Sarah Palin: Just another whiny liberal claiming victimization
NJ.com ^ | 3/9/10 | Paul Mulshine

Posted on 03/09/2010 9:17:09 PM PST by pissant

On her blog, Elizabeth Wright offers an excellent analysis of the mass hysteria that is the Sarah Palin phenomenon.

Wright is a black conservative who specializes in debunking the sense of victimhood that so many black leaders love to employ to their advantage. She argues that the many wannabe conservatives who are Palin fans are employing the same tactic. They invoke the liberal sense of victimhood in her defense.

That of course is the essence of the Palin cult. It consists of people who feel that they're being put upon by their betters. It never occurs to these characters to ask why Palin could be bested in an interview by her fellow airhead - and now fellow talking head - Katie Couric.

Imagine for just a second that the late William F. Buckley had been interviewed by Couric. Is there the slightest chance that Buckley would have come out second best? Is there the slightest chance that the intellectual and elitist Buckley would have done anything other than patronize the plebian Couric?

Wright does a good job of pointing out how Palin invokes the same sense of victimhood as those self-appointed spokesmen for black Americans:

In fact, many of these so-called independent thinkers on the right appear to equate a person who harbors sentiments that "exclude" others as un-American. "Inclusion" is the order of the day – because liberals taught them so. Now that Sarah Palin is on the scene, conservatives are warming to the task of smearing opponents as "sexist." Yet another victory for their liberal mentors.

Best of all, she even quotes the sole genuinely conservative columnist on any major American newspaper:

Thank you, you remind me of Bob J.

“To: Bob J
I love Palin’s conservatism and patriotism! She may very well support McCain out of loyalty and I have no problem with that. And I have no problem with whom she supports with her PAC. There is nothing written that says she has to do everything (or anything at all) according to JIM.

Sarah is unabashedly pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-family, pro-America, pro-constitution, pro-gun, pro-limited government and so am I. And she’s wildly popular among the God-loving, Liberty-loving folks with whom I choose to associate. In short, she’s a refreshing breath of clean fresh air in an otherwise putrid failure of a RINO infested party.

She represents my interests better than any other viable wannabe at this point and if she decides to run, she will have my undivided support!!

Romney, the draft-dodging, Big Government, lying statist political whore can KMA!!

And your picture does say a 1,000 words, but Bob, unfortunately they’re all about YOU and political whores like you and the results and likely outcome of your slavish, cultish RINOism!!

So you can shove your picture and your RINOs where the sun don’t shine.

Sarah has more guts, talent, ability, patriotism, and sheer determination and love for America and our God-given Liberty than you and Romney and a thousand other RINOS will ever have!

It’s been more than obvious for several years that our pro-Life & Liberty Free Republic has become an embarrassment for you, so why the hell don’t you just take a fricken hike already!!

Shove it, pal.

GET THE HELL OFF FR if you don’t like it, but whatever you do quit your damn whining and pestering good conservative FReepers about your hatred for Sarah Palin!! It’s beyond sickening.

She is the one potential GOP candidate that gives Obama a chance in Nov. 2012.

How's the weather on your planet?

If Sarah Palin was no threat to Obama, the media would just ignore her. They attack her because she is the only one who can defeat the Kenyan Commie. Everything she writes or speaks gets reprinted here and abroad, analyzed, parsed, dissected, repeated, supported and attacked, ad infinitum.

They don't attack Haley Barbour, Mitt Romney, Pawlenty, Huckabee, Jindal, or any of the other milquetoast RINOs, for the same reason -- none of them pose any threat to this communist regime. They don't speak out against it; they don't resist it; and none of them have to gonads to oppose corruption at any level. Nobody cares what they think (if they even do), or what they say, or where they will appear next. Nobody cares.

So you want Jim to ban be for saying Palin couldn’t get the job done?

Anything else I’m not allowed to say?

I guess it is easier for you when you just pretend that we posted something to you that we didn’t, because you do that a lot.

That is yet another form of dishonesty that you display.

Still waiting for one original rational thought from ansel12.. It appears he is intellectually bankrupt.

Oh, sorry. I got the Palin threads confused. All you Palin supporters hit the same screaming note at the same time.

Next you’ll accuse me of being not human and demand my execution.

Not quite. They attack her because they are jealous she had a meteoric rise based on her looks and most of the MSM are ugly hags.

They are right, her rise is almost completely based on her looks. This doesn’t particularly bother me the way it does the MSM, but she just isn’t qualified to be President in my opinion.

That the Palinbot Lunatics can’t just accept that a fellow conservative has a different opinion of her is very scary.

I’ll add another thing.. Group Think Menality, a staple of the left-wing and Democratic party has invaded the Republican Party via Palin.

Palin supporters are using the same Alinsky tactics against conservatives who think she’s unqualified to be president as Obama and the left do.

You really are an odd egg, sometimes it is impossible to figure out what you are talking about.

Like I said in another post.. if Palin looked like Helen Thomas, she’d be lucky to draw flies.. Okay, she’d draw flies, but that’s it.

Palin, as has been observed by many, is a walking cliché factory, where never an original thought falls from her lips. Substance? Not a chance. When recently asked about her policy for handling America's foreign enemies, her response was, "They lose, we win." Now there's a policy! Repeated clichés and platitudes form her mindset, which is fixed in her own special style of demagoguery.

That particular saying comes from Ronald Reagan. Sarah Palin was only quoting him. The author of this venomous little rant needs to do better research.

It's also instructive to recall the context in which Reagan said those words. At a time when appeasement, detente, and realpolitik were the order of the day for both Democrats and Republicans, Reagan cut through the BS with a succinct restatement of who we are and what we do as Americans. Those who would waver in the fight against Islamist terrorism would do well to listen to such cliches and platitudes.

Her looks don't hurt but to say that is her main claim to fame is like I said...utter nonsense....
