What is it that you have done to make the nation a better place?
Have you ever willingly subjected yourself and your views to national scrutiny by the msm "journalists" who have no problem making fun of anyone they dislike or don't know personally?

What a bunch of crap! You forgot to add this from your link:
This list of purported "Marxist" quotes by former first lady, senator, presidential candidate, and secretary of state Hillary Clinton is (like many collections of utterances from various political figures) difficult to rate as strictly "true" or "false": She did make the statements reported above, but they have all been stripped of any explanatory context, and some of them had portions elided, creating potentially misleading impressions about the nature of those statements. Below we verify the source and complete wording of each statement on this list and provide the context in which it was made. (All of these entries date from between 2004 and 2007, during which time Hillary Clinton represented the state of New York in the U.S. Senate.)

Let's take the first one, for example. She was speaking to a group of wealthy democrats on repealing the Bush tax cuts to get the economy back on track: In context, it reads:
"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

You really should read your entire source before posting something.
PS. This thread is about Sarah Palin, not Hillary Clinton.
He conned these people into investing in a franchise that he knew they could not make money off of, and when the going got tough Doug Ducey got going...along with a nice bonus.
...
This franchise is nothing but a pyramid scheme aimed at taking advantage of hard working individuals with entrepreneurial spirits.

...
Yes attitude is everything but when someone comes in and intentionally feeds you lie after lie with docs to back it up, it then constitutes FRAUD… Most of us have been devastated by these unscrupulous vultures and it may not be in this life but they will answer for it, hopefully & prayerfully it will be in this life and I want to be there when it happens.

a) context is everything
b) you may not agree with what she is saying, but it appears to be presented in coherent sentences, and
c) if you actually read the snopes page that you are citing, it totally validates my comment 'a'
Sorry Dude...massive fail.

Sarah Palin is defined by how close she is to the socialist outlook. She is socialist enough to be in national politics.

Was that a Freudian slip of some sort? If this is your attempt at bringing your discussion back on track, you failed again. Maybe you really don't like Palin as much as you claim. Putting down other women in politics does not negate Palin's obvious ignorance and lack of ability to lead anything.

I say GREAT idea. Let Palin be the face of a new political party. I say let the Tea Baggers break clean of the Republican party. Let them create their own caucus, allowing the more reasonable Republicans to not be held hostage within their own party. Let them allow the reasonable Republicans to no longer pretend that compromise is a dirty word. Best of all though, with a third party caucus, it would effectively give the majority of the house back to the Democrats.
Do it Sarah, pretty please with sugar on top. In fact, I triple dog dare you.

You see, when Hillary Clinton or Warren runs, we will be able to be just as critical of them as the leftists were of Palin. Palins' critics set the bar, so to speak.

See - I think this is interesting...why Clinton or Warren as examples? Because they're women? Why not offer up a man as an example?
I often wonder if conservatives see this kind of thing as being more about tit for tat - and that women are nothing more than a novelty act on the political stage
Instead of drumming up support for or choosing the best possible choice for VP - they went with Palin
If Palin fails in the political arena, and people criticize her - it's because she's a woman. So - attack the Democrats women
Pelosi sucks just as much as Palin in your eyes - apples to apples - oranges to oranges...
How come if Palin sucks you don't pick on Biden?
Funny - people aren't criticizing Palin because she's a girl. Her gender isn't part of the equation

Race, gender, age, should not be subject to debate.
But the leftists have shown all of us that race, gender are part-and-parcel of debate.
NOW wouldn't even stand up in her defense.
People have made it their obsession to comment wrongly on Palin's IQ, her children, her gender.
It should only be about the issues.

I disagree. If a person is a hypocrite, ignorant, a liar, sneaky... that is ALL up for criticism.

When/if Clinton and/or Warren run for office, their policies should be subject to debate. Any attempt to obfuscate from that topic by crying about sexism or gender inequality should be met with a size 12 firmly up the butt.

I know that. You're the one that seems to think you aren't "allowed" to criticize anyone on the left. That's all in your head. In fact, you have done so MANY, MANY times. Yet you play the victim... I don't get it. Obama and his administration have been HIGHLY criticized for everything under the sun, real or imagined, and you have been at the top of the heap. And here, you act as though you haven't been allowed or won't in the future. That's crazy-talk!
Cognitive dissonance much?
