I disagree with your characterization of Palin supporters on FR. Sure, you'll see some of us giving as good as we get, but we're on defense here. We don't go looking for fights with Palin detractors.
Perhaps you hadn't noticed, but we didn't start the war you're talking about. Apparently, we committed the grievous crime of expressing our sincere enthusiasm for a politician who comes closer to the definition of an ideal conservative than anyone we've seen since Reagan. Sadly, there are some people who simply get set on edge about that, and react in an anti-social manner.
So much so, that they habitually haunt the Palin threads, angrily trying to convince her supporters that they've completely misjudged her, and that she's an unworthy, phony, money-motivated, unintelligent, air-headed, RINO supporting hick, who "quit her job" and "can't run for president because she's not going to run for president."
Excuse us if we just happen to get a little offended by such attacks, and have the temerity to actually fight back.
Very good post, I hope it sinks in.
Many here like pushing the PDS commenters vile posts over on the Palin supporters.
