There are a lot of people on the internet whose main goal seems to be to say silly and outrageous things just so that the public will pay attention to them. Ann Coulter in one such media hustler. Sarah Palin is another. The logical thing to do is to ignore them and deny them the visibility they so clearly crave and usually I do just that. But sometimes the things they say are so funnily mockable that I bend the rules.

Or mean and vicious things. Or wacko things.
Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, Rush Limpbaugh, Breitbart, Tucker Carlson, and any number of minor fundie xian ministers hustling the marks for easy money.
Oddly enough, almost all of these seem to be rightwingnuts and/or christofascists.
Coulter is a deplorable human being, but she’s content to stay in the entertainment world. Palin is so stupid she believes she belongs in the White House. It’s quite frankly terrifying that the Republican machine thought it was a good idea for her to get within one shove-down-the-stairs from becoming POTUS.
Katydid:
This is why, in spite of the many ignorant or downright hateful things she has said, I don’t think this:
is true in Palin’s case.
