Ok we all know how much Ms. U-Betcha just scares the crap out of us like a blood filled, brain eatin' zombie flick. How do we know this? Well one of the good people over at Free Republic lets us know exactly why.

They must really be afraid of Sarah Palin.
(By "They" he means all those "other, not-really-american-God-hating...blah, blah, blah))
The liberals in Washington and in the media, they must be absolutely, crap-their-pants terrified.
(Yeah them guys.)
I say that because of the mockery.
(Mockery? Sir, you make a mockery of mockery!)
That’s their grand strategy. Make fun of anybody who disagrees with them. It damages their opponents in the public mind and it gives their party a scapegoat. Hitler mocked Jews, Jim Crow mocked blacks, liberals mock conservatives.
(Godwin's Law applies here. Also.)
It is a public vilification that seeks to address the grand issues of our day through prejudice and stereotype.
(Huh?)
Anybody who disagrees with the liberals must be stupid, and you prove you are smart by making fun of her.
(Everything before the comma, yes, everything after the comma is the wierd youtube dude screaming, LEAVE SARAH ALONE!!!!)
Ask Tina Fey.
(Oh! Lets!)
Disagree on global warming, you’re an idiot. Oppose Obamacare, you’re an idiot. Go to church, you’re an idiot. Oppose abortion, you’re an idiot. Own a gun, you’re an idiot. Drive a pick-up truck, you’re an idiot. Oppose gay marriage, you’re an idiot. Want lower taxes, you're an idiot. Resent government intrusion, you're an idiot.
(Ok in order of appearence, Yes. Yes. Maybe. Yes. Maybe. No. Yes. No. Maybe.)
Liberalism has so simplified its pitch that it boils down to: If you don’t agree with us, it’s because you’re an idiot. You’re not smart enough to understand, you lack the enlightenment of the left.
(In a nutshell, overall, Yes.)
And so those who disagree with them are met with condescension and derision – on the floor of the Congress and at the desk on the evening news. Liberals don’t argue, they mock. They don’t want to discuss the merits of an issue, they want to ridicule those on the other side of the issue.
(As opposed to yelling or screaming over people who disagree with you at a townhall meeting, telling outright lies on TV or making up a poster that paints the President as the Joker.)
It’s far easier to herd their followers that way.
(Moooooooooo, or Braaaaaiiiinnnnsss)
It is an ugly sort of prejudice, essentially a bigotry, but their experience teaches them that "the politics of personal destruction" is the best trick they’ve got.
(Oh no it's not. We have MUCH better tricks up our evil sleeves.)
It gave Barack Obama the White House, for example.
("Gave", love that word. Gave as opposed to earned. Like job as opposed to welfare. Like god-fearin honest white folk as opposed to shiftless muslim n****r)
Identify the person who is a threat to you, and make fun of him or her. Define them as an idiot in the public mind and then, by whipping up animosity against that person, rally people to your side. Make that person both your scapegoat and your whipping boy. To use Biblical words, make him a "hiss and a byword."
(Ummm, the problem here is that Saint Sarah, Our Lady of Wasilla has done a really great job of self definition without any help from the left at all. Also.)
That is what the liberals in Washington and in the media have done since Ronald Reagan. Mock, belittle, destroy.
(Who made fun of Ronny Ray-Guns!?)
Like they did with George W. Bush.
(I think he meant Alfred E. Newman)
Like they did with Dick Cheney.
(We never mocked Darth. THAT guy, and his offspring are still truly scary)
Like they are trying for all they’re worth to do to Sarah Palin.
(Pu-llleeeesssseee. We ain't even warmed up yet)
That has been obvious on this book tour. For what is already the second-biggest political memoir of all time, media coverage has invariably treated the book and its author like a joke.
(Man it really must gall them to know that Bill Clinton has the best selling one.)
Barbara Walters played it like a game of gotcha, throwing obscure foreign-relations questions at Sarah Palin, hoping to find something she didn’t know or force her into a stumbling response. The media’s clear intent has been to trip her up, to get grist for the "stupid" mill. After never fact checking a political memoir ever, the Associated Press assigned not one reporter to scour Sarah Palin’s book, but 11. Eleven reporters working fulltime to rip it apart.
(Hey look, I am still trying to get Putin's giant flying head out of my mind)
That’s not journalism, that’s antagonism.
(re:Faux "News")
That's not not just a double standard, that's double dealing.
(Ditto)
That’s the politics of personal destruction.
(Suicide is not murder if you do it to yourself)
That’s the left doing everything it can to destroy a person who threatens it. The liberals in Washington and in the media know that they might not be able to beat her at the ballot box, so they need to beat her now, by poisoning the public mind against her, by defining her as a buffoon. Before people come to know her, the liberals have to destroy her. It is democracy by defamation.
(Holy smokes, buffoon and defamation in the same paragraph. As opposed to a famous baboon, and no I am not talking about the ex-gov of Alaska, I'm talking about the guy in the Lion King movie. Honest)
And yet thousands are lining up to meet her. To shake her hand and buy her book and take her picture.
(Sure they are. Just watch Faux "News". They have the honest to gosh film footage and everything)
And to tell her not to give up, to keep pushing, to never give up on conservatism.
(Please don't give up. We need you too!)
What scares the liberals is that Sarah Palin is normal. She has a college degree from Idaho, an accent from Alaska and a dinner-table common sense from Main Street America. She’s not an orator, she’s not a PhD, she hasn’t spent her life padding her resume.
(Oh man there is enitrely too much here to work with. If Sarah is the archetype of your normal American mom/woman then Hannibal Lechter is a food critic, and please don't get me started on how she wound up with a degree from Idaho)
But she’s one of us. She’s got the red, white and blue feeling in her gut that the Washington politicians wouldn’t recognize if it slapped them across the face. She’s got the sense that people trust, knowing that she has been where they’ve been and believed what they have believed.
(As opposed to where she is now and what she believes now, this very minute, not ten seconds ago. Plus notice the "she's one of us", please see above in reference to the word "gave".)
In a republic, the notion of having a leader who actually represents the people is a good idea. And the bottom line is that Sarah Palin, in her character and values, is more like America than any other current national politician – certainly more than the president.
(Sooooooo, lets forget all about the last election because we all know it was a bogus election stolen by ACORN, 'cause REAL Americans would never vote for....... Again, reference above part with the word "gave" and the mindset that comes with it.)
And that scares the liberals.
(No it don't. Truth be told, I personally LOVE what she is doing to the repugs)
So they are trying to destroy her through mockery. They are trying to make her a joke.
(Too late.)
Because their philosophy is bankrupt and their agenda is ruinous, and they recognize in Sarah Palin the sort of patriotism, populism and popularity that their tax-and-spend-and-regulate Marxism can’t stand up against. She is an American girl standing in the way of their post-national socialist New World Order.
(My daughter has an American girl. Lots of clothes for her too. Not 50k worth though. Hey! Marxism and socialism, ok we got the big three all in one rant. Nazi, Commie socialist! Ding! You win at Double Jepordy!)
And she’s got a lot of real Americans on her side.
(And therein lies the truly crap-my-pants scary part. That there are more than a dozen people in this country that actually think that Saint Sarah is anything other than a vacous waste of politcial oxygen. Sigh, the poor AND the stupid will be with us always)
And that leaves the liberals absolutely, crap-their-pants terrified.
Well according to shortstop we should all buy stock in Depends 'cause of Sarah. I for one will stick with my BVD's.
