"Brave" Sarah Palin to speak in Oregon & "put Eugene on the map"!
...the Lane County Republican party couldn't be prouder of landing the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate, who uses "granola" as a term of derision, as the headliner for its Lincoln Day fundraiser dinner Friday night.

"She's a pretty brave woman, I think," said Bill Young, a Eugene veterinarian and chairman of the Lane County Republican Party.

"I think that everybody is concerned that it doesn't seem to fit the mold," he said. "Yet you have to realize there are a lot of Republicans and conservatives who live in this area. I'm just thankful she agreed to come, and put Eugene on the map, so to speak."...

At $250 a head, the party has sold out the Eugene Hilton hall where Palin will speak. The hall seats about 800, and the party has also sold most of the $100 seats in an overflow room with a video feed, Young said.

Seventy people who donated $1,000 will get a photo with Palin and a signed copy of her book. Reporters can watch on video, but can't use recording devices.

3. How can you mock that poor, BRAVE woman?
EVERYONE is entitled to health care, and she is making the Eugene trip to get the help she so desperately needs for her condition, since Canada was unable to help her this time. Quoting from the OP link:

One group planning to show up is MindFreedom. The advocacy group for the mentally ill is staging a skit, and plans to post a video on YouTube.

"It's just a big hand saying, 'Sarah, you don't speak for the mentally disabled,'" said executive director David W. Oaks. "A few of us with mental disabilities will be offering her an honorary diagnosis, if she wants one."

7. I think there's likely to be more anti-Sarah folks outside the venue than paid
idiots inside listening to her. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something about this appearance that just doesn't pass the the smell test. It'll be interesting to see how they pull it off. Considering her fee, no way is the local GOPosse gonna make a dime off her royal heinous.

26. Thank you very much!
We respect our produce around here, so hurling it so early in the season might not happen, but she will be well met here I am sure.

10. Oh man. I hope Eugene turns out in style!
When I went to school at U of O (in Eugene) there was a protest nearly every other week. I hope Eugene makes its displeasure clear.

24. This should give you an idea
about what to expect in Eugene: The Register-Guard said that the GOP group that's hosting her appearance have paid the local police to protect her.

11. She's running a good money making racket.
"She's a pretty brave woman, I think," said Bill Young, a Eugene veterinarian and chairman of the Lane County Republican Party.

If bravery means quitting the governorship mid-term to rake in $$$$ from fools, he's right.

Is there a hotel in Eugene good enough for Sarah?

23. At our house we like granola and we don't like wolf-slaughtering Republicans.
If Romney somehow winds up with the Pukes' nom he may not be able to count on the full support of GOP voters if an entire banquet roomfull of them are shelling out $250 a plate to hear a dingbat like Sarah Palin.

The Lane County Puke chairman, Bill Young, a veterinarian, should be asked to treat a wolf wounded by a bullet fired from Sarah Palin's rifle.

29. It sounds to me
like somebody's hoping for a rerun of the protests in Los Angeles, framing liberals as violent thugs.

I don't think it's going to play out that way.

Although I do appreciate MindFreedom's offer of an honorary diagnosis of mental illness. :P

33. With all the contempt she has for the press I don't understand why the media bother
"Reporters can watch on video, but can't use recording devices"


Does Palin actually think she's going to be able to pull this crap if she runs in 2012?
