Sarah Palin Wows Redding Audience
anewscafe.com ^ | Feb. 8, 2009 | Doni Greenberg

Sarah Palin received a rock star’s welcome at the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference where she spoke before the first of two sold-out shows at the Redding Convention Center this afternoon.

That’s 4,000 people who paid between $54 for a balcony seat to $74 for a floor seat. I had a floor seat - second row, so near the tower of speakers that I followed the example of people around me and wadded tissue in my right ear to reduce the volume.

Even so, I heard every word and felt the crowd’s jostling adoration as they cheered and applauded throughout Palin’s speech.

[...]

She endeared herself to the logging conference crowd by holding her hand up to show what was written on the palm of her hand: “Loggers rock!” - an apparent dig at “lame-stream media” who recently ridiculed her for writing memory prompts on her hand. And toward the end of her talk she complimented logging industry folks when she referred to an administration that talks about green jobs.

“You guys were doing green jobs before green jobs were even cool!”

And although Palin tailored some of her speech especially for the logging industry, her message also had the ring of someone running for office as she recounted a lifetime of accomplishments, from city council and mayor to governor and vice presidential candidate.

Libs are going to be SICK of being shown up for the disgusting prejudiced hate-filled racists that they are by this simple trick.

They couldn’t understand how “Joe the plumber” resonated either.

“Logger’s Rock!”

She has just beaten the lamestreamers at their own game.

These palm messages will be her trademark.

Run, Sarah, run!

Reminds me of Ronald Reagan. Good humored, spontaneous, genuine, serious, charming, inspiring, outgoing, surrounded by crowds of people a lot like me.

America is blessed this sort of person comes along every generation or so.

“These palm messages will be her trademark.”

Totally. And the message can change with current events. Kind of reminda me of that Chicago Bears QB in the 80’s with his headband, MacMahon.

Sarah Comes back to her roots and a full house audience in Redding Ca. Rush made 2 appearances to the Redwood Logging conference in Eureka in his early years when he was doing his Chain-Saw Updates...

Sarah’s having a great time and she is HAPPY..Look at that smile. Liberals lead miserable lives which is why they hate on her, because she is happy and they are miserable. Sarah is using the IPalm to her advantage. LOGGERS RULE!!
