So many people read my Philadelphia Daily News column about Sarah Palin yesterday (it was one of the most-read opinion pieces at philly.com) and it generated a huge number of comments both at the Daily News and at Lucianne.com where it also appeared.
Here is a cross section of unedited comments about the column -- and about me:
Palin is definitely unqualified. She's got no community organizing experience.
Usually, I agree with you Dan, but this time I disagree. Sarah Palin can talk to middle America, and she can energize the Republican Party like none of the other candidates. To say that Hillary Clinton is Presidential is to ignore the fact that she is a blatant liar. We have had too many of those in the White House.
Palin is so stubborn in her stupidity that she is still insisting (on her Fox-only appearances) that she is right about Paul Revere. Stop defending this idiot. You should be shaming and shunning her for the betterment of the world. She is permanently ruining the Republican brand (further than Bush has).
My theory: John McCain brought this 75 IQ out of oblivion and set it loose on the rest of the world because he knew that he already did his time in hell in a VC POW camp. I was hoping if we ignored it, it would go away and take its offspring with it.
The thought of Sarah Palin with her hand on 'that button' is far and away the scariest thought I've ever had.
I grew up in Philadelphia and currently live in its suburbs. The Daily News is train/el reading material, i.e. quick and lightweight coverage of mostly local new with lots of sports talk and always only half-a-step away from a trash can. Mr. Cirucci sounds like a faux conservative trying to build up his street cred with the big-time Journ-O-listas who try to maim Palin. While sometimes repetition is an effective smear tactic, sometimes it boomerangs. Lately the boomerangs have been laying out their throwers quite nicely--especially when Sarah has been the primary target. The woman is remarkable.
Spot on and describes her exactly. Not for prez, not ever.
Daniel, Daniel. From what I see, Sarah has been heading for higher office from the day she resigned in a gutsy move to save the Alaska taxpayers and herself from the burdensome costs of fighting multiple frivoulous lawsuits. She just didn't send you the memo. Everything she has done since then has been purposeful and orderly. What has any other potential cnadidate done in the past 2 years to promote the greatness of American and address the significant distructive policies coming from Obama?
Dopey Dan must have missed her Fox News Sunday interview.
Dear Dan, You write like a high-schooler.
The writer admits: I'm quite conservative and actually agree with you on a number of issues facing the nation and the world. But style is more important to him than substance. And her critics say she's stupid! I say, RUN, SARAH, RUN!
Hillary is presidential, but Palin is not? And this author claims to be a conservative? Palin is a "polarizer"? Hey dummy! That is the point! We need to be polarized! You don't compromise with stupidity, you defeat it! This is a liberal who thinks he is something else. Disregard anything he says.
Dear Sarah: Just say yes! You are the only one with balls!

Whether you love Sarah Palin or hate her, give her this much - she knows how to get people to pay attention to her. That probably won't be enough to get her elected President, but it will (if it hasn't already) make her a very wealthy and influential individual.
