Last night, I saw a post at an anti-Palin blog that had more than 200 vitriolic comments about the woman they called “the Creature from Lake Lucille.” More than four years after Sarah Palin was the Republican vice-presidential candidate, she still inspires frothing rage from the Left. What prompted that particular outburst of hatred? Palin put up a Facebook post commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Think about that for just a minute. And then think about something Erick Erickson wrote on Inauguration Day: Congratulations Mr. President on your second inaugural. Saying that makes some of you really enraged. I said the same on twitter shortly after his official swearing in. Several of the replies were embarrassing and atrocious. Some accused the man elected by a majority of Americans of treason. Some accused him of willfully destroying the nation. I believe the President’s policies are destructive and will harm our economy, our nation, and our sense of national self long term. I believe his policies have the effect of turning us into subjects of the government, not citizens in charge of it. Because of his expansion of the social safety net funded through class warfare, Mr. Obama’s policies will cause too many Americans’ fortunes to rise and fall with those of the government, unable to chart a course for themselves apart from government. But I do not think the President means to do this maliciously. I do not think he is treasonous. I do not hate him. I am not outraged by it. As soon as I saw that, my attention focused on one sentence: “Some accused him of willfully destroying the nation.” Yes, of course: David Limbaugh, author of The Great Destroyer: Barack Obama’s War on the Republic, a book I heartily recommend. Erick Erickson didn’t title his post “David Limbaugh Is Wrong,” or “Don’t Listen to That Idiot David Limbaugh.” He merely dismissed as “embarrassing and atrocious” anyone who agrees with Limbaugh’s argument that Obama’s “War on the Republic” is deliberate. ------ Here’s the point: All Sarah Palin had to do is put up an MLK Day post on Facebook, and the haters swarmed all over her without anyone in the Democrat Party noticing or complaining. Democrats don’t get any “civility” lectures from their liberal spokesmen. They just win elections. Democrats hate Republicans with the heat of ten thousand suns. When are Republicans going to give themselves permission to hate back?
If they haven't noticed, she doesn't post that much on facebook anymore.
When she didn't go to the RNC convention, she said it was time to hear from other voices. She knows her time has passed.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
Erick Erickson can go to hell. He is a back bencher and CNN hack. Almost everything he comments on anymore has the stain of being some olive branch to his Lefty buddies.
When we went to the open house for my daughters transfer last week, the woman made 4 snide remarks about Palin based on the fact she too went to more than one college.
It was nuts. My daughter just remarked "now I guess I know more than I need to know about that liberal, huh mom?"
