rushmc 23 #155 January 13, 2011 Quote Quote Quote Palin is circling the drain. Just after she claimed that it was absurd that mere talking can be in any way related to violence, she said this: "When you start to accuse people of having the blood of innocent people on their hands, it incites violence." So which is it? Can mere rhetoric incite violence or not? Thanks poster boy You are the leaders of your type I have no choice but to enjoy your misconseptions You really do a disservice to your position by writing so poorly.

billvon 3,116 #158 January 19, 2011 >>Palin is circling the drain. >Is that another one of your predictions . . . ================= In wake of Tucson shootings, Palin sees worst poll numbers of her career By Stephen C. Webster Wednesday, January 19th, 2011 -- 12:21 pm Even as most Americans said they did not believe Fox News employee Sarah Palin was in any way responsible for the recent mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, the former Alaska governor's poll numbers have taken such a significant hit in recent months that they've finally reached the lowest point in her career as a national figure. The woman considered to be the most popular Republican vying for the party's 2012 nomination was rated by respondents to a USA Today/Gallup poll published Tuesday. The polling firm found that Palin's favorable rating has declined to just 38 percent, down from a high of 53 percent when she was first introduced on the national stage by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) during the 2008 presidential campaign. Another key metric, her unfavorable rating, has also eclipsed its prior high, hitting 53 percent in the latest poll, up from 28 percent since the presidential campaigns. . . . When the graphic was first published, amid a highly bitter and often fiction-laden Republican campaign against Democrats' health care reforms, Rep. Giffords criticized her for using firearm images and terminology in her public statements, predicting there would be "consequences." Palin's response was met with a similarly poor reception, when she used the term "blood libel" to describe media coverage of her violent rhetoric following the shootings. "Blood libel" is an antisemitic term with a long history: it was most often used to justify lynching Jews, who were said to have killed children and used their blood in religious rituals. Rep. Giffords happened to be Jewish: a fact likely not considered by Palin's speech writers when they chose the term. It was largely seen as a major PR blunder, and the Anti-Defamation League came out with a demand that she apologize. Instead, Palin defended her use of "blood libel" by offering a new and previously unheard of definition for the term. Her flagging fortunes came at the same time an ABC News/Washington Post poll found that unpopularity ratings for the tea parties -- which were originally founded by supporters of Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) but largely coopted by mainline Republicans and corporate interests -- have also hit an all time high. Fifty-two percent of the US public had an unfavorable view of "the political movement known as the Tea Party," the survey found, as opposed to only 35 percent who approved. The shift may reflect a populace growing uncomfortable with the divisiveness of the tea party's designated leaders, such as former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, Fox News host Glenn Beck, and Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann. ========================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #159 January 19, 2011 Quote The polling firm found that Palin's favorable rating has declined to just 38 percent, down from a high of 53 percent when she was first introduced on the national stage by Sen.

It's pretty bad when you start with a favorable rating of only 53. That's not the kind of number that wins a national election. But it may be unfortunate for the Democrats that this erosion has taken place. Unless she can recover quickly (and that would seem to require her to open her mouth, always dangerous), I don't see how she can even attempt to run for President, so the GOP leadership is probably breathing a deep sigh of relief.
