If you needed any more evidence as to how frightened liberals are of Sarah Palin, you got it during Friday's "Real Time" on HBO.
In fact, the panel discussion featuring The Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan, author Naomi Klein, and hip hop singer Will.I.Am was potentially the finest example of Palin Derangement Syndrome seen on television since she was first announced as John McCain's running mate three weeks ago.
From Sullivan calling her "a farce" and her nomination "the most irresponsible act any candidate has ever made," to Klein saying "she's basically Bush in drag," and Maher calling her "not very bright and not very knowledgable," this was the mother of all pound Palin sessions (video available here courtesy our friend MsUnderestimated):
BILL MAHER, HOST: This is not about her being a woman. It's about her being not very bright, and not very knowledgable. I mean, forget even experience.
NAOMI KLEIN, AUTHOR: But I mean, the thing about Palin is, is, you know, that the sort of liberal talking point about McCain is that he's four more years of Bush. Palin is much closer to four more years of Bush. I mean, you have all of these traits in common. A fear of blinking, for instance, which clearly McCain doesn't share with all that blinking. Um, you know, just a certainty that is completely uncommensurate with any knowledge or experience. Secrecy and an unwillingness to cooperate with inquiries. A belief that foreign policy is dictated by God. I mean, she's basically Bush in drag, and then when you add the hunting, when you add the hunting, you've got Cheney. You know, it's Bush and Cheney in one with the hunting. So, you know, she's four more years.

Now that Obama has surged ahead again, look for the leftists, commies ans socialists to really step up their nastiness.
McCain made the right choice. Obama surging ahead is just the MSM manufacturing the surge for their Obamamessiah.
Who cares what that fag has to say?
“Now that Obama has surged ahead again”
“Surged ahead”? LOL. At best he is tied and most likely he is still behind - especially in key swing states.
If the libtards were delighted with the pick, I’d be worried.
Andrew Sullivan’s policy positions are driven exclusively by his interest in insuring unrestricted sphincter access.
Maher wouldn’t know bright if the flash from a nuclear explosion happened right in his face. He thinks he’s some political expert now just because all the other Hollywood political “experts” applaud him.
I’m not worried, the media polls had Kerry winning until the votes were counted, and then they tried to pretend that they didn’t understand what happened.
Andrew Sullivan being conceived: The most irresponsible act two human beings ever participated in.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
The fact that these ignorant sphincters don’t like her is a very positive sign.
Surged ahead? I think not. At best 0bama is in a tie (according to most polls in the swing states). Now...remove ‘white guilt’ (ie., I am not going to tell this pollster that I am a registered Dem and I am not going to vote for 0Bama) and McCain is further out ahead. And I base my opinion from living in the bitter, clingy, battleground, now purple, Commonwealth of PA.
Obama has historically polled 4% higher than his actual results
Maybe it's closet racism, who knows.
You should figure he is really 4% worse off than the polls are telling us.
The real irony is the liberals' insisting that Governor Palin is unqualified for the Vice President slot when their candidate for President is far less qualified for either slot that is Sarah Palin.
BILL MAHER, HOST: This is not about her being a woman. It’s about her being not very bright, and not very knowledgable. I mean, forget even experience..... WHERE in God’s name did this talentless, unfunny, effete, ignorant prick get the authority to talk about people’s intelligence? He questions her ability in other articles and more or less states “She’s a woman. She’s unqualified.” Where is the outrage? If he was as at LEAST as smart as Biden (STAND UP CHUCK! YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!)he should be the VP choice for the Commies.
