Why All The Fear?

Once again, Sarah Palin is fast becoming the number one topic of conversation among political pundits and loud mouth, race hustlers like Chris Matthews. I've said it once and I'll say it again, ad nauseum if I have to, that you know when a person is feared when they are a constant topic of conversation. Last night, I was watching Bill O'Reilly interviewing Bernie Goldberg in regards to O'Reilly's first interview segment with Sarah Palin. Goldberg, as usual, nailed it, paraphrasing, he said, "If you hated Sarah Palin going into the interview, you're going to come away hating her. If you went into the interview liking her, you'll come away liking her...". Listening to Rush Limbaugh this morning, he had a brief dust up with a caller that was obviously scared witless of Sarah Palin. Rush, being quick on his feet, asked the caller why he feared her. The caller answered a question with a question and shot back at Rush, why he feared Obama. Being Rush, he quickly answered the distraught caller's question that Obama is destroying the country with his policies. Rush then demanded reciprocation and the caller answered with mindless gibberish and claptrap. Then Rush asked the ultimate question, which was more of a statement, again, I am paraphrasing, "What is it about this woman that drives you so crazy?  She can't do a damn thing to you, Jerry." (Full transcript). And that's the question. Why do people fear Sarah Palin when she is no position of power? The answer to this perplexing question is simple. It's jealous envy and fear. People, particularly liberals and liberal women, despise and fear her because they fear her popularity. Because they know that if she decides to make a 2012 run, she can do some considerable damage, not only to any potential democrat, but also to the GOP if she runs on a third party ticket. What this means is that the more independent support she gets, the more democrats and RINO's get really nervous. Despite his loss in NY-23 (which I suspect will be contested as the absentee ballots are being counted), Doug Hoffman surged dramatically in the polls when Sarah Palin publicly endorsed him. This is of massive import, because Doug Hoffman ran against Bill Owens (D) and Dede Scozzafava (RINO) on a third party ticket. Another indication that the she is feared is the fact that the fringe, state run media has to resort to badgering a 17 year old girl at a Sarah Palin book signing event: A Rasmussen poll posted on November 17 on the Admonition blog, shows that she is more popular than Barack Obama and this is at the heart of the fear. You can see the poll here. We all know that Obama is a one termer and liberals know it. They also know that a 2012 Sarah Palin ticket could also mean a potential win and they will stop at nothing to destroy her at all costs.
