Wingnut Boswell Dave Weigel is feeling the wrath of Sarah Palin’s White Trash ALL CAPS! Army and he is trying to reason with them:
I have trouble understanding anyone who doesn’t get the joke here, but I have trouble, generally, understanding the status Palin has for her fans. Maybe I don’t want to understand it. Many of the people who wrote me pine for the death of the media, and they do so because they are angry that a politician they like is covered critically. I would encourage them to think harder about this impulse.
Hahahahaha. “think harder”. That is so adorable.

Can someone please help me lift this windmill so I can carry it for Dave? He seems to think that he’ll make some headway with people who believe Jesus is also a part-time real estate agent who will make sure that the devil house will never be suitable for human habitation again.
Poor Dave.
Thinking requires an actual brain as opposed to unorganized clusters of neural ganglia.
Think different?
I know Dave’s just trying to be a responsible journalist and all that (“I would encourage them…”) but, really, he should just tell them to fuck off.
I have to give Weigel credit here – this is an excellent slam on Palin’s idiotic fans. Sure, he reins it in a little at the end, but I love it.
And I think the “encourage them to think” bit is pure sarcasm. He knows full well how bone stupid they are.
You can lead a Palin horticulture, but you can’t make them think.

I once lectured my vacuum cleaner about taking on more responsibility. I asked if it could plug itself in and maybe clean the place while I went out on the deck and had a few cocktails. Damn thing just sat there and stared at me.
that must have… sucked.
RWS, your diabolical, subliminable advertising and phrase placement campaign has finally paid off:

I hope you’re happy now.
“Thinking harder” for that crew means getting the hamsters inside their heads to run a little harder on their little wheels.
Well, the WaPo currently has two less than flattering Sarah op-eds up (in addition to Weigel’s). I guess that means we can look forward to new a “Palin-penned” editorial in those august pages soon.
That’s a cool article, and fascinating development.
I’d be happier if somebody paid me for my contribution…
Not only is it adorable, it’s quaint. The ALL CAPS crowd have been unfettered by reality for quite some time now. I trust Mr Weigel isn’t shocked by this foreseeable occurrence.
“I would encourage them to think harder about this impulse.”
And once again, Weigel shows he is totally removed from reality, although in a different way than the teabaggers…
“Think harder would be analgous to “run harder.” The Palinites are already on the wrong road. Telling them to “think (run) harder” would just send them further down that wrong road.
Come on, the Second Coming of Reagan” is to be worshiped and every utterance from her mouth/facebook page engraved on Mt. Rushmore.

If I was Todd and fellow neighbors I would pull a union tactic every time Joe was at his rental.
Have a meeting to talk about it? Negotiate collectively to establish fair wages, a strong and fully funded pension and health plan, and insure a safer
working environmentneighborhood?Ummm… Register people to vote?
Dunno, I’m at a loss here.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
FRIGGIN BATS JUST DONT GET IT FOR YEARS WE BEEN LOOKIN FOR OUR OWN SPECIAL ALTERNATIVE TO PORN NOT ONLY DO WE EXERCISE OUR WRISTS ON SARAHS FACEBOOK PAGE, SHE MAKES US FEEL BETTER ABOUT BEING AHEM ‘SELF RELIANT’ IN ALL PHASES OF OUR REPUBLICAN LIFESTYLE. GAWD SHE IS HAWT HAWT HAWT AND SHES GOT THAT SCHOOLMARM THING GOING TO ADD JUST THE RIGHT TOUCH OF NAWTY IF I DIDNT DAWG UP ON SARAH I WOULDNT GET NO EXERCISE AT ALL
Only slightly OT: did anyone else catch the fact that Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Vaughn Ward did him no good in the Idaho primary? The count currently has his opponent, Raul Labrador up 46.3 t0 39.9. The Dems would be well advised to negotiate a wholesale price with Palin to have her endorse as many Repugs as possible this Fall.
Damn! That’s what I heard squeaking…. hamster wheels.
