SARAH PALIN and Al Sharpton dont ordinarily have much in common, but they achieved a rare harmonic convergence at Michael Jacksons memorial service. When Sharpton told the singers children it was their daddys adversaries, not their daddy, who were strange, he was channeling the pugnacious argument the Alaska governor had made the week before. There was nothing strange about her decision to quit in midterm, Palin told America. Whats strange or insane, in her lingo are the critics who dare question her erratic behavior on the national stage.

Its voice can be found in the postings at a Web site maintained by the fans of Mark Levin, the Obama hater who is, at this writing, the No.2 best-selling hardcover nonfiction writer in America.

Frankly,
she never owned the GOP. She never controlled the GOP.
It was broken by the RINO’s and the Democrat humpleg media.
Whether it is Obama bots or Rudy bots or Mitt bots, the approach is the same - dismiss valid criticism as the work of 'haters' - as you in turn spew pure valid garbage at someone like Palin.
The left is sooooo worried about her and what she stands for, given what a bad dream Obama has “turned out to be” -— as if we did not know what he wanted to do to America and its people.

FRANK RICH! Here you need to visit here.

Palin and Mark Levin Derangement Syndrome.
Frank needs to get a life.
Seriously...what a dope...that was a stretch to say the very least..
SHE broke it? No, put that squarely on John McCain, Steve Schmidt, Karl Rove, George W. Bush and all the other RINOs.
George Washington was just a Britain-hater. Socrates an unreason-hater. And Jesus an evil-hater.
My one question to Rich: why you gotta hate a hater, shorty?
erratic behavior
What a load of crap. Joe Biden is erratic. This is like your town being bombed in a war and your response called erratic.
“Hi! I’m Frank Rich, and I’m TOTALLY NORMAL! Pinch told me so, himself!”
Spot on.
All with the help of the State Run Media.
Pure propaganda and astonishing character assassination of a wonderful woman.
Rich is not fit to clean the Palin family toilet.
All these ad hominem attacks on Palin are a futility, and only expose the many biases of the authors.
Palin is a certain winnowing fork,
separating the wheat and chaff.
No one has the choice of remaining neutral.
No More!
So... the point of this article is that Sarah Palin is kind of like Michael Jackson?
Frank Rich is the Posterboy of Projection.

This old leftist hater is far too stale and predictable, and not worth the time it’d take to read his blather and nonsense.
Is there anything the Left won't ascribe to her?
You forgot the barf alert.
The bastard virtually called Palin and anyone who supports her a racist.
That's Rich.
That's the New York Times.
There was another thread on this over the weekend.
I checked, do you have a link?
valid = vapid?
She may own it, but she didn’t break it.
I think Mr. Rich lives in a bubble inside of a bubble that inside another bubble with his head stuck up his arse.
It's pure rubbish, as usual, but demonstrates the very real fear leftist apologists like Frank Rich hold for average, middle class Americans who are catching on to the Marxist nanny-state Obama plans for the nation he purports to 'lead'. That is, when he isn't criticizing his nation in some foreign country. Rich, like other leftist scribblers, pretends to 'explain' Sarah Palin's popularity in a context that characterizes it as somehow racist and, well, just wrong. 'Angry' conservatives and all that nonsense.
In fact, many Americans, including some former Obama worshipers, are becoming angry - for good reason - as they see their hopes for the future being systematically destroyed by the Obama administration as it dismantles our financial system, takes over much of the U.S. auto industry and seeks to impose severe restrictions on how we live (and what we buy) with 'Cap and Trade' and the dangerous health care 'reform' that would make us all wards of the state when we needed medical attention. We would all be vulnerable to being refused medical care because we were too old, too fat or whatever criteria the federal bureaucrats decided to impose on Americans. For 'the greater good', of course. Spare me, Barack.
No, Frank Rich really has no idea why Sarah Palin is popular - and it must frustrate him to no end. I can sympathize, to a point. I never saw the appeal Bill Clinton seemed to have for a majority of Americans. The big nose, the fake hick accent and the biggest tax increase in U.S. history, made retroactive, no less. Even when Clinton was shown to be a serial groper of any women who he was near and a proven adulterer, his approval numbers stayed relatively high. It was frustrating then, for conservatives. Sarah Palin's sustained popularity, even as she is relentlessly attacked by the left, via newspapers, magazines, the internet, TV and probably carrier pigeon, worries leftists like Frank Rich. He makes that clear in his column.
I'm old enough to remember the leftist media constantly attacking Ronald Reagan, as a candidate and, especially, as president. He was inevitably characterized as old, senile and stupid. It never stopped. Yet Reagan was easily re-elected in '84 and remained very popular with the American people. This drove the left batty. I loved it. Its nice to see Sarah Palin having the same effect, today.
Hey, that's my title, Frank Rich!
But wait a minute! If she broke the GOP, should Rich & company be happy?
George W. Bush was a RINO? Really?
Eeewww... that’s creepy! (Great PhotoShopping, though!)
Palin’s fault is the new Bush’s fault?
Never really understood how compassionate conservatism differed from liberal theories. He was a new england transplant...but it’s kind off a stretch to say he was a RINO. He was president for 8 years!
Who broke it? Seems to me that John McLame and Lindsay Grahamnesty are the ones who broke the GOP
The Left’s incessant attacks against Sara Palin demonstrate their phobia that she will someday run for President and succeed. I interpret their visceral fear as a good indication that Sara is their antithesis. If the devil isn’t chasing you, it means he already owns you.
Looking back though, he really strayed from Reagan conservative principals. You may be correct that he was a republican. It’s the republicans that strayed from conservatism.
ABSOLUTELY and I hope they never stop as it is having the exact opposite of the effect the authors intend!
I’m far from being a big Sarahlian, but Frank Rich is a Flaming Bundle of Sticks who wishes he looked as good in high heels.
Yes, his spending was nearly as bad as most Democrats. His immigration policy was that of Ted Kennedy. His strength was defense, his weaknesses were fiscal policy and immigration policy.
You have a crush on Rich now too?
