The proper way to handle Palin
I warn you now, this post will contain a built in paradox, but if you hear me out, you might see it makes sense.

The only way to stop Palin from being taken seriously is if WE stop taking Palin seriously.

Now, our enemy knows that Martyrdom =Credibility. People like Beck and Rush cannot pull it off so well, because, when it comes down to it, both are rich white men, and cannot sell themselves as underclass. Now, I know WE can see past that, but the the same fools that elected Bush cannot. If we show the Teabaggers how much we dislike her, they will prop here up, and just like gangsta rap is mostly sold to white suburban kids in search of freaking out their parents, so shall Palin be sold. The more he show them we hate her, the more the Teabaggers will gobble her up.

Of course, the danger is, as much as we would love to think she would not stand up in 2012, the brutal fact is, America has elected idiots before. Add to this the fact that Obama will probably face a primary challenger, done by those well meaning far leftists that will lose, but do damage, and then go back and say "we did the right thing." And if Palin wrecks the planet in the meantime, so what.

1. I disagree. We all need to buy Palin's book and discuss how stupid it is
in hundreds of threads per day. Add this to our daily watching/listening of Beck, Limbaugh, and Hannity and we'll be all set to beat them in 2012!!!

*sarcasm*

I actually agree with you. The constant discussion of all these right wing crazies here on DU, where we supposedly hate them, just gives them more and more power and money.
