When Sarah Palin was nominated by John McCain I was enthusiastic and hopeful. Of course he and his staff completely fumbled the ball (i.e., suspend the Campaign) and we are now in a classical Reign of (Economic and Social) Terror unleashed by his failure to beat an inexperienced haircut in a suit. What amazed, and continues to amaze, me is the ferocity Left's response then and continuing until now.
I believe Hatred is Fear turned outwards. It is the only explanation for the reaction(s). The Left is afraid of something. If they are then we should be cultivating and exploiting that fear because it could potentially lead them to do something that tips their hand and results in an Electoral pushback.
I got to this Reclusive
Leftist post Feminists and the mystery of Sarah Palin via Instapundit There are a few interesting observations from this
obviously Atheist Feminist whom (I think) is a disgruntled Hillarist. She actually chooses to learn about Sarah Palin and clearly does not fear her.
A few comments stood out:
"But after you’ve had a few of these myth-dispelling conversations, you
start to realize that it doesn’t matter. These people don’t hate Palin because
of the lies; the lies exist to justify the hate."
and
"Obama is an intellectually mediocre narcissist with a thin resume who’s
lost without a teleprompter and whose entire campaign had all the substance and
gravity of a Pepsi commercial. Yet people say Sarah Palin is a fluffy
bunny diva."
To me it is interesting reading and differs greatly
from what one would be exposed to by the usual Kozmanauts.
Look, I'm not certain she should run in 2012. Perhaps she should go for the Senate Seat in Alaska. I don't know.
I just know this unprecedented torrent of Hatred leads somewhere.
