The only reason there's a "barrage" is that you Palinistas basically challenge to a duel anyone who dares to criticize Palin.

But it isn't just criticism, it's pure hate. I totally understand when people aren't crazy about some of her endorsements (I would much rather have Devore and JD) but some have outright called Sarah Palin the enemy! One of the loudest, with an anti-Palin ping list even posted, "FUSP!"

You would think that sort of utterance would be directed towards Obama and his hate America thugs, not at a woman that is trying to help save us from impending socialism.

But it isn't just criticism, it's pure hate.

That may happen on occasion; but in my experience, I usually get dumped on if I disagree with anything Palin says or does. On a thread the day after Scott Brown's election, I criticized her appearance on Greta's show. I thought Palin came off as unprepared during the phone interview. I did not say anything at all hateful about her. You would not believe the attacks that came my way. Some Palinistas have an outright crush on the lady.

I think the over-the-top defenses of Palin by some of her adoring fans just leads to more rancor.
