SFChron: Palin's 'Paranoid Politics'
Publius Forum ^ | 09/08/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Once again the extreme left goes into a conservative-bashing theory without the slightest knowledge of human nature not to mention owning even a tiny bit of introspection. This time it is one Geoffery Dunn of the San Francisco Chronicle who told his readers that Palin exemplifies America's ages-old "paranoid-style politics."

The piece is interesting for the fact that it is apparent that as the left-wing Dunn talks about "American paranoid-style politics" he offers examples from only the conservative side of the aisle. Apparently Mr. Dunn imagines "paranoia" only resides on the right in that "American" politics of which he assumes to be an expert.

Dunn amusingly praises the long-ago work of leftist professor Richard Hofstadter, whose fame came from his 1964 book "The Paranoid Style in American Politics." Dunn was a Marxist in an era when Marxists infested American politics as Russian archives successfully proved years ago. Hofstadter was an avowed communist who associated with the anti-capitalist, anti-American "historian" Charles Beard whose hackneyed work tearing down America’s founders was so well debunked decades ago by Forrest McDonald. But whatever Hofstadter was he wasn't an unbiased observer of American politics. He wrote from an extreme left-wing point of view and castigated conservative politics from that ideological vantage.

Amazing. This San Fran Chron guy uses an avowed communist professor's book as "proof" that Republicans are "paranoid"??? Give me a break.

Palin exemplifies America and the Obama cult hates her for it.

Very nice article, particularly on noting the pathetic lack of self-introspection of leftists.

They hate other people because other people are intolerant. They want other people's money because other people are greedy. They want other people to shut up because other people won't listen to them. etc. etc. ad infinitum...

No one should be afraid for the Republic with a Communist in the white house. He just wants to be our friend, take care of us and save us some money./s/
