David Kahane is a pseudonym. This is satire, but it's serious.

It’s a good article about how the right needs to stop playing pussyfoot with the left and start playing for keeps. Unfortunately, the author’s title will probably get it largely ignored or mistaken for another “Sarah Palin wasn’t ready” piece.

Satire? Calling her trailer trash is satire?

Satire? I don’t take it that way. It’s the God’s honest truth.

Satire in that he’s writing as if he’s a lib saying this stuff, but clearly NRO isn’t posting up lib rants. This is a conservative exposing the libs agenda.

Yup. Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight; play for keeps. The other side does.

Rather, think of the Democratic Party as what it really is: a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.

He's got that right.

Yeah, I got that part. I refer to that as reverse role playing, not satire. This guy nailed it.

Might be satire but a very powerful piece of work. Stunning really.

Good satire has to have a grain of truth to it and this article has a whole bushel. Or two.

“Satire? Calling her trailer trash is satire?”

He’s attacking what the left was spewing — he was being critical of the term.

**Turn her life upside down. Attack her politics, her background, her educational history. Attack her family. Make fun of her husband, her children. Unleash the noted gynecologist Andrew Sullivan to prove that Palin’s fifth child was really her grandchild. Hit her with everything we have:**

And so the lamestream ABCNNBCBS did exactly that!

LOVE IT! New tagline, though a bit edited to fit the allotted number of characters.

All I can say is, a harmless target attracts no fire.

“Sarah Palin is finished. Theres only so much a decent woman can take.”

Depends on what she’s finished with. If elected politics, perhaps, but by her own choice. If as a forceful advocate of the conservative cause — she’s only getting started.

Confrontation with the left needs to become a whole lot less civil.
