Sarah Palin a “coward”?

Might as well call an eagle blind.

Very few, if any, of the unending Sarah Palin criticisms have substantive merit, but that comment is just slack-jawed yokel stupid.

And just yesterday I saw a known PDS’er calling her a coward on a Trump thread.

There are different types of courage and cowardice:

Physical: The individual with physical courage does not run and hide at the slightest sign of a physical danger. Sarah Palin has physical courage.

Moral: The individual with moral courage stands by his or her moral beliefs. Sarah Palin carried a Down's Syndrome child to term rather than abort it. Sarah Palin has moral courage.

Intellectual: The individual with intellectual courage can and does go into the Lion's Den and take on the most hostile questions of the most hostile interviewers.

Say what you will about Richard Nixon, the man had Intellectual Courage.

The intellectual coward hides from an intellectual show down. Obama does not have this type of courage.

Obama Hides from Press: No Conference Since July ... Observers couldn’t help but notice the irony: President Barack Obama on Monday signed the Press Freedom Act, then refused to take any questions from members of the press.

When not completely hiding, the intellectual coward "Preaches to the Choir" in an Echo Chamber ......

....... again and again and again and again .......

by seeking ultra-safe venues such as, in Sarah Palin's case, adoring Tea Party Rallies or FOX News interviws where she is gazed on with a puppy dog grin and tossed softball questions. "Come on Sean Hannity! Give me your best shot!" Sarah Palin does not have this type of courage.

Perseverance: The courage to finishing what one starts and persist in a course of action in spite of obstacles. This type of courage is summed up in the old saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Sarah Palin does not have this type of courage.
