Why the left hates Sarah Palin

As my friend Thomas S. Schmitz put it, this article is "spot on." Of note, the person who "got me to thinking.." as the author put it was a woman. I've personally witnessed that the anti-Palin vitriol is most keenly professed by women. As women we're told, like recruits in the Army, to "be all we can be." Yet we get confused on what it is we're supposed to "be." Are we supposed to be pretty, or smart? Are we supposed to be maternal, or successful in our career? For some reason, women are conditioned to believe one person can't achieve all of these things, and yet Sarah Palin has. And there is the rub, for most women at least. Forget all the feminism talk. Like I've said before, it's a bad bill of goods. It only applies if you're self-centered, and Sarah Palin is far from that. This article is spot on, if you're talking about why the left hates Sarah Palin, and why left-thinking women in particular hate her.

Why the Left Hates Sarah Palin
by Evan Sayet

It just happened again.

I spend a fair amount of time at my local coffee shop. I like to do my writing outside and, besides, it gives me an opportunity to try and initiate political conversations with the people who pass by — my hope always being to begin to enlighten them as to what conservatives really believe (and not just what the leftist media tells them.)

Today, the conversation turned to Sarah Palin and my latest acquaintance blurted out: “Oh I hate her.” Since she did not yet know my politics, and since we were in Los Angeles, it is clear that she expected to hear back what you usually hear back in this city: “Yeah, I hate her, too.” Instead, I asked her why.

At this point I could have predicted her response because it’s the same response you get from liberals no matter who on the Right you’re talking about: “Because she’s stupid.” I replied: “Being stupid is no reason to hate someone, but tell me, which one of her policies do you disagree with?” It wasn’t hard to predict her response: “All of them!”

I continued to push. “Well, then, if it’s all of them, it should be easy for you to name one.” Her reply? “They’re too many to list.”

“So don’t list them, just give me one,” I said.

This went on for awhile until my new acquaintance finally admitted that she didn’t know any of Ms. Palin’s policies. Before she ran off – Democrats always run off when asked to provide facts to justify their hatred for Republicans – I looked her in the eyes and said, “If you don’t know any of her policies, perhaps you should look into them.” She promised she would. She won’t. If there are two things you can count on with Democrats, they are filled with hate and empty of facts...
