And you expected intelligent commentary?

The writing-off of Sarah Palin began not long after her departure from Fox News hit the newswaves last Friday. The Post’s Chris Cillizza wrote on Monday that Palin is now “officially gone,” at least from the national spotlight.
And MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell bid the failed 2008 vice presidential candidate a self-satisfied adieu, saying that Palin had now lost the “slightest connection to political relevance.”
Vincent Harris, a social-media consultant who helps Republican campaigns, wonders about O’Donnell’s conflict of interest in issuing those words: “He’s a … cable-news host! I mean, what else is he going to say? He’s speaking for cable news in some ways,” says Harris, arguing that the act of dissing Palin’s continued relevance is an old-media phenomenon.
Harris knows old media from new media. He managed social-media stuff for Newt Gingrich’s failed 2012 presidential run and drew plaudits for similar work on the campaign of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who secured an endorsement from Palin.
With Fox News or without Fox News, says Harris, “Gov. Palin is an Internet celebrity, she’s an Internet politician; and her supporters aren’t going anywhere.” Have a look at her Facebook page and her nearly 3.5 million “likes.”(continued)

Bump!
The more they try to minimalize her the more we can laugh. The liberal press doesn’t spend this kind of energy on a non-threat to their agenda.
Sarah still puts fear into the Left.
May we always be happy and may our enemies always know it. - Sarah Palin, 10-18-2010

That last line made me LOL about the sandwich.
I’ve loved Sarah since that morning in 2008 when she was introduced as McLame’s VP pick. I think The Lord has very big plans for her. In His perfect timing, I pray she runs for president next time.
(ping to onyx to say Hi and I see a glimmer of hope Sarah may run in 2016)
I don’t see that she is going to be a speaker this year is she? My son is a intern this year in DC at Freedomworks and can go. It would be great if he can hear Sarah speak. But like I said I looked up the speakers and she is not mentioned. Do you have knowledge thats more up to date?
Amen. Sarah is SO irrelevant they can’t stop talking about how irrelevant Sarah is!
Sarah Sarah Sarah....is what keeps ping ponging back and forth in their little heads.
=)
Ouch, that probably is going to leave a mark.
