Leftwing Enemy No. 1
11.24.09

Sarah Palin sets off liberals the way Klingons set off tribbles. And the result is just as amusing. There’s nothing like watching liberals squeal and chatter like hysterical monkeys when a strong female conservative saunters into the political jungle.
Why is Palin perceived as such a threat? I think the explanation is simple. Palin is a decent human being guided by strong personal values that don’t bend easily to compromise. As a person, she’s everything the Left is not. They resent and despise her the same way the well behaved, teacher’s pet, straight-A student irritates the underachieving child—especially when mom asks, “Why can’t you be more like Sara? She’s such a nice girl.”
Sarah Palin irritates liberals everywhere she goes—and on such a fundamentally visceral level. What better evidence can there be to keep her in the game? She holds no political office, and is not a candidate for anything. Yet she has this peculiar ability to draw the bitter bile right out of our friends on the Left. That’s got to count for something.
