Sarah Palin gives Oprah biggest audience in two years

Of course they were smart to choose Bush over the self admitted war criminal John Kerry.

they didn't really choose Bush. take a look at the studies being done on the votes in both Bush elections.

you support a man that lied to you and got your troops involved in a conflict because he lied so he could get even for his cry baby father.

lol you seem to wrapped up in believing the lies the government tells you to ever find any truth out there.
 
i am not a progressive. i don't live in the US any longer and she is one of the reasons why. if you people would have her looking like some kind of candidate for anything except a straight jacket i don't want to be there. yikes she is so bad it is scary.

I wonder how many more socialist/progressives she can run out of the country before the next election.
 
i would suppose so. everyone goes to the zoo to gawk at monkeys and Sarah fits the bill pretty well.

wow, someone's got a bad case of Maverick-envy. You're just mad that Sarah Palin is toight like a toiger, and you...you're just some faceless statistic on the interwebs.

MmMmMmMmMm Hmmmmmmm...

You TOLE her!
 
:rofl repeating 4th grade.

You guys can't handle it when your poor wittle Sawah gets made fun of, huh? There there..... :rofl
 
Actually many people tell you exactly why they dislike her. She is not only the antithesis of what many liberals believe socially, but also quite frankly just seems dumb. Just because she has a huge fan base does not make her right. Many people take everything Glenn Beck says as fact, but that certainly doesn't make him a threat to liberals...we just find him (them) unintelligent and ignorant. I, for one, am actually somewhat intimidated by this woman. I am probably one of the few people left of center who believe that she could actually stand a chance if running for national office (we elected Bush twice). To imagine her in power absolutely horrifies me the same way that many on the right are horrified of Obama. I find it very hypocritical however that many on this forum who constantly claim that we on the left worship Obama, while at the same time defend Ms. Palin's every move.

She doesn't seem dumb, she is dumb.
 
I'd hit that.......

Proposal of adultery? I guess James Dobson and Co. are getting kicked out of the GOP tent. :)

Socialists or liberals? Their agendas seem pretty contradictory, as liberalism is based in the perpetuation of capitalism. :confused:
 
Didn't she already say she has no plans to run in 2012? Why are we even having this discussion?

And if she did run, she would lose. She has support but not nearly enough.
 
Seems dumb? Cause her manner of speech is not polished ivy league?

Or was it that one interview?

Joe Biden has said pretty much the dumbest things ever to come out of an elected politicians mouth, yet I don't see you guys giving him **** for it...

When Biden or Dubya or even Dan Quayle says something stupid at least we know what they meant. When Sarah Palin says something stupid she actually means it.
 
Looks like that insignificant nobody that the left insists is a joke, scored Oprah some pretty big numbers in the viewer category.

Must have been a Neilson malfunction or something... Right MSNBC?




.

Sarah Palin is far from insignificant. She's still a very hot topic and obviously has some staying power. I don't think it's nearly enough for her to win if she were to run in 2012, but it is significant. To many on both sides of the political spectrum, she is a joke. I can totally understand why they watched her interview on Oprah. Her fan base obviously watched the interview because they support her and her views. Others most likely watched her because they wanted to see if she'd flub up that interview like she did the Katie Couric one. It's really no surprise that this interview garnered Oprah such incredible ratings.
 
Why do you liberals start all these threads about Palin?

That joke has not gotten old yet :2wave:
 
I’m not a Psychologist but I play one on the Radio. (Okay it’s an old joke and you kind of had to be there)

The Lame Stream Obamedia continues to attack Sarah Palin and they are not smart enough to realize what they are doing. If you are a Granola Liberal pay close attention I won't be helping you out again.
There are two maxims that say: "There is no in no such thing as bad publicity as long as they spell my name right", the other says: "There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary."

Both are extremely accurate except for a few small points in which “Publicity” is much less helpful.
1. You are exposed as a child molester.
2. Your reach a certain level in Government and are shown to be a habitual liar, such as Obama has been with his 158 confirmed and documented lies, ie; Obama WTF: Obama's Documented Lies: 158 and remarkably still growing

If you are an Obama backer I invite to peruse of the above link them rethink your support of this lying rank amateur who "leading you down the garden path", (another old adage) and the rest of the Nation “down the rabbit hole.”

But I digress. Have you notice how every time there is a Lame Stream Obamedia blitz of attacks on Sarah Palin her popularity seems to rise? It's because it cements the feelings of those who support her. Not only that but it makes those who know little about her want to know what all the fuss is about. That is why her appearance on the Oprah TV show drew the biggest audience in two years, even larger than that of Obama. Sarah Palin is drawing near record crowds at her book signings as well.

You would think the Dims (no spell error) would have caught on with the popularity of Rush Limbaugh (not one of my personal favorite) when his controversial antics caused his rates to sky rocket many years ago because of negative press, or they should have seen that with the attacks of pundits falling in to goose step with the White House the attacks on Glenn Beck that have driven his rates through the roof.

Many people are not aware have given little thought as to who is that listen to Rush or watch and listen to Glenn Beck. They most likely believe it’s just Right wing Conservatives and don’t think past that assumption. Fact is a good portion of both of their audiences are Liberals, Moderates, Libertarians and people from all walks of life curious to like they are of Sarah Palin to se what all the fuss is about.

So thank you to the Lame Stream Obamedia for your unflinching inept thinking in the attacks on Sarah that are helping to if not improve in her poll numbers as a future Presidential Candidate are most assuredly helping her to get her Conservatives message across to a vastly larger audience than she otherwise would have had. For that I say SALUTE!

One final point is early on I mentioned my hypothesis that there are two things for which "There is no in no such thing as bad publicity as long as they spell my name right", the other says: "There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary”, do not apply. #2, Your reach a certain level in Government and are shown to be a habitual liar applies to Obama as can be seen in his plunge in his over job approval ratings.

With lady's and gentlemen of the jury I rest my case on this Thanksgiving morning and wish all Americans who are pro-Americans a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Dude, you are off by a week...
 
There have been at least four things that Biden has accomplished in his career which Palin hasn't. Can you name them?

I'll take a shot....

1. Has a daughter that snorted cocaine on video.

2. Failed in two attempts to run for President.

3. Went to law school where he finished 76th in a class of 85.

4. Plagiarized a speech and a paper in college.

How's that??
 
Look, the answer is really simple.

She's a polarizing figure.

Many Liberals dislike her, and enjoy to ridicule her, so are likely to potentially tune in for no other reason than to see if she screws up or if there's something they can use to bash her on later.

Many Conservatives like her, or are intrigued by the negative reaction to her her, so are likely to potentially tune in for no other reason than to see what she says and how she's treated.

Then you have Oprah's normal viewership.

You have a polarizing figure that both sides likes to watch and read/talk about on a popular show. Of course its going to draw big ratings

I don't like the guy but talking about a politicians adult children is a low blow.

Its like saying "OMG Biden's Dog licked its own nuts!!"
Its something he has absolutely no control over.


3. Went to law school where he finished 76th in a class of 85.
Someone had to do it.

I see, but Palin's entire family is fair game?? I guess talking about teen and pre-teen daughters is perfectly ok, but adult daughters are off limits???

Someone had to do it.

You're right, but I wouldn't want them representing me in court and I sure wouldn't want them running the country.


Actually, I had a hard time choosing only four things.

No, I disagree with both, and my record on that speaks for itself.

Why? Did you graduate law school? Grades and rankings mean jack **** to me. Their true knowledge of the law is what matters most, and can only be proven through meeting with the lawyer and talking to them, and seeing how they handle themselves in court. Period.

What they did in law school 20 years earlier means jack and ****.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I wouldn't want a slacker handling by legal affairs and finishing near the bottom of his class is a good indication of his character. Of course, plagiarizing in law school might have contributed to his low standing. But that is also a testament to his character isn't it?

He plagiarized in law school and repeated the offense in 1988 during his presidential bid. I'd say his actions in law school were a good indicator of his actions as an adult.

I don't get how someone RANKING lower (not lowest) among their peers somehow means they are a slacker. If everyone was .001 off of each other in as far as grade points then what does that make your silly little "ranking" ?

I mean, there are plenty of reasons to talk **** about this pipsqueak, I just don't agree with people bringing up a 50-60 year old man's College grades from 20+ years ago as one of them, thats just stupid.

75 people had better grades than him and only 8 were dumber than he was. But you feel free to choose a surgeon that finished in the bottom 2% of his class to operate on you.
 
LOL...just a little perspective here, as a coke head and abused woman garnered 'highest ratings in two years' accolades just a short couple of months ago
September 15, 2009

Monday's 24th season premiere of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" -- which featured a heavily hyped interview with Whitney Houston -- notched an 8.0 rating/12 share in Nielsen's metered market overnight ratings. That's the highest single-day rating for "Oprah" in nearly two years, and up a healthy 45 percent over last season's premiere.

[...]

The lure of Houston talking openly about her drug abuse and marriage to Bobby Brown helped "Oprah" do best in Houston's one-time home city of Atlanta, where Winfrey's show earned a 10.6 rating. Winfrey more than doubled her year-to-year premiere ratings in New York, while improving by 73 percent and 85 percent in LA and Chicago, respectively.


Oprah Ratings Soar Thanks to Whitney Chat | The Wrap

The billionaire Oprah gives credence to P. T. Barnum's phrase "There's a sucker born every minute"


But please continue with your infatuation with Peggy ...er...Sarah...LOL

If the surgeon went to school 25 years ago, and had been successful since, then it would not bother me what his grades where. Some people just like to find things to bitch about.
