Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was on the Today show last week, and she did very well. It was an enjoyable show, and she handled the occasional barbs against her with class. But don't mention that in mixed company (liberals and conservatives), or anywhere online.
Palin's appearance on Today was met with an avalanche of criticism from the left. Websites like Democratic Underground and Huffington Post stewed in their hatred for Gov. Palin. Lefty mocker Jon Stewart ridiculed her. Former Today host Bryant Gumbel even said he was "embarrassed by Palin's appearance on the show," and he complained that she lacked the capability of reporting or interviewing, or having "a degree of gravitas."
In these people's attacks against Gov. Palin, the familiar refrain is that she is stupid, but that doesn't sound quite right. When liberals criticize Sarah Palin is being stupid, they have a real anger in their voice or urgency in their blog posts.
If the commentariat were really concerned about a public figure who is stupid, they would focus on Vice President Joe Biden. To those who pay attention to the news, if they are honest, they would agree that Vice President Joe Biden is a real buffoon. This recent rambling explanation regarding gasoline prices was yet another proof of Biden's foolishness.
But it is Sarah Palin for whom liberals have a special hatred when they assert that she is stupid. Why is this?
The last time the left in this country had such a full-throated denunciation of someone as stupid, it was of Ronald Reagan. I remember it so well because I too was a liberal during Reagan's first term as president. It was very frustrating to denounce someone as stupid even as he was winning two landslide elections...

You have zero grasp of American politics.
The Today Show is too stupid to watch. At least they might have picked up a few viewers who like her or love to hate her.
“...the last time the libs hated anyone this much it was directed at Ronald Reagan.”
George W. Bush was a potted plant?
Then perhaps this article will shed some light on American politics.

The idiot doesn’t understand that Fascism is as necessary a facet of socialism as the ‘mandate’ is of Obamacare?
>> “George W. Bush was a potted plant?” <<
.
Pretty much.
Remember the border agents Ramos and Compean? Jailed by Bush for doing their job?
I saw that as the defining moment for Bush. He never disappointed aftewr that; he just stayed in character to the end.
Certain people really get under Democtat’s (THIN) skin. Palin for sure because of IMHO her making fun of 0BAMA in her acceptance speech. “Being governor is like a community organizer only it ‘s real work “. Nixon and Reagan did it too with their own pokes in the eye. Slaying their sacred cows! Great fun.
Sarah made fun of Obama in her acceptance speech, just as Reagan joked about the idiots in the Soviet Union.
Communists and leftist like to think that they have superior intellect, but are really the stupid ones.
Check out Reagan communism jokes:
