"I don't know about your lying about Palin, but on this thread you just implied that her supporters are "worshipers"."

Her supporters are supporters. Her worshipers are worshipers. I "implied" nothing. I stated a fact. A Palin supporter wants to see her run for POTUS. They want to see her get the GOP nomination and win. They will put forth effort (time, talent and money) to accomplish this. Should she not win the nomination they will give their support to the nominee so long as the nominee is a conservative (this leaves out Mitt).

A Palin worshiper believes she is ordained to be POTUS and nothing can stop it. They believe any criticism of Sarah Palin is "PDS". They will publicly state that if Sarah Palin is not the nominee they will not support any party nominee. They refuse to see that criticisms of themselves as Palin Worshipers has nothing to do with her but is purely a criticism of themselves as a group. I almost expect to hear them say among themselves, "We are the ones we have been waiting for."

My tag line was intended to refer to the cult of the glorified city councilman we have as President. I think we've hit the low comedy point quite early in the latest cult. She'll survive her adoring yo-yos.

The problem is, your argument could be used about any politician who has supporters. You could say that about Reagan or Bush, or Nixon (or Duncan Hunter) for that matter. All of them have had rabid supporters you could call "worshipers".

Using hyperbole (yes, you are using it) for some kind of debating point is not helpful.

It's very simple, if Palin decides to run she will have to convince a majority of voters she should be president. She will have to make her case well for over a year as she campaigns. If she makes it well, she has a good chance of winning the nomination and the general. If not, she won't win.

For you to punctuate a lot of your posts on her calling her supporters "worshipers" will only demean your owns status as a poster and does not help the debate at all.
