Palins Alaska not only a political commerical but an attack on the long term unemployed

[Peacetrain]

I watched this piece of crap again tonight, just to see what TLC is promoting. It was an hour of how hard working they are as a family.. from dawn to dusk.. 18 hours a day.. and in the fish muck..how they teach their kids to work hard.. even making a reference to Trig, how he will learn to work hard.

My Momma did not raise any fools.. that is just fuel for the right to deny any more benefits to the long term unemployed..

The meme from their side is that unemployment benefits make people lazy and not want to work.

Even if you refuse to watch that show.. catch just a few minutes of it.. and you will see what I mean.

They are messaging big time

1. "Alaska Spoiled" should be the title of that garbage

[Arctic Dave]

2. Work hard? Dude, Todd was a board operator.

The hardest thing those motherfuckers do in a day is decide what to have for lunch.

[Crazy Dave]

3. Can't even watch the commercials

It's probably like the cooking shows. The host rarely cooks and off camera there's support staff and producers who do all the work.

4. she's so full of shit...

"worked hard" at attending 5 different colleges because she couldn't commit to "working hard." She's a joke:eyes:

[GoCubsGo]

15. Yep. I actually DID work long days in muck.

And, in the middle of South Carolina summers, to boot. One look at her is all a person needs to know just how full of shit she really is.

[Clio the Leo]

5. Well SHE is working hard!!!

..... selling books ....... I dont begrudge her the money, but you're right .... she's NOW living a lifestyle afforded to her by fame ... not hard work alone.

6. and the idiots will eat that bs right up--I doubt that the entire family together works 18

hours in a day.

and let's see--running around the country on speaking tours, etc.. really, grifter, try another line, that one is pure BS

[HipChick]

7. As governer she was so missing from her job all the time..

That a "Where's Sarah?" campaign was started...she's so full of BS

[Vinca]

8. At the same time her sappy show was on, we flipped onto another

channel that featured Alaska State Troopers. I don't know how it happened, but I watched several episodes and the overwhelming theme seems to be substance abuse - especially alcoholism - among the native Alaskans. The unemployment rate is ridiculously high and apparently they literally drown their sorrows. Wonder how often old Sarah thinks of them.

9. Why are you adding to her ratings?

Why are you pumping up this half term loser? Don't you get it, she is only a threat to the extent that we make her one, and this endless obsessing by folks around here only pumps up her sorry self.

The best thing you could do about Palin is to simply ignore her, and let her and her family fade from view.

[olegramps]

10. I agree. I refuse to support this two-bit hillbilly family of trash. Boycott her and her sponsors

[Hippo_Tron]

16. Unless you have a Nielsen box installed you're not adding to her ratings

[MadHound]

17. Umm, there are many more quicker and accurate ways of gaging a show's ratings

Nielsen is being kept around for its show value now. The real ratings information is being gathered directly from your cable or satellite box. Do you honestly think that those overnight ratings on programs are generated from Nielsen? They're not. Nielsen ratings are being kept around simply not to freak out people that their viewing habits are being directly monitored.

18. You have a link to any of that?

[southernyankeebelle]

11. Palin is a liar. Her family is made up of druggies and boozers. She can't control her kids. The

show is nothing but lies. Even the people in her town know she is a known liar. Don't fall for her shit. Don't believe she actually gets out on the boat and shoots guns. She never worked a full day even as governor. They say she would leave by 3 to go home to catch the soaps on tv and read all the hollywood mags. You know the ones she is obsessed with. You know how she is lying? When she is openning her book.

[Major Hogwash]

12. So far it has just been a 2 year nonstop commercial for why McCain/Palin lost in 2008.

I can't wait for Palin fatigue to set in for the rest of those folks.
For me, it was on election night when she wanted to give a concession speech, but McCain turned out the lights while she was still on the stage.

[Peacetrain]

13. This is the most to the heart of the matter comment I have read in days!

You hit that one right out of the park :thumbsup:

[Mz Pip]

14. It's also a non-stop commercial

about her. She's already a household name, like Clorox or Drano. These shows are ads to soften the market for her next step.

Thing is all the ads that Nutmeg paid for with her own money, telling people what she thought they want to hear about her didn't get her the governorship. I can only hope the general population of this country will see all this Palin bullshit for what it is - advertizing.
