Blowhard O’Reilly interviews Palin so he can hear himself talk!

Actually, rather than let the governor go on about the need for border security, which she seemed primed to do, O'Reilly gets more out of her by advancing the conversation to what comes after that. He did kind of lead the interview by allowing her multiple choice on those options, essentially, but I think Palin's common sense solutions still came through. A lot clearer and more sensible than Obama's “do nothing” approach, anyhow.

BOR became unwatchable for me several years ago, for the same reason you describe. What really turned me off is listening to him bloviate and talk about important issues and hear him never say anything of substance. In that respect, he comes across as being far more interested in hearing his own voice than anything else, and thus, he acts more like a typical politician.

I have no idea what he believes. I'm not sure he really believes in anything other than BOR.

this is unconstitutional

I agree. I am so tired of BO trampling all over every guest interview he has! FOX has him in the best time slot for both coastal time zones, and they line up some of the best guests, and he insults them by not allowing them to complete a thought for the audience – and too many times he completes what he thinks their thought is. Grrrrrrrrr! I think he has let his ratings go to his head because he's gotten worse. He tried to take away from Sarah last night, but she's dealt with the great bloviator before and didn't allow it. I also hate the way he (acts?) so stupid with Glenn Beck, and tries to make Beck look like the dummy. I always wish Beck would reach over and just smack the jerk!

Well, what I really wish is that FOX would just bump BO out of that slot and put Beck or Laura Ingraham in instead.

He was not interrupting her. She is just too stupid to say more than 6-7 words consecutively without needing help

Why…?

Why do shallow thinkers and Palin haters bash Sarah with “stupid” words?

Who knows? They never engage with informed comments.

I see how the majority of people think she's a moron b/c the media has portrayed her that way long enough so that the moron independents (which, unfortunately decide our elections) believe it, and now she has been rendered completely useless as a politician- don't bet on her in any presidential race, she has been neutralized by a media complicit with a fascist agenda.

Why, though, was she such a threat?

I've heard a few times on the radio that it's because she was from outside the elite circles- IMO, the elitism is the response to the ‘bitten hand’- I'll explain: During the media's attempt to destroy her in the presidential campaign, they couldn't find anything substantive to use to ruin her. So they got angry as liberals usually do when confronted with the fact that they are populist phonies (which is why they stick to their liberal elitist circles, because there they all agree and no one will prove them wrong- they feel safe). She is everything the liberals and their ilk claim to love, help, fight, and stand up for; but what she did (much like any conservative minorities) is she said, “No, Thanks- I don't want what you have to offer, I can do this better without you [government] in my life”.

To the liberal establishment this is blasphemy. How dare a nobody [like you] say or behave this way after all we've given you, thinks the liberal. I own you!! And so began the destruction of Palin b/c she was the true populist and her story threatened the established dogma that it is democrats who help and you NEED the democrats b/c you can't do it without them, you SHOULD BE GRATEFUL for all they have given you. How dare a simpleton bite their hand as they try to feed us. What are you, Stupid?

Bottom line- they are threatened by an individual that demands their natural rights. The liberal view is that government is the arbiter of rights and not the person so they will try to destroy anyone that connects those dots for the people whom the government wants to rule over.

So what is it that makes Sarah Palin worthy of all the adoration? You tell me. I'm not aware of anything “notable” that distinguishes her from the other contingent of political opportunists. She's attractive and reasonably personable, but I know of no unique policy or strategy that sets her apart. There is nothing about her track record that makes her exceptional. From where I'm sitting, she appears to be just another war-mongering neocon who's hoping to exploit the tea party movement long enough to secure a top spot at the national convention. The fact that she's acquired such a huge following, without a single notable achievement in the political arena, tells me that she will likely get what she wants. However, let me remind you that our current President was also an opportunist who amassed a huge following without bringing anything of substance to the job. That's hurting our nation badly right now. We can hardly afford to allow the next election to simply be another episode of American Idol.

We don't bash her….we simply call her what she is

She is too stupid to do simple research before talks, she is too stupid to sound remotely intelligent in tough interviews, She is too stupid in pretty much everything she does

Right-wingers are too stupid to realize that every Democrat WANTING HER to run for President is actually a bad thing for them.
