They knew it the first time they saw her.
It's why they go insane every time they think of her.

On January 5, 2011, three days before the Tucson shooting, I warned that the mainstream media would mount Operation Demoralize:
The mainstream media will undertake, and already has undertaken, a concerted effort to blame the Republican House for everything that goes wrong, for not living up to promises, for living up to promises, for failing to compromise, for selling out, etc. Do not fall for it.
Holding the Republican House to its commitments is one thing; falling for Operation Demoralize is something else.
If you think that the mainstream media is not still 100% in the tank for Obama, think again.
Keep your eye on 2012. They are.
I could not have anticipated that the event which would kick off Operation Demoralize would be a mass murder and attempted assassination of a Democratic Congresswoman by a mentally deranged gunman who had no obvious interest in the real world of politics but who clearly was not a Republican in name or otherwise.
I also could not have anticipated that one of the leading Republican potential presidential candidates, Sarah Palin, would be falsely accused of inspiring the shooting, and that the mainstream media would run with that narrative to the point that almost a third of Americans believed it.
But as we all have witnessed the past 10 days, there has been an all out mainstream media assault on Tea Parties, conservative talk show hosts, and most of all, Sarah Palin.
Is it any surprise that Palin's negatives have reached new highs?
Yet some people who say they actually like and support Palin on the merits already are succumbing to Operation Demoralize even though the primaries are more than a year off and the Presidential election is almost two years away.
John Hinderaker at Powerline writes, Palin for President, Forget It (h/t Fuzzy):
The time has come to put any thoughts of Sarah Palin running for President to rest. I say that not because I dislike her; on the contrary, I'm a fan. I think she did an excellent job as a vice-presidential candidate in 2008 and has been an effective spokeswoman for conservative causes in the years since. But there is no way she is ever going to be elected President, and the sooner Republicans get over that idea, the better.
[citing a recent CNN Poll]
No one with a 59 percent unfavorability rating among independents has the chance of a snowball in Hell of being elected President. 2012 will be a vitally important election year; it is no time for a kamikaze Presidential campaign or for a cult of personality. Republicans (and conservatives) need a candidate who has a chance to win against an incumbent who, despite everything, is not particularly unpopular and who won't be able to do much visible damage between now and then.
One hopes that Governor Palin will see the writing on the wall and devote her energies to helping the conservative movement and other, better-positioned candidates rather than to pursuing a Presidential ambition that can only prove destructive.
Why is such an announcement necessary now, at the very moment that the conservative movement is trying to fight back against the mainstream media campaign related to the Tucson shooting?
You can throw Palin under the bus if you want, but what will you do when the next candidate faces blistering false accusations which drive negatives high after a mainstream media feeding frenzy?
Why not let the political and primary process work itself out. We do not even know if Palin is running, or if she will garner enough Republican support to win.
There is an insatiable mainstream media hunger to demonize and marginalize potential Republican nominees. Feeding that beast in the wake of the Tucson shooting is not the way to win in 2012.

We'll elect her President of the Republic of Texas.
Eat your hearts out.
And no, you can't have any oil or spaceships.
Fighting back against the mainstream media???
We're stomping the mainstream media into the dust.
Repubs never learn. Yes, every conservative candidate the media sees as a threat to winning the White House will be BS’d about ad nauseam, and then the Media picks the Milquetoast candidate for us to run.
I think she should be the President of the ‘strange’ state of Arizona. Jan Brewer can be the vice-president. That should scare the lot of them.
She has both parties working against her. Too bad there wasn’t a party for conservatives.

Lame Cherry speaks on the patrician & Rove destroy machine
If that happens, I’ll move to Arizona..finally a reason to leave Southern Cali(like there isn’t a thousand reasons already to leave this state LOL) Sarah will always be my President..and Jan Brewer or Michele Bachmann as VP, now THAT would ROCK
Yeah and they destroyed the Tea Party for 18 mos too.
Pray for America
This blog piece is written by either an ignorant dope, a Palin hater or a panic freak.
First off he writes as though the medias attempts to steer the country their way is working. If so explain the failure of the MSM’s work on blaming the right for the Giffords shooting, very low support for Obamacare, low support for Obama himself and the absolute disaster the Rats had in the midterms.
Second. He cites John Hinderaker at Powerline as reason to worry the narrative the MSM has put forth on Palin is working. This is not a go to blog for the pulse of the GOP and John Hinderaker has been shown to be questionable in his motives by Mark Levin.
All together this whole thing sucks.
You got that right..she gets trashed more from people on the right then she does from those on the left. Never see anyone from the GOP defend her in the media..spineless fools..its bad enough she takes crap from the left, but from the right too, its incomprehensible.
“There is an insatiable mainstream media hunger to demonize and marginalize potential Republican nominees.”
Except the ones the dems want to run against.
I still remember 2008.

Wow. That was interesting. The blogger is right about the spiritual war, that’s fer sher.
I love her, because she scares them.
(and, I love to see them scared.)
The only way to defeat the media is to stand up to them, again and again. There’s still plenty of time before the primaries. At some point people are going to weary of the punditry’s tantrums.
She’ll still be front and center.
