They’re Looking For Palin – And a Clean Pair of Shorts
Yes, once again, I have referenced my favorite line (kinda) from Ace Ventura. But who’s looking for Sarah Palin, and consequently, clean shorts, you may ask? The answer: the Left. The other answer: because she absolutely scares the daylights out of the people who hate her.
Day in and day out, you can find some frightened liberal ranting about how stupid she is, how subversively she acts, and how our nation’s imminent doom comes hand in hand with her popularity. Let me set the record straight: I do not favor Sarah Palin as a politician or conservative leader. I think she is rather dull. I think she is under-qualified to be president. I think she is a good person, she’s hot, and I’d love to hunt small animals with her. And every time I hear her assailants launching into another spiteful, awful diatribe against her, I cringe in my seat. Yet I have to bear it, because the diatribes only contribute to the illegitimacy of the speaker – every hateful comment is a self-inflicted wound that drives them deeper into insignificance. But regrettably, this also drives more followers to the Palin political bandwagon.
If only they realized this. If the Left could only control their bitterness, just hide it for two more years. Yet they betray their own creed of being the most intellectually superior and better human beings by being blind to these repercussions. While they smash Palin for being “foolish” (Matt Rothschild, The Progressive), or “having nothing going on mentally” (Chris Matthews, Hardball),” they are in fact promoting her success, and consequently their own failure. But that doesn’t surprise me, because Matthews is a moron. But our own too-cool-for-school Daily Stun writers fall in the same trap, calling Palin’s success a “steaming pile of ****” and saying she “wages war on thoughtfulness.”
Stun writer Cody Gault accuses “pseudo-anti-intellectuals like Harvard-educated Bill O’Reilly and Cornell-educated Ann Coulter” of promoting the “notion that being smart and sophisticated is un-American.” As people like Cody jump at the opportunity to make their articles more venomous and their malevolence more obvious, the line at the Going Rogue book signing gets longer. Calling people simple and dull for liking someone doesn’t bring them to your side. When you insult Palin, you insult her followers, and you push them closer towards her. When has that ever been a strategy to bring people to your cause? Perhaps, gentleman, it’s time to try a different approach to shutting down the Palin power machine?
But Matthews and Gault are too trigger-happy at the prospect of condescension. They are unwilling to exchange their contemptuousness – their scorn – for what they supposedly want: an insignificant and powerless Palin. Wise up, ‘pseudo-anti-intellectuals,’ stop being pinheads.
