But, you're right. There are those on this side of the aisle who simply have an irrational dislike for Palin, and cannot overcome their bizarre compulsion to attack her on a conservative forum. As long as the forum owner permits this, it will continue.
Let's make a bet. I bet if she decides to run for POTUS the PDS posts here will get worse. Emotions will be much higher. I think a lot of these dudes (and some ladies) are hard-core religious folk. My (very) personal opinion is that on some level, they can't handle the fact that SP is not only an accomplished pol, she's attractive and sexy to boot. Even on this thread, pissant mentioned that some FReepers had invaded his Duncan Hunter thread with their "feminist mantras." There is a misogynist angle on this as well as a religious/moral one.
And even though it's frustrating to deal with the irrational, at least we're a forum that tolerates conflicting views. That's probably why a lot of us stay.
Accomplished...*snort*...before or after she resigned her post?
