The MSM and the RINO’s have had the long knives out in the last several days building up for the release of Palin’s book. She touches a nerve that few other political figures have for some time. The personal nature of the negative coverage exceeds that given to Bush or Cheney. I’ve never seen anything like this reaction.
Three things that I think drive them nuts are her strong stance on life issues, her common sense/conservative principles when it comes to policy, and most importantly, she took on obama and ridiculed him at the RNC last year. Noone had ridiculed him for his community organizer claims on his resume. Noone had officially made fun of his grandiose ego by pointing out the silliness of his “fake grek columns at his acceptance. Noone had dared look beyond his main sttribute as the first black presidential candidate to see the emptiness of his rhetoric, his lack of experience, or the danger in his positions.
She made fun of obama; she alinskied him. I don’t know if she’ll run as a candidate soon, but she has been very effective at drawing out all the politicians and pundits who hate/fear her more than they love their country. That is a very good thing in these dangerous times.
What we consider "over the top rhetoric" is standard fair for the left in their campaigns of personal destruction.
It makes me fear for her safety in these open to the public book signings.
