And if Palin has indeed mislead readers on a number of issues, I imagine it's a good thing to know about it, especially if her fans simply take such information at face value.
To tie this back in to the thread, it's this kind of thing that should make it obvious as to why it doesn't make sense to ignore the likes of Palin. If you have Palin and people like Bachman essentially communicating propaganda to the public, it's best to know about it and to know how wide and deep it runs.
To engage in political discourse, you need to know the issues, and you need to know what each faction is saying.
I think ignoring people like Palin and Bachman is a bad idea, because there many who listen to their every word.
