Beware Rand Paul and Sarah Palin (Finally their fear shows it's real face)"...which is the thread title on F.R. for anyone desiring to go over there and find it.

...but fuck that be afraid of Palin bullshit. I want to understand the beast so that it can be defeated, but I will not fear that fucking screeching assclown for any reason.

Beware Rand Paul and Sarah Palin
By Matthew Rothschild, May 20, 2010

I’m worried about Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, and the tea party movement.

Rand Paul was correct in his victory speech: His victory was a victory for that movement, and it’s not going away.

It’s also larger than a lot of progressives want to believe.

And those progressives who cheer the takeover of the Republican Party by the tea partiers, seeing in it a recipe for electoral victory for Democrats in 2012, may be making a tragic error.

Rand Paul wasn’t the only tea party candidate who won on Thursday. Sarah Palin was also victorious. She endorsed Rand Paul early, and shrewdly invested in the race.

After Paul’s victory, it’s more likely than ever that Sarah Palin will be the nominee in 2012. And then anything can happen. Including her winning the White House.

Especially after the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United, which will let corporate America pour billions into the election.

Rand Paul foreshadowed one ad that these corporate dollars are likely to buy: an ad that claims Obama is betraying America. “We now have,” Paul said, “a President who apologizes for America’s greatness.”

Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and Palin herself have uttered similar slurs against Obama.

This tag, more than health care, more than the deficit, may be what ultimately costs Obama.

So don’t take comfort in the craziness of Rand Paul, or the zaniness of Sarah Palin.

Watch out for them.

1. I'm sure congressman Tim Burns (R-PA) agrees

Oh wait a minute, oops...

4. Burns will be sitting next to Doug Hoffman (TB- NY23)

2. business and wall street would never back Palin. never.

They know how dangerous someone like that can be to their own interests.

And Rand is self-destructing as we speak

3. You have a consistency in your posts

But fearing what you call 'assclowns' is not what a person ever has to fear, some might want to think on their own actions that they do, that create their own path with rules applied back.

Although I do not think of the right wing in the same way as you, and actually I notice many posts you make in contradiction to my posts. I do not agree with the right on many topics, but I also know the media and left have many faults also, as do I, and it is better to try to learn what is best. And it is not about right and left.

As far as what you want to know, I might advise the comment, knowing the whiles and ways, to avoid the traps and snares. I avoid them, but with much help, not my doing. Posted on the multiple meanings of know, know how they try to create despair and do not be part of them, but do not know them with respect, do not let them in your life, and I would suggest doing that without anger.

I also would not imply what you do about people, that would be a judgement that could easily be incorrect, although everyone is flawed, the people attached to what you mention are in many places, in my view, but not an accusation to make lightly.
