1. Where do they get $1,100 from anyway? Saved by the Bush tax cuts?

Maybe average working-class Archie Bunker types don't make up most of the Tea Party crowd given the pricing, which some conservatives have criticized too (IIRC). Think about how the ultra-wealthy conservatives are constantly screaming against tax hikes.

4. My house payment is $1100 n/t

2. Exactly right, regular working people don't have that sort of money to drop

For most, that constitutes money for bills and the mortgage. There was nothing real or average about that dog show.

5. Propaganda pure and simple n/t

10. Real, average, non-elitist -

- German citizens became captivated by Nazi ideology. The source of that stimulus was years of increasingly antagonistic and rousing propaganda, such as that presently dispensed via broadcast and print media by such agitators as Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Coulter, O'Reilly, Malkin, et. al.

Palin is riding that wave, the effect of which is apparent in the willingness of ordinary people to part with money they can barely afford. And this is a very bad sign.

11. I find the "real American" bullshit very Nazi

We all know what it means -- "Real" = "White" or "coloreds" who know their place is serving or immitating the "real."
