"My favorite low-brow bromide is that Sarah Palin "terrifies the Left." The truth is she (and her ilk) terrify all sensible, thoughtful people on the Left and on the Right, let alone every civilized nation on Earth. That a personality less qualified, less able, less educated should ascend so rapidly (and clearly with the help of an opportunistic media on both sides of the ideological divide) speaks to the depths this nation has sunk in terms of selecting viable, wise leadership. She is a Charlie's Angel's Republican wet dream, the bodice ripping heroine of all good Christian conservative chicken hawks. Terrified? You betcha."
What frightens me more about her is that she is quite mean and nasty. When she was inciting hatred towards President Obama during the election at rallies I was shocked, yet the people at the rallies, many self proclaimed Christians, cheered this type of speech on.....
Am I the only one that sees this nasty, mean spirited side?
Therefor, I love her! Go Sarah go! The more you are out there, the more hope we the people have against corporate fascism.
and vote for her. they are the scary ones. will our wordsmithie find a way to reach those people?
The fact that some Americans cannot see this empty hypocritycal bimbo for what she is, is FRIGHTENING!
How many actually buy the BS is irrelevant, a thousand, as well as two, is too many. It is scary that there are people in here, presumably voters, who fail to see through her shtick. But again, the same crowd enjoys professional wrestling, and thinks that the Generals are due to beat the Globetrotters...
Yeah, it is scary!
Study by Benjamin Edelman - 2009
“... subscriptions [to online pornography] are also more prevalent in states where surveys indicate conservative positions on religion, gender roles, and sexuality. In states where more people agree that “Even today miracles are performed by the power of God” and “I never doubt the existence of God,” there are more subscriptions to this service. Subscriptions are also more prevalent in states where more people agree that “I have old-fashioned values about family and marriage” and “AIDS might be God’s punishment for immoral sexual behavior.” Survey results come from the Pew Value Surveys (1987–2007 combined dataset).”

Why DO most shockers(be it in a restroom, some geographically misplaced Appalachian trail, or what not), in the political sphere, come from the Right-Wing representatives?
I know what my answer would be, but I wonder how many on Fixed News, and among the GOP would even dare to consider this question.
Because she's like a train wreck and we can't look away?
Because we really love our country and fear for what it is becoming?
Because she's like a train wreck and we can't look away?
Because... well, you get the idea.
What is causing the Left to tremble is that she is the face of the revolt among the populace; the fly-over middle America, the real working people (and those who would love to be working). The 70 percent of the population who poll "do nothing" or "start over" on health insurance reform. The 80 or so percent who are happy with their health care arrangements. The 70 percent or so who understand that Cap and Trade is just another tax. The 70 percent or so who are holding their collective breath waiting for the next terrorist attack and know how poorly the country is prepared for it. The 50 percent or so of Independents, declared or otherwise, who have buyer's remorse for their presidential vote. The Middle Left who feels their lives have been hijacked by Progressive nee Socialist schemes. The Far Left who feels their Jones/Wright/Ayers/Obama revolution has been sold to the pharmaceutical companies.
"How's that Hopey-Changey thing workin' out for ya" really stings, and the Left is lashing out in embarrassment.
Hardball" host Christ Matthews harshly criticized Sarah Palin for her comments that President Obama could increase his re-election chances by bombing Iran. Matthews called this line of thinking "frightening":
She's frightening. Mark, that is frightening stuff. Frightening. First of all, president don't declare war. Anybody knows that in high school. Matthews went on to say that Palin "has nothing going on mentally... I'd be afraid of her because I think she's an empty vessel ready to be filled by ideology she doesn't understand. And that is really scary."
Ahhhh, Steven, such a wonderful way with words!!! Thank you!

Or did you really think it was some sort of x-ray?
What does frighten me, is the level of ignorance, bigotry and willingness to back the very institutions and policies that have held the average American back for decades, she has exposed. When I saw average working class and poor people in DC protesting IN FAVOR of health insurance companies, I wept for this nation. Never in a million years could I have imagined such an inanity.
Palin is just a symptom of the mess this country is in. She will continue to be the cough, the runny nose and the fever, but the actual disease is the already elected bought and sold shills of the corporate swine flu, that is rapidly metastasizing, infecting and threatening the very life of this nation.
