My wife maintains that in almost every way Sarah highlights the shortcomings of her critics and that is what triggers the hatred. She makes women and men feel inadequate. In a moment of clarity, I decided that I agree with my wife.
True in many cases, without a doubt.
Cannot discount, however; those she makes feel superior. Sara is 'matter out of place' which makes her a walking abomination to them (not unlike the 'cows' per Glen Beck's metaphor of ranchers/cows i.e.; Sarah is a cow; outside the fence and is being afforded 'rancher status' - worse that she even imagines she is a 'rancher' - and they HATE it. Their arrogance will not allow it.
People of the Lie fear the light of truth more than anything. And no question, Sarah carries that light.
