For once, I have to say that Morris is spot on about this. Palin made a huge blunder in taking the bait.
Is it a normal reaction? Yes, it is.
But, running for President is not a "normal" activity. If she is going to make a run, she best get some some kind of a plan together. So far, she seems very short term in her thinking and actions.
If conservatives lie down and think that “by rising above the fray” when they are wrongly attacked is going to make them noble and Presidential is a fool! The media and the dems will be picking off everyone easily, acting civil got McCain “we don’t need to be afraid of an Obama Adminstration” nowhere, look at what happened to George W Bush when Karl Rove told him to ignore the attacks and don’t fight back!
The media is in the tank for Obama and us being silent will only let them set the narrative on us and define us and all it takes is a small percentage to believe it and vote Obama in a second term.......if this Obama/Dem/MSM is impossible to overcome, I would rather go down with the ship fighting than being honorable and not fighting back!!
I’m really not being hostile here, but, empirically, someone please tell me when Dick Morris has been right about anything in the last four years? I seem to recall he missed the number of GOP wins by about 40. He said McCain was going to pull it out at the last minute, and it wasn’t even close. I just don’t recall anything he’s predicted in the last few years that has actually come true. Am I missing something?
“dick is out of date and not able to properly address the present
For once, I have to say that Morris is spot on about this. Palin made a huge blunder in taking the bait.”
And if she had said nothing, she would be accused (as they were already accusing her) of “hiding out”.
Her response was pitch perfect, both in the video and on Hannity. The fact that the Establishment and its MSM pipe organ rose as one man to condemn it is of zero consequence. Her address was dignified and Presidential ( in contrast to Obama’s disgusting pep rally complete with campaign tee shirts)t and it placed the blame squarely where it belonged, on the perpetrator and not on the lack of “civil” discourse (the PC code word for restricting the 1st Amendment political speech), as Obama did.
Morris feels he needs to make himself relevant where Palin is concerned. He is not. He would like to be her advisor. He won’t.
You see. Sarah Palin does not need an adviser. Her own judgment and political instincts are far superior to those of Morris or any other Washington expert. She has turned the political world on its ear without so much as an assist from the likes of Morris or Karl Rove or any of the other wannabes, whose chief talent is claiming credit for what others did. The fact that she doesn’t need them irks then to no end. That they lash out at her surprises no one with a brain.
That was no bait. They attack her every chance they get. I don't want another Bush. I want someone with a steel spine who WILL NOT allow BLOOD LIBEL to go unanswered.
