Perception is everything. People who reject Noonan's platitudes are not engaged in "hating" her as a person...but rejecting her perspectives. It's just easier to be casual about it.
But, perception is everything. Noonan presenting "as a conservative" ongoing comments and spin questions similar if not equal to those being presented by liberals means she's a liberal, at least tacking the liberal position.
I think her work with Reagan was probably just that: work with Reagan. Meaning, it was Reagan's talent that got Noonan the gold star status. Left to her own devices, she sounds more like Hillary with every passing month.
Liberals in Republican offices and candidacies are what loses races for Republicans.
