Well there was Bush Derangement Syndrom so how ‘bout:
Palin + Insane = Palinsane
I would have to say some who call themselves conservative also went insane in their disdain for the lady.
Maybe not as deeply as the lamestream media did, but insane just the same.
She wasn’t part of the DC/New York Media Cocktail Party circuit, she didn’t abort her child, or force her daughter to abort, and she challenged the established liberal staus quo for women. Only DEMOCRAT women are allowed to succsessful, since Republicans HATE WOMEN, doncha know.
But, most importantly, she threatened the Democrats base of support among YOUNG WOMEN, by showing them that they COULD succeed without a government program, or a wellfare check. AND THAT COULD NOT BE ALLOWED.
Like Joe-The-Plumber, she threatened established Democrat Propoganda points, and therefor had to be DESTROYED.
And if you ask an uninformed sheeple today (the VAST majority of American Voters), they will STILL tell you she is a “Brain-Dead Idiot”.

“Just what is it about this woman who had initially been received well by the majority of the country that stirred up so much hatred and vitriol...”
She scared them. They looked at the poll numbers and thought they had it in the bag. Then came her nomination, and things began to slide. The hate follows from the fear.
Can’t help it... re-reading all this crap makes me long for the inevitable showdown with these punks.
I do not know who angers me more:
1) the unprovoked and vicious media attacks on Gov Palin before,during and after the election
or
2)the GOP and John Mccain for not defending Gov Palin’s reputation , blaming Gov Palin for Mccain’s defeat and Mccains staff for undermining Gov Palin at every chance they got.
Flame away, but I won’t give a DIME to the GOP but I would pull the lever for Gov Palin in 2012 in a heartbeat!!!
That's part of the problem. 'Journalism' used to be a craft. The education was an apprenticeship and you learned OJT.
Now journalism is an elite profession. Not only that, if you went to Columbia School of Journalism you 'outrank' a colleague that attended a state-related college. Once you reach the rarified air of the national News media you seem to see fewer of the latter type. Snobbery reigns supreme.
Good article.
I would also add that the media has been so conditioned to ignore Dhimmirats who lie and obfuscate everything, that its hard for them to imagine that there just might be an honest candidate or politician still left in the world.
Has a Dhimmirat in the last 50 years run on their actual beliefs, record or core values? No. Instead you get Kerry “gettin a huntin’ license”, or Dukakis in a tank, or Obama trying to move to the right of McCain, which isn’t that hard.
I can proudly say I don’t watch news on any mainstream network. I don’t buy the New York Times, Newsweek or any other Dhimmirat-supporting rag. Whenever possible, I will not buy merchandise or services from advertisers that support their propaganda. Am I extreme? Heck no. This is what you get when you have a media with an agenda that refuses to report the news even somewhat objectively. The more people follow my example, the quicker the mainstream media will have to change or go away.
"Just as prominent African-American conservatives like Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, Condi Rice et. al. were castigated as sell-outs and Uncle Toms, so too Sarah Palin proved a woman can hunt, dress a moose, raise five kids, run the largest state in the country, and excel on her own merit alone, without familial ties or matrimony to powerful men unlike a Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, or Diane Feinstein without mastery in Ivy League oppression studies, rabid support for all forms of abortion, or a general off-putting attitude that suggests all men are evil and somehow stand in their way. Palins success essentially said to girls, If you want, theres another route you can travel.
Before Barack Obamas election, only two Democrats had been elected to the White House since 1968 (Carter and Clinton). Both were from the South and at least portrayed themselves as centrist moderates at the time of their election. Neither of them would have reached the presidency without an unusual variable (Watergate for Carter, Ross Perots third candidacy for Clinton).
Democrats in 2008 were aware of this. They knew they have had a poor showing during the last four decades. And at least demographically, they still know they need to rely on a few core blocs to ever get elected again namely, minorities and women. "
Just WOW! WOW! WOW!
How dare she run, she never went to an Ivy League School, never was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, never even wrote a credit default swap.
Why would we want someone who hasn’t been instrumental in destroying out nation?
