One of history’s darker truths is that scapegoats can be very effective in rallying people to a cause (right or wrong). When substantive solutions can’t be found to ameliorate a crisis simply point the finger at someone else. To keep people from laying the blame on those in power just stoke people’s fears and hatred. Seems since Bush and Cheney cleared out of Washington last January the Obamunists have found the scary boogieman hiding under their beds and in their closets to point the finger at and rally their growingly disgruntled and disappointed troops. Would you believe it possible that such a scary figure and focus of hatred could be a cute as a pixie, down home, common sense self made woman? You betcha!
Seems these days the little lady from Wasilla, Alaska is enemy number one on the Obamunist enemies list. Just observing how their pundits have derided her non-stop as insignificant, unprepared and even oafish erased any doubts that they truly hate this woman. The more she has succeeded the more they deride her. The more she accomplishes the more they say she has no accomplishments. If this was a kindergarten schoolyard I’d say they have a crush on her and in their infantile ignorance they only know how to express affection by pulling her hair. Where is the logic in proclaiming someone as insignificant when her first book is a runaway smash hit months before even going on sale? I will confess that in my naïve desire to give people the benefit of the doubt I didn’t wish to believe the anti-Palinites had truly gone off the deep end, but an unfortunate lapse in judgment which caused me to listen to NPR tonight erased all doubt. Simply put the Obamunists have lost their minds.
In the now ancient days of what by today’s standards was the Right-wing Clinton administration I used to listen to NPR nearly every day. Unfortunately along with all their Kool-Aid drinking fellows in the non FOX News mainstream media they have wholly succumbed to the addiction and loss of reason which is Obamunism. Still old habits die hard and so perhaps for nostalgia’s sake I still have one of the presets on my car radio tuned to NPR. As a result, in what would lead to a “my head feels like its going to explode moment”, I tuned into NPR on my drive home from work today. (As you know in Joe Biden’s America it is our patriotic duty to work longer hours so that we might take less money home while sending more to Washington.) The soft spoken voices which so innocently escaped my speakers were discussing Governor Palin’s best selling book and, not surprisingly, criticizing it quite heavily. No problem. Such is to be expected, but then they began taking calls from the lovers of diversity and tolerance known as modern Liberals. The callers nearly all shared a single minded vision of Wasilla’s most famous daughter which was summed up succinctly by one particularly lovely lady who referred to Governor Palin as “Osama Bin Laden”. (Friends, I invite you to insert any expletive you wish here.)
Osama Bin Laden.
Please, take a moment to let that sink in. The caller in question who dubbed Governor Palin “Osama Bin Laden”, and those surrounding her, were of a like mind that Governor Palin is an agent of Right-Wing Religious extremism and violence. The phrase “incite to violence” was used time and again to the amusement and apparent agreement of the host and guest during that block of time on NPR. Now I will admit that Sarah is no doubt a terror to Moose during hunting season but unless she is planning on flying a jumbo jet into a herd of them what kind of insane, inane, absurdist comment is it to accuse her of being another Osama Bin Laden? What is worse is that these people genuinely believe this! How twisted, how fanatical, how full of hate are the minds of these people who would find in Governor Palin’s family and values oriented speeches an incitement to violence? In their hate filled rhetoric Governor Palin’s critics are not grasping at straws they are creating an entire fiction of a magnitude so great that it almost qualifies as an “X-File”.
To put it succinctly the Obamunist hatred for Sarah Palin has grown so exponentially without any basis in reality that it is melting their collective brains.
