Why are liberals so afraid of her? Because she wrote a book?

It is quite the contrary.

I cant speak for all liberals, but I LOVE the character known as Sarah Palin. She brings a smile to my face every time I see her on the news or hear her speak.

It is a wildly entertaining show, knowing that she is the most visible and popular (and unpopular at the same time) Republican on the national scene.

It is the Republican establishment that is afraid that she wont go away.

Speaking for myself, I'm amazed and horrified that Bush 2 ever made it to the White House, and was reelected. If somebody like him is able to make it into the White House, then somebody like Palin can absolutely make it there too. I don't think she has the the right qualities to hold any position of authority, but she came fairly close to the most important position in the free world, and it's possible she will again.

I agree with every thing except the thought that, " she came fairly close to the most important position in the free world." She never had a chance. But I have enjoyed all the frothing by the left as her new book has come out. It is like Kabuki Theater.

I think Palin is high comedy. You can never lose, though, by betting on the stupidity of American voters.

Not afraid of "her". She would make a poor leader, and we're afraid stupid people will elect her.

Yes, except for Quayle, the major party's choices of candidates were people that you might note vote for, but you didn't have to worry about them causing an Apocalypse.

No surprise there.

Palin addresses dejected fans on book tour

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8mAZhOJIfI

The video above shows how upset Palin fans were as Palin was unable to fill everyone's request for an autograph at a book signing on Thursday in Noblesville, IN. Outside the Borders bookstore, fans shouted, "Sign our books! Sign our books!" as Palin's bus drove away, heading for the next book tour stop.

The estimated 100 or so disappointed fans were reportedly given signed pieces of paper, while some demanded refunds. Most fans were dejected because they never received an apology. However, late Friday night, Palin addressed her fans on her Facebook page:
"The response on this book tour has been overwhelming. We are truly humbled, and I thank you.

I've been told that yesterday there were supporters in Noblesville who stood in long lines for hours in the cold and rain, and the book signing event ended without a chance to say hello to everyone who showed up. I am so sorry. We are working on a solution for those who were left behind.

I apologize."
"I've been told?!" She couldn't hear the shouting from inside her fancy bus? She refused to look out a window?

Ms. Palin's "quitting early" stunt last night kinda reminds me of something else she did not long ago...

I find it tough to hold her personally responsible for this gaffe, because I doubt she's in charge.
This tour is like a campaign, organized by the publisher, with a group of handlers, and a whole lot of logistics to coordinate. I'll bet Palin is busy jumping through hoops, in this dog & pony show, and could have been completely unaware of what was happening in Noblesville.

Interesting language choice...

You suspect she signed the books of the right behind, and not those left behind?

Actually I was thinking about the second favorite book for Palinists.
