Wow! Even some on the Left finally get it.

Why am I suspicious then?

Could be because the Huffington Post was one of those left wing sources savaging Palin.

I wonder if it's the threats of legal action from her lawyers that has the folks at "The Huff" squirming in their seats.

Read the replies over there to this piece: The Huffheads are not happy campers. There’s not a pro-Sarah, nay, not even a slightly moderate post. They are mad at Miss Robinson, and not bashful about it.

That could be but by this comment - I'm thinking she trying to warn them ........ “feminists” and “progressives” who probably don’t realize how many conservatives they are helping to create, as anyone with a moral compass is likely to figure that, if that’s how liberals argue, maybe they’ll consider conservative ideas,

She may see the tide is turning.

I knew this would happen. More and more women are realizing what has been happening. And yes, even liberal women are coming around to the fact that the overwhelming savage treatment of Palin and her family is just plain wrong. The very things liberal feminists have cried about for decades- objectification and beautification- are the very things they are now using as sticks to beat a woman, who if she had a D behind her name, would be hailed as an historic feminist icon. Women writers, both liberal and alleged conservatives, have done nothing more than reveal bitter jealousy over Palin's looks, and quite possible, her happily married life. Sure, they'll scoff at that notion. But Palin represents everything they preach about but can never attain due to self-inflicted lack of self-worth and shrew-like self-loathing.

Strong women, who still disagree with her politically, know that Palin has been treated unfairly. And as I predicted not too long ago, they will start looking at her as a seriously icon for women, and quite possibly as a candidate for President.

It sounds ridiculous, but the person to thank for this is Hillary Clinton. The way she was treated by her own party opened the eyes of many women and revealed the dirty secret of Democrats- women are only good for EOE and diversity statistics, but certainly not for President. The borderline misogyny from Democrats left many liberal feminist's jaws on the floor. The part 'for women' had become the party that used women, just like it uses blacks, gays and everyone else it needs to appeal tolerant and inclusive.

From a strategic standpoint, these continued attacks are also proving to have the reverse effect and are making Sarah a sympathetic figure. When Bob Becktal (sp) not only admits on Fox the treatment of Sarah has been over the top, but that having been a part of it, he now realizes it was wrong, you know liberals are scared because their plan of marginalizing Palin has backfired badly.

So, no, it doesn't surprise me that a woman HuffPo writer said this. She gets it. Like so many of us conservative chicks do too.
