Thread: In defense of Sarah Palin

Just listening to her rally in Greenville NC, the rallies remind me of the Hitler rallies, not saying that she is Hitler (nor anything like that), but the crowd is worked up in such a fervor, I can't say that I've seen any politically rally in recent times like these. They respond to her half truths and lies like a pack of hungry lions, if the let Obama in there I'd swear that they would tear him limb from limb. The real problem is she's preaching to the choir, and I don't think it plays well with undecided moderates and independents, which they need to win.

You must not have watched the DNC convention

Oh I did, it's nothing like the live rally that I'm still listening to, not even close. It makes, McCain and Obama rallies sound like high tea. You'd think she was running for President.

What, the DNC had shouts of "Kill him!!"? I must have missed that. That, and where they started shouting racial epithets at the TV crew's sound man.

As far as competing negative associations are concerned, it's not so much about that as it is about hypocracy. The Repugs have that market cornered. For them to try to build up a less-than-casual association Obama had with a '60s radical, decades after his radical activities, when Palin had numerous recent and profoundly disturbing ties herself shows not only an unprecedented level of hypocracy, but a cynicism about this country and a lack of judgement that frankly blow my mind.

hmm, I'll have to listen to this greenville rally, it must be quite a spectacle!

You guys are just slinging stuff against the wall in hopes that something sticks! Can we get back to more reasoned conversation?

Well, you are still to tell us your reasoning on the subject. Please show us how it's done.

You think the Republicans would support US musicians at the Sarah Palin Rally, no they play Tom Cochrane and Shania Twain. So much for supporting jobs in the US.

For accuracy's sake the "kill him" , "sit down, boy" and other racial slurs, were from a rally in Florida, Clearwater, I believe, they were not at the Greenville Rally.

You know you've gone overboard when Carl Rove says that you have, he's far from a moderate voice.
