Use, print, and associations of citizens: "We do not know Sarah Palin"

"In every relationship twisted, miserable and disastrous moments are so unpleasant that offer both parties an opportunity to take a step back and realize that now is the time of separation." To write it, in his column for The New York Times is the conservative Ross Douhat comparing the relationship between the media and Sarah Palin to a failed marriage.

And here's the proposal: a separation contributes to a prolonged silence on the former governor of Alaska and the Republican leader of the right wing. Douhat is aimed at journalists and colleagues suggests: "Sarah Palin cover if you want but please stop behaving as if it were the most popular conservative politician in America.

Stop pretending that for her there is a plausible path to the presidency in 2012. (No) Stop suggest that she may be a candidate for the Republican nomination (is not). " The NYT reporter is allowed to give advice even at the same Palin: "Once you were really a politician (you remember him?) But now you're increasingly becoming a caricature that your enemies have tried to do yourself." A few days later by the Washington Post, Dana Milbank echoed saying that they would observe a whole month of silence on the former governor.

"Although it is embarrassing to admit it publicly - Milbank writes - I can no longer hide the truth. I have a problem with Sarah Palin. " The reporter then explains the reasons in the past led the reporters to write about pasionaria right: "Although no longer a candidate for public office, nor did we in the press, we realized that the mere mention of his name placed our list of most popular articles.

While acknowledging the difficulties in keeping the promise, the reporter solemnly swear not to appoint more than Palin for the entire month of February and invited colleagues, in a bipartisan, to follow his example. A similar initiative was launched by the "Left Action", a network that includes about one million activists and proposes that, from February 28 to March 4, the "week for ignoring Sarah Palin." Through a petition, the 25 thousand signatories agree not to talk about Sarah Palin, if you change the channel on TV, not read articles that relate to and navigate to other pages if you come across news about the leader of the Tea Party on the Internet .

"We tried to argue with her - says the web page Left Action - boycott, against vote for them, but to no avail because she keeps coming back. Like a vampire or a fungus annoying. " Ignore it, then, seems to be the only way to heal from the "Palin-dependence" that has now infected more shares of large U.S.

company. How precisely to Left Action: "Best wishes to Sarah Palin and her family all the best. Simply do not want as president and we want to once spend a whole week without paying any attention. "
