Ryj, I thought about the tax angle too. But wrote it off considering that for fed and state taxes, I got a refund at that income. Didn't factor in FICA and other non-tax paycheck deductions.
I don't think it's terrible in their cultural context. Mao is popular; Obama is popular. Why not combine them a la chocolate and peanut butter? Where's the controversy?
That said, I'm sure some tea bagger has already bought a shipment container's worth of these shirts for the next rally.
When has Palin actually limited the size and scope of government? When she supported the "bridge to nowhere" ($398 MILLION in federal funds that she didn't return when the project was eventually cancelled)? When she ran up her state's travel expense accounts on her and her family for non-business? When she abused her powers to get her ex-brother in law sacked? Yeah, that's a real small government conservative.
For you to choose to vote for someone who is obviously incompetent over someone whose politics you merely differ with is crazy. I've voted for 3rd party candidates before; at least go that route.
I shiver at the thought of Palin in a meeting with Hu Jintao, Medvedev or Netanyahoo. She'd get eaten alive. She can't even handle Katie Couric.
Either you haven't thought it through or you are crazy.

Sigh... Palin is not a neo-con. Neo-cons are big government conservatives. Palin is a small government conservative. That's why she's so popular - most Republicans had to hold their noses to vote for GWB the second time and many rejected McCain, because they were both for the massive expansion of government. See for example Spendulus I. Obama continued the trend with Spendulus II.
Conservatives are (rightly) asking where all the money for the Spendulus bills will come from, and the Republican Party is providing no leadership in opposing the expansion of government - the party is nearly rudderless. Even though Palin wouldn't be my ideal candidate for president, I'd vote for most any candidate that was for limiting the size of government. Last year I voted Libertarian (Bob Barr), for example. If Palin ran against Obama, I'd vote for her.
Please point to one intellectual paper or essay or speech, devoid of stupid factual and/or grammatical errors, that Sarah Palin has done. Given her local and national mishaps, the burden of proof is on people like you to prove she is not stupid.
Being stupid is enough to disqualify one for president in my book. I have not heard or read one of her defenders convey a story of proven success of governance from that woman. When she had a chance to prove to everyone she could handle being an executive, by leading the administration of Alaska, she quit to go on the talk show circuit.
She will have her own talk show within 3 years, replacing Coulter and Malkin as the wingnut hottie. I do fervently hope she runs, however. She clearly has enough support from the prole contingent to win the repub nomination. I would give this know-nothing candidate my full support.

All the liberal FUD aside, her stances on the issues are actually quite thoughtful and reasonable. I've followed her notes on Facebook from time to time:
