Palin Protest FAIL in Nevada

*
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Unlike David Plouffe's failed challenge to rally the Obamunists to make his book outsell Sarah Palin's blockbuster memoir even for just a day, which was doomed from the outset, the Left should have been able to pull this one off.

The plan, as laid out by leftist group ProgressNowNevada, was simple enough. All they had to do was turn out a large enough group of protesters at Sarah Palin's book signing event in Reno to grab the attention of the local news media, and it would be a rousing success.

But, thanks to the man made global warming Al Gore warned us about, it was cold out west. Really, really cold. We're not sure exactly how cold it was in Nevada, but we hear that all of the well diggers had their backs to the fire. And speaking of fires, it was cold enough in Reno when the big blue bus rolled into town that ProgressNowNevada couldn't manage to fire up enough lefties to brave the elements and make good theater out of it all. Alas, only about a dozen protesters showed up, and they were mostly ignored by everyone.

According to Write on Nevada:

So in response to one of the Left's most hated (or feared) conservatives, ProgressNow turned out 12 people. And were any of them not paid employees of Progress Now or the Democratic Party?

Contrast this with the 1,000 supporters who showed up to have Palin sign her book for them. Some even camped out overnight in the freezing weather.

[...]

That's right, more people were in line overnight, in freezing temperatures, waiting for Gov. Palin's autograph than ProgressNow could get to come for a (very) brief rally.

Wow. Congratulations, ProgressNow. Way to brave "the elements because the truth matters" and then leave after a few minutes because you got cold. I guess the truth doesn't matter as much if you need to get back to the warmth provided by burning fossil fuels.

Just goes to prove the value of fair weather flacks.

FAIL
