I don’t understand how it is an “attack” to offer one’s opinion on the electability of a particular politician.

I don’t understand how it is an “attack” to offer one’s opinion on the electability of a particular politician.

When dealing with Sarah Palin infatuation, you are dealing with a Cult of Personality.

The object of adoration must not be challenged in any way as that constitutes an "attack". Instead of discussing practical matters such as electability or qualifications, all discussion must be nothing but ceaseless praise of the object of adoration.

Even the cold hard realities of the Planet Earth (see Post 29) seem to have absolutely no effect upon the members of the Cult of Personality.

What matters is the endless worship.

They would rather see Barack Hussein Obama guaranteed reelection as President in 2012 rather than admit that their object of adoration would make some of the least informed posters on Free Republic in 2008 look like geopolitical experts by comparison.

"Palin couldn't explain why North Korea and South Korea were separate nations. ..... Asked to identify the enemy that her son would be fighting in Iraq, she drew a blank. Later, on the plane, Palin said to her team: 'I wish I'd paid more attention to this stuff'."
