Why the Washington Post Was Right to Publish Sarah Palin

Commented Dec 09, 2009 at 22:49:38 in Media

“I moved to London after the re-election of "W"- I am in the states for Christmas visiting family and was able to cancel my parent's subscription to the WaPo. They agreed that the turn toward Murdock journalism and the decline in credibility and quality had gone far enough. Yet another poorly written Op-Ed by Palin (or whomever), a political celebrity instead of someone from either side who could lend more info and insight into the issue is just another example of what has gone wrong.”

“In the early 80's Murdoch purchased the Chicago Sun Times a paper I had grown up reading. It took me all of 3 months to stop.”

“Well done, Sir. Your country owes you a debt of gratitude for what you have done in the past and still for what you are doing now. You are a patriot and your service is immeasurable.
Thank you for breaking it down into the plain, simple facts.”

“It's a shame to see people spewing nonsense at teaparties and fallaciously trying to co-opt the title that this man has earned and exemplifies, patriot.”

“Coburn absolutely said the government "earned" the violent responses. Armey couldn't even look at Maddow-she so had him nailed about his Freedomworks-and where did he get the idea about the "impressive" teaparty movement "grass roots (astroturf via Fox) etc..? It was an unmitigated disaster and ended up being a pathetic gathering of every mix if illiterate, angry, misinformed, racist, confederate flag waving loser with nothing better to do in the country! Saying something over and over again doesn't make it true-which is what too many people have been conditioned to believe-it's easier than thinking.”

“When the the GOP learned that the Atwater tricks worked-right up to the Swiftboaters, they realized the lunatics would believe anything and do the hard (and embarrassing for any thinking human being) work-they just have to plant the seed, contact their Drudges and Limbaughs and let them take it from there. They are really appealing to the crazy fringe, because now that is now a significant percentage of the ever shrinking Republican Party. No amount of proof will ever be enough for those masses who have never been able to wrap their little heads around the fact that "their" guy messed up so badly, that even THEIR America would elect a black guy named Hussein. So sad-but I am counting on evolution to weed them out eventually.”

“What a wonderful opportunity for his daughters. And Obama acknowledged that. All the children of our presidents have taken advantage of those travel opportunities. God help us when a peace sign is so "controversial"! OMG- which of us are against peace? Oh, never mind...I have an idea..hence the article”

“Yes, it as a wonderful opportunity for his daughters - it's a shame it had to be politicized by many.”

make it a point to support this young lady by wearing such a T-shirt on Friday.

I wore a PEACE pendant during the 60s, an odd piece of jewelry for a Republican.”

“The Freeper site has been a warehouse for crazy, creepy ,ignoramuses for many years. I am torn as to whether they should be in the spotlight, as rather than feeling chastised for their lack of evolution and literacy, they will simply be delighted for the attention. Their little worlds have surely been turned upside down since the election! They are ugly, hateful and should be monitored as some really appear off kilter, delusional and potentially dangerous. BUt this has been their status quo for many years. Surely they are suffering in their ignorance and inefficacy. Perhaps we should just leave them to their imaginary world on the internet.”

“Trust me-as a progressive, I am willing to donate money to a Palin/Bachmann ticket to guarantee Obama enough time (4 more years) to try and get a grip on Bush's mess. It's not fear about Palin-it's incredulity. And it's fracturing her own party. The Dems could never have come so far without the help of the right wing fringe factor. So , thank you.”

“NO doubt this is just to get more exposure on the national stage and to bail on Alaska because they will soon be feeling the pinch too. Her magic wore off. Maybe she will be satisfied to be some right wing face to extreme right wing causes until she can feel her way back to a national stage as an elected official (her dream)-she will not give up her celebrity-regardless. There is the possibilty of someone brokering a deal as I am certain there are skeletons in her closet still. Has she been on the Appalachian Trail?”
