I fell into a burnin ring of fire
While doing some research on the web I inadvertently fell into a ring of fire at the Washington Times. An opinion piece by a fellow who was upset about the treatment Sarah Palin has been receiving lately, specifically an article by Maureen Dowd. The fellows name is BREITBART and his piece was titled: New York Times Barbie strikes again
In his article Breitbart is burning down Maureen Dowd because of her critique of Sarah Palin. His article, published on July 6 at 4:25am has to this point garnered 94 comments, The great majority of them agreeing with his points and some of them taking the fire to new heights by adding Katie Couric and Tina Fey to the bonfire. The following just a sampling of those comments to his blog .
From The Ring :
I think it is time to return the favor to Couric, Fey and Dowd. How about we find out their addresses and begin to regularly visit them and their families and give them a taste of what it is like....Bring down Dowd, Couric and Fey, bring them to the town square, put them on display and heap scorn upon them and their families, especially their families. mac691 (double the dosage Mac69 and visit your healthcare provider if you have one and are not denied because of a previous condition)
But somebody's gotta bloody some noses, and you can't do it from political office. The biggest pass the Democrats get is the cover from the MSM. DanielW (wow the MSM is giving us a pass, mine hasnt arrived yet.)
Today, Sarah Palin is not the ideal candidate to be President, but she is a hyper intellectual visionary giant compared to the naive,simpleminded, Marxist charlatan who currently occupies the White House. Our great nation is currently under seige by mindless incompetent Marxists who are doing everything possible to wreck our free enterprise system and our national credit standing that are the source of our prosperity Reality101
(ok you mindless incompetant Marxists leave the intellectual visionary giant alone already)
But by all means, let's keep it "safe, legal and rare." Waterboarding -- whadcha think I meant. AlanShep (lost yer favorite job did ja, I think he is having withdrawals and means to enhance interrogate us)
After 40-years of political activism I have never seen a phenom like Sarah Palin. Her work is done in Alaska and if the pundits knew anything about that tiny population of only 700,000, there's just so much a person can do there. She turned that State upside down, routed the thieves, and shook the change out of it - then handed the money to the people, after years of cronyism.....Liberals and socialists of all strata seem to want to jump from tall buildings at the very thought of her landing in their City. What non-fictional character on earth can match that in this present day? As for the handful of dirtbags in the RNC who can't seem to keep it in their pants long enough to stand up for something,I can only say, Sarah's the one. She is the face of strength; the face of traditional conservatism; the new face of feminism; the face of ethical action and faith; she is an inspiring person we would all do well to learn from - and she's just as cute as a can be! Doesn't that just drive you nuts? sierrablanca (40 years wondering in the desert but now she has found the ONE, and the One,she is cute and has the One ring that will rule us all, oh also she drives you nuts. Evidently)
Ok that's enough truth for me. I escaped with minor scorching. I just thought you might like to know whats being said elsewhere. I did get a dash of water in the ring of fire from a fellow named Mr. Wonderful, who posted this:
The Times site has obliterated my last two efforts to write a comment, so I'll try to be brief: This article is ridiculous. Sarah Palin's biggest enemy is Sarah Palin. Her every public statement consists of some combination of Rotary Club cliches, right-wing dog-whistling,outright lies, and word-salad free association. But Breitbart blames--of all people--Dowd, Couric, and Fey. A columnist, a tv interviewer asking creampuff questions any 8th grader could answer, and a comedian. "Pathetic" has a new name. The only question is, how much of this nonsense does its author actually believe? We--and he, probably--will never know. Mr Wonderful
I know some of you are Fu Fighters and enjoy a good skirmish, for those who cant resist you can find the fiery ring at Wash Times .Wear your thick skins if you go.

One of my pet Alaska peeves is the attempt to portray it as some sort of libertarian ideal in action, when it is one of the biggest welfare states on the Federal dole. In 2005, Alaska received $1.84 in Federal funding for every $1 its residents were taxed. Not too hard balancing a state buget on that hunk of welfare cheese.

Far out is it not? This one lady has been politically active for 40 years and has not learned anything true, not even by osmosis.

Nawwwww...I'll pass on taking a trip into the abyss dondi, but thanks for the link anyways. Pretty typical of the pure hate that oozes from the far right. Kinda dovetails nicely with the book that is being discussed this week here at The Book Club.

I know libertine, I did not go on purpose but once there certain words seemed to flash like neon signs.I mean "The One, and such is so over the top that my eyes were glued.I have come to expect it from Politicians because I thought they were just gaming,but now I'm shocked that they may be serious and that there are everyday people who believe the same way.It doesn't seem possible.

I've done battle with them before Dondi. It hurts my brain to have to think down to their level. Sadly my sister, who has been fairly sane up til recently, has fallen under their sway...she is now a 'birther' who believes Obama wasn't born here and it is being covered up that he wasn't. Yep a know a whole bunch of people who have been driven over the edge by hate...I don't if it more sad or scary. But I have had my go rounds with them...and it is an unwinnable fight because the positions they take are so illogical you can't talk to them. All you can do is make your point and try to dissuade any one on the fence, either watching, listening or reading, from going over.

Ramona, so unbelievable I thought others should see it for themselves.Just a small sample out of 94 comments.Maybe Ive been naive all this time and others here wont find this alternate universe so shocking.

It's beyond insane to think that Sarah Palin is a qualified policy maker. Usually skilled politicians don't avoid serious interviews like grim death because they're afraid of exposing a knowledge-base riddled with gaps.
