The Left Breaks Upon The Rock Of Palin
― Whats going on here? Is the Left simply out of their minds with hatred for Sarah Palin? Thats part of what motivates them, but the reason she keeps getting the better of them is because theyre slavishly devoted to following an outdated playbook. They think they almost got her with the stupid, ignorant chill-billy meme during the 2008 campaign, and theyre determined to twist that knife until they hit a vital organ. Along with their complete lack of understanding for her enduring appeal, it leads them to consistently underestimate her.
The Left instinctively understands their control of the media is a powerful weapon.
Experience has taught them its a first-strike weapon. They can do the most damage by defining their targets out of the public discourse, smothering them with a shroud of contempt swiftly after their debut on the national stage. They dont have to worry about competing against an opposing player who has been ruled out of bounds.
[Palin has] survived, and liberals who try to dismiss her with casual slander [to force her off the public stage] increasingly find themselves sneering at each other across a media space the general public has long since vacated. If she runs for office again, Democrat political operatives would be wise to consider what shes actually saying, not [their own] fevered opinion of it, and understand that the number of people willing to completely ignore her is not going to increase. The public will not have a difficult time choosing between a pleasant lady with a winning sense of humor and some serious ideas to discuss, and the bitter scolds who think they can drown her out, if they can just put enough spittle behind calling her an idiot. ―
