Vicious, Spiteful, and Panicked: The Press Attacking Sarah Palin
Will Malven

Nothing so angers the press as being caught by surprise and yesterday's announcement by Sarah Palin that she was stepping down as Governor of Alaska with no explanation has the long knives out as never before.
She's a "quitter," her political career is "finished," she's "doomed," and any number of negative comments have been coming from pundits both on the Left and the Right. It's a political feeding frenzy of the sort singular to a press scorned.
Of course the most despicable and mean-spirited comments are those coming from the oh-so "compassionate Left." Of note even among the hatred and filth being spewed from those on the Left was the screed appearing on the Huffington Post by one Erik Sean Nelson (of no particular fame or importance beyond that required to be both hateful and boorish-de rigueur for being a Liberal-which needs to be posted here as a reminder of the sort of individual that typifies those on the Left:
I won't say more than that; let the piece speak for him and itself. It is noteworthy that reaction to the piece was such that in its place is now one of those Liberal attempts at an apology. Notable is the absence of any mention of the people to whom he gave most offense, Sarah Palin and her child Trig.
As the long knives come out so does the expected Democrat hypocrisy. She has doomed her political career by leaving office. Wasn't it Hillary Clinton who pledged to serve out her entire term as senator just before tossing her hat into the presidential campaign? Didn't Barack Hussein Obama quit his job as Senator from Illinois to become President of the United States? Didn't Obama abandon his duties as senator after two short, unimpressive, years to begin his campaign to become TOTUS?
The voices come also from those in the Republican Party who would rather have Conservatives vote their support for Republicans but otherwise hold their silence. So I am forced to ask of John McCain, did he also not leave his duties unattended as he sought to become President?
Who knew it was wrong only for Conservatives, men and women of principle, to set aside their current obligations to seek higher office?
The reaction of those on the Left is understandable even as it is uncouth and hypocritical, they fear Sarah Palin more than any other person in politics...with the possible exception of Rush Limbaugh whom they know (or at least pray) will never run for office.
They know that Sarah Palin is a force to be reckoned with. She is dynamic, attractive, intelligent, witty and has the "common touch" like no one since Ronald Reagan and for that reason she generates abject fear in them. Hence the unending torrent of hatred and venom being spewed from their foul orifices.
Now I am not a Sarah Palin supporter. In my book she is a long way from being "America's Maggie Thatcher" as many of her admirers claim. She is way too light on experience and the fundamental understanding of both foreign and domestic policy I believe should be required in any presidential prospect.
Those are weaknesses which can be overcome with serious effort...the kind of effort that would require one to relinquish other more demanding responsibilities...such as being governor of Alaska. She certainly has the personal attractiveness to become a formidable candidate. The speech she gave at the Republican Convention certainly opened a lot of eyes.
The point of all this is that speculation of the sort in which today's talking heads are engaged is pointless. I sometimes think that pundits talk because they are afraid of becoming irrelevant should they remain silent for more than a moment. It is a symptom of the ignorant to babble on continuously for fear that should silence reign for even a moment people might discover that everything they have been told by those talking heads is nonsense.
Sarah Palin's motivation(s) for her actions will become clear in a short while; probably to the chagrin of those now declaring her political future dead.
Whatever her decision, you may be assured that Democrats and their cheerleaders who run the mainstream media will continue to attack her relentlessly and spitefully. The hatred will continue apace as will their fear of anyone who might disturb their plans to destroy our nation and take away our liberties.
For now it is enough that Sarah has them all in a panic. For that alone I love her.
Long Live Our American Republic!!!!
Happy Fourth of July!!!! May you remember why we celebrate today and recall how different our Founding Father's vision for America was from that of President Obama and his party.

Palin Will Run in '12 on More Retardation PlatformI have rarely read a more disgusting commentary or pitiful attempt at humor written by a more despicable individual than the above post.
Erik Sean Nelson
Huffington Post
In Sarah Palin's resignation announcement she complained about the treatment of her son Trig who always teaches her life lessons. She said that the "world needs more Trigs, not fewer." That's a presidential campaign promise we can all get behind. She will be the first politician to actually try to increase the population of retarded people. To me, it's kinda like saying the world needs more cancer patients because they teach us such personal lessons.
Her first act as President: To introduce a Pre-K lunch buffet that includes lead paint chips. Sort of a Large HEAD-START Program.
She will then encourage women to hold off on pregnancies until their 40's just to mix up some chromosomes.
She now is in favor of abortion only in case of diploid birth.
Her policies will increase jobs because Wal-Mart is building new stores each day and someone has to be the greeter.
This will lead to smaller government because fewer Americans will have the cognitive ability to hold a government job.
Look, she says she's resigning as governor because people are making attacks on her and Trig. If she ever did become president, all Osama bin Laden would have to do to defeat the United States is Photoshop a picture of Trig and she'd surrender the country that night. As she said, "That's not politics as usual." It isn't. Politicians don't usually quit for so stupid of reasons.
