Here is the "money" paragraph, imho:
This is a rare talent, one shared by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. For this quality to have even a chance to develop, there must be something real to serve as an emotional backdrop: disproportionate, crazy-seeming rage by one's political enemies. Roosevelt was on his party's national ticket five times and Reagan sought the presidency four times. Each became governor of what at the time was the nation's most populous state. It took Roosevelt and Reagan decades of national prominence and pitched ideological combat to achieve the gift of enemies like these. Yet the American left awarded Sarah Palin this gift seemingly within a microsecond of her appearance on the national stage in Dayton, Ohio. Why?

“She could not be allowed to contradict symbolically one of the central narratives of the left.”

This agrees with what I have said.
They MUST continue to attack her.
Sarah Palin’s mere presence is an in your face contradiction to the leftist thinking about feminism, abortion, family, entitlement, marriage and politics.
She is the kriptonite to their propaganda.

How has it been said...”if you;’re taking flak, you know you're over the target”...?

Her very presence is like a huge assault upon the emperor’s new suit. She is the little girl whose presence cries out that the emperor is naked.
