Dissing the Commander in Chief
As I listen to the MSM gleefully report on Palin's scurrilous commentary on President Obama's foreign policy experience, I wonder if that stupid woman knows she is talking traitorously about the Commander in Chief, her military son's leader? Remember when we were called on the carpet for any negative comment about Bush, during a time of war? Bush was never, never so dismissed in such ugly commentary as is our President. I am truly sickened by Palin, Gingrich, Cheney and that lot in New Orleans. They are ignorant flame throwers who are not concerned about the welfare of this country. Palin, in particular, is appalling: the woman will say anything for affect. I don't think she even knows what she is talking about, most of the time. She loves the camera, and she is willing to trash our President to earn her 15 minutes.

2. The problem is that the media is giving her views full coverage.
And she's got to be the most ignorant person in politics right now - and that's saying something considering the parade of ignorance that is the Republican Party these days. Then again, they give the kids of 'Jershy Shore' and the Tiger/Jesse skanks a lot of coverage. It makes you wonder about this country, or at least our 'informative' media.

3. I agree with you
The media loves her. Did you see the flap about Stephanopolous' citing her when talking to Obama? Steffie defended his use of her ignorance when interviewing the President! It was sickening.

6. She's the media's darling because people pay attention to her
Frankly- like Beck & Limbaugh- the woman's best ignored.

4. WEre they JUST in poor taste, I too would yell for it to end, but
they are so ugly, so over the top, so venemous, that by the time they are thru, noone will want to hear their bile. In fact, a stalwart Obama, attacked from all sides, and never took his eye off the ball, will rise. Not only did he have to fight conditions, he had to fight underhanded, treasonous, hateful smears. This guy will be the Jackie Robinson of presidents. And we will honor him.

5. Didn't Palin Say Obama Should Invade Iran To Get His Poll Numbers Up?
It must be great not being accountable for the idiotic things she says.

7. I agree that this is far worse
It is true that we (us anonymous posters) did say similar level things about Bush, But none of the 2004 or 2006 candidates were ever that rude. (Even though many here were hoping Kerry would morph into Michael Moore or call Bush a war criminal. Had he done so, the media would have gone ballistic - rather than the way they treat Palin. Not to mention, that would be acting at Palin's level.)

The fact is though, Palin is extremely unlikely to be the nominee - I suspect the media is using her to draw down Obama. Palin has been polled at less than 50% by Republicans as to whether she is qualified.

8. "Ignorant", my fat ass...
They know EXACTLY what they are doing when they throw those flames. It's the ignorant sheep in their party that they are stirring up. You are correct that Palin probably is clueless as to what she spews out of that nasty-ass, lipstick-caked mouth of hers. She parrots the talking points she is given. And, you are absolutely correct that none of them give a damn about this country, except in ways that they can pick our pockets. That includes the ignorant sheep they are riling up, but they're too clueless to recognize that these people are robbing them blind, along with the rest of us. It' ain't "her 15 minutes" that ol' Sarah is after. It's every fucking penny she can get her grubby hands on. And, the her adoring, moron fans willingly throw it at her. And, I don't give a shit that she's taking them for a ride. The same goes for Gingrich, the Cheneys, and the rest of them. Too bad they are sucking the rest of us down with them.

9. That stupid woman only knows how
to spew hate and venom with the corporatemediawhores backing her up. They have a common goal..to get rid of Democrats and pump up the Group Of Psychos.

Operation Brainwash America into voting those into power who got us into jeapordy in the first place along with corporate's help.

In real life and on a tv show..I've heard quite a bit of anti palin talk and it's most encouraging.
