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.
Nonsense. No one is more motivated than those Americans who have watched B Ho tear this country apart, brick by brick, over the last two years. He compelled the rise of the Tea Party, and is directly responsible for the crushing defeat the Democrats suffered in the 2010 midterm elections.
That's how much pent-up resistance there is to The Usurper.
Good Americans of every stripe are just barely holding their anger in check, right now. They're going to give the system one last try, before they take it to 'the next level', and by that, I mean that they're going to come out in support of Sarah Palin like nothing you have ever witnessed.
Mark my words. You're about to live through the most historic election of your life.
As a woman, Palin was supposed to say what a rotten horrible life she’s had due to the patriarchy, what a rotten horrible country this is, and how much she loves abortion. She didn’t say any of those things, so she is hated by the left.

Will, Krauthammer and Rove will substantiate that.
Because they know if they had somebody like her, they’d be running roughshod over us.
Leftists have everything neatly arranged in their groupthink mass paradigm. Their Propaganda Machine (the MSM) constantly reinforces it all. Their politicians tell them what to think.
To Leftists, their dogma--groupthink--the Leftist mass paradigm--is truth. They can't think beyond it. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with truth. It's delusion. But to them, anything that threatens their mass paradigm is anathema.
Truth is a BIG THREAT to Leftist mass paradigm.
And Sarah Palin is full of truth.
That's why they HATE HER! She threatens their mass paradigm.
It's really simple. Don't give those people much credit.
They fear having a self-promoting knothead for a President.
For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, it is obvious that the spirit of the anti Christ which has been let loose during this end time has come against Palin because of the Holy Spirit which fills her and equips her for the destiny she is walking out. This is a spiritual battle and she just smiles coyly for she knows who is fighting her battles. That is how she can stand so strong when all hell has attacked she and her family. In the natural no woman could stand up to what has been unleashed on her BUT GOD...
Historically without the women vote DemocRATS would not have won anything above a local level.
Thus Palin and Bachmann represent a proverbial stake through the heart.
The DNC needs 55% of the women’s vote or they fail. In Nov a big part of the huge victory was the women’s vote went Repub for the first time in histoir. Imagine her on the top of the ticket and women actually hear her for themselves. Can you say Landslide?
Pray for America
Yes, we are in an ongoing battle of good vs evil. They are under heavy demonic influence. It’s not all that complicated to see.
You are right on target. Throw in “under the influence of evil” and that’s about it. Evil detests good.
BTTT
So: Sarah’s enemies hate her, in general, because she’s brilliantly successful at everything she does, but she’s not on THEIR side - just pure jealousy.
The Left HATES Sarah Palin because she is a HERETIC. Everything she stands for is HERESY to LEFTIST DOGMA.
In another time and another place, these are the very people who would be burning heretics. In fact--it wouldn't take much for them to do it in this time and place.
You got it!
