Hating Palin
By Ben Voth

As a communication professional I have largely been at a loss to
explain the judgments being drawn about Governor Palin by allegedly
expert pundits. The general meme from pundits is that Palin is a
quitter who cannot take the heat.

It seems like the 'heat' has been more like hate -- maybe we are
dealing with a simple spelling error? Journalism has gotten rather
weak of late.

A public figure openly called for Palin to be raped during the
campaign. Months after the losing campaign was over, a major comedian
joked about the fictitious rape of one of her daughters. Immediately
after the election, her church was burned. It's fairly difficult to
reconcile this 'heat' as something conventional in politics. In fact,
there might be some good reason to collectively indict Palin critics
for their silent complicity.

This would go a long way to explain why many in the public seem more
drawn to Palin after the resignation and the absurd media reactions to
it. Keep in mind that these incidents remain unrepented public
attacks. The media refused to offer much comment on the burning of
Palin's church -- a silence which conveyed an implied endorsement of
that attack. Imagine if Obama had lost the election and Jeremiah
Wright's church had been burned. Where would the punditry be?

Given the peculiar failure of pundits to "understand" her July 3
statement, it is useful to return to the actual text of her
statement. With such attention we can discover some of the possible
confusion of pundits and reveal the largely ignored messages contained
in Governor Palin's statement. Most interesting is the discussion
about her children:


"In fact, this decision comes after much consideration, and finally
polling the most important people in my life -- my children (where the
count was unanimous... well, in response to asking: ‘Want me to make a
positive difference and fight for ALL our children's future from
OUTSIDE the Governor's office?' It was four "yes's" and one "hell
yeah!" The "hell yeah" sealed it - and someday I'll talk about the
details of that... I think much of it had to do with the kids seeing
their baby brother Trig mocked by some pretty mean-spirited adults
recently.) Um, by the way, sure wish folks could ever, ever understand
that we ALL could learn so much from someone like Trig -- I know he
needs me, but I need him even more... what a child can offer to set
priorities RIGHT -- that time is precious... the world needs more
‘Trigs', not fewer."


The mocking of a disabled child, Trig Palin, must stand out as one of
the most uniquely cruel and despicable contemporary trends of American
politics.

Could this be what Bill Clinton envisioned when he asked the nation to
bring to an end the politics of personal destruction in the 1990s? It
is clear that the entire Palin family would like to broaden their
advocacy beyond the borders of Alaska. What is also clear is that
pulsing at the center of Media contempt toward Palin is not simply
stated positions on abortion but real life actions that are so
striking and meaningful that they enrage a pretentious political
community [Liberal Fascists] feigning interest in "women's rights."

Palin was one of the rare political figures recently courageous enough
to defend Carrie Prejean -- another conservative woman who "needed" to
lose her job for speaking her mind on gay marriage. While Republicans
stood around and stared at their political feet, and Democrats cheered
from the sideline, Prejean was treated to a vicious rhetorical stoning
in the national media. Palin stepped into the fray and in defense of
another strong conservative woman. It is rather easy to see how Palin
envisions trading her provincial limits of Alaska for a national
pedestal on such transparent political problems confounding our
culture.

Palin's conclusion utilized a quotation from Douglas MacArthur -- an
American general famously dismissed by Democrat President Harry
Truman. Truman's dismissal of MacArthur and the ensuing public
controversy did great damage to Truman's public credibility. Despite
his rogue disposition, MacArthur continued through his rebuttals to
secure a place in history as a tough fighter on the military
battlefield as well as the political battlefield. Here again pundits
seem to miss the rhetorical boat about the larger fight Palin will
bring in the next campaign after an apparent "defeat in the
Philippines" of 2008.

Consider further the unique context of current events. Michael
Jackson is revered at his funeral as someone who really knew how to
love children -- unlike Sarah Palin who the Huffington Post reported
would be running on the "more retardation platform" in 2012.

Governor Sanford gets a slap on the wrist from his Republican
colleagues and pundits agree -- he should not expect to resign. Could
life be more absurd?

Punditry confusion over Palin's decision and statement is a strategy
to absolve critics of their low moral stature in observing the
despicable cultural conduct toward Governor Palin and her family.
After all, America's political punditry does have an informal role as
referee. Some partisans were not unafraid to suggest that Palin had
crossed the line when she accused Obama of "palling around with
terrorists." It was in their view inappropriate and excessive. The
failure to fairly call the playing field of American politics has
rightly left the American public observing an obscene scene of
political mayhem. The scene clearly disgusts and offends the public
across the political spectrum. According to the current commentators,
all of the events since August 2008 are some sort of confused
nightmare from which we in the electorate can now awaken and come to
our senses. Nothing really happened since there was not a "real"
candidate in Governor Palin. For some in the politically elite
class, such absurd rationalizations will work, but for a sizable
component of the public who saw in Palin their own cultural and
political fortunes, these comments will serve as further fuel for
their partisan fires.

I suspect that many journalists watching their market shares evaporate
and their shareholders sell, are aware that the American public is not
sad to witness their collective demise. The stony silence among the
media class about the hateful vitriol dispensed upon Governor Palin
and her family has not gone unnoticed in the public. Whatever the
future of Governor Palin, it's a safe bet that her political career
will last longer than a great many pundits who make themselves
complicit in this disgraceful conduct of American politics and
culture.

Is this the same guy who parks his Cadillac in front of the welfare office
while he collects his check, or is this the guy who left Canada so he could
get heart surgery in Houston?

If you can't provide a cite, it's as phony as when Palin's political
opponents claim she stated that she could see Russia from her house.

in all of Socialist Canada.

Really? Proves nothing, ****stick. For years, rightards claimed someone
from Canada went to Houston to get the heart surgery he couldn't get at
home. Of course, they were unable to provide a name.

Since we're into anecdotes, ****head, the Canadians I've spoken with--real
Canadians, not rich rightard loons and political shills--are satisfied with
their health care system.

Meaning: Numbnutz doesn't have a cite, so it's just another unfounded
anecdote.

I doubt that Minneapolis would have over 150 MRI's; that would be a huge
waste of MRI's. But you enjoy being a pathological liar, don't you?

Yes. (The real) Palin, when asked of her international political
qualifications, just claimed that she could see Russia from a part of
Alaska -- a part of Alaska she had NEVER been to. Some qualification.
Bwahahahahaha!!!

Sorry, all you Palin lovers; spin it any way you want, but she still
comes across as an intellectual lightweight and a major league ditz.

That MILF vote will get you in trouble every time. Try using your big
head the next time you vote.

Hypocrites usually accuse the opposition for what they are guilty of -
in this case - hate.

I highly doubt she is hated - just not respected. She brings
everything on herself but accuses the "liberal media" for pointing out
her faults.
