Sarah Palin’s Facebook Popularity Continues to Climb
by LukeAmerica2020
With more than 875,000 fans following her political commentary closely on Facebook, Sarah Palin trails only President Barack Obama as the most popular politician on the social networking site. She has gained 60,000 new followers since we reported her soaring popularity exactly four weeks ago today. Amazingly, she is expanding her high-profile posture in political debates armed only with a notebook computer and an Internet connection.
Palin has used her Facebook page to comment on health care, energy policy, and tort reform. She’s also highlighted other causes, such the celebration of Constitution Day and the commemoration of the eighth anniversary of the 911 terrorist attacks.
Meanwhile, as the audience of the so-called mainstream media slips into statistical insignificance and the circulation of left-leaning printed media plummets, President Obama has pledged to do the Sunday political talk show circuit on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and even Univision.
In stark contrast, talk radio, Fox News, and Sarah Palin have been growing record audiences of fiscal conservatives (independents, libertarians, and republicans) who are concerned about big government growth. Clearly, conservative media outlets are presenting a message that resonates with the once silent majority.
Moreover, most media outlets have downplayed the huge attendance in the 912 March on DC. Was it 10,000? Was it 75,000? 1.2 million? 1.7 million? 2 million? For President Obama and his “mainstream media”, it must be like arguing over exactly how many drops of water are in the tidal wave that is bearing down on you! But, of course, if you oppose big government growth, you must be a “racist”, “a right-wing terrorist”, or a “member of an angry mob”.
