Palin intellectually doesn't understand.

It depends on the remark and the level of accountability but the issue WAS the equality of the accountability not whether or not they should be held accountable and whether or not the left is as hard on it's own as it is on conservatives

Businesswise, I am reminded of the Imus situation. From what I remember, his last faux pas was not his first. I was glad to see Imus lose sponsorship.

Would you have been glad to see Jackson lose his job too?

When Dr. Laura lost her sponsorships, it wasn't without reason. Some stuff are so over the top that no one wants to be connected to it. Can you blame them?

You're confusing the point now. The point was about reciprocity not whether or not the evil conservatives should have lost sponsers.....

(3) Palin earned her image problem during the Barbara Walter interviews and the other occasions when she opened her mouth when the nation's eyes were on her and she looked stupid. That's her fault.

And what did she do on the Barbara Walters interview that made her look stupid? Isn't look stupid sort of subjective? I mean I think you look rather stooopid at times but I have no doubt that you are an intelligent yet misguided man

(4) This thread is (partially) about Palin and her image problem. You have defended her in stating that it is not her fault that she has an image problem.

Where did I say "it's not her fault that she has an image problem"? I believe the topic was her intelligence not a perceived image problem

(5) You misspelled category.

You misspelled business-wise, but I don't think that makes you look stoooopid but Codie might think so...

(6)

I am hypocritical and I don't criticize the left when they are over the top.

Since you know me so well, give me examples of my hypocrisy. Give me an example of defending hate from the left.

(7) Some of us stand to be blamed. Hopefully, this national discussion will cause us to correct ourselves.

I accept your public confession, go and be thou healed
