I thought so too, on first glance, but when I actually read the piece, he was criticizing the left making a judgment on her as the result of the satire rather than making a judgment on her as the result of her stand on issues.
Like I said, it appears that today is the day to put in the "balanced" pieces (so they can point to those few articles and say -- "See, we are being fair")
They will never be balanced in the eyes of at least half of America..Sarah Palin has been the latest sacrifice to their hedonism. God knows and sees all..His way is not man’s way no matter how powerful man might feel at any point in history. We are all flesh and blood with finite minds and dying bodies..And, after we leave here, our soul will rest in peace or writhe in torment, depending on what we believe and how we chose to demonstrate that belief during this gift of life. No matter how powerful the powerful feel, they are not the Creator and when they begin to overtly use their power to choose who wins and who loses in society, they lose and no poll will reverse that. Just remember, “Render unto Caeser what is Caeser’s,” and give your true committment to the true Creator of the Universe. People turn to God in a mighty way when persecution comes down..Look for it. Sarah Palin is the poster child for it’s serious beginnings in the US. I have never witnessed anything like the unwarranted hatred coming against her. It is truly diabolical.
They are doing it now when they believe its too late to matter.
