To any Republicans reading DU, regarding Sarah Palin:

[NewJeffCT]

If your candidate cannot face a few tough remarks on some liberal blogs, how can she be expected to face Al Qaeda, Iran or Russia?

[NJmaverick]

1. Oh snap!

Do you suppose Putin and Al Qaeda are afraid of being taken to task by the Free Republic?

[yellowcanine]

2. Pretending to be a Republican so that I can retort, "She has already faced Russia for 2 years as

governor and you notice that Russia has not launched an invasion across the Bering Strait.

[NewJeffCT]

3. Nor did they in any of the 50 years before that

maybe the Wasilla police officer scared them off?

[Chulanowa]

21. I love the "Alaska is next to Russia!" bit

Alaska's actually near Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Basically Russia's version of an Indian reservation. The main feature of the Okrug? Elgygytgyn Lake

Betcha can't say that one five times.

22. "Yeah, you know them goddam Commies could just walk over in the winter

...but there afraid of Sarah, 'cuz that girl knows how to use an AK-47!

6. Hit em with the truth.....honestly, this country is in peril, mcbush has proven

he doesn't have what it takes to stand firm, a maverick??? No, this man does what he is told and this vp pick proves she is NOT to be trusted...if people dont' believe her involvement with alaska seceding the us will hurt them or their children in the future they are not paying attention and she is clearly for alaska seceding our great country..she is in fact a traitor...

7. but hey..what if there is a mass Moose attack ?

9. Oh and I forgot to add, thank you for donating to du, we know you did...

10. PMFJI, but what prompted this question?

What did Palin do or not do that you think she should have not done or done?

[NewJeffCT]

13. Aren't all the Republicans whining about

how some liberal blogs are attacking poor helpless Sarah Palin?

[slackmaster]

15. I hadn't noticed anything like that

But I don't read much Republican literature.

Even if they are, what does that have to do with whatever Palin herself was supposed to do or not do?

[NewJeffCT]

17. Joe Scarborough, Bill O'Reilly and other RWers

have been on the warpath about DailyKos, wonkette and others and how their comments about poor Sarah Palin are mean.

[slackmaster]

19. I ask one more time, what does that have to do with the question posed in the OP?

"If your candidate cannot face a few tough remarks on some liberal blogs, how can she be expected to face Al Qaeda, Iran or Russia?"

What prompted the question? I don't watch teevee all day like some DUers. Help me out here!

:shrug:

[NewJeffCT]

23. well, that is my question

Guys like Scarborough, O'Reilly, etc, get their marching orders from Rove and company. If they shrieking about some posts on DailyKos and Wonkette, it means that somebody told them to start lambasting liberal blogs in order to put Obama and other Democrats on the defensive and to get the liberal blogs to lay off Palin and take the heat off of her.

So, the point is, that if Republicans are up in arms over a few blog posts questioning Palin and demanding Obama denounce them, what will happen when she has to deal with real issues, like Al Qaeda, Russia and Iran? Are Fox & Friends going to demand Ayman al-Zawahiri stop criticizing McCain & Palin?

It is also in response to what Fox said about Democrats not going on Fox News - I believe it was Roger Ailes that said that if Democrats are afraid to face Fox News, how can they face Al Qaeda?

[slackmaster]

25. So we don't actually know what HER reaction has been to the blogs

Thanks.

[Erin Elizabeth]

12. NO KIDDING.

Republicans are big wimps.

[Jax]

18. What Erin said!!!!

[whatchamacallit]

14. Maybe the republicans will unleash an army of campaign advisors and pundits to shame them to death

All the indignation is just a typical repuke control mechanism. They guilt us down.

[katandmoon]

16. No kidding! Not to mention -- if Joe Biden has to go easy on her in debates so as not to appear

To be beating up on her, what does that say about her ability to be a strong leader?

[Liberal Dose]

20. Al-Caribou is quaking in their boots.

I apologize to the DUer who coined the phrase al-Caribou. I cannot remember your name but every time I think it, I :rofl:

[texanwitch]

24. That is great.

:rofl:
