Look at the time line, then reconsider what I wrote.
To me it is beyond belief that people thought that she would seriously run for President after resigning as Governor mid-term. Liberals could have let the concept of her running die that moment, but for some reason they did not, why?
Of course she was not going to close the door on the possibility of running for President. who did not know that, yet the talk and attacks continued, why?
Her voice and her stature grows stronger with each attack by liberals, why don't you see that? Don't some liberals joke about loving to see her as the Republican Pary nominee? Now, I hope they get their wish.

She's said herself that she'll do anything politically if she feels she'll succeed at it, even beating Obama.

I wish McCain had that kinda attitude - if so we would not even be discussing this.

She's the champion of neo-Reaganomics and American exceptionalism. She knows it. I know it. And you know it.

We rarely talk about her policy positions, but I agree with the above. Are her beliefs a problem, or is the narrative that she is "ignorant" - which is it? can she be "ignorant" and be a champion of anything?

She's a leading political reactionary,...

If she reacts to the political environment that is bad, if X responds to the political environment that is...What?
Also, she doesn't change her message, her tone, her core values. She stands strong. I don't see that as reactionary.

and this happens to make her the leading voice in opposition to liberalism and progressive politics in the U.S. If she wanted to be a minor player, she'd spend more effort in flying below the radar rather than keeping her image polished. But we all know her strengths don't lay in gruntwork behind the scenes. They lay in being in the limelight. Her "blood libel" video is evidence of this. She could have easily made statements to the press or even held interviews. Instead she chose to make a polished video statement.

Yes, I know you want her to be Obama-like. I don't.

Note, please, that Dershowitz has very clearly not disconnected the term from being associated with Jewish issues. Palin herself is not Jewish (by a long shot), and she was not speaking in the defense of Jewish people, but herself. She used the term incorrectly, and it's not surprising that Jewish organizations all over the world are pissed about the incorrect use of a serious accusation.

What is your point? Dershowitz is not conservative nor does he consider himself a person who supports Palin. He simply offers his honest opinion. I stated that you have a point of view that is not shared by all - hence it is a matter open to an honest discussion - yet you claim unfairly that Palin is ignorant. I shot a hole in your argument and your response to that is incoherent and it appears that you lack the ability to admit that you could be wrong on Palin being ignorant.
