I am thinking more like 200%!

I am so totally okay with that. ;)

ACE HAS HIS SAY! WHACK.

Not for the high-minded PDSers here.

ACE HAS HIS SAY! WHACK.

While I am for real, no foolin' grateful for Ace's able assistance, here...

... well... let's just say he's suffered from his own recurring bouts of PDS in the past, and perhaps leave it at that. ;)

Her comments were off the cuff but on target but should not been posted on twitter.
But your a Palin hater and look for any opportunity to trash her.
Its no coincidence that this HIT PIECE appeared today which lines up nicely with the release of Palin Hater book.
This hit piece looks like more Mittens astroturf and smears. Yawn.

[onyx]

Please go vote for her in his poll here, anyway.

[kevkrom]

but should not been posted on twitter

Yeah, about that... these were more like emails, sent through Twitter. None of this was on the public Twitter feed. It's like FReepmail vs. postings on the forums -- one's private communication, the other is public.

While anything you write on the internet can indeed come back to bite you, I got to agree with Ace (linked above) that it takes a total douchebag to publish private messages unless there is a legitimate newsworthy reason to do so. (And even then, you're probably still a douchebag for doing it, but with some form of justification.)

There's nothing newsworthy in all of this, especially since we're only seeing one side of the conversation, which makes some of the context questionable. It's also not timely, as the messages they're discussing were from a year ago. Why leak them now?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Oh, you know I already did. ;)

By the way, I am not trying to drive you off.
Its a free country and if you dislike Palin so be it.
Most of the anti Palin posts here are hit and run stuff and have no true reason behind their dislike for her.
I could bore the hell out of everyone with my list of reasons why Mittens is a disaster.

Tucker Carlson gave the go ahead to publish, so he’s the responsible party. Mansour betrayed Sarah’s trust and that’s the crying shame. No wonder she is so very hesitant to trust anyone outside her family. This was all completely unnecessary and never should have happened.

[ncalburt]

It was very stupid for any Palin staffer to be posting anything negative in writing period.
Mitten Internet army and PR people have shown to be a dirty nasty lot. Sadly, Mitten's is just like McCain which means they will only destroy Conservatives.
This smear piece at the Daily Caller warns everyone which side of the fenced the Daily Caller website sits and its the no question the DC GOP Elites side.

[kevkrom]

It was very stupid for any Palin staffer to be posting anything negative in writing period.

Oh, absolutely.

But frankly, there's nothing particularly damning in these messages, and this whole thing is a tempest in a teapot. Mansour will hopefully have learned her lesson (for her own sake, as well as for any ongoing working relationship with Palin) and no real harm was done.

[ncalburt]

No surprise .
Tucker is a epitome of the out of touch GOP Beltway elite and more than likely a Mittens fan.
I agree that Palin staffers should be well aware of dangers that posting or twittering can bring.

I’m not suprised by RAM. I think it was in ‘09 she wrote a post over at C4P and gave her thoughts on Bristol. Let’s just say RAM got an earfull in the comment section.

“Mansour betrayed Sarah’s trust and that’s the crying shame.”

Onyx you are so right with the above observation.

I read Red State...it has some good information. As for Eric Erickson, the man is a self-aggrandizer totally into the he said, she said, “I’m” dong this, “I’m dong that” game. And then he came out with some scathing remarks ‘to’ the so-called ‘birthers’. When I wrote a little ditty response, saying thanks for your disrespect and you are but ‘one’ person’s opinion when there are several ‘million’ asking the big question...well I got banned from even reading the site.

I wrote him a note and said screw you, I can read on the many other sites better information than listening to your ‘he said’/’she said’ krap. He lifted the ban. I seldom read his krap anymore. I find Moe Lane amusing, but with more substance and better thinking skills.

As for this Sarah Palin/Daily Caller tittle tattle, RAM has opinions...so what? It’s not a requirement that a person can’t express an opinon to whomever they please. Sounds to me like most of hers are spot on.

And I agree, that you’re nasty remarks about her appearance were just that, nasty remarks. So you have a dislike of her appearance. I suspect you’re no Magnum PI yourself.

On second thought our thoughts on Free Republic could come back to haunt us also, Anonymity of an alias could easily be broken.

Anybody recall the antics of MD4Bush? Part of that whole mess was using FReepmail to generate then collect "dirt" on a FR member (NCPAC).

[ncalburt]

Agreed.
The Daily Caller DC elites are intentionally piling the same day of another Palin hate book .

[erod]

Red State had its own purge some months ago, or several.
Some of the more interesting posters who left were Achance and Vassar Bushmills.

I lurk at Red State but only post once every few months, so I don’t know all the details.

But I have noted RedState has removed “birthers” and “Paulbots” and doesn’t seem too fond of Sarah Palin enthusiasts.

That’s one of the main reasons why I left as well. I have suspicions about the Obama birth certificate and I support Palin. Both seem to be frowned upon
at Red State.

Your mileage may vary.

“Is she young and part of the whole “twitter-I-am-in-Starbucks-restroom-taking-a-number-2” generation?”

Marvelous description of this generation. I will have to remember this. On another note, I am not a big fan of Palin, but I must say this stuff, along with her top aide’s book, is pretty damn weak.
