If Sarah Palin had said though that there are 57 states, that Afghans speak Arabic, that Austrian is a language, if she'd mispronounced corps, or if she used a teleprompter in a sixth grade classroom, every liberal in the country would be citing these things as proof of her stupidity. We ALL know this is true. Accordingly, by liberal standards, Obama is an idiot. No other conclusion is possible.

You only damage your own credibility when you make such silly and obviously fallacious pronouncements.....

Neoneocon has your number, you faux sophisticate you: Palin: Out with the ‘In’ Crowd ...... As demonstrated by the incorrect charge about her bracelet, hating Palin is a bonding exercise: a way to signal one's own tasteful judgment. [... to other liberals. They're saying, I'm sophisticated enough too to hate this rube. ] ..... But she has stubbornly exemplified and even embraced rural working class values and patterns of speech. She wears it all with pride, just as she wore the bracelet: the hunting and fishing, the down-home phrases, the salt-of-the-earth values, the work ethic, the devotion to church and family, the playful wink. These things endear her to her supporters, but mark her as a knuckle-dragging Nascar-loving imbecile to her detractors, who remain smug in their superiority. If one watches this YouTube video of some of the recent typically chortling mockery of Palin for writing notes on her hand, it appears evident that the most important function of all of this may be as a bonding exercise, a fail-safe device for those who exhibit it to recognize each other and congratulate themselves on their own excellent taste and judgment. In this way they are signaling that they are part of the cognoscenti, an elevated group with the sense to know — and the boldness to state — that Sarah Palin is beneath them, and beneath all thinking, cultured people. In doing so, they only serve to show their own bigotry, and to further alienate an entire group of voters. But they are either unaware of that fact, or consider it a small price to pay for a chance to demonstrate their own superiority. pajamasmedia.com
