It is time to unleash hell on the National Republican party establishment. We need to "blacklist" any Republican who speaks out against Governor Palin is an unfair way. We can put their name on a "wall of shame". and actively seek to defeat them in GOP primaries or undermine them in any way possible.
It is time to get nasty. These are the kind of tactics that got President Obama the nomination and ultimately the Presidency in 2008. It it time we take notes and play the same game.
And we need to play their game in a general election. We need to dig up trash on the Democrats and go after them as they have us.
We have so many resources at our finger tips. It is time to use them in a more effective way.
starting with John McCain
( McShame ? )
McCain, Gingrich, Specter
a few off the top of my head.
And who gets to decide what’s unfair?
Not for just those who are anti-Palin, but those who have cooperated with the enemy.
Elephants have long memories, we should too.
I am an American first, Texan 2nd, and Vote Republican.
Way too passive.
We need to vigorously pummel (figuratively speaking of course) any and every such RINO.

Blacklist? Great idea. Freedom of speech is so over-rated.
I think most of us know when a Palin hater is a Palin hater. Any comments about her family. Anyone who repeats the Main Stream Media talking points.
we know it when we see it.
...and his vile offspring Megan “Chubby” McCain!
(1) What's your definition of "blacklisting?" So far, Palin's views on border security and limited government are not known, and she made some global warming comments that had conservatives' scratching their heads.
(2) Is Palin even running in 2012? You don't know if she is or not, so hold your fire until she does.
(3) Sorry, but RINOs have 1st Amendment rights too. Last time I looked, Palin is a grown-up who can more than handle her own. I'm sure she can handle the GOP establishment. She's been down this road before.
I say this as a Palin supporter, but by all means I'm not in favor of treating her with kid gloves or giving her a pass on issues that conservatives hold dear.
We do. :o)
Of course you can start working against those who turn on your favorite or line of thought.
by “blacklist”
I mean within the Republican party. they can say and do whatever they want. but we will not support them, we will not vote for them, and we will work to defeat them.
You entirely miss the point. Freedom of Speech is fine. The Republicans who attack Palin have every right to do so.
But her supporters have the right to attack them for helping the liberal establishment and work for their electoral defeat.
Me.
“And who gets to decide what’s unfair?”
Well, me of course.
Reading this thread causes me to wonder if the Republican Party will ever be unified again in my lifetime.
Me too.
So does it include those who oppose her in a presidential primary race IF she runs?
To add two “conservative” commentators we should boycott and dismiss: Peggy Noonan and Debbie Schlussel.
Schlussel is pretty popular among Conservatives, but she turned on the Palins like a liberal, calling them “pretentious stupid white trash” and worse.
