I agree that the attempt to destroy Sarah is about politics.
My wife, a very intelligent and savvy lady says it is about gender. She is strongly pro-women, but not a radical feminist. She says that the reason the MSM is trying to destroy Sarah is because it is still run/dominated by men. Men in power find Sarah a huge threat (not me and most of us).

Men in power=males in the msm are not only nancy girls note pink ties.
I think the thing that Palin threatens the most is the pro-abort community. Their three key defenses for their desire to abort anyone are: “(1) What if your life was in jeopardy from the pregnancy? You’d be prochoice then; (2) What if it were YOUR daughter who were pregnant? You’d be prochoice then; and (3) What if your child had birth defects? You’d be prochoice then.”
Theoretical pro-life answers to these theoretical questions are summarily dismissed. But Gov Palin can answer at least two of them with past actions rather than just words. She did have a baby she knew had Down’s Syndrome. Her 17 year old daughter IS keeping the baby that was conceived out of wedlock.
I think the fact that she can look liberals square in the eye and answer how she DID respond scares them to death.
I am conservative on more than abortion/life, and Palin seems to be as well. But she has irrefutable arguments to make in the abortion debate.
Its both. The left thinks they own feminism. They view her as an affront to it. Of course, we now know, thanks to the idiots in NOW, that feminism means you have to be pro-abortion. If you aren’t, then you aren’t for womens rights and can not, therefore, be a feminist.
I do believe that Sarah is a thread to the MSM but if Sarah were a guy saying the same things and connected with folks the way Sarah did, he would be a threat to the MSM too! It is because the MSM is totally liberal in my view. Even FOX now has lost a great deal of their “fair and balance”!
When my hubby and I first heard Sarah speak it was her convention night speech. She got into her speech a little and with the first cheers from the crowd, my sweetie said “What a breath of fresh air she is!” He took the words right out of my mouth, but then, we do think alike.:)
We attended three rally events here in FL to see Sarah and at every one I would say the men to women were equal. She was and is a breath of fresh air to every conservative! We look forward to voting for Sarah again!
Any conservative like Sarah whether a woman or a man will be a thread to liberals and the RINO’s in the Republican Party. We can take the Republican Party back by supporting only the true conservatives. We must work to weed out the RINO’s. I am going to work with many others in Florida to help Senator Martinez get to begin his retirement from the US Senate in 2010.
“My wife, a very intelligent and savvy lady says it is about gender.”
There were some mistakes made as well; one involved a Canadian radio station’s practical joke. It happened just before Election Day and was pretty much the last straw for some voters. Add to that the idea that Sarah would outlaw all abortion, including cases of rape and incest; outlaw all birth control; make women pay for their own rape kits and not make the morning after pill available; and add to that the viciousness of women attacking other women which is human nature, and there you go.
It is, and always will be, about abortion.
