"[Seniors and the disabled] will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care."
-Sarah Palin on Friday, August 7th, 2009, in a message posted on Facebook

But, what would be the difference between Palin using "propaganda" and Obama using "propaganda"?
|
I don't know. Motive? Why do you ask?

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.
|
I don't think everyone fears Palin. However, I will suggest that those who do may very likely have a healthy fear.

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.

If I'm confused about something I'm engaged with, I tend to want to understand it.

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.
|
Farrakhan isn't a high-profile public figure associated with a high-profile political movement, nor is he considering a run for the highest office in the country as a former governor and vice-presidential nominee. I'm curious as to why you'd bring up Farrakhan. Do you consider Palin a kind of Farrakhan?

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.
|
The attacks against Palin tend to be
about her credibility with regard to her message. The irony I tend to see is that she tends to deflect this into some attack on her right to free speech if not something else. She fails to adequately respond to questions regarding her credibility. The interesting thing is that this seems to lead her supporters to believe that this strengthens it. Talk about irony.

What conclusion have you drawn from this information?
|
That she had help with the writing process. Major publishers publishing major works tend not to want to publish substandard writing.
