Come on. You have two eyes. You have seen it. I have seen it. They call people who like Palin “worshippers” as if to say she is leading a cult or something.
They say “Worship” to demean her supporters. I don’t worship ANYONE except God. I’m a die hard Laker fan, doesn’t mean I worship them(By the way, don’t worry, we will take care of LeBron for you, told you he was a fraud!). Obama supporters worship, he can do no wrong in their eyes, they have orgasms when they see him. I support Sarah Palin, doesn’t mean I agree with everything she does. When she endorsed McCain, I wasn’t happy about it, but I knew she would do it so I got over it. Wasn’t a huge shock, doesn’t mean I was “YAY she endorsed McCain, happy dance time” I was disappointed but what can ya do, she is her own person, makes her own choices, her own decisions.
I've not only seen it, I've said it myself.
What I mean by this being a strawman argument is that no one I've ever seen--ever--has claimed Palin thinks she's a messiah.
I've said this over and over, as each time a breath of contrary opinion is voiced here, the Superfans descend with their crap about trolling and hating.
But I've never once written or believed PALIN is the issue--she's not looking to be worshipped. That doesn't mean she doesn't have what I call Superfans, who can't stand that someoen has a different view.
Saying Palin poses as some messiah is a strawman tactic--she has never done this, and no one I know of has accused her of this.
Saying some people WORSHIP her, that she HAS worshippers--through no doing or fault of her own--is merely making an observation about those who go into a quasi-religious frenzy over any breath of contrary opinion.
I fully supported her during the 2008 election and I find her personal story compelling and intriguing. I also don't mock her for her family's antics nor any of the other things the left likes to pin on her. However, I have started to sour on her quite a bit since she's seemed to take a turn toward the establishment Republican side. When you make a criticism of her based on these principles, there's a large number of Freepers who will kneejerk react by jumping your sh*t. Why not call it like it seems to be? It is starting to look like a Republican version of the Obama Zombie syndrome.
To a degreee, I can understand the defensiveness, but you big Sarah fans need to at least recognize that there are avenues of legitimate criticism from the conservative/libertarian side.
