The staunchest detractors are those who are afraid of the good in Sarah Palin, not the flaws.
"So Ms. Palin, apart from being annoyed that you are so skinny, pretty, funny, and have a yummy husband, I dug you, and it was a pleasure to meet you."
It sounds petty, but those are precisely the things that initially bother people about Palin.
Thank you! I couldn’t have said it any better!
I like Palin very much
BUT
she lacks gravitas. courting reality shows isn’t gonna get any either. if she can show a shrewd grasp ov worl dvents and their effects, then maybe....
Yep, for sure........There are those with questions about Sarah but they don’t hate her like some FR trolls who never say anything about Obama, the dems or even other conservatives maybe running for President.....all they do is attack her and then when faced with the facts they twist it to put her on a level of scrutiny that no man let alone a women could ever attain without finding fault
very interesting thesis
She is a citizen. She isn’t a professional politician promising everyone cookies- and people like their cookies.
Both the left and right have gotten used to the phrase “I’m from the government and I’m hear to help..” followed by their pet issues. People want a government hero to fix the problems- Palin is offering Conservative solutions which is get the government out of your way and you can fix your problems. Ronald Reagan mold.
The delusions and blindness of Palinistas is not only astounding it is scary. I could go on and answer each of your statments one by one but seriously, what’s the use? You live in a crafully contructed dream world and reject out of hand anything that might remotely disturb the fantasy.
All I can say is you’re in for a rude awakening when the tides of reality swamp your shores.
Liberals do this with a lot of things. They are not capable of serious self analysis. They lack the ability of deep, abstract thought. Their solutions are simplistic and often harsh - i.e. Communist/socialist/fascist solution for nearly everything - reeducation and death camps; liberals fear of guns - they fear they themselves can’t control shooting someone, so nobody can; green movement - see all the thousands of cars on the highway! we have to be doing more to impact climate change than the earth or the sun does!
As is typical of liberals, they project themselves onto their target. They hate themselves because they can see themselves liking Palin.
Of course the left sees this, too. This accounts for the non-stop Palin-bashing in the media (as well as the frequent mocking of Palin in some 'entertainment' venues) and the unfortunate but predictable infiltration of leftist trolls onto conservative websites like FR, always whining about Sarah Palin (but never Obama) and using the left's talking points left over from the Bush era ('she's dumb') or pretending to be oh-so 'concerned' uber-conservatives that endlessly call her 'a quitter' and accuse her of conservative heresy for endorsing the man who put her on the national stage, Johm McCain, in his run for re-election as senator from Arizona, as if this should instantly disqualify Palin from consideration for anything beyond being a political sideshow.
How convenient for the left if conservatives actually paid any attention to their lame attempts to persuade us to abandon the only conservative politician with a dedicated following and the chance to rid us of Obama and the rancid socialist crew now infesting the corridors of power in Washington, D.C.
Palin will be attacked remorselessly by the left and their minions as long as she remains a viable threat to the leftists. Her supporters will be called 'Kool-Aid drinkers' and 'sycophants' simply for supporting a bona fide conservative politician that could actually win the presidency in 2012. Imagine that.
They hate her because she isn’t some man hating, God disdaining, hoytitoyti, we are the world, internationalist, piece of troglodyke evolutionary dead end piece of liberal trash.
I think the fact that she is so attractive, like most conservative women are, is the one thing that scares liberals the most. In their twisted minds attractive women are stupid idiots who got everything the liberals did not get in school. They hate good looking women.
I can understand why the Left hates Palin, but when I seen negative comments about here on FR I’m suspicious right away. These anti-Palin comments I believe are coming from 6 main sources:
1) Ron Paul supporters.
The Paulista’s hate the idea of a rejuvenated GOP for it spells trouble for Ron Paul of ever getting more than 2 or 3 % of any Primary vote. Paul will fair better by having the GOP drag out the old horses from 2008, McCain, Romney, the Huckster, etc - so look for them to drag down any new faces, especially if they are Reagan conservatives.
2) Lyndon Larouche supporters.
Granted they are Lefties, but they love trolling. You’ve seen their information tables outside of post offices equally bashing Republicans and Democrats. You’ve seen them infiltrate Tea Parties and Town Halls with their provocative signs that draw news cameras like flies on you know what. If they’re not holding a sign they are still easy to spot by the black sharpie in their pocket, used to draw Hitler mustaches on any politician that’s not Larouche Remember the Obama Hitler mustache signs? That will be them.
3) Berthers.
I’m talking about the hard-core tinfoil hat Berthers. The ones who see Palin, Scott Brown, or any Republican as an enemy if they don’t latch on to their conspiracy theory and endorse their Berther candidates. Look folks, birth certificate or not, Obama is with us until 2012 like it or not. The war must be fought on a front where we can win, his socialist background and the path he wants to take us on that is where the fight is and must be if we want to win in 2012.
4) Scorched Earth Libertarians.
They see a RINO around every three. I don’t know how they grade conservatives, but ask one to name a Republican that is conservative enough to vote for, and they can’t give you a name. Tea party spokesman, Dale Robertson is one of these. Much like the Ron Paul people they see Palin and Scott Brown as a catalyst for the rebirth of the GOP, and a reborn GOP scares the hell out of them. I really believe they are angry at the resurgence of the GOP, because it means no chance of their Party from ever becoming any thing more than an annoyance. The scary thing is they are also trying to hijack the Tea Party and use it for their own purpose. They truly want to see 3 main parties on the Nov 2012 ballot, Republican Party, Democrat Party, & Tea Party. They need to learn a lesson about what Ross Perot did for us when he ran.
5) Hard-core Romney, or Huckabee supporters
Not everyone who supported Romney or Huckabee, or any of the other GOP candidates fall into this category, but there are a large number of them that are very jealous of this young Caribou Barbee upstart from Eskimo country who knocked their candidate off the radar screen. They fall prey to the news media stories about Palin being dumb as a box of rocks, and they are eager to assist the media by forwarding to forums and their e-mail address books any story critical of Palin. These are the most annoying of all because they really should know better than to assist liberals in dragging down conservatives.
6) IVY League Republicans .
Intellectuals who look down their noses at people from Alaska, or Fly-over Country.
I think most of them are fooled about who she is by their political affiliation and by the media smear that has been 24/7 since she was nominated in 2008. She's fighting back in that regard, and appears to be making fairly good headway.
Sure she's only six years old but she's SARAH AMERICA'S daughter so that makes her qualified to hold this nation's highest office after she reaches the age of thirty-five.
