I know this is only the latest in a long line of liberals trying to paint Republicans, such as Reagan and Bush as stupid, but it is irritating.

She has operated a company, taken on her own party and the oil companies, been a beauty queen and a mayor, she’s a sportswoman and she is the highest rated Governor in the United States!!

How many of her critics have a resume like that???

Star20,

I enjoyed reading your accurate, insightful comment.

Thanks!

What is a hostile crowd to a politician?

An opportunity

She is raising her kids the right way. Face the storm head on instead of hiding. You find out the sun still shines and you live to fight another day.

She won that encounter and her kids will not forget.

You’re evil and all cut from the same cloth.

Any more generalizations you want to make? Because when you’re done, you can start pulling all the ‘Barack Hussein Obama’, ‘Obama is an Arab’, ‘Obama is a terrorist’, ‘Obama is a Muslim’ etc that some elements of the right is bringing out so that I can peg those remarks on every single Republican.

Please find on my site any of that crap you listed. Well actually don’t waste your time, you won’t be able to.

Years of attending my kids’ athletic events taught me that, and I apply the lessons even to professional sport venues.

This isn’t a professional sport venue issue. Palin isn’t showing up there as a Ranger or Flyer fan.

Palin is the VP candidate on the Republican side. Palin is the one that says “Obama is paling around with terrorists”. When she shows up in the arena, she is there to score political points. Everyone has the right to react to that. If you were an Obama supporter and felt offended by some of her latest remark, would you feel the moral obligation to voice your disapproval? I would.

How? Could be booing, could be posters, could be by turning your back to her, could be by staying silent, …

Booing a political candidate isn’t liberal or thuggery. I’m sad to learn that you don’t believe in political dissent.

Did liberals decide that political dissent requires rude thuggery. Perhaps you missed the link to Michelle Malkins site. You guys are thugs. Cartoonist drawing pictures of Governor Palin getting her teeth knocked out. “Future Retarded Republicans” on baby onesies. Photoshopped pictures of Senator McCain with animals crapping on him. Just give it up man. You guys are the ones you complain about. You’re evil and all cut from the same cloth.

Maybe not exclusively liberal, but certainly thuggery. I’m one of those people who cheer for my team when it takes the field but I never ever “boo” the opposing team when it takes the field. They get either respectful clapping or (if I think they are unsportsmanlike) respectful silence.

Yes, yes. She showed good judgement because she like me and most other good conservatives refuse to back down from liberal thuggery. If it’s out there our kids need to see it and you guys for what you are. Now go back to your John Edwards shrine.

On this note, I yet don’t understand if you think Palin showed good judgement.

I doubt you will ever read this, but let me correct a few things you said.

First, the comment in my post related to Trig and Bristol was more in the context of people getting banned from discussing those on another website. I don’t think I directly posted about these two topics (at best I had a post about the Dr. André Lalonde story). Anyways, this was in reference to something else.

Second, I don’t plan to be a trial lawyer or an ambulance chaser. Also, what is a trial lawyer? The one that shows up at trial? You hate trial lawyers from both sides of every issue? You only like the government prosecutors? What about in civil disputes?

Third, I love that you try to pin on me stuff done by others (like the retarded republican reference), but I didn’t do any of that.

Fourth, most of your post is a personal attack. I don’t see myself as a troll, I try to be honest in my postings and reasoning, so it would be more productive if you didn’t spend 80% of your post insulting me.

Finally, I commented on this story and said she lacked judgment. I don’t think you have the monopoly of ideas, so it might be helpful to listen to other viewpoints once in a while.

On this note, I yet don’t understand if you think Palin showed good judgement.

It always looked like Thunder Dome to me.

Who was it that said, I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out?

For the love of God, please stop the hate. These people were booing and shouting; this is awful… I mean it’s not even a McCain/Palin rally!

Why so much hate, why??

sophiesmom on October 12, 2008 at 2:53 PM

That’s a good question. Many on this site have tried to figure out why liberals have gotten so damn mean. Michelle Malkin has a great montage up right now. And like she said, she didn’t even go into assaults on recruiters.

…I recall the movie “Cabaret” the episode in the roadside restaurant when the gorgeous blond start singing beautiful folks song?

sashal on October 12, 2008 at 8:56 AM

Yup, every time I hear the kids sing the praises of obama.

Nice try. A C for effort, an F for the attempted projection.

TwinkietheKid on October 12, 2008 at 10:04 AM

I’d mark him down on the effort given that Ed referenced that excact same scene right here on hotair about, what, 5 days ago?

Oh well, not everybody is in the Palin fan club… yet!

As for any hate towards Philly fans, don’t comment unless you understand us.

will it be worse then GOP complete f* up of the country, lisalj?

sashal on October 12, 2008 at 9:16 AM

MUCH worse, sashal. A completely inexperienced baby marxist President allied with an utterly corrupt and inept radical leftist House and Senate. The damage that will be done to this great Nation’s fundamental foundations will be staggering.

You may cheer that now. But you will not enjoy living through the inevitable repercussions.

No. I fully understand and believe in The Code, but fighting shouldn’t be all that you have. You should have some other skills, too. And when I talk about Philly fans, I’m talking about all of their sports teams’ fans. I was a teenager when I went to see the Skins play in Philly. I was nearly killed – over a football game. And I’m a size 4 girl dripping wet. The fans are out of hand.
