And of course Palin is stupid...no wait.... she is smart as she is taking over the world.

By feeding on peoples' most base fears and riling them into a fervor over it.

Yeah, that's just fantastic. Or demagogery, depending on your party affiliation.

People don't need to be riled up as the economy sucks and President Obama continues to spend, spend, spend.

You do realize that it is the belief by dems and repubs that we are sinking.  Their is a misery index and that the meter is now lower than when Cater was in office.  I lived thru the Carter presidency and my mother a JFK democrat voted for Reagan.  While you think "nothing to see here..move along

People don't need to be riled up, which is what makes Palin's actions even more deplorable. Instead of focusing her power on a stumbling administration and Congress to drive home a fiscally conservative point, we get insane ramblings about Ground Zero Mosques and Obama's "Christian Nation" comment meant solely to rev people up into a slowly building state of Islamophobia.
