This constant praising of Andrew Sullivan from the right is ridiculous. The Sarah Palin-obsessed Sullivan is simply inoculating himself so that he can again return to virulent hatred of anyone who disagrees with the gay left agenda. He does this occasionally and it should fool no one.
I think I understand what you are saying, in other words Sullivan like so many homo’s wants to be hated, it is where there power comes from, there have been so many phony homo hate scheme’s that have failed to gin up more hate, so Sullivan is taking this different approach.
As for Palin he pretends to sympathize with the right, thinking this will also gin up more hatred, thereby increase the power of the homo’s.
