I have defended Sarah from the beginning, always, and I still do. I have also defended other candidates so I don’t know what double standard you are talking about.

I'm talking about the fact that you singled out Palin supporters for sole and special criticism, in regards to flaming posts.

Of all supporter contingents on this website, we Palin supporters have been taking more flak, for a longer period of time, than any other group. We even had to borrow a term from Dubya's days in office to describe it - PDS. Next to Obama, no other political figure has been more vilified and spat upon, on Free Republic, than Sarah Palin.

If you've really defended Palin "from the beginning" as you say, then you're well aware of the fact that her supporters didn't do anything to start the incessant warfare that has sprung up between her supporters and detractors. We simply committed the unforgivable crime of honestly admiring her, and for having the temerity to do so enthusiastically.

Even worse, we actually had the gall to defend her against malicious gossip-mongering and ad hominem attacks.

Alright, I think I got that out of my system. It wasn't aimed at you personally, but you sort of struck a nerve there. I understand your doubts about everything that's occurring, but hang in there. We've got a long way to go, and I believe that Sarah Palin will lead as always, in the coming difficult months.
