Hanson has superior insight with historic perspective and the ability to express himself very clearly so it is a treat to read his take on Sarah. Not surprised he’s a fan.
Joe Biden did not know that FDR was not President in 1929 or that TV was still experimental—but given his status, the media shucked “Oh, that’s just Joe!” Obama can be clueless about state geography, a 50-state union, or the basics of US history, but that’s because “he’s tired and has so much on his mind.” Wasilla moms has no such margin of error.
VDH is missing the point here. He should have said, "Conservatives have no such margin of error." If Sarah had come from Connecticut exurbia, prep school, and Cornell University, that would buy her nothing on that count. 0bama and Biden get a pass purely because they are down with the struggle to enslave Middle America; Sarah is targeted because she can catalyze the resistance to enslavement.
