I don't generally agree with Alan Keyes, and I'm not going to comment on his opinion of Sarah Palin.

But I think there is some wisdom in his critique of at least SOME of her supporters (for which she cannot be personally blamed):

Do Sarah Palin's supporters want people to treat her the way the Obama's media clique treats him? Are we to be mesmerized by her words, but by no means analyze her actions?

There certainly is a lot of knee-jerk attacks on any negative opinions regarding Sarah Palin's views; worst in my opinion are those "supporters" who either try to deny what Sarah believes, or insist that she is just ignorant of the right opinions, and shouldn't be held accountable; or that she is lying about stuff out of loyalty.

All of these do disservice to Palin, who is a strong woman with opinions that need to be respected, not dismissed when those opinions don't fit the supporters preconceived notions.

Perhaps, posters who agree with Sarah and who disagree with you, are not "mesmerized" by Sarah. Perhaps it is you Charles, who is "PDS".

Or better yet, why don't you forget the they-must-be-mesmerized pejorative that you initiate and just debate the Sarah Palin things that you disagree with?

It works both ways Charles and I would add that I've never been attacked for saying that Sarah was wrong to support McNut, for example.

BTW, to compare an enthusiatic supporter of Palin, who may be right 90% of the time, with an enthusiastic supporter of Obama, who is right Zero percent of the time, is just plain wrong.
