As my colleague Janet Daley notes, ConservativeHome USA has declared war on Sarah Palin, rounding up US conservatives who think she’d be a disaster as the next Republican presidential candidate. What I find strange, however, is the way it’s gone about it. In a piece signed by “The Editors”, ConHomeUSA has awarded anti-Palin Republicans the melodramatic title of “Truth Tellers”. And, rather bizarrely, it is recruiting for more:
If you are a Truth Teller, or want to recommend a commentator who is, email us here.
Don’t get me wrong. I think Sarah Palin is basically nuts, as I suggested when she started tossing around the phrase “blood libel” after she was unfairly attacked over the Tucson shootings. If she wins the Republican nomination, and even if she doesn’t but stops her fan base voting for the GOP, then she’ll have landed us with eight years of Obama – a sin crying out to heaven for the vengeance, as the old Catechism puts it.
Still, there’s something about the rounding up of anti-Palin commentators by “The Editors” that reminds me of ritual group denunciation in the Eastern Bloc. Also, I’m really not convinced by this observation:
Because of her popularity, many have been afraid to say openly about her what they whisper in private. But a few brave souls have stepped out and said about Sarah Palin what others think but are unwilling to say.
Actually, I don’t think you have to be brave to attack Sarah Palin, just willing to put up with the snarls of her supporters. And you won’t get many of those if you’re writing in the New York Times, where the brilliant Ross Douthat – one of the few columnists allowed to challenge the paper’s suffocating liberal pomposity – had this to say(continued)

BTW: Is Damian male or female? Buehler? Buehler?
I think the muslim loving UK is NUTS.
Rotsa ruck.
I’m not a Palin “supporter” but I’m not going to come out against any good conservative.
FYI
Why does London need a “religion reporter”? They don’t have religion over there anymore, do they?
ConHome is... Newts? Norquists? who runs that crapzine?
Shouldn’t the UK be more concerned about those “Peace loving Muslims” who want to take control of all of Europe
>>Why does London need a “religion reporter”? They don’t have religion over there anymore, do they?<<
Sure they do.
islam.
;o) That thought came to my mind just AFTER I hit “Post”. GMTA!
What??
Sounds like they’re advertising for fake “conservatives” like David Frum.
She’s not my first choice, but we could do a lot worse, and I’d have no problem voting for her if she got the nomination.
Ditto.
I've expected this attack from the RINO's.
Sure they do. Islam
Using the term “blood libel” one time is now called tossing it around?
The people that dug those two words out of her eight minute long video are the ones tossing the phrase around.
ConservativeHome appears to be a fairly new outfit.
There’s a link to DavidFrum at the bottom, and Frum is involved in announcing its formation. I don’t know if he’s behind it.
But the whole thing is obviously bogus.

It as there, wasn’t it? LOL
It was there, wasn’t it? LOL
Not one conservative among the supposedly conservatives pictured. Mostly elitists.
LLS
So, I guess they are publicly saying;
“I got nothin, outta ammo and need help”
LOL!
