Just heard the wisest statement on C-Span by a caller - "Sara Palin: if you want her to go away

[housewolf]

STOP TALKING ABOUT HER"

from one of Rep Gifford's constituents in Tucson.

Not directed to Sara Palin, but about her - meaning, "if you want Sara Palin to go away, stop talking about her"

Bravo! Bravo!

1. Did they identify their political affiliation by chance?

[housewolf]

3. Probably, but I wasn't paying close enough attention

CSpan usually lists whether folks call in on the Dem line or the Repub line or the Independent's line. I have it on while doing other stuff, so wasn't paying attention to the screen at that point. Whatever she is, she was quite upset - as was a Repub who called in who's felt that there's been a target on her back - unjustly identifying her as a racist and a hater just for being a registered Repub, when in reality her family is composed of many different races/ethnicities, and she took the day off for Obama's inauguration to watch because she whas so proud of the election of our nation's first African-American, even though she didn't vote for him.

2. And yet you're starting this thread

:P

[geckosfeet]

7. I know - - the irony is overwhelming.

4. She's now a murderer. I have no plans to stop talking about that.

[Drale]

5. when you stop talking about a terrorist

People will begin to forget how truly dangerous she is.

[malaise]

6. Ditto

This must be the end of the Grifter's career.
John McCain dragged this moron into politics and her rantings led to this in his homestate. Thanks Gramps.

8. exactly

I'll take every opportunity to point out that gop piece of filth until the 2012 election.

9. The Fucking PROBLEM is that not EVERYONE wants her to go away

So if the majority voices that calls her an illiterate, fascist, responsibility-dropping, empty skirted, bobble head stop talking, then the minority voices that adhere to her cult and who think she's fit to be President of the whole god-damned country will continue spewing their idiocy unopposed.

People like Palin don't go away, you have to chase them off.

[TwilightGardener]

10. I used to believe that, but we don't control what's on cable 24/7.

It's not positive, genuine public interest that keeps her in our faces 2 years later. She's a media-created star, and when one venue to sell her stops working, they'll find another.

[affrayer]

11. I disagree

"STOP TALKING ABOUT HER"

I heard it too but let me remind you of something. History shows that if you want to stop the shooting, you have to shoot back.

If you want to stop fear mongers like Palin, you have to expose her to the light of day. If you let her work in the dark, her evil will just spread...which is exactly what has happened.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Nope. But I have changed her name. She's now Sarah the Shootist.

[demwing]

13. "The Killa from Wasilla"

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. That works too!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

15. Yeah, don't talk about that dead stinking albatross around the neck of the Republican Party.

Make it go away?

[Kurovski]

16. She'd still be instructing her followers in how to carry on.

We just wouldn't know about it. I don't agree that ignorance is bliss.
