I agree with that.
It is up to us to get the info out to everyone we know and if they say they have never heard of that then ask them where do they get their news from and once they say NBC etc then tell them that is why they have never heard about it as NBC is lying to protect obama.
Tell them that the MSM have an agenda and it is best to get their info from other sources.

If we all told our neighbors, friends, family work associates etc then we’d be getting more info out than the lame stream.

Do you want an example of divisiveness and anti-American arhetoric? It's not from patriots like Sarah Palin but from a woman of Mexican heritage, a so-called "Latina":

It's safe to say there was a collective sigh of brown relief when the Tucson killer turned out to be a gringo.

See the whole hate-filled article from Daisy Hernandez at NPR, of course.

The loughner lefties in the media claim that obama is trying to unite us, but they undermine him by dividing the nation against Palin. The media is playing a dangerous game, and they have no clue if they’ll survive after their game is done.

The left is pretty amazing aren’t they?

Have you ever seen such an orgy of hatred and vitriol from the media?

They’ve despised and loathed her from the beginning, for reasons I don’t fully understand although I think it has a lot to do with class and her background.

They despise & fear her because she's a moral & well adjusted person. Worse, she's popular.

There is a class of people in this nation that hate everything that fits this description. You see their hate manifested every day.

Responding to posturing activity with indifference brings respect when the dust settles. Once settled, people will stand behind the one who works hard and is ethical.

That strategy worked really well for George W. Bush. /s

It's not hard to show them how misinformed they are...I confounded one tech trained college grad by asking him to tell me exactly what Palin has done to convince him she's "stupid." When he admitted he had no clear reason, I went on to ask him if he thought Pelosi and the democrats would MARCH THROUGH THE MIDDLE of the tea party protestors when the dems passed healthcare if they *really* thought them dangerous ...

Then the "light" came on.

LOL.
You have said the same as me when it comes to Sarah.
I;ve asked many of these haters why they hate her and still not one, not one I might add has had any clue why.
All they ever say is that they’re stupid and so I asked them in what way, give me examples please.
They cannot.
I did have one woman say she failed at school to which I replied she did not , look it up and if she is thick then could you tell me please what grades obama got.
Silence from them.

I said it during the election of 2008 and I still stand by what I said.
These obama voters have proven that they’re the dumbest voters this country has ever had.

The thing is that I find it fun to get these people and ask them why they believe in what they say but then cannot give any facts to back up what they say...

They despise & fear her because she's a moral & well adjusted person.

Those who hate Sarah Palin hate her because she is pro-life, and because she has so courageously proved it.

Palin, without even saying a word, enrages these people because she reminds them of their own guilty consciences.

And they fear her also --because as you say, she's popular; and additionally she is courageous, attractive and intelligent, no matter how much the Left tries to this.

Dan Balz and all his "pro-choice" comrades in the LSM are absolutely petrified of seeing Palin elected to high office, where they would see her mere presence as a rebuke to them, every single day.

And they resent Sarah's having a voice in the public "discourse" at all. Thus their need to destroy her.

Obama has proved to be a polarizing figure in office, he sought to unify WALL STREET and other FAT CATS.He’ done such a bang up job with the economy and all.His misery index is the only thing that keeps the media in business.

Let me fix this for you.

If Americans are angry, Obama is as more responsible as than any other individual is.

Zer0 can sit back and let his band of flying monkeys attack Sarah Palin.

She has to defend herself, sadly.

There are two Americas: One that collects our tax money, is always guaranteed a job, has incredible benifits, has an incredible pension and buys their politicians to maintains the status quo. Then there is the other America that scrounges for a living, has no guaranteed income, pays the taxes, pays the high insurance costs or has no medical insurance at all, has only Social Security and is called a knuckle dragger by the other America.

In a nutshell:

LEFT: This was your fault.

RIGHT: That’s BS.

LEFT: Hate speech!

“I’d like to see Sarah Palin, as a housewife and mother, start speaking up about the rapidly rising price of groceries and then link the rise to Obama’s policies.”

ME, TOO!!! - Of course, Sarah hunts and fishes for her family’s meat, and I’d imagine she gardens some when the weather’s suitable - raising her own “arugula” for her salads. I’m sure she can still relate on the basis of what she does buy at the supermarket.
