| Who Hates Sarah Palin? |
| 2008-09-11 |
| Greg Gutfeld According to many in the media, we truly have discovered someone worse than Hitler — and it's Sarah Palin. Head to any left-wing blog or even CNN for that matter and you'll find the zaniest of conspiracies -- froth that even a dude with rabies would find unseemly. So how can one person create so much bile among folks who claim to be the most tolerant in the universe? I mean, liberals are the good people: They're open-minded, caring and of course, fair. But somehow, a Republican lady in her 40s is exempt from this treatment. Perhaps, she truly is the devil in a dress, a ghoul that eats children and pollutes the planet and possibly beats Barack Obama, the patron saint of every customer buying wheat germ in bulk at GNC. But I know the real reason why every single elitist media type is terrified of her. They've never met her. And by "her," I don't mean Sarah Palin. I mean "her", an actual normal woman with a bunch of kids, an average husband and no desire to watch "The L Word." She's scary to these folks the way Wal-Mart is scary to them: Both are alien to someone who blogs about their chakras. They won't go there, because they've never been there. To them, hating Sarah Palin is a symptom of larger bigotry against the rest of us, the normal. If they saw her at a party, they would wonder how she got in. She's the anti-Obama, the anti-New York Times, the anti-everything that Tim Robbins loves, which is why I love her — and you should too. And if you disagree with me, then you sir are worse than Hitler. |

| #8 They're on their Heroin Power trip. It looks like their source is going to dry up. They'll do just about anything for another hit. It's that level of frantic. The irony is that the mask has fallen and in their drowning among their own atmosphere of hate and intolerance, they surpass the stereotype they've projected for years upon the right with images of David Duke et al. They are not the betters, they are not the moral, they are not the godly. They are just as human as anything they've despised. Or in more contemporary vernacular, they've worn the ring and have become the evil they claim they opposed. |

| #7 "Can't we get some civil, well reasoned discourse from these people?" To do that, you'd first need some civil, well-reasoned people, EU. And they ain't got any. >:-( |

| #5 A few days ago I wrote how I notice the incidence of the F word is much higher on some of these lefty blogs than it is here. Now I notice even further the much higher incidence of the H word, H being for hate, of course, coming from the left. I won't even spell it out again. IMHO it's even worse than the F word. How many times do you see Rantburgers declaring that they feel that way about anybody? Even the jihadis? Not very often if ever. They might call in an arclight but they don't use the H word. But put a hockey mom from Alaska in the national spotlight and the loony liberals start foaming at the mouth. Can't we get some civil, well reasoned discourse from these people? |

| #4 I wandered into Slate and read the most vile sexist venom I have ever encountered in my entire life. The women who wrote it all justified it because Sarah Palin did not support abortion and because she was a Christian. Check out this one feminism today And that blog just gives an appetiser. The woman writer invoked any and every sexist slur that I think has ever been used in the history of mankind. The hate that these people harbor reminds me of the same we saw in those videos when they began bussing blacks into white schools. It is the same fear. The fear of unknown others whom the left believes to be so inferior that they barely see as human. |
