The Crushing of Sarah Palin

She will need all the protection both political and personal that conservatives can give her.

[DannyTN]

Yeah, the MSM is going to attack Sarah for the next 4 years. It also looks like they are going to try to promote Romney to the republicans for the next 4 years.

[Hardastarboard]

The way I see it, after 0bama establishes the precedent of prosecuting and jailing journalists that write unfavorable articles about the President, we’ll elect Sarah to the Presidency and she can get her revenge.

Sarah Palin has become the Joan of Arc for the conservative right, and now we know how many forces and interests (national and international) absolutely scorn and HATE the conservative right. Anyone who mentions God or (heaven forbid) Jesus in a respectful way- is to be ridiculed and feared as an “armband wearing” oogley googley religion.

.... and that’s just within the GOP!

[SolidWood]

She won't get crushed. If the media succeeds in tearing her down, it will be a precedent to EVERY conservative who ever rears his or her head. They want to make a clear example to us: "Don't challenge the criminal liberal establishment or we'll not only destroy you, but also your family."

They aren't only trying to destroy her, but the whole conservative movement. The next conservative rising star will get the same treatment.

[Canedawg]

On one hand she continues to be attacked by those who fear her, but on the other hand, she is being inundated with book, film and TV offers:

I hope she chooses wisely.

[RetiredArmy]

They will do their level, or unlevel, best to destroy her NOW. Then she will be no threat in 2012. That is why they are still after her. They see the threat.

[OldEagle]

I really doubt that it is only her anti- abortion stance that they fear. In my opinion they fear her because she has connected with conservative Americans better than any other politician. She has awakened the sleeping giant whom they fear.

[raybbr]

In fact, it can be summed up thusly: she's a woman opposed to abortion.

That's far too simple a reason. There are a lot of reasons they don't like her - this is just one.

[hampdenkid]

The real savaging of Sarah now is coming from the exact same source who originated and perpetrated it during the campaign: McCain and RNC insiders. The good old boys know that if Sarah succeeds, they will be gone old boys (as well they should be), so they will do anything to help bring about her demise. That’s just the way the game is played, folks.

[Coldwater Creek]

Romney got my vote once. not again.

[Flintlock]

It ain’t just abortion.
It’s also the kids, the reforms, hunting, the hubby, the gun thing......
But also—SHE WAS THE ONLY CONSERVATIVE on either ticket.

Can’t have THAT now, can we?

[Cvengr]

The difference is that Sarah is honorable enough to respect freedom of speech, and doesn’t view revenge as a mechanism to satiate adversarial accusations.

Her enemies hate Christ within her far before they hate her, but fail to identify exactly what it is they really hate. They are victims of their own natures which they refuse to control.

[Elvina]

"Don't challenge the criminal liberal establishment or we'll not only destroy you, but also your family."

I am sure that she had some idea what would happen when she agreed to run for VP, but no one could imagine that it would have gotten as bad as it did. The sad thing is the number of young people who have no idea who Sarah Palin really is, because they get all of their news from SNL, The Colbert Report, or their NEA teachers. My husband happened to have The Colbert Report on one day before the election and I could not believe how nasty he was being to Palin. It was embarassing.

[FightThePower!]

When Sarah Palin was first name the VP nominee, that they would turn her into Dan Quayle. That is exactly what they did.

I guess it means that almost everyone is an idiot. If you went to a public University, if you are not from the East or West coast. You too are an idiot.

We need to stop these people. I don't think will be able to do it using their tactics. We need to have a war against them.

[RoadKingSE]

A black who can think and act independently is likely to be the victim of a "high-tech lynching," as Justice Thomas referred to it during the outrageous Anita Hill imbroglio.

And who held the noose? None other than the former Senate Judiciary Committee Chair and current Veep-Elect, the one and only, Joe Lunchbucket!

[holden]

Obama, when asked about Justice Thomas during the campaign, said, with obsequious submission, that he would not have nominated him.

Ha!   The allegedly-converted Muslim, empty-suit, Arab mullato wouldn't have nominated the entirely self-made, stellar black jurist!
