One wonders: What did Sarah Palin ever do to inspire the rage and bile that exploded on her selection by John McCain? What is there either in this woman's record or resume to elicit such feline ferocity?
What did we know of her when she was introduced? That she was a mother of five who had brought into this world a baby boy with Down syndrome, thus living her Christian beliefs. That she was a small-town conservative who had risen from mayor of Wasilla (population 9,700) to be governor of a state twice the size of Texas.
That she was a reformer who had dethroned an Old Boys' Network by dumping a sitting Republican governor. That she had taken on Big Oil, taxed the companies and returned the money in $1,200 checks to every citizen of Alaska. And that she had cut a deal with Canada to build a pipeline to bring natural gas to her fellow Americans.
And, oh, yes. She was Sarah Barracuda — a fierce high school athlete, a runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant, a Feminist for Life and lifetime member of the NRA. Introduced by McCain, she praised Hillary Clinton and pledged to finish her work by crashing the glass ceiling in which Hillary had made 18 million cracks.
What, in any or all of this, is there to justify the feral attacks within minutes of her introduction? What had she done to cause this outburst? Answer: absolutely nothing.
No. Sarah Palin is not resented for what she has done, but for who she is: a Christian conservative who believes unborn children are gifts of God, even those with birth defects, and have a God-given right to life.

CNN Campbell Brown just did a HIT piece on PAlin’s CHRISTIAN religion by a reporter Randi Kaye. If I’m not mistaken Randi Kaye is probably JEWISH, and I for one, arew getting sick of hit pieces on my religion by people from OTHER religions!
Its the LEFT, stupid. Ever since the 1960s, hippie, anti-war, free love days, they hold EVERYONE in contempt unless they are a hippie, anti-war, free love (add abortion and homosexuality as causes). They just hate and look down on everyone that don’t agree with them.
The libs are like vampires being confronted with a cross.
Hatred explains it.
The hard left hates America and Americans. Gov. Palin is about as American as you can get.
Simple... she is an evangelical christian. Does not want abortions. Believes in the constitution and is an American Citizen first...Not a “citizen of the world” like Obama and his campain workers in the drive by media. Of course they hate her and will stop at nothing to get her.
Simple. She brought enthusiasm to the McCain campaign. The libs believe she must be destroyed.
Yay!!! Open season on religion. Lets get Obama and his communist church.
Quality, my friend. Fear of quality precipitated the onslaught.
They think they are “WRIGHT” in the head...
/snicker..
Sarah's not a victim, she loves life, and she's having fun. Liberals cannot let such heresy stand, so they're trying to burn her at the stake.
For my generation (I'm 66), that will be like attacking my daughter and you b******ds will pay! The libs have raised our ire because of sliming this LADY and her family, there will be payback.
Psalm 37:12
“What, in any or all of this, is there to justify the feral attacks within minutes of her introduction? What had she done to cause this outburst?”
Well, first off, she’s a republican, and liberals hate republicans. Second, she’s a Christian, and liberals hate Jesus Christ more than they hate republicans.
John 3:20
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
IMHO, they hate anyone who is pro-life, they don’t want their pro-death culture (abortion) to be “reproved.”
Darkness hates the light.
The writings of Marx, Ailinsky, and Chomsky.
Ahem, that's twice the area of Texas. We're the second largest state in the Union both geographically, and electorally (read population) so let's not throw out an ambiguous "size" when on hand we have a dozen cities larger than Alaska.
Dear Pat,
Sarah Palin is doing JUST FINE without you. Please stay out of the picture so you don’t ruin it for her.
Easy. She's a real woman. This is something that the typical hairy armpitted, greasy haired, fat assed, repulsive liberal female cannot relate to.
Envy must be the root of this blind hatred.
So, instead of perhaps taking a shower, shaving those pits, washing that greasy hair, and perhaps a little exercise, it's easier to be pissed off and turn their anger towards someone they actually wish they could be.
Because she’s a reasonably decent woman.
Why are they afraid to say anything against Islamic terrorist who kill and.... yet they find Sarah someone we should a be afraid of?
Uhhhh? She once got photographed with a Buchanan button on? I’m just sayin....
Firestorm the Nuclear Man was my favorite DC character but I don’t know whether he was republican or demorat.
we haven’t seen anything this disgusting before. Not even against W Bush, Cheney or any other conservative.
Palin represents a clear and present danger to the core of liberalism itself that goes beyond any political campaign.
She is pro-life...and not only was pregnant but kept a Down’s baby
She is capitalist...even though her husband is a union member.
She’s for drilling in ANWR and against global warming...even though she’s from Alaska and loves the outdoors
She’s pro-gun...even though she is one of “millions” of moms.
She provides not just conservative words; her whole life is a vivid example of conservative principles in action.
She came from an ordinary family, ordinary schools and married a husband who makes $46,000, not $4.6 million. That’s someone most people can relate to.
And she is very very smart and charming.
“Darkness hates the light.”
John 3:19 - And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

I’m not sure, but I think it’s a safe bet that her religion is Democrat, regardless of her ethnic heritage.
Christian Conservative, right to life, etc., etc. None of these things alone engender hatred as much as the fact that she connects with a majority of anti-liberal Americans and that will begin the liberals' extinction.
Until Alaska decides cut it's self in half and Texas becomes the THIRD largest state.
I imagine the rage is because the left just saw their dreams of total government power suddenly dissipate into rapidly clearing smoke.
One can almost become — as in many years past — a Buchanan fan.
What did Sarah Palin ever do to inspire the rage and bile that exploded on her selection by John McCain?
She energized the conservative voters, and is going to spoil the democrats victory in Nov.
If it’s because she’s a devout Christian, then that speaks volumes about the liberal left. After all, those are the ones who are pro-abortion.
The Didache specifically says not to abort an unborn child.
And more important that anything, she is a child of God.
‘Nuff said.
Then we'll have two dozen cities larger than either state.
And she is very very smart and charming.
You forgot, Sarah is very attractive.
Tis Quality that matters. :)
A $64,000 question, if I ever heard one.
The MSM has spent more time and energy trying to destroy Sarah Palin in just ten days, than they have in destroying Bin Laden in SEVEN YEARS!
But then, on the other hand, they agree with Bin Laden, don't they?
I've made the same point, and it's pretty clear to most people (right and left) that this is the central fear of the left.
Sarah Palin committed the unforgivable sin of unmasking the liberal left for what it truly is with over 40 million people watching.
It was truly the "shot heard round the world" for modern times, and the left is bleeding from that near fatal wound. As they stagger, dazed and confused from the trauma, they are lashing out in a psychotic fit of anger at the perpetrator...our Sarah.
All of the above, plus the fact that the media were fooled..surprised!! This has led to total rage.
The attack would have been severe on any VP nominee, but how dare Jonh McCain do such a thing!!!!
(insert crying baby picture here)
She makes Obama look like some guy living in a van down by the river.
The fact that she dismissed the MSM out of hand in the Twin Cities. The press will not be treated as such and for that she must pay!
Certainly not a justification, but it is a reason.
They fear her because she is a true conservative, she reveals conservatism to be pleasant, cheery, and non-threatening, and because she is going to be President of the US for 8 or more years.
