Sarah Palin stirs up another media feeding frenzy
AmericanThinker.com ^ | 27 January 2015 | M Catharine Evans

Posted on 01/30/2015 10:19:59 AM PST by ScaniaBoy

Sarah Palin is being smeared in headlines from the Huffington Post to the Washington Examiner for her 35-minute speech at Saturday’s Iowa Freedom Summit. In 2015, Palinophobia is as palpable as it was in 2008. After six years, the media still tears into the superstar from Wasilla like rabid dogs.

The Washington Examiner's Byron York called the speech "long, rambling and at times barely coherent ... By the time Palin finished speaking, it was hard for anyone to believe she truly is 'seriously interested' in running for president."

From Huffington Post: "Sarah Palin's Bizarre Iowa Speech Gets Thanks – From Democrats"

BBC.com said her speech was "all noise, signifying nothing."

John Fund of National Review Online:

... her [Palin's] meandering and often bizarre .... Sample line: “The man can only ride you when your back is bent, so strengthen it so America won’t get taken for a ride.” She will always be an entertaining speaker at conservative events, but she clearly lacks the discipline for a full-fledged campaign.

Fund failed to realize that Palin based her remark on a quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.: "A man can't ride your back unless it's bent."

Your vitriol towards Palin leads me to believe you are a part of the political class, someone who is benefiting from “crony capitalism”. Palin threatens your little fiefdom.

“...even at freerepublic, there are a lot of Palin haters.”

“Hate” is a word I seldom use and I don't think it is true in your comment. Also, I don't believe the word “lot” is true in your comment.

There are surely “some” Freppers, as opposed to a “lot” who may think she is not presidential material, but they don't “hate” her. I see that on this forum sometimes - a person has a different opinion of “x” and there comes a post charging the poster with “hating” “x”.

Sarah Palin is a conservative who is active in the cause; we need more conservatives who are as active as she is. Whether or not I think she would be a good president is another matter. I think Ted Cruz would be much better. No, I don't “hate” Palin.

I wish I had a dollar for every article I’ve seen written trashing Palin. If it’s not one thing it’s another. Throwing things up against a wall to try to see what sticks. Nothing does so they run scared never knowing when the day will come that “Mama Grizzly” will turn around and rip them to shreds and all their little world domination plans fall apart.

The elites and establishment of the GOPe running just as scared at the dems. They can’t ignore her, they are so afraid. It’s funny watching them. Yet unlike you, they wish she would die. They wish death on her children. But that fact does nothing to discourage people who have joined them in trashing Palin. Their fear of her clouds their judgment. The terror of Palin ending their power directs their path.

It does make it easier to tell the elites and establishment from conservatives, so I guess all their noise serves some purpose.

No? Then what the hell is your problem with her? You may as well be attached at the hip with Karl Rove.

On her pay video website?

That's only effective for those who pay to watch her videos there, and they obviously like her. $$$$

I’m not looking for people that pretend to run for President and then endorse liberal scumbags in the Alaska Governor’s race. Maybe that’s just me.

Good point, I heard that the Plain’s like to fight

Police photos, audio released from scene of party brawl involving Palins Laurel Andrews| (October 21, 2014)

That's what their finger-nails are for.

Anything other minutia you and your elite/establishment friends care to throw against the wall.

Oh her voice, oh she quit, oh she didn’t run, oh she spent money on clothes. Waaaaaah! There’s got to be something about her other than the fact that she’s a conservative who understands how American’s feel.

Please somebody find something, anything. Waaaaaah!

It appears you were right, and I was wrong. I assumed no one could seriously say that and mean it, hence sarcasm.

1 – For what reason would Mrs. Palin insert herself into the 2010 election cycle? Why go out of her way to “endorse” local candidates all over the United States? And mostly TEA Party and grassroots conservative candidates?
2 – For what reason would Mrs. Palin take her entire family on a “bus tour” of historic sites around the United States? The key here is the BUS. If she wanted to tour these sites, she could easily do it in her family vehicle. Why stir up all the attendant media coverage?
3 – For what possible reason would Mrs. Palin need a movie about her political career? Remember, she had her staff approach Mr. Bannon about making some “short” segments. It was Mr. Bannon who made the decision to make a 2-hour movie, using his own money. Why didn’t she just say no?
4 – Why is she supporting this movie with appearances all over the United States? What is the point of traveling all over the U.S., generating press coverage everywhere, and shaking hands and speaking with people, voters, in every locale?
5 – Why are there O4P organizations in over 30 states, especially in all of the early primary states? Why didn’t Mrs. Palin just tell these people to stop? Is she that callous, that she would allow these people to waste their time and energy in this manner?
