What's with the hatred of Michele Bachmann at Free Republic?

What's with the hatred of Michele Bachmann at Free Republic lately?

I've seen some psychotic paranoid drivel about her secretly working for Mitt Romney, but apparently there's more to it than that.

Please help me out here, folks.

I haven’t picked a candidate yet.

To endorse, no, not in public.

But to attack, yes.

Cheers!

Sure, promote the good. I totally agree. But if you think that private emails that never get read help, I’m sorry, they do not.

Public pressure is the only way to steer a pol. Rep or dem.

but there is something about every single one of the Republican candidates and non-candidates that we can find to like. Find it and promote it.

Not Romney. Not a thing.

You fools are worse than the libs. Maybe you are libs. The Bridge to Nowhere? Even children know what that’s about. Here’s a tip for you. Go read her e-mails like the rest of your buddies did. YOU might actually learn something about Sarah. Here’s another tip, The Bridge To Nowhere story is in there in all it’s glory. You won’t believe what she wanted to do about it. It’s a scandal I tell ya.

In all seriousness a person who wants to be POTUS has to have a thick skin.

Rush Limbaugh disagrees vehemently with your opinion about the thickness of Sarah Palin's skin.

... the thing about Sarah Palin to me is that she has now learned to relish and to profit from all of the attention, be it negative or positive, and she certainly knows negative attention. She has suffered slings and arrows, she's got the media anal exam unlike any other Republican candidate. And I've never met her, it appears to me her skin is very thick, and I think that she now has come to grips with the fact that that's part and parcel of the process, and I think that one of the things she enjoys is just rubbing it right back in their face. She knows that they are trying to intimidate her into silence, not running perhaps, being quiet or shutting up. Here comes the bus tour. I think she's mastering the things that she's going to have to master if she indeed decides at some point to run.

So what’s the deal with Ed Rollins? Why was it poor judgement to select him. < /professing ignorance>

I am at a loss as to what they could possibly do that they haven’t already tried. They did a lot of chewing already but can’t seem to do anything but make her more popular. No doubt they will try and soon we will see stories about MSMlibs headed to Alaska to dumpster dive and analyze the stool in Trig’s diapers for proper nutritional content and Todd’s Arctic Cat race sled for unsafe modifications. Boy won’t we be mad at her then!

They'll make something up. They've seen he quit once and that will increase the MSM bloodthirst. Don't get me wrong. I think she's done a lot for the Conservative cause. But this is too soon and I'm not all that sure she simply isn't enjoying riding a very profitable popularity wave at this point. If she runs I look for it to be either 2016 or 2020 depending on who wins next election.

If Sarah Palin gets slaughtered 35% to 65% in the general election,

If you think Obama would get 65% of the vote with 15% real unemployment, 15% real inflation, four wars and his own idiocy on display for three plus years in office, you need your head examined.

[Cobra64]

Huh?

[hellbender]

Yes, I’ve read Cain’s explanation I am regard him as completely sincere, but maybe tactically mistaken. Cain and Palin are the two people in the race who are citizen-candidates, rather than career politicians. My only concern is: can either of them win? Another 4 years of 0bama is not an option.

[ansel12]

By the way, if you want anyone to take you seriously, then you can't pretend to not have noticed that Palin is the toughest politician in standing up to the media that we have ever seen.

Under the worst media onslaught that we have ever seen, Palin survives, and even thrives.

Rush Limbaugh disagrees vehemently with your opinion about the thickness of Sarah Palin's skin.

Rush is simply another high profile personality riding the huge profits wave. I do not rely on him for my political guidance or views. In short I stopped listening over a decade ago because of lack of any real substance. I don't care who he plays golf with either.
