Palin's Fans

Dana Milbank in the Washington Post:

Barack Obama, she told 8,000 fans at a rally here Monday afternoon, "launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist!" This followed her earlier accusation that the Democrat pals around with terrorists. "This is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America," she told the Clearwater crowd. "I'm afraid this is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country." The crowd replied with boos...

...Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."
Wow. Just wow. "Sit down, boy?" Palin is really bringing out the best in her crowds.

How stupid do you have to be to think Palin's abysmal performance in the CBS interview was because of Couric? I really don't understand how the question: "what magazines do you read?" is too tough for the future Vice President:

All I can say is ignorance at its best! In 2008 no less. Sad.

That Post article really, really pissed me off. And the target of my ire was Sarah Palin. She's a sleeze.
