She used that word again in the Hannity interview |
|
"Exceptional" to describe America. That was not on accident.
Once of those special code words for the Cheneyite/neo-cons who vote in GOP primaries and the think tankers at AEI, Heritage and PNAC.

2. It's obvious she rehearsed her answers. |
|
This is absolute manipulation with an attempt to redeem her.

7. +1000 hers is more the eschatological and far scarier meaning, than |
|
The civic, neocon, meaning.

5. Geez, why are you even giving her ratings? |
|
I swear, if it isn't for the 'Pugs keeping Palin in the spotlight, it's Dems.

11. I think Martin Luther King day (& every day) is the perfect time to criticize hate speakers. |

13. I have nothing against criticizing hate speakers, |
|
What I'm wondering is why people, especially on the left, watch what this woman does, listens to what she has to say, talk about her, give her ratings, attention, cachet that she doesn't deserve. People get all hyped up all the time about what Palin is doing or saying, giving her attention, which is what she thrives on, good, bad or ugly attention. It is still attention that she needs to keep her balloon afloat.
Take away that attention, and her world deflates and she goes back to being the scourge of Wasilla, and only Wasilla.

16. I don't agree. Leave her alone and she continues waving her hate wand wherever she goes. It's like |
|
leaving David Duke and George Wallace alone.

6. Couldn't stomach listening to much of it, but once again, "it's not about me," |
|
"it's not just me," "they won't shut me up," "I won't shut up and sit down," me, me, me...

12. american exceptionalism |
|
is the modern equivalent of manifest destiny or social darwinism. it refers to america's inherent right to dominate others. "we are better and stronger than everyone else; therefore, we must impose our model on all those we meet". palin is not the only politician to invoke this image.

15. It's the preferred term to rationalize rightwing hypocrisy. Almost certainly given to her. |
