By attacking our strongest conservative, the marxist media ALWAYS identifies who they fear the most.

How true.l

And what's really sad, is the habit of Conservatives, like a few on FreeRepublic, of eating their own because a candidate does not live up to their Purity test, and as a result, they line up with their enemies, unwittingly, on the left.

“Now even a poll of Tea Party supporters, her most ardent fans, showed that a majority wouldn’t vote for her if she ran for president in 2012.”

Does anyone know about this poll?

Yep had FR existed in the 1980s, they would have been calling Reagan a Rino as the Dims trashed him from the left.

....eating their own because a candidate does not live up to their purity standards....

Ask the soon to be former GOP Senator Bennet about that one!

I’m sure you’d agree this doesn’t include the ability to criticize Sarah Palin. Such criticism should rightly be couched properly in praise of her staunch conservatism during the non-stop fanatical RAT attacks against her and her family.

To criticize Gov. Palin is not a ‘purity test.’ To only criticize her ad nauseum and without context and degree - that could certainly be called such.
