Why Sarah Scares ‘Em So
Frank Miele examines and questions what’s so scary about Sarah:
And what exactly is it that Palin is saying that mainstream Republicans are afraid of? What is she saying that scares all establishment politicians?
When you analyze her scary ideas, they usually come down to this — a belief in individual liberty and responsibility, a belief in limited government, a belief in American exceptionalism, and a belief in a Creator.
So what part of those things is offensive or stupid? What part of that “agenda” do mainstream Republicans want to run away from?
Palin is a Sad and Moldering Strangeness?
So we should gather from the hit piece by Michael Gross appearing in the October issue of Vanity Fair magazine, that Sarah Palin is “a monster?”
To sum up some of the warped views of the radical far-left, left left, mid-left, moderate left, and near left, we are suppose to believe that Sarah is: a bad tipper, lazy, unprepared, dumb, abusive, tempermental, vengeful, crazy, a liar, an airhead, “unhinged,” paranoid, a bad mom, an overprotective mom, a faux hunter, and (my favorite) that anywhere you peel back the skin of Sarah Palin’s life, a sad and moldering strangeness lies beneath..” Whatever that means.
But here’s the interesting part: the VF article is predictably negative, but its the reactions of others on the left that are astounding. They are responding to the article with their own disbelief of the constant lies. Lefties are even showing signs of morals, of embarrassment of unfounded smears, of a sudden realization that it is they who are looking ridiculous, and not the mama grizzly moose hunter.
Pro-abortion radical Monika Bauerlein of Mother Jones MOCKS what the VF writer views as a human train wreck: “Sarah, these aides say, seemed comforted by having the children around, and she seemed lonely when they were gone.” Truly a monster.
A happy, fullfilled Christian woman, former Governor, bestselling author, popular celebrity, mother of five kids, wife of a most excellent and handsome husband, fit, beautiful, healthy, and now wealthy … does that describe a sad and moldering strangeness?
Mama Grizzlies vs Ewok Femmes
Tammy Bruce mocks the “Emily’s List” radicals for attacking Palin’s Mama Grizzlies!
“Calling all Mama Grizzlies! Ewokie’s List finally came out with their ‘attack’ on Sarah Palin. And let me just say, it’s a very sad day for Mama Ewoks. Or for people who dress up in bear suits. Is this what liberals did when they went to the, er, Coffee Parties that were so fabulously successful at energizing liberals to counter the Tea Party? Yeah, well, it gets hot in those Ewok suits!”
“Ewokie’s List had a press conference today as I mocked noted yesterday. And they came out with a video featuring women dressed up as, well there’s really no other way to put it, Ewoks. They then warned all Ewoks and their cubs that Evil Sarah Palin wanted to “end health care.” You know, like cutting a breast cancer drug that you could have before but you can’t have now because your National Healthcare for Everyone makes it too “expensive.” Oh, and I can see delight in Sarah Palin’s Evil Face (as she glares out from her igloo, the light of her laptap flickering menacingly in the background) as she loots the Food Stamp fund to bailout unions. Oh wait, my bad! The Democrats, the very people Ewokie’s List supports, are doing those things! Well, Ewok’s may be able to spear you in the forest in a movie, but they were never known for understanding real life for human beings. Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air makes some excellent observations about this actually rather pathetic display.”

Levi Kicked Out “For Permanently”
Ya think? Deliberately punking the mother of his son in order to cop $100K from US Weekly, while planning more smear campaigns against her family, should definitely get you kicked out of the Palin family, “for permanently.”
Levi Johnston, douchebag of the year, has managed to extend his 15 minutes of fame for another few seconds. He got booked on the Jimmy Kimmel Show to … for … uh, well, don’t know why they brought the loser on the show, but he appeared as a guest last night.
Kimmel introduced Johnston as “to Sarah Palin what voicemail is to Mel Gibson.” After asking what his status with the Palin family is now, Levi said, “I think they kinda kicked me out now. For permanently.”
Well, I’ll bet the Palins would like this little snotball to get lost, “for permanently.”

The Media Assault on Sarah Palin
K. remembers seeing Palin emerge and walk onto the stage, dressed in a sharp black suit, as the crowd in Ohio went wild.
In Chicago, the Liberals around him cringed, as that excitement and energy reverberated through the large screens and smacked them in the face.
K. will never forget two Liberal women, clutching each other, faces blanched, with true dread in their eyes.
“What are we going to do now? She’s incredible. He can win now, with her. What are we going to do?”.
“We need to destroy her. We need the media to destroy her”.
“They need to do their job. They need to destroy her”.

Why Palin is the Left’s Worst Nightmare
In a piece he titles “Palin and the Leftist Elites,” Mark Hendrickson makes some key observations about what it means to be a progressive and a liberal – just obvious things that the left themselves overlook.
The left can’t stand that Palin, like Reagan, is not an “intellectual” – such as the left (highly) regards themselves. “To leftist intellectuals,” Hendrickson writes: “it’s okay to have a president who thinks he visited 57 states, a vice president who has claimed that Franklin Roosevelt went on television to calm the people after the stock market crash of 1929 (no TV yet, and Hoover was president) and a Speaker of the House who has insisted that we must switch from fossil fuels to natural gas. All ignorance, error, and mental dullness can be forgiven as long as one subscribes to the political catechism, “The government must control economic activity.” What is unacceptable, even evil, to them is someone like Palin who doesn’t subscribe to the same catechism, who just doesn’t “get it.”
Hendrickson was struck by a passage from the late Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises who wrote back in 1944:
The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office.
And we are still fighting these ideologies today! Apparently, we’ve learned nothing in the past 60 years – so we are bent on repeating these mistakes. Although Hendrickson makes the mistake of calling Palin “polarizing,” (and Obama isn’t?), the whole thing is worth a read.
Palin Would Make a Superb President
“If you think Obama is doing the wrong things, then you should be an admirer of Sarah Palin … because she’s the anti-Obama.” ~ Mark Levin
Oy, It’s On! Mama Grizzly Sarah Palin Calls Levi a Liar
The Anchorage Daily News reports that Governor Sarah Palin held a press conference today, the non-Obama kind where reporters are allowed to ask about anything, and the questions are not planted or approved in advance. She talked about the stimulus bill for Alaska but she also had this gem in response to a question about Levi Johnston who, along with his mom and pathologically weird sister, has been making the rounds on talk shows to smear Bristol Palin, the mother of his young infant son.
Specifically, Levi had claimed that he had moved in with the Palin family in Wasilla (“yeah, my stuff was there,” he said on the Early Show) a few weeks before Bristol gave birth to Tripp on December 28.
Governor Palin said that wasn’t true: “I know the truth about my family,” Palin said. “I know details about whether Levi Johnston was allowed to live with my teenage daughter or not. By the way, it would be over my dead body that a kid would live with my teenage daughter.”
Levi is calling the Palin family liars and claiming he did sort of live there for 2 months: “They said I didn’t live there. I ‘stayed there.’ I was like, ‘OK, whatever you want to call it’ — I had all my stuff there. So, if you wanna call it ‘staying there,’ that’s fine.”
UPDATE: Sarah said the following about Levi on the Eddie Burke Radio show yesterday:
“He’s a young kid…every kid that age has a lot of growing up to do, but forever and ever he’s going to be Tripp’s father… he’s going to be part of our family. We will love him and help him through this. I anticipate that at the end of the day, things are going to be good…just kind of a rough time right now.”
Sarah went on to say that the assertion that she and Todd allowed Levi to share a room with Bristol is a “bee in my bonnet right now…I would NEVER give a teenage boy permission to live with a teenage girl…”
In reference to the whole situation she added: “My prayer is always for wisdom and strength…part of that wisdom that I ask for is to know when to shut-up…to know when to keep my mouth shut and let the truth be revealed on its own.”
Maybe He’s Just Not That Into You, Bristol
Today we have the obligatory Johnston Family smackdown of anything named PALIN as well as a weird revelation that baby daddy Levi Johnston‘s sister Mercede has a “thing” going on for her brother.
While denying they are WHITE TRASH, the family – Levi, sis Mercede and Oxycontin mom Sherry – are loving the attention and have followed up an appearance on the TYRA BANKS SHOW Monday with an appearance on CBS’s “The Early Show” yesterday.
What’s the next stop on the coattails tour? Surely Letterman? Leno? 60 minutes? Is Jerry Springer still doing his show?
But wait for it – that “thing” that I mentioned? It seems that while Levi has a smallish tattoo of his son’s mother’s name – “Bristol” – on his ring finger, which he says he now regrets, his lil sis Mercede, who is JEALOUS of her brother’s ex-girlfriend, went out an got a honking BIG TATTOO that says “LEVI” on her WRIST. The sucker is HUGE.
Forget the fact that Mercede is only 17 and why would momma Johnston allow such a young girl, a minor, to get a permanent inking on her wrist, but why would a sister get a brother’s name nailed on her skin? It’s creepy.
It’s not like he died in Iraq – I could see a sister honoring her brother that way – but to show affection for your redneck loser brother because his life is FUBAR is just … ewwwww.
Is it some Alaska hillbilly thing? If so, Levi needs to rethink that White Trash self-actualization – it fit him to a T and it doesn’t help matters to have a sister with an incestuous a devotional tattoo on such a prominent place on her body.
Prediction time: some folks think Levi Johnston will eventually fad away, but I think he’s found his gravy train. He may go into porn (he says he’s “open” to the idea of an acting or modeling career), or he’ll try to sell a book about the Palins, or else he’ll just keep popping up on talk shows to slam Bristol and her mom until he forges a career out of “being in close proximity to a celebrity.” Hey, it worked for Kevin Federline.
Unfortunately, Levi has now become a champion of the left and is being used in their vigilant efforts to destroy Sarah Palin.
And he doesn’t even know it.
