      Carlson has a very low opinion of Palin's failure to call Rush and other faux conservative talkers out for their part in the "retard" incident. Carlson is the guardian for her mentally handicapped brother and has been for quite a while.

      Carlson was right on the money with her comments. Palin has done NOTHING to garner the media coverage that she gets. Polls show that most Americans believe that she is unqualified and incompetent to hold office. She's hateful and dishonest. Why give this woman a forum?

        Why? Because hateful and dishonest sells, even if you officially represent a political party, the trick is to either keep the velvet gloves on or to not get caught during those times when you take them off...

          Apparently, not so much They've started to sicken the evangelicals to the point that they are talking of withholding donations to the RNC.

            Well, there's also the fact that the Repubs have never really come through for the Evangelicals; despite the talk of "Neo-cons and Theo-cons",once elected it's only the Neos who make policy...

            Did you read the comments on that Politico article? It's sad. Republican peasants don't care if their leadership uses these tactics because they say the Democrats and the liberal media have been doing this kind of stuff for years...

            But not a single one posted an example. They don't care. They are so brainwashed that their 95 IQ doesn't have the horsepower to overcome their urge to support their corporate masters in ANY situation. They are a party filled with yes-men.

      She's definitely talked about too much, but she's just such an easy target and it's so much fun to rip into her. I guess that's the plan... to be mentioning her so she gets more famous regardless of how much of an idiot she is made into.
