Sarah Palin is a carnival barker.
She really reminds of of the late televangelist, Tammy Faye Bakker. She is raking in millions telling stupid rednecks what they want to hear. If you hear one of her speeches, she is a classic case of using a lot of words and really saying nothing. If you ever get a chance to see one of Hitler's speeches in sub titles, you will hear the same thing. It is not what they say that turns these people on, it is how they say it. Palin had these idiots at hello.

On my last job I worked with a Security guard. he was a nice guy but really uneducated. He said to me back in 2008, "The one I really like is Sarah Palin. She talks about it in a way I can understand." This is exactly why they have carnival barkers.

In addition to this, people like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Savage, act much like televangelists. They lead their followers around by the nose. They get them to buy up their cheap merchandise, their books, etc, like chickens with their heads cut off.

I am positive that the likes of Limbaugh laugh at these people behind closed doors. Imagine, Rush Limbaugh broadcasts his show behind the iron gates of his 13,000 square foot mansion in Palm Beach, protected by armed security, making millions believe he is the epitome of the common man! After he gets off the air, he hops in his Rolls to play golf at the most exclusive country club in Florida.

What is wrong with this picture?

1. I have her formula down.
She has someone read a few papers and stuff online for her. And LTE.

Whatever pisses off Middle America, that's her issue.

She has others compose her Twitter and Facebook moral outrage comments, and yet others to make a simple speech for her using the same fodder.

That way she appears popular, speaking to "the People" about what's got them upset.

She reminds me of Peter Popoff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Popoff -- see "Randi Controversy"), who used hidden microphones in the audience to target individuals he would "know" needed faith healing.
