The sites devoted to Sarah Palin that I have visited in the main, do not carry any articles or Posts critical of her. In fairness, she does pen some answers to her critics on some of the sites. Other of the sites have videos with her taking on her critics directly. Then too, there is enough negative press about her out there and these sites are a counterweight. But Sarah is a fighter. She’s a different political animal.
Including more of the critical articles about her can make a site more credible. After all, non-Palin supporters find the web pages. A point by point response right on one of these sites would be powerful stuff. Sarah can afford to have that kind of material there.
We need more of the yin and yang of issues closely juxtaposed. We need to spice up the Pro-Palin websites – a little more controversy if you please. I don’t want to feel as if I’m in church. I’m off to create a Pro-Palin site called: Sugar and Spice and Some Things Not So Nice About Sarah Palin! Let the mainstream media mice charge. She knows the kind of gun to use.
NOTE: Sarah Palin websites visited will not be posted. I leave it up to the public forum to review these sites and draw their own conclusions. And I welcome a response to my assertions since I cannot visit all sites.

Without criticism of the constructive nature, there is often no progress. I am not telling anyone to do anything. I am making suggestions. There is a difference. That is why there is room for comments and feedback on blogs. Still love you , VF.

Sometimes the best talking points come from examples of how to handle the haters in a one on one forum. That’s just my opinion. Still love you, VF!!!! In all sincerity and with all respect as my mentor.

I delete about 10 to 20 hate-filled Palin comments a day from my site. Most of these request, with myriad expletives, that she either be raped or killed, or the very nicest of the slams call her a Nazi KKK whore who deserves every bit of fetid criticism the left can dish out on her and on her children.
SH, I understand what you’re proposing – a fair two-sides-of-the-fence discussion. I’m all for that. My experience, however, is that these leftwing nutjobs don’t want to discuss facts, they are statist bullies hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet to throw whatever disgusting crapolla they can at Sarah. They don’t want reason, they don’t want balance, they don’t want truth – they want pain to befall Palin, they want her to suffer, they want her to be destroyed. Even if they have to lie through their teeth. Period.
I cannot and won’t feed their unhinged hate by giving them a public forum to feed more who crave and dish out that hateful rhetoric. Civil discussion is an ideal, but I’ve not had many who do that. So, I won’t allow anti-Palin comments on the blog. Those who are civil and lucid but don’t agree with Palin do get posted. My rules, my blog. It’s like freedom of speech… you can say within reason whatever you want, but not say it in MY HOUSE.

I need to clarify that I did not mean Palin haters; simply Palin critics – I hope there is a difference. I don’t consider nut cases as debaters and people with an inordinate and baseless amount of hate toward someone are not worth the time. I truly mean people who have a reasonable criticism as for example mine that she dived into the Tea Party movement so wholeheartedly. It has been a split movement; and unsettled movement. Support the movement but don’t try to lead it. They are sensitive to being led anyway. I think she took a chance in saying Tea Partiers needed to sign up with a party. Now we have Pelosi going out after Tea Partiers. Let her jump off into the deep end. Palin should support but stay above the fray. This is the kind of discussion I would like to see at one of her sites.

Like ClassicFilm said, my blog my rules.
SamHenry, if you want to sit on the fence in this forum you will be attacked from both sides.
Pick a side. Or don’t.
Palin is fully capable of looking after herself.
Bill O’Reilly sits on the fence.(example).
Can’t pin him down, he likes that, I don’t.
He wants to be able to move back and forth at will.
Pick a direction and stick to it.
IMO

AVET – I am not being clear here I guess. I am not on any fence. I am talking about a content issue not an issue of supporting her or not. I support here. I am talking about a format for highlighting her views through a debate format.

You have clarified your position.
Prepare to be inundated by left wing wackos.

I don’t think I will be inundated by left wing wackos because I have moderation set on the site. I have to approve comments. But in any event, you will be there to fly cover for me, right?

To quote Palin: “You betcha!”
*grin*
I commend you for your idea. I don’t agree with it, but I give you a lot of credit for the chutzpah to give it a go.
I think the concern for you here is that many left-wing nutjobs have too much time on their hands. And most of them only know 4-letter words…

You are right about this you and AVET. But remember, there is one word in the dictionary everyone can say and that everyone can understand: “OUT.”
