Since announcing her resignation, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been pummeled by critics who have called her incoherent, a quitter, a joke and a "political train wreck."
And those were fellow Republicans talking.
Palin has been a polarizing figure from the moment she stepped off the tundra into the bright lights last summer as John McCain's surprise vice presidential running mate. Some of that hostility could be expected, given the hyper-partisanship of today's politics.
What is remarkable is the contempt Palin has engendered within her own party and the fact that so many of her GOP detractors are willing, even eager, to express it publicly -- even with Palin an early front-runner for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

So pretty much nothing's changed.
I’ve seen more articles ABOUT “Republicans attacking Palin” than I’ve seen Republican attacking Palin.
This guy’s a Democrat media hack attacking Palin.
Convictions, something Rinos and Democrats have no understanding of.
“To them she has not paid her political dues. she not an old Rino and they feel threatened by her youth and convictions.”
I disagree. The chattering class abhors Mrs. Sarah Palin because she is one of the regular folks, like the average American. The former governor did not attend an Ivy League college and does not come from pedigree stock, if you will.
Futhermore, Mrs. Sarah Palin has the audacity to shamelessly stand for true conservative principles, and does not condescend or appease her critics.
Dimlibs and RINOs all hate her for the same reason: She’s a real conservative.
No surprise. It’s the newest way to attack Palin—all these libs just saying “REPUBLICANS don’t like her!” A friend said the same thing to me on the phone the other day and I told him he’s watching too much CNN, because the criticism of Palin I’ve read is nothing like the hatred spewed by the left.
The title you created:
“11th Commandment”
did not line up with the linked source you provided and had to be changed.
Thanks.
If she really was a “train wreck” nobody would be bothering to point it out.
“I’ve seen more articles ABOUT “Republicans attacking Palin” than I’ve seen Republican attacking Palin.”
True. It is called ‘projecting’.
Republicans =/= Conservatives.
Willie Brown thinks otherwise.

That is true and she has no political pedigree and she does stand up for her convictions. And we know that is a rare quality in D.C. today.
It’s my guess that mitt is behind this...
As far as I am concerned, this description applies EXACTLY to John McCain, and the rest of the leadership of the Republican Party, and I believe that a great majority of the base agrees with me. Go, Sarah Palin!
Not only does Mrs. Palin come from humble beginnings, unlike those liberal elitists in politics and academia, but the former governor is not an aristocrat.
Conservatives love her for these reasons. She’s one of us.
May the Lord continue to bless Mrs. Palin and her family.
AMEN TO THAT!
