  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Nobody cares about Sarah Palin anymore. We all wish Republicans would allow us to move on from failed vice-presidential candidates.
To be fair, the Palin-mania is rather bipartisan. There is the Republican contingent that holds her up as the clear best candidate (who never gaffes and is a mastermind and manipulating the media) and the Democrat contingent who will never rest until she is universally loathed as a clueless idiot. Both sides feed the other.

Yet another liberal telling us what, and what not, to be interested in. Who could have seen that coming?

You're free to move on, bro!

I just find it amusing how Palin fans make these threads, but as soon as a Democrat or any non-conservative posts any criticism about Palin, its screams of "Liberals hounding Palin!" "Democrats won't leave her alone!" "Obsession!"

Just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy.

This is the second thread on the story in this forum (both started by conservatives, for whatever that is worth) and there is one in Current Events.

From the Detroit Free Press:
It's not clear yet whether the 24,199 pages being released will contain any major revelations. They will cover the period from the time she took office in December 2006 to her ascension to vice presidential nominee in September 2008. Requests have been made for e-mails from her final 10 months in office. The state hasn't begun the process of reviewing those yet. Palin resigned partway through her term, in July 2009.

Some e-mails may have been previously reviewed in other, earlier public records requests, such as in the Troopergate investigation, in which Palin was accused of putting pressure on public safety officials to fire her brother-in-law, an Alaska State Trooper who was going through a bitter divorce from Palin's sister.

Clive Thomas, a long-time Palin observer who's writing a book on Alaska politics, said he's not sure what the e-mails will contain — or whether their contents will affect people's perceptions of Palin.

"I guess most people, I think, who don't like Sarah Palin are hoping there's something in there that will deliver the final sort of blow to her (politically)," he said. As for Palin's supporters, he said he doesn't think their opinion of her will be changed regardless of what comes out.

Exactly. Palin puts herself in the public eye and then complains when the media treats her like a celebrity in the public eye.

24,000 pages of Palin e-mails to go through. This is a liberals dream come true. Just think of all the misspellings, the run-on sentences and dangling participles that will bring endless hours of laughter to those arrogant media elites. There seems to be some psychological need on the left to miss no opportunity to cast her in a bad light. It is almost as if they live second hand; that their intelligence is not based upon how smart they are, but how smart they seem in comparison to her. The dumber they make her look, the smarter they think they seem. The trouble is, it doesnt work that way. Just as you dont measure a mans toughness by his ability to take candy from a baby, you dont measure a mans intellect by his ability to outsmart the dumbest guy in the room. The left has made Palin an intellectual punching bag that a yawn could topple over. They take turns swinging away and congratulate themselves on their boxing prowess. Color me unimpressed.

And if they find evidence of corruption? (not saying they will and most likely I think there won't be anything of use in all those emails)

I look forward to the NYT and WaPo recruiting thousands of Obama haters to dig through his records, from the date and place of his birth - wherever that is - and asking their advice on how to spin whatever information they find. I'm sure they'll be running those recruitment pieces any day now.

Senate records are exempt from public records requests. And the date and place of his birth is well established beyond any rational and reasonable doubt.

She is the queen at playing the victim card. And the most ironic thing is her biggest supports scream about how liberals always play the victim.

Hahaha, the media hates Palin with a passion, but yet they are so passionate about Sara. They think about her all the time, can't get her out of there mind.

Ever wonder why theres so much fight agianst Palin, its because our Obama mania media is scared that little ole Sara from Wasilla is gonna beat their beloved dear Barack Hussein Obama

But their obsession with Palin is informing lots of people my age about her and you'd be suprised.... somebody who doesn't talk down to you, who doesn't talk at you.... its rather refreshin round these parts.

Lucky for hm then, because otherwise the NYT and WaPo would certainly be recruiting for a "Get Obama" team.

No it isn't. Look forward to after Obama's term of office is over for libs to go to their next phase: "Too late...but,never again."

There was a whole month were various media outlets decided not to do any Palin stories. February I think, it was fantastic and no one seemed to notice for the outlets that didn't bother with all the needless hype.

Let's have two years of ignoring Obama.
