Speaking of Sarah Palin...

Do you think Obama sold more copies of "Dreams from My Father" before or after he became a national figure?

Again, how is Avatard assisting any of that? Because he clicks on a CNN article, thus informing CNN that they should keep running Sarah Palin articles? Or by posting messages on a motorcycle board that probably only has 200-300 members, only 40-50 of whom read the political threads? That's a stretch.

Not really a stretch at all. One person or 300, the scale doesn't matter. You can't really bitch about the media focusing on someone when you feed the machine by clicking on (or posting) their link. They see hits, they're gonna run with similar content.

I'm guessing that after poring through all of her emails in excruciating detail, the people will come away feeling that she is a stupid, petty little woman, and after looking her up and down, in and out, they will tire of her. I think this 1,000,000.00X magnified look at this woman is going to perhaps over-expose her extensively, and for good, and everyone will at long last lose all fascination with her.

It isn't much of a stretch. There are a ton of people just like Avatard who hate her so much they pay attention to every little thing she does. Throw whoever you want out there, Paris Hilton, the Jersey Shore morons, Lindsay Lohan, it doesn't really matter. Every time someone says "Why the hell do they cover" throw in whatever name you want the answer is because it drives traffic, viewers, or listeners. It doesn't matter if that behavior is because people love that person or hate that person, the reason is the same.

They (people who dislike her including much of the media) have spent the last three years poring through every other aspect of her life in excruciating detail and already feel "she is a stupid, petty little woman". The fact that they are "poring through all of her emails in excruciating detail" in an attempt to demonstrate what they already firmly believe makes me think they will not tire of her anytime soon.

You've mistaken me for someone else. I really could give a flying fuck about the woman outside of the lulz she provides. I can't say I don't find the absurdities funny...I do.

So simple, yet apparently so fucking hard to understand.

And the only people who would even bother sifting through thousands of her emails from years ago are these people who are 'so damn tired of her'...

Unfortunately I think you are wrong here. Look how annoying that dipshit Beiber is and his fucking ass just won't go away. This will just make people want to know more about this stupid cunt. That only good news is, not enough people would actually vote this bitch in office thank god.

The media will report on 24K of Palin's emails, but we can't get transcripts, articles written, or even anyone who taught or attended high school and college with the President to step forward and say they knew him when
