You are assuming facts not in evidence about either my or Heretics reading habits.
Considering such blogs are the only sources Heretic cites, and considering that your primary role in this thread has been to support his position (without citing any sources of your own), I'd say there is, indeed, sufficient evidence to support my assumption. I'm certainly open to being shown where I am in error, if you have other sources to cite.

I find it amusing that the very people who seem to decry the "politics of personal destruction" seem to find nothing wrong with it when it's practiced against someone that they dislike.
What does that catch-phrase even mean? In this discussion? Because I don't have any idea what you're talking about, or how it relates to Sarah Palin. As a victim, that is.

I believe that one of the major problems with the US political experiment today is the rise and seeming permanence of an elitists political class, regardless of party. We as a people are jaded and expect our elected officials and our pundits to speak with double and triple tongues, and seem to take great pleasure in pointing it out, and wishing for someone who is just "plain spoken".
Yet, when one arises, a large minority of our population seem offended, and prepared to belittle, demean, and point out that she "isn't like the rest".
That's where your whole argument collapses, because she isn't "plain spoken" at all. She's a liar. A hypocrite, a liar, and a dissembler. This has been demonstrated so many times over, it's not even a serious question. She's exactly like the rest.

What you can not deny about Sara Palin is that she has less in common with this self-styled political and intellectual elite than the majority of national political figures.
I certainly can deny it, and I do. The only difference between Sarah Palin and any other professional politician is that she's too stupid to be as good at it as the rest of them are.

Most of the attacks against her that I've seen here on CM are based on the "elites" soundbites, and fabrications, and few if any of them are based on her actual accomplishments, words, or beliefs.
Every attack I've seen here against here traces back directly to her own imbecilic babblings and bizarre actions. I don't need a soundbite to tell me that that crazed, semi-coherent rant I heard her stutter through on Friday afternoon was anything but a crazed, semi-coherent rant. She damns herself every time she opens her mouth.
And as for her "accomplishments", these wondrous achievements that so many of us don't seem to have noticed - what, exactly, would they be? What are her substantive accomplishments?

However, there is a substantial number of Americans who do not see Palin as you and the rest of the attack crowd do. (and I'm sure you or your proxies will belittle and demean them as ignorant, stupid, religious nitwits as well). These are not simply the right wing of the Republican party, either.
I don't need to belittle them, because i can't make them any worse than they've already made themselves look. I'll just say that anyone who looks at Sarah Palin and sees an intelligent, rational, stable leader is raising very serious questions about their own objectivity and credibility.

To me, it's both a sad commentary on the state of union, as well as negative indicator of any possibility of a safe, acceptable method out of the morass of hate politics and elitist governance that we find ourselves in.
I think the very fact that 30% of the people in this country think that blithering imbecile is qualified to be president is an even sadder commentary. And the fact that the republican party actually tried to put her in a position to become the president is beyond sad; it's appallling.
