Media Coach Expert Analysis of Sarah Palin on O'Reilly Factor

[Ignatius1125]

Keep it going Palin!

[ozzycriss]

She is a brainless twit .

[crzeloon]

She's an idiot.

Regardless of everyones political views, I find this type of analysis to be fascinating. Whether its on Sarah Palin or Joe Biden or other celebrities with high media appeal, this analysis shows how simple changes can make a huge difference in audience reactions.

[PhatPhungus]

This analysis of things that aren't even substantive. It should make little difference if she uses huge gestures or little gestures, what should make a difference is if she knows her stuff, and if she is intelligent and capable.

That's the problem with analyzing body language separated from what the person is actually saying. Sarah Palin speaks fast, long and loud, not because she is an extrovert, but because she has no idea what she's talking about, so she tries to get by by spouting lots and lots of vapid drivel out of her arse.

[Raymond1967]

mtklima - completely DISAGREE. People who don't know what they're talking about tend to contradict themselves, hesitate, and speak softer, not louder. I sense you're an Obama partisan looking to trash the competition. So, you weren't the one that happened to download Palin's personal emails and post them on the web, were you?

[mtklima]

You are of course more than entitled to disagree. However, it is a bit paranoid to accuse me of hacking Palin's emails or what have you. Your paranoia is not unusual among right wingers, so I understand it. It seems a common disease. Take care. And god help us if mccain and this freak of nature win the election.

[Raymond1967]

relax. The email reference was not an accusation, but rather a joke. If anything, it was (maybe unfairly) lumping you in with others on the far left. Your comments would indicate you're on the left, right? And currently left wingers are very afraid that the addition of Palin will tilt the election towards McCain, so the smear campaign begins. You are a part of that smear campaign. You're entitled to your opinions as well. I'm questioning not that, but your motivations for the smears.

[mtklima]

Smear campaign? Far left? LOL. I guess that the US has moved so far to the right that these days anyone to the left of Goebbels is a far leftie. And my motivations to criticize Palin are the facts, ie, her vapid, vacuous, empty, ignorant drivel. This is not smear -it is simply fact-based criticism.

[Raymond1967]

As Shakespeare wrote, "thou doth protest too much."

[mtklima]

Translation: you cannot take the facts. It goes without saying, actually.

[PhatPhungus]

Both the left and the right say things that aren't entirely true to make the other look bad.

[PhatPhungus]

Yeah, unless they know they have to look assertive and impressive. In which case they talk as loud and fast as they can to try to look good.
