Sarah Palin joins Fox News!

[Babs]

Yet you offer no real reasons for hating Palin.

tell me you're kidding.

[Babs]

No, he's right. Most people agree being a mom is very shameful. The nerve of her!

she really lost me when she went out and had a handicapped kid. Like, ew!

Not most, but many do.

I'm kidding.

[byu71]

at least what she represented.

This is what she represents to the elite. :moon:

[falafel]

I'm kidding.

I seriously almost missed it.

[woot]

Why? I can understand why people don't take her seriously, but what in the world has she done/said that could generate hatred of her?

Nothing in particular, only that she clearly has no knowledge, curiosity, or skills that would give anyone a reason to vote for her other than her hard-line religious and political opinions. So, as I alluded to, my hatred was more directed at the anti-intellectualism and partisanship that she represented. On a personal level I find her repugnant, but no more so than millions who share her views. It's mostly just a shame that McCain picked her over just about any other option.

Someone I don't care to see joined a news station I don't care to watch.

Seems my life will continue on as is. In fact, she may end up on my TV less now. Yahoo!

Right. It's an antipathy toward the phenomenon and what it says about conservative politics in this country.

The odd thing is that Obama is the exact. same. thing. Just on the other side of the political spectrum. He is ideology embodied; he brought little by the way of experience and skill to the table, and the left-wingers lapped it up just as the right-wingers lapped up Palin's ideology.

I'm not a fan of either of them, and don't understand why anyone would hate one and love the other.

I would agree, except for the fact that Obama is a very intelligent man and doesn't appear to make crazy statements. Well, not that crazy.

I assumed this would be the response, just like the earlier shot at MSNBC, as if that makes Fox ok. Obama has a host of problems, but being unintelligent and incurious aren't among them. I'm not a fan of his, but he is not similar to Palin, sorry.

Woot, please don't be offended when I say this because I really learn from some of the stuff you post.

However, intellectual curiosity is way over rated.

How are we judging intelligence? Sound bytes? Funny clips of people misspeaking? I've established that Obama has his share of gaffes over the last 18 months.

I'm not excusing Palin. I'm just bringing Obama into the discussion to point out some possible inconsistencies.

I ask you the same thing I asked falafel... how are you determining how intelligent and curious these two people are?

This is very good explanation. I'm mostly conservative (economics and foreign policy), but I can't stand her for the some of the reasons you indicated. I also don't like her because so many people WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER think that she's capable to be president. That's not her fault though, but it reveals a disturbing and growing trend in the GOP to distance themselves academia and a segment of society that is supremely accomplished.
