This would be after democrats personally attacked her family, including her youngest son with Downs Syndrome, launched a series of frivolous ethics charges while she was AKs governor, accused her 14-year-old daughter of bedding Alex Rodriquez, and attempted mass murder in the arson burning of her church in Wasilla... right?
The left already had it. She unleashed it on the right.
