Have you noticed that Governor Palin has not been removed from the hit list of the far left?
I mean besides the left over jokes and reruns from the 2008 Presidential campaign…during which she did a damn good job…for someone never on the national scene before…but even now when she has resigned as Governor of Alaska, and is just plain old “Sarah Palin Citizen of the United States of America.”
Why is the left so afraid of a staunch Christian Republican who is articulate, a fast learner, who happens to be a women, married with children, and damn good looking I might add?
What makes her so dangerous that…
…they have to complain that she goes on a speaking tour for which she gets paid to give her opinion on various topics in different parts of the world? What ex-politico HASN’T done that? If you look at the list of ex-presidents, speakers of the house, majority leaders etc – you will find most of them STILL on the road giving speeches – and being paid for it!
…that the late night jokers are still attacking her – and with such veracity (David Letterman for example) that they have to apologize for the jokes!
…that the talking heads on the far left cable opinion programs – i.e. Olbermann and Maddow – still can’t leave her or her children alone!
…and now with her new book coming out – again – just like most if not all ex-politicos out there getting paid a good sum of money for – the left is not only complaining, joking and smearing – but even complaining about the people who put her words on paper and who are publishing her book!
According to an article by Neal Broverman in the Advocate…
* Sarah Palin’s soon to be released memoir was mostly written by a woman (Lynn Vincent) who is a “fanatical homophobe.”
* That Jonathan Burmham of HaperCollins, the publisher of Palin’s book – AND – a gay man – is some kind of traitor to the gay because…
"As gay people prepare to march for their civil rights, Burnham, one of the more powerful gay men in New York, is preparing to capitalize on their avowed enemies."
So – Is Sarah Palin, is an “avowed enemy” of gay people?
Last I knew, an “enemy” used in this context, is someone who is out to destroy the other side – in this case – gay people – but is that REALLY true?
I know she is a licensed gun owner, an avid hunter, and a staunch Christian. Does that somehow make her someone out to DESTROY a part of society?
Or is it simply that she disagrees with your position your beliefs and your lifestyle – and therefore an enemy and needs to be destroyed?
THAT my friends is a very sad position to take – and one of the very reasons that these here United States of America are become more and more UN-united, hateful, spiteful – and in some cases down right dangerous. Why is it we cannot disagree with each other, and respect each others opinion and at least TRY to come to some kind of amicable solution without the smearing, name calling, and other childish, school yard bulling? If BOTH sides of this discussion could stop acting like kindergarten students – then MAYBE, just MAYBE a solution can be found – but if both sides insist on continuing the hateful dialogue, false accusations, smearing etc…then I’m afraid to say that there will never be a solution that both sides can live with.
Think about it
Uncle Mike
“What makes her so dangerous...”
Some of it is envy: she is articulate, has lots of followers, speaks the truth, and well, most other qualities the left lacks, including inner/outer beauty.
Fear. Absolutely. I think she's gonna run...and so do they.
I assume you meant "ferocity"?
You beat me to it.
FEAR.
They know she’s gonna run. Their pre-emptive strikes get more feebleminded , paranoid, and histrionic as Sarah gathers more momentum.
I meant nothing: “Uncle Mike” wrote this article, not 2ndDivisionVet.
They are the ones who will end up bringing violence to our once ordered society, and they will have no one to blame but themselves for the results.
I think they are looking at her book, a best seller in PRE-SALES, and passing construction materials...
OK. We can chalk it up to him using spellcheck too quickly. ;~)
They are terrified that she can beat Obama. I don’t care what any damn poll shows if she were no threat to Obama, they would be treating her with respect, but they continue to bash her, every word that comes out of her mouth is scrutinized. Notice they don’t go after Romney or Huckabee or Pawlenty, oh gee I wonder why
The upsurge in attacks has something to do with this, IMHO.
Going Rogue: An American Life
#1 at Borders Books
#1 at WalMart pre-release sales
#1 at Amazon non-fiction #3 in all books
#1 at Barnes and Noble in non-fiction, #4 in all books
#1 at Books a Million non-fiction
#2 at Family Christian Stores (despite selling for the full $28.99 price)
Just two days after pre-release orders started, a publishing industry insider told Politico that Gov. Palin’s book sales were “phenomenal.” Noting that it is unusual for a non-fiction book to have shot up to #1 at both Amazon and B&N.
The attacks are a feeble attempt to hold back the tsunami of book sales that is headed their way on Nov. 17th.
On a somewhat related note: Mitt Romney’s new book, due out March 2, 2010, was #80,233 at Amazon a little while ago, and no rating at all at B&N, and Bobby Jindal’s book, due out on January 18, 2010, had no rating at all on either BN or Amazon.
Here are some interesting Facebook Stats for those whose name has been mentioned as possible candidates in 2012:
Palin: 922,458
Huckabee: 120,124
Romney 79,301
Jindal: 69,295
Gingrich: 29,951
Pawlenty: 8,860
Santorum: 5,918
Wikipedia stats for the period May to August. Page views:
Palin: 827,229
Gingrich: 160,614
Jindal: 99,230
Romney: 85,806
Huckabee: 68,326
Santorum: 34,361
Pawlenty: 3,546
They hate, fear and underestimate her just as much they do regular Americans - and at their own peril.
Cold, sweaty, smelly fear. Simple as that.
Pray for Sarah. They truly are gunning for her.
Because she can actually win in 2012 and thus become the first woman President of the U.S., something that feminists and liberals had long envied for the Democrat Party and never envisioned for Republicans.
Seven months after Election Day, and the attacks on Sarah Palin keep coming.
On Monday, CBS's David Letterman on the "Late Show" shamelessly went after the Alaska governor and her family during his opening monologue, as well as in his "Top Ten" list.

Sandra Bernhard issued a blistering warning to Sarah Palin during a performance of her new one-woman show.
The Republican V.P. nom would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" if she enters Manhattan, Bernhard said. Palin is said to be making a campaign stop in New York next week.
"[The gang rape comment] is part of a much larger, nuanced, and yes, provocative (that's what I do) piece from my show about racism, freedom, women's rights and the extreme views of Governor Sarah Palin, a woman who doesn't believe that other women should have the right to choose," Bernhard told the Daily News today.
