If it’s any consolation, one of my liberal friends insists he doesn’t like Palin because “she’s a bad mother”. Of course when pressed he won’t really discuss it beyond that so it becomes a dead end discussion. However, like your experience I have several expereinces with poorly informed liberals who are so convinced of their own “rightness” that they don’t bother to get any more infomration and would never ever think of questioning their own perceptions (or how they even got them).
I get that “Palin is a bad mother” from my Mom, who turned 89 this year. She’s another one who gets her info from the MSM and the local lib rag in Santa Rosa. She is completely convinced that Cheney is evil incarnate.
It’s distressing to me that that a member of the “greatest generation” who’s husband was a decorated veteran of Normandy could be brainwashed by the MSM.
I cut her slack because of her age.
