Actually, they DO hate Sarah. Not because of Sarah herself - they don't know her - but because of what she represents. She represents a proudly self-reliant, proudly faithful, proudly American woman from a small town who won't kowtow to the "wisdom" of her obvious superiors in the liberal elite, and who, in fact, disdains them. She knows all about the liberal/uber-feminist stance on issues, and she doesn't subscribe to one bit of it. They simply cannot believe that she even exists, let alone that she's wildly popular. It is so far from their worldview, so close to what Reagan was, that they despise her - because for them Reagan meant powerlessness and irrelevance, even belittlement. She is a complete shock to them, like a Cat 5 Hurricane Sarah hitting them out of a clear, blue sky with no warning. Cognitive dissonance, that's what this is for them, and they ain't dealing well with it.
