More blogger reaction to Sarah Palin on ObamaCare
Stepping Right Up:
"I tell you what, for a Republican, that according to the liberals and the media is so irrelevant, the liberals cannot stop talking about her. Worse yet, they are even answering to her criticism. Why would anyone do that if they really thought she was that irrelevant?"
Clifton B:
"Sarah Palin is keenly aware of the media’s dislike of her. She knew that by using sharp words in a shocking statement would set the media off on a new onslaught against her. In doing so, the media inadvertently focus the entire nation on the end-of-life provision within HR3200. Once the nation started looking at the concept of government involved in end-of-life decisions, a new image emerged of what government run health care would mean, and the people liked it even less."
Jacksonian Lawyer's Blog:
"Sarah Palin remains firmly on-point in her assessment of Obamacare. Her latest Facebook entry is a true delight to read and is replete with information/footnotes. She has obviously done her homework and the socialists in charge are trying everything they can to silence and/or discredit her..."
FireAndrea Mitchell.com:
"After all the whining from the left wing loons about Sarah Palin’s “death panel” comment, it looks like she might not have been so wrong after all. Obama’s crumbling, the bill is crumbling, the congress is crumbling, so they had to do something. If they think this is going to end the outrage over government controlled healthcare, they are sorely mistaken."
Althouse:
"Why didn't the congressional Democrats defend their own bill? If it was so terribly wrong to say "death panels" — and what indignation was expressed! — then why wasn't it easy to crush stupid, crazy Sarah for what she so outrageously said? By backing down and removing the language she leveraged, they not only seem to admit she had a point, they sacrifice credibility that they need to promote what's left of the bill."
The Stiletto Blog:
"The Stiletto seems to recall pundits across the political spectrum writing Palin off as irrelevant after she voluntarily stepped down from public office in July. Guess they were … what is the word? … wrong."
Politik Ditto:
"If Sarah Palin is an idiot who goes around just making stuff up, then why jettison the 'death panel' language?"
Wake up Black America:
"Did Sarah Palin upstage and overpower Barack Obama? It kind of looks that way. Sarah Palin has become a major player in the health care debate. As Obama's popularity and approval ratings continue to decline, it could spell very bad news for Obama and his loyal flock if Palin sets herself up as the 'Anti Obama'."
Nicholas Contompasis:
"Now I'm starting to understand the power of this women."
Rosita the Prole:
"It is weird that Sarah Palin has gone from Republican governor and a vice-presidential candidate to backwoods freedom fighter.
It is also weird that the same modes of transmission that the Young Iranians have been using to voice dissent against the Iranian regime are being used by our American backwoods freedom fighter. Twitter and Facebook.
Or maybe it is not so weird."
