Both the American thinker article and the Conservatives4palin commentary are right on. The elites in both parties, the people in the establishment and the media is afraid of Palin.

The position of maximum flak is usually directly over the target.

PDS is by no means limited to self-described liberals. Liberals who call themselves conservatives [...] also suffer from advanced cases.

As certain shrill, insistent posters hereabouts have amply demonstrated, over the past several days: this is, sadly, all too true.

Those who fear Sarah Palin are those whom have something to fear. They are Leftists.

The only reason to fear Sarah Palin is that she is not one of them, and she has, and still is creating a HUGE following, because she is not a Leftist like them.

Sarah Palin is a true Conservative, and that is why #1 she is gaining traction everywhere she goes, and #2 the Left, be they Democrat, RINO, Greenie, whatever are scared to death of her, and her skirt-tails.

She is there as America awakens.

"...C. Edmund Wright, at American Thinker, has an interesting article today about the mental illness which has afflicted liberals and establishment Republicans: Palin Derangement Syndrome, or PDS as it's referred to in the relevant academic literature. PDS, of course, is a relatively new psychosis having first been observed approximately 15 months ago..."

ROLF! I definitely have PDS! and the only think it can cure it is a "Shot of SP2012" :)

All the Pubbie moderates/elites who dislike Palin don’t understand her basic appeal to grassroots Pubbies. What they don’t realize is the grassroots doesn’t want some egghead who knows the name of the undersecretary of sanitation for Weirdistan and other wonkish facts. They want a leader with a spine of steel. Someone who knows what conservatism stands for and will not deviate.

I am totally bemused by the Pailin phenom. Believe it or not she is the result of the MSM smear tactics used in her. All they did was bring her to the forefront, and this lady knows how to handle and profit from it. Hutzpah ! Go get em Sarah!
This is how to defeat those evil forces it starts with Congress

In addition to PDS, there may be a milder form which I will call - for lack of any better term - "Palin Libel Disorder." I was in a position last week to overhear a group of nominally apolitical, middle-class, middle-aged women that have no post-secondary education to speak of.

In a nutshell, these women all admitted to knowing "nothing" or "little" about Sarah Palin's politics, but they all had an opinion, nearly all of which was based on what these females had picked up from the MSM. It was embarrassing to hear such ignorance on display, although I was not greatly surprised by it. The pop psychologist in me also picked up on a jealousy component, but given the crowd, they'd likely be jealous of anyone this side of Helen Thomas.

From NewsBusters.org, June 9, 2009...

Seven months after Election Day, and the attacks on Sarah Palin keep coming.

On Monday, CBS's David Letterman on the "Late Show" shamelessly went after the Alaska governor and her family during his opening monologue, as well as in his "Top Ten" list.

Top Ten Highlights Of Sarah Palin's Trip To New York

10. Visited New York landmarks she normally only sees from Alaska

9. Laughed at all the crazy-looking foreigners entering the U.N.

8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray

7. Keyed Tina Fey's car

6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack

5. Made coat out of New York City rat pelts

4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn't tell the difference.

3. Finally met one of those Jewish people Mel Gibson's always talking about

2. Bought makeup from Bloomingdale's to update her "slutty flight attendant" look

1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman

Sandra Bernhard issues 'gang rape' warning to Sarah Palin

BY TRACY MILLER
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
September 19th 2008

Sandra Bernhard issued a blistering warning to Sarah Palin during a performance of her new one-woman show.

The Republican V.P. nom would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" if she enters Manhattan, Bernhard said. Palin is said to be making a campaign stop in New York next week.

"[The gang rape comment] is part of a much larger, nuanced, and yes, provocative (that's what I do) piece from my show about racism, freedom, women's rights and the extreme views of Governor Sarah Palin, a woman who doesn't believe that other women should have the right to choose," Bernhard told the Daily News today.

To the Left, Sarah Palin represents the likely end of their legalized baby killing spree, which is the pillar of feminsim and the cult of 'self'. In other words, the end of the perpetual party.

Palin also represents the rise of Christianity to these people, which they dread because it sheds light on their shallow, narcissistic lives, a light they simply cannot live with in peace. Hence they feel they must destroy Palin before she even has a chance to run for the White House again. They fear this woman like cock roaches fear the light because they believe their empire of 'self' will tumble to destruction like a landslide when conservatives and the "Christian right" shine the light of truth on abortion, feminism, empowered perverts and faithlessness. Of course Sarah Palin doesn't have the power to do any of this, but the light she brings with her does. Palin, as the bearer of Christian light and conservative values, threatens the security of the Left so deeply that they would literally tear her apart like lions if they could.

I have never seen such outright hatred in my life as the left has for Palin. She knows this of course, but what the Left is too blind to see is that it only serves to make her stronger and more determined, as well as those who support her. The Left will ultimately lose, because hatred is like acid, it will eventually eat through its own container.

They want a leader with a spine of steel. Someone who knows what conservatism stands for and will not deviate.

Outstanding observation, and entirely correct.

The same Republican elites and moderates were saying the same things about Reagan in his day. They were mystified by him, and they don't understand Sarah Palin's appeal, either. They never will.

But there's no question that a huge segment of the American people see in Sarah Palin the same things that they saw in Ronald Reagan and other great leaders before him. They see someone who totally gets the fundamental basics of Americanism, from our Founding Ideals, to our need (and total ability) to become energy independent.

Sarah Palin is the genuine article, and average Americans plainly see that. So do the leftists, liberals, RINOs, and country club Republicans, which is precisely why they attack her.
