Here is a summary that I feel compelled to share with you. I am only the messenger and you can draw your own conclusion. It is important that Socialist Libtards like the Far Right Wing Nuts post factual information that is both Fair and Balanced such as this article.
E. Thomas McClanahan from the Kansas City Star writes:
The Wall Street Journal editorial page has taken Sarah Palin to task for her overreaction to Michelle Obama’s campaign against childhood obesity. This is not only notable by itself, but it has sparked similar criticism from other conservative sources. It’s interesting that she’s drawing this kind of fire from my fellow righties.
Palin, the Journal writes, sees a big government plot in Mrs. Obama’s campaign. On her reality show, she served her family “smores,” saying, “This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert.”
The Journal editorial drew echoes from a couple of the writers over at Commentary magazine’s blog, Contentions, including former Bush staffer Peter Wehner, who pointed out that Palin’s hip-shooting reaction could undermine the case for smaller government.
Wehner: “Mocking the First Lady and portraying her anti-obesity campaign as several steps on the Road to Serfdom is exactly the type of thing that will turn the public against the legitimate efforts by conservatives to rein in the reach and scope of government. Ms. Palin might consider this before she takes yet another unfair shot at Mrs. Obama.”
A few days earlier, there was a shot from another writer at Contentions, Jonathan Tobin, who noted her gratingly defensive response to columnist Charles Krauthammer’s remark that her reality show appearances are unpresidential. Palin’s reaction: “Oooh. Sorry that I’m not so hoity-toity.”
In Palin’s defense, Michelle Obama has gone much farther than merely urging parents to provide healthy food for their kids, as when she blurted out, “We can’t just leave it up to the parents.” This isn’t mentioned in The Journal editorial. Still, the point of the piece was valid: Palin overreacted, and in the process raised even more doubts among those (such as myself) who don’t believe she’s electable.
She is indeed a polarizing figure. Surveys show that up to 60 percent of respondents say they wouldn’t even consider voting for her. It’s also evident that she’s becoming a polarizing figure even on the right.

Makes me think of GF and his abnormal fixation on Palin. It must a sad and lonely time in the world of left wing nuts that they lay awake at night worrying about Palin.....it would be comical if it weren't so sad but it does give them something to do when they get bored of surfing the internet looking for free stuff and illegal music downloads. I guess we can be grateful for that.....
Gee, I wonder what Sarah is doing with her millions right now?

Gee, I wonder what Sarah is doing with her millions right now? She's laughing all the way to the bank at the Wing Nuts buying her books, standing inline for her signature, watching her tv show, and teasing all her supporters about running for Pres. She ain't no fool.

She certainly is no fool but, methinks you and your liberal minions are. Such an obsession. Really hard to comprehend.

Now that is funny. I have never bought one of her books. Never saw the TV show. Never stood in line to meet her. I will state again, many conservatives may admire her and agree with her but we admire and agree with many conservatives. But the left is abnormally obsessed with her....almost dangerously so. I really think it is that she represents the exact opposite of liberal and feminist orthodoxy and appears to be happy and successful doing so. They just can't stand it because they adhere to that orthodoxy so stridently and they are so unhappy and unsuccessful.....
