What Justifies The Firestorm On Palin Pick?
IBD Editorials ^ | September 8, 2008 | PATRICK J. BUCHANAN

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.

Nothing justifies it.

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.

Quality, my friend. Fear of quality precipitated the onslaught.

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.

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.”
