Y'all have probably seen this, but I'm posting it for historical purposes. It's bizarre enough to sum up Palin's run for national office.

*For anyone who doesn't know, she made the traditional trip out to a turkey farm to "pardon" a Thanksgiving turkey. Then she gave an interview -- oblivious her turkey's less fortunate mates getting decapitated in the background.

It's staging an interview in an abattoir, and showing up at a slaughterhouse in above-the-knee skirt, stiletto pumps and Burberry scarf. Evidently, this pardon deal is a "presidential" act that she decided to adopt this year. God, she's dumb as a bag of hammers.
p.s.: It was 11-degrees.

Psych subject
Well, I called my teenage daughter into the office here, to see the clip, but she'd already seen it. Seems it drew some guffaws up on the SmartBoard in her high school psych class today!
Carmen just shook her head and muttered "It's good that she (Palin) will be separated from society up there..."
Best Palin moment. Ever.
All I could think of was Dan Aykroyd and the Bass-O-Matic. And I think the camera crew embraced it as a gag, unbeknownst to Governor Ignoramus, because they framed both speaker and turkey grinder equally in a wide shot for the entire piece.
What could this woman possibly have been thinking--all the while demagoguing with crap like gas prices "that everyone knew" would plunge? (WTF!?) Another Leghorn-ism: "...about as sharp as a bowling ball." Hopefully this clip will have a long life for whenever this woman comes back down to try to advance her political career.

My point is: What's your
My point is: What's your point? Why are you here?
Let's see here now as to how
Let's see here now as to how to answer this question since at least seven other posts have been deleted. First, it is on the Internet and I don't see any warning signs that restrict entry to the site. Second, here in America, the last time I checked there is free speech and that allows for really good debate about important issues. Third, there is not one side only that rules in a debate. Fourth, I have nothing to fear from engaging those who may be on opposite sides of the belief about an issue than I am, so I try to interact with them.
You know, what this site should do, and I am serious here and leaving aside any cute little sayings to prove it, is to post a warning sign that you only desire people of the same kind as the members here or restrict it like other sites do.
Free speech
You make a common mistake about freedom of speech -- assuming it applies to a private owned and run forum.
It does not. The First Amendment restricts government action, not private action. For instance, if someone came into my house, and started making racist remarks, I could ask them to stop. If they continued, I could ask them to leave. Their free speech is not violated, because its my property.
This forum is, essentially, someone's "house". They have every right to say you're not welcome here.
Also, not only are you not a registered user, you're just using the name "Nobody", which I believe is what the software defaults to. So, continuing my analogy above, you're just standing outside the windows of this house, hiding in the bushes, randomly yelling out your comments on conversations you overhear.

TV show about Alaska?
What was the name of that TV show that was on a few years ago? It was about the urban doctor that had to go to Alaska to pay off his med school debts. Instead of going to Anchorage or Juenuo he wound up in a small town in the middle of nowhere trying to deal while all the unique (and some down right bat-shit crazy) locals. Anybody remember that show?
It seems to me that Sara Palin almost comes out of central casting for that show. I say almost because you just couldn't deliberately script her character and do it the justice she does it all by herself.

Yes!
Yes, Northern Exposure! Of Course! Thank you, it was really bothering me that I couldn't remember. All I could think of was "North by Northwest" and that's an old (but excellent)Jimmy Stewart movie. But really, isn't Sara Palin just as looney as some of those characters?
What's really scarey is that out here in the land where the deer and the antolope play she's still real popular. I've heard many people say that they're looking forward to voting for her in 2012. Many of the folks out here are really buying into the "we weren't conservative enough, we gott'a get back to our roots" type of thinking.

If you had a legitimate opposing point, you'd be welcomed
You didn't answer the question of why you are here. You didn't say you want to debate, even, although maybe that's what you meant. If that's the case, your inability to answer a simple question tells all. Does that explain your politics?
You did state that you want a warning sign posted here. As MDB said, it's not your place to do so. Maybe I'd like to post some signs at Instapundit or other right-wing sites, but I know better than to think I can or should have that right.
If you do want to debate, try starting with some simple respect for other people and opposing positions. I suspect you've been a rude irritant here for so long, though, that you've totally worn out your welcome. And only now you ask why? If you could start again, I would register with a name, show some respect, and show some ability to discuss issues without resorting to standard GOP hate-talking points. You might ask yourself why there are plenty of debates here with others who do follow simple etiquette for interaction. If you still can't get along, I guess you're free to claim it's everybody else's fault. As for me, I admit that I don't try to get along with people who post GOP troll crap. I tend to return fire, if for no other reason than to treat them in kind. Do you like jerks showing up and acting like--well, jerks?
P.S. Here's that warning sign you couldn't find: http://www.knoxviews.com/node/56

Almost. Cary Grant.
Yes, except I loved watching that show. OTOH, every time I hear Sarah The Great White North Hope, I want to go screaming from the room. Except for the turkey slaughter video, which puts her in an educational and properly funny perspective.
