^ I agree that she is an idiot and that she should go away.

No you don't. If you did, you wouldn't be posting shit about her, especially threads defending her. It's fine that you post but don't lie and state that you want her to go away.

As with a great deal of what comes out of the mouths of the right wing, what Sarah said *was not intended to be a factual statement*, but rather an emotional pitch to her base. Now attempting to represent it as *factual* is as scrambled as the original pronouncements.

Or maybe it's just one of those "infinite monkey theory" kinda things, where it just fell a little short of actually making sense... She's got time, so she'll just keep banging out gibberish, hoping that somebody will find it to be profound...

Does the truth matter to you?

It does to me.

:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: after you post stuff like this all the while telling us that you want her to go away and that she is an idiot. LOL indeed.

One has nothing to do with the other. He doesn't have to like her to show people she was right about something. I know that's a strange concept for some but it can be done.

I didn't say anything about liking her (obviously, he does), I stated that he said that he wants her to go away and then posts about her and defends her constantly bringing her up. Sure sounds like he want her to go away to me.

OK I will ask, Does the truth matter to you?

Whether Palin knows about Paul Revere or not? No, I don't give a shit one way or another. I don't know all of the history and don't care if she knows or not. Stupid story from both sides of the aisle.

Every time a small bell rings, Sarah Palin says dumb things.

Why are we still paying attention?

1. Assert something contrary to reality
2. Double down when called on it
3. Create a controversy
4. Exploit what is now a two-sided argument
5. Profit

Old tricks are still the best tricks I guess.

This is sig worthy. I try to avoid posting in anything that promotes any sort of publicity for this living publicity stunt. How has the GOP legitimized nominating this fucking idiot? Honestly, WHAT THE FUCK? :|

I've defended Wiener and Obama. Right is right, even when you fundamentally disagree with the person on about everything.

Personally I like Palin, but I think it takes some pretty tortured logic to make her statement reasonably accurate. I will say though that I dislike these Boston elites saying "Well, she was accurate, but I think she was lucky rather than informed."

PJ's attempt to spin has been topped by others on the web:

They argued 'the people were still British citizens, so he WAS warning the British'.

Reading my posts are self explanatory on why I posted here. Again, PJ posted that he wishes she would go away and yet posts about her keeping her in the news and top of P&N. Can't spell it much more clearly than that for you.

Gotta love it. All those elitist liberals, so smug in their knowledge that she's obviously an airhead and plain stupid..... and it turns out that as usual, the elitists are truly the stupid ones and wrong again. :D lol @ stupid elitists, it turns out that even the one they so love to deem stupid knows more than they do!

One last question . . . .

So. . . . her mistake was that Revere did not, physically, ring a bell?

If someone asked you which online forums you visit would your answer be ATP&N or would it sound something like "all of them with a deep appreciation of the media"
