A few Palins ago, somebody posed the ostensibly rhetorical question, "So is it okay when conservatives use language like that?"

No, it isn't.

What about selling more than 1,000,000 books? Never mind.

Hell, Vanilla Ice sold 10 million copies of one album. Nobody's making preparations for him to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

So Palin is now Paris Hilton and Vanilla Ice. Got it. I am beginning to think you Palin bashers had some girl laugh at you when you were naked once.  ;)

It means that because someone has relative popularity now doesn't mean that it's sustainable.

That's admirable, and she has sold many more books than I have.  I've not read her book and don't intend to.  I seldom buy books about people I've already learned quite a bit about through the short-attention span media.  I do enjoy reading Ann Coulter because she's irreverant and unapologetic. 

Rush's two books have sold over 9 million in hard and paper back.  She's got a ways to go to eclipse that.  I'm also curious if that number includes copies purchased for promotions?  Newsmax and Townhall magazines will give you a free or low cost copy of the book with a year's subscription to their magazine.  He's also got a daily radio audience in the range of 10 to 20 million listeners.

Once she's sold 9+ million books and has a daily radio or TV audience greater than is claimed by Limbaugh, I'll agree with you that she's got more of a following than Rush. 

Nothing personal, I simply don't see any great leadership skills in her and I don't find her terribly compelling.

No, the words: "Shock and Awe" come to mind  ;)

It's not a "love affair". I support her because she is pro-life, has great views on energy policy, and is a huge supporter of our military. That's it. So, what is with your love affair with Obama?

Hate to burst your bubble, but Barack is not my type. Michelle is pretty hot tho...

It's kind of funny you immediately assume that if I dislike Palin I must be an Obama lover.

The only shameless, unquestioning admiration around here appears to be for .....Palin.

Some goon in admin./ mod goosed my site personal info and changed it. All posties need to understand what they are dealing with in here but they have no rules to live by only a moral obligation. That's long speak for what "they"
did was immoral. My stuff is cutting edge. Their stuff is censorship. Shameful.

I do not care if she runs or not. I support her (her efforts at getting her message out there even though she does not hold office RW) for my stated reasons. Many folks on this forum just cannot stand the fact that she has massive amounts of influence and popularity yet holds no office. Point to me someone else in that position--even Rush will fall short.
No, the reason she is disliked is because of her idiotic political views and her hypocrisy.  And her striking level of ignorance of all things political and governmental.  And the fact that she's a quitter.

This just in, Bugo draws 6,000 people to watch him/her deliver a speech given in Salina, Kansas tonight.

Also, which political view does Palin have that is idiotic?

I'm not a politician.  I don't claim to have the wisdom to lead a nation.  Palin does claim to have it, and it's painfully obvious that she's as wise as a box of rocks.

More than ten seconds, which is enough time to list at least ONE. Buddy! Quickly, run over to dailykos or DU and get your ammo.
