What are they afraid of?

Salon.com's, Juan Cole seems to believe that Sarah Palin is comparable to the Holocaust denying, wipe Israel off the face of the map Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Well, at least I won't compare this reprobate to a real journalist.

Why is the left so afraid of Sarah Palin? Is it because she connects with people like me and that scares the Hell out of them? If she wasn't a threat, then she wouldn't be in the media as much as she is. She would be a non issue, like Mitt Romney and Bobby Jindal, two possible contenders to unseat Obama in 2012, yet you hear very little of these two in the mainstream media. If they were not afraid of her, then we wouldn't be seeing these absurd and frivolous "ethics" lawsuits being filed against her by left wing zealots and loons.

Could it be that she is honest and down to earth? Heaven forbid that an honest person can be president. Why does the left wing hate machine, like Salon.com, MSNBC and the like never mention how she became governor of Alaska? After all, doesn't fighting and defeating politicians in your own party garner merit and credibility? Of course not. When a liberal democrat goes afoul, they are promoted (screw up, move up) and lauded for diligence and hard work in the past, or an attempt is made to sweep it under the rug and the race card is played.

I defy Mr. Cole to cite one instance where Sarah Palin ever stated that the Holocaust never happened or that a country is going to be wiped off the face of the earth.

An armed citizenry is important to Palin's conception of the republic, and she warned in her farewell address, "You're going to see anti-hunting, anti-Second Amendment circuses from Hollywood ..." She continued, "Stand strong, and remind them patriots will protect our guaranteed, individual right to bear arms ..." By talking about "patriots" "protecting" the individual right to bear arms, Palin skated awfully close to the militia or "patriot" movement on the right-wing American fringe (and not for the first time). Ahmadinejad is not similarly in favor of all citizens having guns, but he comes out of a popular militia, the Basij, which consists of hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizen patriots, armed and pledged to defend the constitution of the Islamic Republic.

This statement is completely absurd. At no time did she ever "skate awfully close to the militia or "patriot" movement on the right-wing American fringe..." If the moron would pull his head out of his four cornered contact, he would realize that what she was saying is that this countries Constitution is under assault. As Ronald Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction..." And Juan Cole is proving this by this blatant misrepresentation.

You're a real piece of work and a liar. If you're scared, say you're scared. I did when this walking, talking disaster was elected as president.
