Palin Derangement Syndrome. Taken from the BDS Bush Derangement Syndrome and for the same reasons.
FR has a number of people who have committed themselves (or more accurately ‘should be committed”) to trashing her at every available opportunity, thus helping ensure liberals get their ideas spread to a more right wing audience. You never see them bash her ideas...just ‘her’.
and so her message, whatever it is at the time, gets lost in flame wars instead of getting through to more people.
PDSers often call support for Palin/her ideas ‘cult behavior’ and generally they are not distingushable from any raving leftist on MSNBC as their criticisms, talking points ect are a direct copy of what you hear in leftist shows/publications/from leftist talking heads. The proof of all the above is contained in several hundred thousand posts on FR since her arrival on the national political stage. Most of those posts are from flame wars after PDSers invade and disrupt meaningful discussion.
I am incapable of being a cultist of any stripe ... but if I was sixteen I’d be curling up tonight with that cover of Newsweek! Bright and gorgeous ... a woman with heart and guts ... and the salivating, liberal lapdog media just waiting to trash her again. I don’t think we can ever rid ourselves of the progressive cancer ... too deep into the bone and marrow of this country. We are being destroyed by our own freedoms ... any lesser country would have rounded up the progressives by now and ... well ... Soylent Green comes to mind. I can’t imagine that ‘libchow’ would be very tasty.
