There is a world of difference between an educated, intelligent man like the President, and a practicing redneck dullard like Palin. Did you know that Palin believes a valley full of recently dead dinosaur bones had been found in Alaska, but believes scientists are suppressing news of it?!?!

Palin also never ordered anyone killed without a trial or presided over the most paranoid administration since Nixon either; she may believe in magical dinosaurs, but Obama doesn't seem to believe in the rule of law, or at least the applicability of the law to himself.

Also, not for the first time, are any actual conservatives paying any attention to Palin these days? The only people I ever see bring her up are liberals, usually of the partisan, point scoring variety.

Sarah Palin is a self-professed 'redneck'. So her show may find an audience, since other 'redneck' programming such as 'Duck Dynasty', 'Honey Boo Boo', 'Moonshiners', 'Buckwild', 'Call of the Wildman', "Whites of West Virginia" are so popular.

The popularity of these shows is said to be because they relate to the rural working class people. I would also add that perhaps the airheadedness, vapidness you describe, actually gives it a folksy feel to which people can relate. She talks like a real person.

There really is a show called Whites Of West Virginia?!?!

White is their last name. It is actually several movies involving the family. There are plenty of people who use one family of people who abuse the system as being representative of most.

I must admit that they are in my extended family. Although they are not religious enough to still be acknowledged with anything other than contempt by most of the "core" family.

You're related to Jesco!?!

Like I've said 2 or 3 times now, I have better things to occupy my mind with so I don't care one way or another. She's had her moment in the sun but there's not much that can be done about the comparatively few that still think the sun rises and sets on her.
On second thought, maybe I will become a Palin fan since her mere public presence bothers you and your kind that much. That's worth at least something.

Unfortunately. One of the rival hillbilly families that relocated at the same time to the area for the factory work never let's us forget that particular gnarly branch in the family tree. My great grandma was D. Ray's mother (Jesco's grandmother).

But in Boone county (and everyone who can trace their family to there) is pretty much related. I have three cousins that are 3rd cousins from my grandpa's side and 5th cousins from my grandma's.

Among the most conservative remnants of the "Greatest Generation" she still has some sway.

Which is why I find it so hilarious that she started up a web channel. She probably makes more money off of the types of media folks who are subscribing than from her actual fans.

Thanks to Obama we'll never know for sure how she would have used the power of the executive branch under McCain. But as she had compared waterboarding to the sacrament of baptism, I have a pretty good idea she would have had no problem with doing what Obama is doing, if not worse.

I can't say the same about how liberals feel about their beloved hero, Barry O.

If she wasn't a focal point of right wing populist fanaticism, I certainly wouldn't care about her, either. But the Duck Dynasty crowd thinks she's the "Second Coming." That's why we liberals care enough to ridicule every idiocy uttered from her mouth.

It will do you no good to care one way or the other.

Duck Dynasty must really be the rage in eastern Washington. I never heard very much about it until you brought it up in an earlier thread.

The comparative few that would actually idolise Palin will only write you off as a babbling liberal idiot.

I doubt many people in my neck of the woods watch that crap - but they flood our stores with their show related products just the same. :lol: I gotta think you've seen all that crap in your stores long before I or anyone else mentioned it on WP.
And if it's only the few who idolize Palin, why does the conservative media like Fox constantly still give her a soapbox to screech from?

How does the quote about Howard Stern go? The average Stern lover listens for an hour, to hear what he'll say next, while the average Stern hater listens for 2 hours, to hear what he'll say next? I'd say she's like Ann Coulter in a way, as in she's basically human click-bait at this point that no one actually takes seriously aside from partisans and the media, but I'm coming around on the theory that Coulter is really doing a very long term Stephen Colbert type routine, where as Palin is genuine. I always imagine it went something like with that guy who painted fake Vermeers to fool the critics that panned him and then humiliate them by revealing the fraud, only to make so much money selling his "newly discovered" Vermeers that he just shut up and kept on doing it.

So we're acknowledging that Obama is up to some pretty nefarious sh*t now? Well, baby steps I suppose.

Yeah, cause it would have really sucked if she'd done what she did in Alaska on a national scale, i.e. reached across the aisle and cleaned up a bunch of long running cronyism, couldn't have that...

I have acknowledged that the spying scandals are a travesty already in the past. But Palin has made it clear she has no problem with the use of torture, which not only has Obama condemned, but also Palin's former running mate, McCain. Had McCain croaked while in office, as many of her supporters had been drooling for, we could have expected a return to the worst abuses of the Bush administration.
