Because she is not highly educated. All those writers are her age and still paying off their student loans.

This is just the surface of the attacks. Their favorite, of course, is to laugh at her for saying that she can see Russia from her house. She said it to make a point that Russian land, is indeed, only THREE miles from Alaskan land. (Diomede islands)
This is a great example of what the left and the elitists are trying to do. That is, to tell a lie or innuendo enough times, and even her supporters start to believe it.
Sara Palin NEVER said that. It was Tina Fey in a Saturday Night Live parody of Palin. Yet, even you, who I imagine is a good conservative, believes it. Be careful, very careful. Their lies are poison.
She did tease about it on her TLC show "Sarah Palin's Alaska." Liberals HATE Conservative humor because the only kind they know is mean-spirited and full of vitriol. They react to ridicule and teasing and sarcasm and satire with a blast of anger and hatred.
As Elbert Hubbard said: If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost; you can still call him vile names.
Sarah Palin 'takes it' because she doesn't allow the meanness to affect who she is. And she knows it's "their" problem, so she doesn't make it hers.

Well, at least with some of these people, it’s like asking...why do alcoholics drink? Why do drug addicts use? Why does Keith Olbermann behave like a douche? Answer: they’re compelled to.

It is not poison to me. I have not been in the USSA in the past seven years, and if I were there, I would not be watching Sat. Night Live.
I am merely commenting on the stupidity of whats left of America.
IIRC, Sarah did respond to the so called joke.

She didn't say it, Tina Fey said it. What Sarah said was, "They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."

Same as picking on Bush, it’s the self-assurance that borders on smugness.

Some would rather be led by a smooth talking, diabolical scumbag than a folksy, average minded peach that speaks common sense and wholesome values.
Those #ers can go pound sand.

They fear and smear her because, to put it simply, she is not Illuminati. They can't buy her or control her. What they've dredged up out of her closet is totally weak. If she gets in, they won't be able to blackmail her.
And, most importantly, when they block President Palin from helping the average American, she will go on TV and "tattle" and name the names. They would have no way to shut her up when she speaks the simple and almost childlike Truth directly to the People.

all good points, but I will add to distract from the fact that Obama sucks.

I can’t even formulate words to describe a media that will ignore all of the things that are going on right now in favor of standing guard at Willow Palin’s facebook page.

They hate her because she represents the heart and soul of what America truly IS, and FEAR that we are resonating with her-!

What amazes me is that this thread went 19 posts before anyone picked up the dip-stick writer's reference to Mona Charen, Peggy Noonan, Joe Scarborough, Matt Labash and George Will as "conservatives."
Man, this jumped out at me right off the bat.
Today's addled "journalists" manage to screw up their articles before they even get into the meat and potatoes.

Sarah never said she could see Russia from her house. She said you could see Russia from ALASKA, and she’s right.

I suppose the media answer to that question is “why not?”
