For some reason a lot of incredibly irrational people hate Peggy Noonan.

That is a bit much. Noonan is a subject of fair comment, and when she goes off into the fuzzy, day dreaming as a substitute for ruminating, fact free, speculative, opaque, pointless twilight zone, it is fair comment to observe as much. That ain't hate, and it ain't irrational.
