I am happy you took the time to write what you feel. I think it's important to express our beliefs and our feelings. I have actually written much more informed posts about Ms. Palin which would underscore this particular one, but you make a good point with respect to my post, as a stand alone, is ridicule. I don't like her or respect her and I make no bones about it. As for President Obama, I think he is ridiculed daily. <br /><br />We can all learn from one another. Sometimes the discourse is civil, sometimes not so much. I hope you visit again.California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929216211968531577.post-45960667372601560972009-11-09T12:26:08.098-05:002009-11-09T12:26:08.098-05:00Isn't the writing of a book self-promotion reg...Isn't the writing of a book self-promotion regardless of who it is? Obama wrote a book, and no one is calling it "shameless self-promotion". Why isn't anyone asking him to just "go away"? <br /><br />I think it's wrong to conduct, and support, personal attacks on a public figure just because you don't like them or agree with their views. It's one thing to disagree with them, to not like their philosophy, to not like their appearance or demeanor, and to not vote for them. That's your opinion, and you have every right to voice it in disagreement. But to ridicule that person and make a public mockery like this is despicable. That's not disagreement, that's a personal attack.<br /><br />If this was being done to Obama, those behind it would have all sorts of labels applied to them. Where are the labels for the people behind Palin's mockery?<br /><br />We all have opinions. You publicized yours by making this post. I'm publicizing mine by commenting about it.Mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979949404266325705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929216211968531577.post-75632628195388368062009-10-29T10:59:40.541-04:002009-10-29T10:59:40.541-04:00Reya: It's true.

Interesting how she now uses it to title her book. She can co-opt anything and spin it.<br /><br />I like how The Nation did the same.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929216211968531577.post-73412956683535811542009-10-25T23:47:02.450-04:002009-10-25T23:47:02.450-04:00OMG!
