They knew it the first time they saw her.
It's why they go insane every time they think of her.

I have long wondered why people are so hostile about Sarah Palin. Women in general and everyone on the left bring to the table their stock jibes, their ad homonym attacks so filled with bile it's palpable. I have come to expect it with regard to George W. Bush, but why is Sarah Palin such a threat? Author David Mamet in his “The Secret Knowledge” explains a lot.
According to Mamet, Sarah Palin is a threat for several reasons. One is she's a woman, and the left really doesn't like women. “How do I know? Look at Monica Lewinsky and Broadbent, Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, and Mary Jo Kopechne, and all of these people who were in various ways vastly abused, and in one place, killed by liberal men and the left said nothing about it,” Mamet writes.
Oddly enough, feminists share the left's contempt for the feminine. And for all her accomplishments, Palin is feminine, an attractive woman, mother of five with a handsome and devoted husband, so she is attacked as a kind of freed succubus.
However, Mamet says the animus against Palin is not so much her status as a woman or as a conservative, but as a worker. “There was a time when the American left was made up of workers, factory workers, people who fix lawn mowers. The left today is the cheese and white wine guy, the Malthusian type, who talks about a greedy world with too many people getting in their way.”
Sarah represents much too clearly that portion of the population that gets in the way. She is an actual worker, a commercial fisherman “like Harry Truman she knows hard work, she knows of what she speaks.”
Mamet suggests that Palin's story is part of the American Myth. She is the living embodiment of those Hollywood myths: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Contender, The Farmer's Daughter, The Candidate, Bulworth. “The myth is played out over and over again and when the left sees that in real life, in someone who is not on their side, someone who has not been indoctrinated, someone who expresses herself well and is unusual and attractive and funny, it scares the hell out of them.”
So what can they say? “She's stupid.”
If she is so stupid, how did she become so wildly successful at everything she does? She worked her way from town councilman to small-town mayor, to state oil and gas commissioner to state governor, to vice presidential candidate in a little over 15 years. She took on the corrupt good old boys in the Republican Party.
She sold on eBay the Westwind II jet her predecessor had purchased against the wishes of the Alaskan taxpayers, and cut down on the staff in the governor's mansion, holding meetings in her kitchen Golda Meir-style, while caring for her family and in her spare time helping her husband fulfill his fishing contracts. Yes, Sarah Palin has it all — beauty, brains and brawn, and it's driving the left wild.
Thank you, David Mamet, for helping me understand the animus of the left that believes that big government is the answer to all our problems. They are threatened by “We the people” and our desire to manage our own lives, and Sarah Palin is “We the people.” She is the embodiment of what it is to be an American.
And that answers the question why the GOP establishment fears Sarah Palin.
They fear the Bible.
They fear life in the womb.
They fear not being able to spend your money.
They fear losing power.
They fear Conservatives.
THEY DO NOT FEAR GOD!
Don’t worry, they will.
BTTT!
Because they are TINY little people and nothing more.
It’s simple: Evil hates and despises good.
That is it in a nutshell.
She also can’t be controlled and the elites on both the Left and Right are scared to death of that.
The “they” that control things, know that she will not allow that control to continue and they are scared stupid!Very well put. And 100% correct. This is THE reason they hate and fear her as much as they do.
She is one of US not one of THEM.
They knew it the first time they saw her.
It's why they go insane every time they think of her.
“They fear the truth.
They fear the Bible.
They fear life in the womb.
They fear not being able to spend your money.
They fear losing power.
They fear Conservatives.
THEY DO NOT FEAR GOD”
Perfectly stated! Very wise words.
The holy grail of politics for liberals is the Supreme Court.
The thought of Sarah Palin anywhere near the process of selection of SC justices is just more than the liberal sensitivities can endure.
Indeed!
If she was an ugly Bull Dyke she would be a shoo-in.
Sarah has humility. She’s truly humble. I love how she responded at the opening of THE UNDEFEATED in Pella, Iowa, when she said, “It’s NOT about me!”
History has never been kind to the humble, but they make their mark in spite of the haters.
Hopefully, just maybe, Sarah’s humility will be her ultimate armor.
The principle-over-personality humility she embodies will protect her.
That’s part of it. But the left knows they have overreached and woken up the nation to the fact that the ruling class is operating outside the limits of the constitution. If a true conservative gets elected with a majority in the senate and the house, along with majorities in the State Legislatures and Governorships, and has the power to appoint federal judges and Cabinet Officials, it is much easier to follow the constitution than to work your way around the constitution in order to contravene the plain meaning of the constitution. A true conservative, as opposed to a compassionate conservative, could do more damage to the causes of the left than they could stand.
The left knows that Palin will kick their “messiah’s” ass if she is our candidate.
