People seriously pay for Palin's ignorance?

9. I'm going to tell you all something

I know 3 poeople who think this woman is the smartest, insightful, "tell it like it is" sage that ever was. Not because they analyzed her words, ran them by empirical evidence, let alone used critical thinking, but because they are just like the types you described above.

Of those 3:

Two of them are conservative ideologues and basically employ the "she's on our side, so she must be smart and must be right about everything, so that's that!" logic

One is a paranoid gun nut and that she was a lifetime member of the NRA while running for the vice presidency was a good enough reason for him

Say even the most tactfully, cleverly worded derision of her, and they'll all give you a tensed jawed, balled fist, hissing respose as though you just pissed in the holy water of their churches.

There's something wrong with these people.

I'm related to one of them; the other two are/were long time friends.

She's a walking wedge issue beyond belief.
