No, you need to face reality. George Bush was attacked just like Palin. He handled it like a man. She does not act as a private citizen, she comments as a FOX contributer. She puts herself out there and comments on political issues. That opens you up to attack. Do you really believe that no person can comment on her comments because she is a private citizen?. This piece attempts to attack Huckleberry for talking about Natalie Portman and going to the delusional extent of associating his remarks with Bristol. He is a private citizen too.
You dream all you like. It suits you. The truth is going to hit you smack dab between the eyes sooner rather than later.

Hyper-palinism on parade. I seem to remember a $3 million feature film made about the assassination of one George W. Bush not too long ago. I also remember crowds of a-holes chanting "hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today" for weeks outside the WH. IWhy, just this morning I saw pictures of 'protesters' comparing a governor who didn't quit to Hitler.
We also might want to think about Gerald Ford, George Wallace, JFK, Lincoln, RWR and a score of other politicians who have been a bit more seriously attacked than the governor of Alaska who quit.
Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Dan Quayle, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, Nancy Pelosi, Newt Gingrich, John McCain on FR threads, ......
.... especially as she is a private citizen, the same as you and me.
If Sarah Palin were merely a "a private citizen, the same as you and me", she would be yesterday's news .... like John Edwards.
But, she is not "a private citizen, the same as you and me". She is neck deep in current politics. She hints at being a 2012 Presidential candidate. She sticks her nose in Delaware Senate politics, gets a conservative nominated in a liberal state (with results as predictable as getting a liberal candidate nominated in a conservative state) and hands a Senate seat to the Obama forces on a silver platter. She takes every opportunity to be in the limelight, even to the point of doing Reality TV with Kate Gosselin.
Palin and Gosselin in the Mother of All Reality Shows
Liberals attack Sarah Palin for the same reason that we attack Nancy Pelosi: They are both very easy targets, they both have Unfavorable poll ratings that top 50% among all voters and we both want to paint them as the face of the opposing Party.
