Why the hate over former VP candidate?

| December 14, 2009 8:00 PM

What is it about Sarah Palin that brings out so much fear and hate from the left? Could it be because she is open and honest, and looks you in the eye while talking. Her history is out in the open for all to see. Unlike our sitting president who has spent a small fortune concealing his records (birth, school, passport, draft registration, employment). What do you really know about him?

The left continues to belittle Sarah, calling her stupid and minimizing her record as a mayor and governor. On one of the current blogs, “teacher” discounts her college degree as “a simple degree.” What makes it simple, because it wasn’t a degree from an Ivy League university?

In addition to Sarah, there are other voices being heard, including Michele Bachmann (6th District, Minnesota) and Lt. Col. (retired) West. Of course, you won’t hear much about them from the mainstream media, however, they like Sarah, will speak their minds and look your straight in the face while doing so. What you will not see is them striking an arrogant, over-the-nose Mussolini pose while shifting from the left to right teleprompter.
