Sorry, mikew, you don’t know what you’re talking about. She made the “death panel” comment in a Facebook post, and it does have quotes around it. You can read it here if you have any interest in actual facts.

The obvious proof of her and her handler’s intent can be seen with the base and how they are parroting that deliberate falsehood. They take her word literally and believe it wasn’t in quotes. They trust her at her word and she is betraying that trust. When will you guys understand this important detail?

Its also very disrespectful to her target audience when taking it for granted that they will automatically buy into any falsehood fed to them, without question. They’ve grown too accustomed to expecting no requests for fact checking and this is only encouraging them to tell bigger and more outlandish lies.

“Lie” is a word that misused about as much as “racist”. It involves motive and awareness of deliberation, so unless they admit to it, we can only judge from the evidence of their statements. How accurate does it represent the indisputable and pertinent facts, etc.

Catron:”Is it because you’re just robotically repeating the BS you’ve feen fed?”
That would be a pojection from a palin supporter.
What would you call avoiding answers that are too hard to refute?

I dont know if you have an aversion to answering to your 10-day old posts, so will just point out that there was no acknowledgement of the prior response to palin lying or not, regarding her “no thanks” bridge stance. Being ignorant of her prior statements isn’t a good image. (Did that fool anyone? Yes, as intended – but only those willing to be fooled)

Couple of points:
1. Sarahphobia is being mistaken for Sarahloathing, which is the same as cheneyloathing. That is the loathing and disgust with deliberate misleadings, where accuracy cant stand up to the simplest fact checking – and how it fools people into believing falsehoods, as intended. Its the degree of inaccuracy or contemptuous of facts that evoke the strongest loathing – as it should from everyone too.

2. She has the base believing she was against receiving bridge funds as governor. Many also believe her enough to believe obama a terrorist, muslim, illegal alien, etc. Its deliberate when they never try to correct things, specially when they’re farthest from the facts.

3. Another base …bamboozlement.. or the blissness in being fooled. Google “palin teleprompter” and see how much the right parrots the false fact of her not using a teleprompter in her last two speeches as gov. Its not her lie, but there is nobody on the right who will dare correct this inaccuracy. Nobody on the left thinks the use of teleprompters should be an issue, the way the right obsesses on it (robotically?). Palin used a teleprompter for both speeches so why why would the right be so content with boasting the opposite – that she didn’t use one?

The right is being expected to be predictably robotic by their pied pipers, to believe the most far fetched things. The deception targets them the most because they are reliably averse to fact checking – doing so would be out-of-step.

I really think Palin is the best option at the moment, and her lack of qualifications does not trouble me.

I would like to object to the insults against dissenters here.

What does that make me?
or am I so “one of a kind”? I doubt it.

Matty says she’s a tool of the conservative elite. You mean like, say Krauthammer, who despises her? Noonan? Brooks? No, Matty, the conservative elite fear what she represents, the Great Unwashed realizing their country has been taken from them by elites and concentrated business interests, wrapped in parties that mouth putatively opposing ideologies, but who act to concentrate power and wealth in the same hands. They more they express their norror and contempt, the more they reinforce the backlash among the Unwashed, the more they love Sarah.

I ask again, why does anyone pay any attention to Sullivan? With his deranged obsession with Palin’s womb and his Foucaultian horro/attraction to “torture (“remember the cruelties!”) it is well known he has become a ranting loon on the level of a Pat Robertson.
