The Left Must Have FEAR of Sarah Palin

Leftists must certainly fear the charisma of Sarah Palin. They have already begun dissecting her new book catching discrepancies. One has to wonder why the MSM did NOT embrace the same scrutiny about President Barack Hussein Obama’s lies and/or deceptions about his protectiveness over his original birth certificate or his school records. This is not to mention his connection to racist spiritual leaders and avowed Marxists. Most of this stuff should have been met with transparency rather than paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for legal bills in clouding transparency.

Yet Sarah Palin has been vilified ever since she hit the national spot light via Senator McCain’s choice of running mate to entice Conservative Republicans to look away from some of the issues that instilled mistrust. It is part of this vilification that drove Sarah Palin from the Office of Governor of Alaska. Palin’s spot light did not include independent wealth or moneyed Leftist organizations (or individuals) to pay for the legal bills to fight back the Alaska State Congressional Dem inquisition to discredit Palin’s stature.

Incidentally the multiple ethics violation accusations have all been dismissed. The Alaska State Dems even failed to latch on to the most palpable scandal; viz. the firing of Alaska’s head of law enforcement. The sour grapes produced by being fired left recrimination for not going after the ex-husband of Palin’s sister. Evidently the sister’s ex-hubby was a wife abuser which included threatening the sister and their father. Palin’s reason for firing was is irrelevant since Alaska State enables the Governor the prerogative to dismiss. After the MSM did a great job of covering the opinion of the fired Chief, there was little covering of the Chief’s lack of substantiation.

Then there is President Obama. Only an idiot can believe the President has adequately participated transparent full disclosure as he promised in his deceptive campaign. The Left and the MSM still continue to ignore Obama and continue to plow the field of dirt to stick on Sarah Palin. The conclusion for Leftist examination of Palin can only be one thing. That thing is fear. The fear is Sarah’s stature will influence future voters as either a force to reckon with or perhaps even a potential Conservative Presidential candidate.

Thus there will be some excoriation of Palin’s book recently released: “Going Rogue: An American Life.”

Here comes the Sarahlanche

Class warfare is breaking out as Sarah Palin begins promoting her book. The left is already hard at work finding passages in Going Rogue to make fun of. On MSNBC this morning, the Morning Joe crew cited a passage mentioning hunky Todd as worthy of a Harlequin Romance, playing schmaltzy music and laughing.

Take that, Harlequin readers! You are not cool enough to vote for Obama -- or liberal Dems for that matter. You are not worthy of swells like Katrina Vanden Heuvel, the wealthy heiress who favors leather jackets, long hair and radical leftism, and could not contain her contempt for Sarah on GE's cable news outlet.

Meanwhile, Sarah Palin rolls out her promotion tour starting with Oprah, a shrewd move for a woman who still inspires terror in the hearts of her enemies. Their principal defense is the sneer. But the problem with that weapon is that such snobbery is that by definition it appeals mostly to those who think they are better than most ordinary people. That's not a winning coalition.

I fully expect Going Rogue to sell millions of copies. It may even top the sales of Mark Levin's landmark book, Liberty & Tyranny, which is the bestselling nonfiction book of the year so far. The conservative base is not just fired up, it is educating itself, and buying lots of books in the process. The success of Liberty & Tyranny reflects favorably not just on Mark Levin, but on conservatives. How many books of political theory have been so widely embraced? It is a foundation stone for a rising political movement, and that makes it important.

Now comes Sarah Palin, who, despite an unprecedented smear campaign, can speak over the heads of the media to a public which pays close attention to her views. Whether or not she runs for president, her stature as a major conservative voice will be enhanced by the coming Sarahlanche.

Keep your eyes open for criticism of Sarah for using a ghostwriter. She is not concealing this fact. Jack Cashill has provided highly persuasive evidence that Bill Ayers was Obama's ghostwriter for his first book (despite his claim that he wrote it himself), so public discussion of ghostwriting has the potential to backfire for the left.
