Palin particularly popular among fans of Limbaugh and Beck
The Washington Post ^ | 11-30-09 | Dan Balz and Jon Cohen

Sarah Palin may or may not run for president in 2012, but she is already the overwhelming favorite in the Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck primaries.

In a new Washington Post poll, Palin beats other GOP leaders on two questions: who best represents the party's core values, and who Republicans would vote for if the presidential nomination battle were held today. But she has particular appeal to the loyal followers of Limbaugh and Beck, two of the most popular conservative talk show hosts in the country.

I would have thought her most popular amongst "The View" watchers.

There is no question about the neo-Marxist hate for Rush, Glen, and Sarah.
The hate oozes out their pores. It is like waving a cross at a vampire.
It means that they fear them.

I see it every day on the stupid Topix forums, which are full of the most radical leftist Communist in the country.

Notice that Pain leads with the GOP leaning-independents...Hmmm, I thought that any kind of indies wouldn’t dare vote for her

And in a related story buried on page 76, “Obama particularly popular among fans of Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz”.

Well, we are all mouth breathing droolers and booger eating morons who are easily lead. We are also easily distracted by shiny objects. No independent thought processes here on F.R. Nope, not a one! (sarc. off).

This is an obvious alert. Of course Palin is popular among the two conservative hosts. She is conservative and they are so people who are conservative will most likely vote for her. What the heck????

Well in all honesty the hate oozes our of our pores for Obama, Michelle Obama and the Kennedy’s. So far is far in politics.

The Republicans that watch Beck, Limbaugh are more politically engaged then those that don’t.

The others will start supporting Palin when they take more interest - at the moment some are just “phoning it in”, eg, voting for McCain? No opinion?

DUH.

Of course Governor Palin is popular among conservatives--she represents everything opposite what President Obama, aka The Zero, stands for.

“Well in all honesty the hate oozes our of our pores for Obama, Michelle Obama and the Kennedy’s. So far is far in politics.”

Yes, you have a point.
My hate, however, is for Marxist/Communist, in general.
The Obots represent the evil empire. They hate America and are out to destroy the country, and it is quite obvious.

The same could NEVER be said about Rush, Glen, Sara, or even the low life Kennedys, for that matter.

OT: A fan just posted on Palins Facebook that Palin set a record for the most searched person on the internet, topping Obama, in the Guiness Book of World Records for 2010.

If true, presumably that covers a period before 2010!

If the Washington Post gets any smaller you will have to close one eye to read it.

Professional: adj. Engaging in a given activity as a source of livelihood or as a career

Note: Just because you get paid to do it, that doesn't make it a noble cause.

They don't call 'em presstitutes for nothing, you know.
