Some are getting the message:

What Bristol Palin is telling us about evangelicals

I couldn’t have been more wrong... but the evangelical community is far more in the world and aware of human frailty that outsiders (including even yours truly) recognize. Of course, they were thrilled that Ms. Palin would become a mother and a wife, but there has been no anger or haughtiness at the pregnancy itself. Instead, the rest of America is finding a community that has seen several of these things before - and like the rest of us - is doing its best to support the family in question when they are able and it is appropriate.

Voters may never see evangelicals the same way again. The blinders of our various prejudices our gone. The only question now is how many of my fellow Americans will join me and open their eyes.

Interesting and fascinating. Such openness is rare of a liberal and I’ll bet she pays for it in some way. It’s like looking at one of those weird pictures and when you see the figure of the woman or creature or flower or whatever, it’s hard to look at it again and NOT see the same thing. But when her friends attack her, she won’t be able to reconcile the 2 thoughts.
