So a bunch of people think she's an idiot and a poor writer, or God forbid, just plain disagree with her and it's suddenly a Phobia?

Such grandstanding only reinforces the media desire for a good underdog fight. In reality people aren't nearly that excited about Sawah Pawin or her widdle book.

You know, even negative attention is still attention. The more the lib dems villify Sarah Palin, the more attention she will get and there is a limit to how much "fun" you can make of a person before you start offending the American sense of fair play. Sure no one takes Sarah Palin seriously as a contender for 2012, but no one likes seeing a lone woman getting beat down by unfair numbers.

p.s. nope I am not a Sarah Palin supporter...but she does have nice legs!

"Palinophobia"? That term is just as rediculous as "homophobia", when used against conservatives and others who are uncomfortable with gay rights.

The idea that Mrs. Palin is a buffoon has nothing to do with fear, unless you're talking about those who seriously think she ever has a chance of being President, and are afraid of what she might do.
The suffix -phobia isn't exclusively used for psychological conditions and anxiety disorders, in non-clinical use it describes both fear and aversion, prejudice and discrimination, such as in Homophobia and Xenophobia.

She better harden up then, if she wanna run in 2012. Noone pulled any punches against Obama, Biden, Hillary or McCain, if she has any political ambitions, she's better off dropping that victim mentality.

If anyone cared to read my post this is what happened:

Someone posts on a forum a piece from Obama's book as if it was written by Sarah Palin
As expected people tore into it
The original poster then reveals that what they were tearing down was actually written by Obamassiah himself, ooooh the sacrilage!!!

Pretty funny rant from a guy who runs a company dealing in WWII reproduction uniforms and gear:

http://www.atthefront.com/

Pitbull Piss-ant

When the going gets tough, the whiners run for cover. And blame everyone but themselves. How in the hell did McCain pick that dingy broad? Are the people who make up the Republican party really the backward, ignorant hillbillys that the liberals make them out to be? Why does anyone pay attention to anything the moose mom says. She's an imbecile. "Going Rogue" is a bit pretentious and overblown. "Anybody's Fault But Mine" would be more like it.

When they announced her as the VP choice, like everyone else, I said "who the hell is she?" Within a week, when it was obvious they had a short leash and a tight muzzle on her, I knew McCain was toast. Sure enough, as soon as they let wonder woman speak, she sank the boat. But, like herpes, she keeps popping back up every few months to aggravate everything again. In case it has escaped the rant fans, one of my biggest pet peeves is failure to own up to your screw ups. She spends the majority of her time pointing fingers to excused her lame performance. Apparently her twitter was so grievously injured by the naughty things posted about her that she could no longer govern. "Pitbull" my ass. A sniveling cocker spaniel is more like it.

Spouting folksy common sense and being in the church choir do not make you presidential material in themselves. According to throngs of female Republicans last Fall, her repeated encounters with her hubby's baby-gravy were the most amazing thing since sliced bread and this common ground led them to the apparently logical conclusion that she was an obvious choice to lead the free world. My dilemma is this- McCain, Obama and I all have similar reproductive organs so how does this help me to choose? Life is so complicated...

So, the moms thought she was Jesus in heels because she had been knocked up, and the rednecks thought she had great ****- and she likes guns so this made her "compelling". It's like impressing UT football fans- paint it orange and add a white "T" and they start hollering and piss all over themselves with excitement. Not that they have bladder control issues- they just get too drunk to find the bathroom.

Her presence on the ticket caused more people I've encountered to vote for Obama (as a protest) than I ever imagined possible. Including at least a dozen gun dealers- and that's an accomplishment. It's approaching half of the people I know who I thought surely would have voted Republican. All agreed that she is so ignorant as to be dangerous- literally. McCain isn't the healthiest guy and I would be not in the least bit surprised if that chick were to wake up to announce that Moses came to her in a dream and told her to nuke Brazil- as payback for them bombing a place in Nebraska called Pearl Harbor. There was no conspiracy to discredit her, despite hers and Rush Limbaugh's claims to the contrary. All the other side had to do was sit back let her babble. I don't know whether any VP candidate could have resulted in a Republican victory last Fall, but she was a gift to the Obama campaign.

The lack of any vestige of common sense of our people is appalling. Fat, lazy (http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/)...desire has become an occupation. Ignorance and boorish behavior is rewarded. The Springer show becomes the norm, thugs demand respect, and soldiers are prosecuted for killing the enemy. And now a twit who thinks Jesus rode a T.Rex to work and who probably can't find Russia on a map is pushed as presidential material. What the hell were they thinking???

The current choice is bad enough, but at least he is intelligent and has a slick operation- it's somewhat understandable why people bought his spiel. But electing Ms. Deer-in-the-headlights to any office higher than the town softball council is...well....a sign of the times. We are getting what we deserve.

People are already upset with me because I'm down on hot-pants Palin. Sorry, but I'm stumped at how anyone can find her to be even remotely qualified for national office. Watch an interview with her- it's obvious that she has no depth of knowledge- she struggles with the script she's memorized and as soon as the topic strays from what she's been tutored on the night before, she's totally lost. Paris Hilton is more coherent in conversation. Palin may be a total sweetheart and a great person, but she's not presidential material. If she would just admit she was too inexperienced last Fall I'd give her some credit. But it's blame game 101. Whoever vetted her should be banned from political consulting and Rush needs to see a shrink. Moreover, her brand of politics is going to split the opposition to Obamanomics just when that's the last thing we need right now. That's why I'm really ticked. Please get somebody capable up front before it's too late. She's not it.

And lastly, I'm no fan of the current leadership. Breaking the treasury for no apparent gain baffles me, so it must be good for some of his buddies. Perhaps Pelosi will get a free face lift. Who the hell knows. Hopefully, he's over reaching and this crap won't get passed. But I'm not holding my breath.

Inappropriate for a rant? Naw. I like stirring the pot...

Are you in the habit of calling people you disagree with idiots?
Do personal attacks really reflect the hight of your ability for political discourse?

Tell you what...you keep on carrying on, stay in your lane, and STFU. Unless you have something insightful to add? Hell, CJ is at least funny in his disdain...you are just parroting what some guy on a WWII memorabilia site wrote.

It's unfortunate people see her as some sort of leader. "Going Rouge: An American Life"? People buy it? She's a REAL American? Jesus christ.

Hard working Americans don't quit their jobs to promote a book they will make millions off of. She should have finished her term of service to the people of Alaska.

Ms. Palin’s book also had the second-best first-week sales of any memoir by a current or past president, or vice presidential or presidential contender, Nielsen BookScan said. The No. 1 book on that list, “My Life” by Bill Clinton (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/bill_clinton/index.html?inline=nyt-per), sold 606,000 copies in its first week of release in 2004; at No. 3 is Hillary Rodham Clinton (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/hillary_rodham_clinton/index.html?inline=nyt-per)’s “Living History,” which sold 440,000 copies when it was first released in 2003.

She lost my vote, or any potential for it, the day she walked out on her governorship. With the exception of admission for some impropriety (ala Nixonian) she should have given the people of Alaska at least 30 days notice. Six months would have been even better.

She will certainly surface again in politics, that I am quite certain. I hope she realizes her enemies have been digging up permafrost in AK since she left office. Tidbits will be released here and there with the big stuff saved for her entry into the big race. Following that will be calls for congressional investigations, criminal investigations, ethics investigations, etc., all the usual schtick in destructive politics.
Did you count the number of lawsuits that were brought against her as the Governor? Baseless ones that required the state's and her personal money to be spent. She had an ethics complaint that has been filed against her that claims a conflict of interest because she wore an Arctic Cat logo gear during the Iron Dog snowmobile race that her husband participates in.

Sarah Palin memoir tops US book sales
(AFP) – 19 hours ago

NEW YORK — Republican former governor Sarah Palin's memoir "Going Rogue" shot to the top of the US bestseller list in its first week after publication, industry figures showed Wednesday.

With almost half a million copies sold, "Going Rogue: An American Life" beat new blockbusters by James Patterson and Stephen King to become the highest-selling book in the country, according to Nielsen BookScan.

Palin ran for vice president last year on John McCain's losing ticket and is seen as a potential Republican presidential contender.

She launched the memoir, published November 16 by HarperCollins, with a blitz of media appearances and a political campaign-style book tour.

Her appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show received huge attention, both contributing to publicity for the book and also boosting Oprah's own ratings –– in some markets doubling viewership, Nielsen said.

Palin's electability remains in dispute, but in the book race she does well against other Washington heavyweights.

First week sale statistics show "Going Rogue" selling 469,000 copies, less than former president Bill Clinton's 2004 memoir, "My Life" at the same period of sales, but just ahead of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 2003 "Living History."

"Going Rogue" trounces the performance of President Barack Obama's 2007 "Audacity of Hope" which had sold 67,000 copies a week after publication, Nielsen figures show.

Four books by McCain in the last five years and one by former president George W. Bush sold only in the low thousands in their first week after publication.

Other bestsellers published this month within a week of Palin's memoir include "I, Alex Cross" by Patterson and King's "Under the Dome."

HarperCollins announced an initial print run of 1.5 million copies for "Going Rogue," which comes as Palin flirts with the idea of running for the White House in 2012 as champion of the Republican right.

"That certainly isn't on my radar screen right now, but when you consider some of the ordinary-turning-into-extraordinary events that have happened in my life, I am not one to predict what will happen in a few years," she said last week.

She added that she was ready to assume a major role "if the people will have me."

The data collected by Nielsen does not include sales at warehouse stores and retail giants Wal-Mart, Sam's and BJ's, or at libraries.
