I think El Rushbo might be a bit miffed as Palin’s only course of action seems to be hording in on his right wing radio nutjobbery. But to do that, she’d have to move to the lower 48. In fact, I predict that before the end of the year the Palins will be moving out of Alaska
no, you said i was building up a down's strawman- i asked you to define what you meant. you haven't, so one can only assume you accusation had no basis, and was just a distraction from the important issues facing our bbs.
Basso - I think it is "look in the mirror" time again. Or maybe you somehow managed to skip over all the direct requests for you to back up your unsubstantiated allegation that the prime time media was all over this issue of FBI inquiries into Palin's misappropriation of prosumer quality building materials. Maybe you were referring to the front page debunking of the rumor by that bastion of liberal media, CNN? It is also possible that you just don't know your head from your ass and were just throwing out some regurgitated bull**** fed to you by your right wing blogs. Maybe this is a topic for another thread but it does make me wonder if a lie told out of ignorance is still a lie? Self-righteous ignorant lies told to reinforce a blind ideological dedication to a specific agenda, no matter how untrue or illogical, being my personal favorites.
The poor thing. We should just feel sorry for her. Now what is the excuse for her defenders like Basso, TJ and the libertarian guy, you know the guy who reported from the GOP Convention and is from around Orange or Beaumont (Help me out guys!)
I would donate a year's salary to charity to see her on Jeopardy. They could create a new show: Are you smarter than a former VP cadidate?
How about the SNL version of Jeopardy with Sean Connery, Burt Reynolds, and Palin? Trabek would actually blow his own head off at the sheer stupidity.

Ok - I'll tell you exactly what you were doing - you repeatedly made the idiotic accusation that criticism of Palin was grounded in hatred of Down's syndrome babies - a charge so stupid that it hurts me to even type it. Stupid because it is both ludicrous and nonexistent.
no, what i said was some posters, and critics elsewhere, were using her decision to bear her downs baby, and treat him just as one would treat a typical child, with such disdain that they used Trig as a cudgel to bash palin. you've done it, the despicable Batman has, and so have the reprehensible MoDo and Sully, among others.
this is a flat out lie, the only person who brings her decision to bear trig to a debate forum is basso. as if that is a reason to vote for her in the first place
1. No, I absolutely have not. I doubt the others have either. That's the definition of a strawman. 2. Please look at the thread that got locked - that is not what you said at all - you said she was resigning because meanie liberals" were making fun of a down's baby" You followed up with more posts accusing the same - this was not and has never been the case.
I would say new levels of pathetic lies and obfuscation, but there's nothing new at all. (sigh) Here's something quotable: I dislike Palin for three reasons. 1. All evidence points to someone who does not do her homework and inform herself on topics. The evidence of this is overwhelming and resonates with her own strange history as a college student. 2. While some like the manner of her delivery, the content and structure of her speeches and answers to questions remind me much more of a poor (and shallow, and sometimes shockingly snide) high-school composition than that of a statesperson I'd like leading a city, state or nation. 3. She has shown she will play to the most base (basso-est?) instincts of her supporters to gain political edge, to the point of having crowds yell violent intent at her political opponents. I am not threatened by or even concerned with her children or family at all. I don't believe her children should be used as political props by her supporters OR political weapons by her opponents. They are irrelevant.
