Sarah Palin

Noemie Emery tries to explain the hatred of Sarah Palin, but I think misses the mark.

Decades from now, teams of psychiatrists will try to explain and account for the explosions of angst from our best and our brightest when Palin appeared on the scene. Lest you forget, Matt Continetti’s new book “The Persecution of Sarah Palin” refreshes your memory, with a list of such sober critiques of her governing record as that she was a slut, a moron, an ignoramus, a “cancer,” a perfume saleswoman, one of the “swilly” people, and a woman who faked her own pregnancy, under conditions that were biologically impossible, and for reasons that never made sense.
After November, they followed her back to Alaska, and besieged her with lawsuits designed to distract her from governing. It worked.

Teams of psychiatrists are not needed. Obama got 53% of the vote with a corrupt and compliant media. Palin got attacked by a corrupt and dishonest press, and yet she still keeps going strong. Palin is, in short, a better politician than Obama, and a vastly better leader. The Obama hacks know it, hate her for it, and are determined to destroy her before she defeats their caudillo, their Messiah.
