Palin Wins Again
by ChicagoSwan
Wed Jan 12, 2011 at 02:18:17 PM PST

On a day set aside for memorializing the victims of the Tucson shooting, Palin has successfully stolen the news cycle, yet again, with more of her blithering, narcissistic idiocy.

She is so loathed by those on the left, including diarists and front-pagers on this very site, that they cannot help themselves from reacting to her every provocation. (In my defense, this Palin diary is meta.)She is so loved by her supporters (or so feared by her fellows), that she is lauded for her bravery and willingness to speak uncomfortable truths. Yeah.

Love her or hate her, Sarah Palin has one goal: attention. She clearly relishes the role of the victim, whether it's mockery of her ignorance of the Bush Doctrine, mockery of her "all of them" response to a simple Katie Couric question, mockery of her crib notes scrawled on her hand, or any of 1000 other mock-able moments, Palin almost always wins the news cycle.

Today was supposed to be for the victims

Christina Green, 9

Gabe Zimmerman, 30

Phyllis Schneck, 79

Dorwin Stoddard, 76

Dorothy Morris, 76

John Roll, 63

Sarah Palin's greatest offense today, in my opinion, is usurping this day from the victims. She didn't do it alone, though. I helped. You did too, probably.

Let's stop talking about Sarah Palin and remember the victims of the tragedy.

1. We could help turn that around by not talking about her

Her statement was worth an hour's worth of postings this morning, but we could do ourselves and the country a favor by deciding not to speak about her. Not to think about her.

We don't need to counter her ridiculous spewings: nobody in the country is swayed by them except for those who already 'believe' in her, and there's no changing minds of that capacity.

The Sarah Palins of the world thrive on attention. Deprive them of that attention, and they melt (like the Wicked WItch of the West).

There are probably 300 posts (if not more) on the single topic of Sarah Paliln's 'blood libel' statement here. Is that really necessary? I say we give her the cold shoulder, ignore her, and in so doing write her out of history.

2. well I can do more than one thing in a day, but point taken

5. She's trolling..

...not a board, or a blog's comments, but an entire country.

DU knows from trolls...and she's just a troll.

8. "She's trolling....an entire country"

So true.

6. Sarah didn't win

What this says is that everyone except the media should stop talking about Sarah.

The media is not going to stop.

Buchanan thinks she's brilliant.

Mitchell thinks she's Presidential.

Tweety thinks she's a victim of ignorance.

I'm glad the Internet is making noise. Without it, the media would simply do what they've always done: promote her and her nonsense as the counter point, creating the perception that her lunacy is a valid counter point to rational thinking.

7. I'm not sure site and country wide scorn,

and critisism, and disdain of her irresponsible words and actions, is much of a win.

By her own timing, she just tanked.
