Sum.. there's over a page of posts from more than a couple conservatives going on about what a great thing Sarah was doing by messing with the media on this tour, and how impressive it was. Going on about how she was showing the media who is boss, and not accepting their narrative and all this other nonsense.
It's one page back in the threads. I gave you the title, it's not hard to find.
It was certainly not just one off the cuff remark.
I repeatedly asked how she was accomplishing anything positive from this tour, and was told I just "didn't get it," by multiple people. I argued all she's doing is drawing attention away from real issues, and is no different than any other TV celebrity, and then was told I just didn't understand her brilliance.
Now a week later, conservatives are telling me it's ridiculous that we are paying attention to her. Pick a complaint and stick with it folks. You can't have it both ways.
If you don't believe me:
Here's me making the same damn point Dr. Torch tried to make above.

RE: The Sarah Palin Tour
What narrative can they not control? She's a television personality.. that's like suggesting Kim Kardashian is "controlling the narrative." That's laughable. What upper hand does she have? What is this strategy you speak of? What is she accomplishing?
....
The more attention and money she takes away from serious politicians like Tim Pawlenty, the worse off the legitimate Republicans are.
Here's one of many mosts in the thread telling me I don't understand the tour and what she's doing, and later goes so far as to say he loves the tour.:

I not only love this whole circus, but am enjoying watching those who are trying so hard to NOT see what even some of the liberal press noticed.
Here's another conservative poster who seems to clearly support what Palin is doing here (it's a very long post.. but you can get the gist of it here):
