Noonan cast herself out when she abandoned her (former) party and ideology and supported a radical socialist.
And to compare Noonan to Krauthammer is like comparing a lion to a flea.
Noonan is the flea in case there was any confusion.
What Noonan is to Krauthammer is not the issue here.
What's at issue is this idiotic tendency for large numbers of FReepers to condemn anybody who says something bad about Sarah Palin.
It's pretty disturbing to see FReepers acting like little girls defending their Teen-mag idols....
