Ask Matt Labash: An apology to Sarah Palin, and nature vs. nurture (Goodbye Daily Caller)
Dailly Caller ^ | 05/31/2011 | Matt Labash

Posted on 05/30/2011 10:24:32 PM PDT by Rational Thought

When I disparaged you before, I didn’t take into account what you mean to the people of Alaska, where despite your approval rating being around 36 percent, many would follow you to Scottsdale, Arizona, where you might be moving away from them. Nor did I consider what you mean to this country. So that it makes sense that you would tour it by riding across it in a bus. Probably in the front of the bus. Just like Rosa Parks. Because you’re kind of like a white Rosa Parks. Except you’ve taken it so far beyond what Ms. Parks ever dreamed of. Because she just rode the bus. But you own the bus. Or at least lease it. So that riffraff like Rosa won’t try to hog all the seats/attention.

snip

So I look forward to seeing you turn up in historical hotspots, like maybe colonial Williamsburg, which, as students of history like you know, is the place where you can take really cool tourist photos of Todd’s face in the stockade. That would be a hoot. Or maybe you could visit the historic Medieval Times in Baltimore, where Francis Scott Key famously composed “The Star Spangled Banner” while jousting for a tankard of mead. Wherever you go, I won’t be there physically. Gas is four bucks a gallon, and there’s no time, besides. I’ll be too busy fashioning my Palin hair-doll shrine which I hope to exhibit at your nominating convention. (I bought a lock of it from Brandon — he’s a collector.) But as Third Day so eloquently sang in your reality show theme song, I will, in spirit, “follow you there.” In fact, as your old patron once said of Osama bin Laden, I would follow you to the gates of hell, which is where I suspect your campaign is headed, if you ever formally launch one in between publicity tours. So here’s hoping all’s forgiven.

Your vassal, ML

That entire screed was beyond pathetic. What is it with these people, in their unbridled hatred for Sarah Palin have they gone completely insane? I know one thing, this is becoming dangerous and I fear it will trip wire some unhinged fool to attempt something.

Small wonder the Palin’s are not letting their itinerary as to time and places become widely known.

Yes, they know they’ve got to try and take her out before she gets in. Once she’s in, there’s no stopping her!

They can't accuse her of racism, but writers like this one Just Know that she MUST be because, well, you know, THOSE people are all racists!

This is the crap that is destroying any kind of discourse in this country. I almost wrote 'rational' but even that kind is rare.

Sad, and not going to get better.

Other than that, his column reads like an Ed Schultz screed.

Hadn't thought about that. Maybe it's like Anthony Weiner's situation, and Ed Shultz hacked the Labash Daily Caller site.

This is really pathetic writing. I can enjoy good political satire even if it targets one of my favorites...but this is sad.

Here's a parody of the Palin Hatin' Press that is better written...and waaaay funnier.

I Still Hate You, Sarah Palin

Heh, heh. Wouldn't surprise me.

Here's the e-mail I sent to Matt Labash....

Dear Mr. Labash, I suspect you are prepared for a rash of hate mail from Sarah Palin followers (aka Palinistas) in response to your Apology column.

I, for one, would like to come to your defense in advance of the deluge.

I applaud your self-restraint. In your effort to garner attention, at least you did not refer to Mrs. Palin as a slut.

In my book, that puts you a notch above Ed Schultz.

Sincerely,
(Texas Eagle)
(Small Northern CA town)

I am just here to say I have no comment.

But it is a poignant and pointed no comment.

For the record.

The way he ended his letter (”I would follow you to the gates of hell”), you might want to ask him if he thinks he’s another Herman Melville, without talent?

Huh? Can someone translate this for me? This is one of the most poorly written sentences I've ever seen online.

Daily Caller trying out for job at Newsweak.

Seriously - who would throw the credibility of an entire online organization away that cheaply?

It isn’t even good satire - it is just childish drivel.

“This is one of the most poorly written sentences I’ve ever seen online.”

Yes, that was a hash, wasn’t it? Actually the whole article seems very slap-dash. It’s like it’s a first draft rather than a finished piece.

Fall of 2008 is when Sarah Palin became the litmus test for Conservatism. Politics have become a lot clearer for me.

BINGO.

Since Sarah first came to national attention in 2008, it's been clear to me that so-called Republicans who oppose her, are either pathologically ignorant, or they're establishment RINOs. Sometimes they're both.

Everyone else who's against her is squarely on the enemy side.

It is SO COOL to see how totally, publicly, ape sh-t insane Sarah Palin drives these folks! Blat on, Matt Labash! Blat on! Maybe by the time Sarah is elected president you will have published posthumously an account of how she drove you to suicide. We'll throw a few wilted pansies on your grave in memory of your great insight.
