Why does the left fear Sarah Palin?
The Yuma Sun ^ | July 3, 2011 | Cora Lee Schingnitz

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.

The left hates Sarah because they know she will take them down.

If she runs and wins she take along a lot of other pubbies with her on her skirt tails.

If she doesnt' run she will spend most of her time helping out other pubbies win both in the House and Senate.

Either way she takes the left and all they stand for down into the toilet where they belong.

Of course they hate her.

>> "She may be the last chance we have to save our country, but I am afraid we wouldn’t come out in the droves to offset the haters"

Well they come out to buy her T-Shirts...

If she's so stupid how does she sell so many T-Shirts?

Ahh, the PDS'ers. I like to call them sleeper cells. Most of us know this is now a fight between good and evil, not just our country.

He has drawn a line in the sand and expects EVERYONE of us to choose a side.

I choose Him; therefore, Sarah.

God help us if there is more evil in the world than good. 2nd Revolution, here we come.

Just so everyone knows, I am willing to put my life on the line for Him. If I am martyred, so be it. Enough is enough.

Well said except for one small overlook. The left respond with undisguised vitriol these days because they are liberal fascists. The lefts next step is into actual mob violence.

The purpose of the left’s vitriolic attacks on Palin is to dehumanize her and her supporters, in preparation for the violent destruction of Sarah Palin and her supporters.

BRING IT!

The “flash mobs” in the inner cities are reherals for the 2012 campaign.

When 6 dhimmicraticali controlled cities have 6 violent “flash mobs” occur concurrently, somebody’s doin’ some organizing.

I agree with you completely. Next summer will be D-day in America.The Obama regime will create murderous riots in L.A., New Orleans,Miami,New York, Boston,Detroit, Chicago , blamed on Conservatives who defend themsleves, and likely Obama will attempt to impose martial law.The strong man Obama then gets the majority November vote for “saving the day.”Thats the nationalist socialist meme.Kenya 2006/2007 all over again.

Socialist Pierre Trudeau did the same thing during the Federation Quebec Libre ( FLQ) crisis in Canada years ago, declared martial law, after Pierre Laporte was murdered. He won a sweep in the fall elections in Canada, when in fact most were predicting his defeat before the so called crisis. There were less than 20 FLQ involved, and the entire nation was put on a bogus war footing, habeus corpus suspended, as well as criminal bail hearings and the need for search warrants.Trudeau got to many of his political enemies in Quebec and shook them down. Obama will be far worse, and will likely attack his political opponents directly using “emergency powers” under Homeland Security “Insurrection” laws.

Brockton seems to be heating up. An awful lot of gun violence there.

Well we have the dress rehearsal for the summer of 2012 happening now. Der Fuhrer has conducted speeches of support
and all the ingredients for the fascist cake are in place: The anarchists ( they conducted courses for demonstrati in NYC a month before) , the Marxists ( Soros little Ad company out of Californicatia provided money to pay the main demonstrators ....ads on Craig's list), and the UNIONS ( SEIU publishes multiple resolutions of solidarity with the “Occupy Wall Street” social vector of fascism.

And the MSM reports it all as spontaneous.WOW. Just Wow.

The missing ingredient? Race rioting, and now that will be
organized and fueled by the Obama community organizers in Tammany Hall,Watts, Detroit and New Orleans.

The objecive...postponement of the Nov. 2012 election through the use of “martial law” as America spontaneously reacts to protect itself.That is designed throw a wrench into the entire move of the electorate towards the right....
and its not just designed to foil the popular sentiment of the electorate's movement to the right, but the associated fund raising as well.And then enter Obama the saviour , fully funded, organized with an election date to suit his acclamation as Der Fuhrer.
