I really don’t like Allahpundit.

Allahpundit is an Axis of Weasels POS barely better than Charles Johnson or David Frum.

Allahpundit most recently jumped the shark by bashing Palin upon her resignation:

Breaking: Palin to resign within weeks? Update: Is her career over?

....Update: Says Ace, “It’s over. You can’t resign from a governorship and then run for higher office.” I agree. Placing your ambition over your commitment to the state looks shady, especially for someone who won’t have a single full term as governor under her belt for the primaries.

For the skinny on allahpundit, see these:

You know I’m just beginning to wonder if old Allahpundit over at Hot Air didn’t catch something from Andrew Sullivan during his recent staycation.

Predictably, Allahpundit is an officer of the PC Police. Palin bashing is fine, but don't be mean to Mrs. Obama!

Allahpundit was skeptical about McCain's choice of Palin from the first day she was selected. After that, he was always pretty much the first conservative blogger to post Palin smears, supposedly for the purpose of debate. At some point, the tone changed - and he became openly snarky toward Governor Palin. I don't know why. I guess Allah never heard of the Eleventh Commandment.

I don't begrudge Allah his opinion. It's his blog, he can say what he wants. For a while, I even felt invigorated at the challenge, and enthusistically defended my chosen standard-bearer. But what ultimately turned me off was Hot Air's open welcome for trolls. It's one thing to debate a Romney or Huckabee supporter trying to build their candidate above Palin. It's another when a handful of trolls are allowed to openly make personal insults and sexist slurs in regards to Palin and her supporters. When a person posts an assertion that Governor Palin doesn't know where Africa is, or can't read a newspaper, it may be entertaining to refute that person once.
