Think of creative ways to prevent the MSM and Leftists from being able to use “polarizing” as a coded, misogynistic, sexist attack weapon against Sarah Palin.
Consider this the Gold Team Action Item of the day.
How can we remove “polarizing” from the Left’s arsenal, using photoshop, blogging, letter writing, and reverse-trolling of our own?
Honestly, the more we think of it, Sarah Palin really is unique amongst all women in the fact that, being from Alaska, she’s the one candidate in a generation who can defeat the usage of “polarizing” against women.
Because she’s from the only Arctic state…so close to the North Pole, relatively speaking…a state with polar bears in it…we believe a successful effort could be mounted to make “polarizing”, as an MSM attack, laughable.
“Still convinced Anthropogenic Global Warming is real and everything’s going to melt? Well, you need that polarizing Sarah Palin, then. You betcha, she’s so polarizing, she’ll have all those glaciers iced right back up, lickety-split. Man alive, she’s so polarizing, she’ll bring blizzards down in August, you betcha. Send that woman to Washington and let her polarize away!”
There really is something to this.
It’s what we did with the Scott Brown “Hottie McAwesome” hit on the DNC, to take away any nastiness they could lob his way over his hot and awesome Cosmo pics.
Let’s proactively take “polarizing” away from Leftists, so they can’t use it against Palin.
Remember: humor, satire, ridicule, jokes, cartoons…these are the way to combat fascists. This is the way to defeat the Left.
Turn their best weapons into your own punch lines and control the debate.

“And now Obama’s gone… something’s going on around here”
I posted this previously on the “How do we eliminate the word “polarizing” as a weapon used against female candidates?” thread, but since it is may favorite “Far Side” cartoon, I wanted to post it again…
And now Edgar’s gone… something’s going on around here

“And now Obama’s gone… something’s going on around here”
Picture Sarah sitting on an ice flow surrounded by penguins. Sarah is wearing an Organizing for America T-shirt. The penguins are are named, Nancy, Harry, Barney, etc…

Invaluable.
February 8, 2010 at 7:24 am
I love the photo. How about Sarah Palin runs on Polar-Power, not Polarizing, It is a little dorky but it keeps the image of a powerful polar bear intact, and gets rid of any insult meant by “polarizing”.
February 8, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Jo, leagues better than polarizing! TNX
February 8, 2010 at 9:15 am
My first post here. Love this site. It’s just lots of fun and right on the mark.
I favor the “Polarizing” idea. It has loads of possibilities and could ruin the word “polarizing” for the other side. The pics with the bear are great.
February 8, 2010 at 9:21 am
Nice idea. How about “Let’s Polarize, America!” under that great pic of Sarah and the polar bear?
February 8, 2010 at 9:42 am
Here’s a thought for a more combative image, probably best employed in the later stages of the electoral campaign.
Under two juxtaposed photographs, with Obama on the left and Palin on the right, the caption: Polar Opposites, or some variation on that.
February 8, 2010 at 9:48 am
Amsterdam, you’re assuming Dr. Utopia will be the candidate.
I predict he’ll be taking a ‘rest cure’ long before that, and Hillary will be the Dem candidate.
And THAT, my friend, will be a RACE!
February 8, 2010 at 10:16 am
Well yes, I still think that will be the case, when I think about 2012 — though of course I, like everyone else is, am very interested to see what HC is going to do.
Though it’s also possible that O will have maneuvered himself into some other plum position by then, and thus decline to run a second time. Actually, this idea makes me even more uneasy — I’ll leave it at that.
Well, I suppose we could always “hope” for a “change” in the way successions have taken place in our country: O undergoing a dramatic mental breakdown during a live telecast of one of his speeches (his two teleprompters having conspired against him and shorted out in sync), and having to be carted away immediately by men in white coats. Now that would be an “unprecedented” end to an awful one-term presidency!
February 8, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Hill the sneak is already playing CYA; now saying Islamic Terrorism is our main threat. Well duh! There’s that Clinton finger in the wind! Remember, there are NO Moderate Dems.
February 8, 2010 at 10:24 am
Polarizing – because she has actual opinions? Because she speaks her mind? Because she takes stands on issues? If that’s ‘polarizing’ then I’m in.
What’d we get with Mr. Utopia? Just some blather like: change and hope! You can believe in! Yes we can! NOT ONE idea – heck – he never really voted in the senate or when he was in the state legislature in IL – because he didn’t have any opinions.
So when people say polarizing – how about – why? Because she has stances? Because she believes in things? Because she has actual convictions? Well, then what’s so bad about THAT?!
February 8, 2010 at 10:26 am
[...] driving the last Kennedy out of elected office? and What about a POLAR TEAM to help Palin? and Sarah Palin is too polarizing! and 5,000th Post at [...]
February 8, 2010 at 11:13 am
There might also be a connection to be made between her references to Constitutional principles and the Pole Star.
February 8, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Of course she’s polarizing. One the one pole, you have those who believe that bigger government is more important, and I’m on the other pole in that people should be entrusted to make decisions because they have the freedom to do so. So, give me polarity! Give me the freedom to choose. This is why, when someone like Kirk is in the race, his positions aren’t that different from his opponent, and it is this lack of polarity that Kirk will lose, and the rest of this nation will lose (the the Lord help us if that happens!).
February 9, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Give me Polarity or give me death!
February 8, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Wouldn’t you know, just this morning at work, when I identified myself as a huge SP fan, the client’s response was, “She’s too polarizing.”
February 8, 2010 at 5:16 pm
And your response next time is, “Polrize, Baby, polarize me.”
February 8, 2010 at 12:53 pm
It took me a day or so to get my thoughts together. Here are a couple of “T-Shirt Ideas” I came up with:
Polarizing Like A MAGNET!
PALIN Attracts PATRIOTS!
Jesus Christ
Thomas Paine
Abraham Lincoln
John F. Kennedy
Martin Luther King
THEY WERE POLARIZING!
The Bible… it POLARIZES!
Patriot Leftist
Constitution Das Kapital
Standing Tall Bowing to Tyrants
America the Beautiful Global Government
MAKE YOUR CHOICE
PALIN! She’s POLARIZING!
Here’ one that’s not on the polarizing theme, but it would make a great T-Shirt:
Hey Barack!
Read the writing on the WALL or the writing on the HAND! Take your pick!
Energy — Taxes — AMERICAN SPIRIT!
February 8, 2010 at 12:57 pm
Grrr… some of my formatting didn’t come through. The 4th one should be something like:
Patriot…Leftist
Constitution…Das Kapital
Standing Tall…Bowing to Tyrants
America the Beautiful…Global Government
MAKE YOUR CHOICE
PALIN! She’s POLARIZING!
February 8, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Is there a way to emphasize the “Zings” part as in ZIngers that Palin is fantastic at delivering?
February 8, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Polarzings
February 8, 2010 at 2:20 pm
How about a “play” on the word, and something along the lines of:
Sarah Palin: She’s Polar-Icing!
February 8, 2010 at 2:21 pm
“Polarizing”
Because it’s Rule #ll, how original of the Neo-Progs once again. Really, don’t we ignore idiots?
*Rule 11*: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

I’m late with this but had fun doing a graphic:

I like these but that picture that was from Vogue, I believe is a little too photoshopped. It hardly looks like her.
February 8, 2010 at 5:50 pm
I saw a friend over the weekend. We used to talk politics all the time since we were both democrats and usually liked the same people until election 2008 when she went haywire over Obama because of his “multiculturalism”. She still thinks he is the greatest and she knows I am very disenchanted not only with him but with the whole democratic party. So she started in on Sarah Palin. Her Q: Did Sarah start her job at Fox News yet? Answer, yes, she has been involved with Fox for a few weeks. Did you know she used that plane for her private use? So all I could says is, I guess the smears are starting. And then she reminded me she is not too smart (like Obama is I would guess she meant). And she went on to say that we don’t need someone who is so uninformed to run for president. Oh boy it took all my restraint not to fill her in on Obama’s total lack of qualifications since she obviously does not know what uninformed really means. However, this friend is someone I do care about and it was in a setting where I did not want to get into an argument. All I can say is, they will not let up on Sarah and she is definitely a threat to the democratic party because she is the darling of so many people and Obama has lost his fizzle for many of his supporters and will continue to do so as he bungles one thing after another.
February 8, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Does anyone else remember the episode of West Coast Choppers where they visited Sarah? There was a good screen shot of her leaning against a HUGE bear skin on the back of a couch. THAT would be a good picture for this idea.
February 8, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Ok, I’ve seen the photo, but that’s a GRIZZLY bear.
To make the ‘connection’, we needs a ‘polar’ bear.
Go, Sarah!
February 8, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Thanks! I didn’t remember that it was a grizzly bear. Although, if we did a Momma Grizzly thing, that could be used.
February 9, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Use polarizing as a verb. “There goes Sarah, out polarizing again” and show the MSM melting down about some innocuous thing Sarah just did, say.
March 24, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Cute idea
