If?
What have you taken at face value based on what is in this thread?

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.

With no specifics the above is pretty empty.
But, what would be the difference between Palin using "propaganda" and Obama using "propaganda"?
I can tell you that I pay attention to people with power and people I take very seriously. Most of the folks tap dance around the real issue - they fear Palin. Simple honesty is refreshing.

To engage in political discourse, you need to know the issues, and you need to know what each faction is saying.

I don't engage issues or people I don't take seriously. And many of you confuse me on your responses to me, why waste time engaging Ace given all the problems he has.
{added} Have you notice that Ace has started to refer to himself in the third person? Wonder what that means?

I think ignoring people like Palin and Bachman is a bad idea, because there many who listen to their every word.

There are people listening to every word from Louis Farrakhan he is generally ignored. There has to be more and we can't keep saying, paraphrasing, that she is an idiot and then say we can't ignore her.
It has become clear that the attacks against Palin are not about substance but more about undermining her credibility so less people will be inclined to want to listen to her. There is a real fear that her message actual may sell to a broader audience. Hence her strategy of keeping her options open and responding to every attack can prove to be very effective - and that is very ironic.

Use your own words then.

Ace your logic is completely lacking and done answering your questions. It's wasting my time and yours.

I am not wasting my time, this has value to me. If you ask me what and why, I could give a honest, direct and understandable answer.
