This is the best article I have read putting the left’s reaction in a historical context.

Excellent article. Palin really drives the left crazier and more hateful than they already are.

[nathanbedford]

They hate her for the same reason that the first mate hated Billy Budd, for the same reason that vampires find the cross so repugnant, for the same reason that the majority leader hates Senator McCain, for the same reason that Joe Biden hated Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas.

Yeah, it was “in context”,

but it was a “way too long a way of saying”:

to achieve totalitarian communism, the family as an institution must be destroyed, and the family institution is the primary target of the left today.

Agreed. Jeff Bell is brilliant. In 1978 he ran in the NJ Republican primary and toppled RINO Cliff Case. But lost the general to Bill Bradley We got rid of a lot of RINO's that year.The first battles in the coming Reagan take over of the GOP in 1980.

Judging from the reaction of the left to Palin, it looks like they think (thought) that they had boxed in the Republicrats. The Dimms apparently thought (think) that only they could have a 'candidate with a future' after McCain was foisted on the GOP by independents and progressives bought and paid for by foreign money.

The strategery of the Dimms was, apparently, to castigate McCain as an antique, yesterdays news.

The selection of Palin AFTER the Dimm convention blew out all their tires.....
