I still hate you Sarah Palin
One of the best reads in a long time. This piece was picked up at TUN, and LLC, and Orb, but makes it's permanent home at National Review Online here.
The Republicans bring a knife to a gunfight, and lose again.
One of the most terrifying moments of my political life came last summer at the Republican convention in St. Paul. No, I don’t mean seeing John McCain careering around the Xcel Energy Center like Eyegore in Young Frankenstein, his face frozen in a Lon Chaney Sr. rictus grin as he reached across the aisle to his erstwhile friends in the media and got his hand bitten off. Rather, I’m referring to the aftermath of Sarah Palin’s outrageous acceptance speech, which whipped up the Rotary Club delegates into a frenzy of white-boy fury that not even heckling by a brave Code Pink embed could deter. Truly a fascist classic and one that sent shivers down our collectivist spines...
Not only were we offended at the sheer effrontery of McCain’s pick: How dare the Republicans proffer this déclassée piece of Wasilla trailer trash whose only claim to fame was that she didn’t exercise her right to choose? Where were her degrees from Smith or Barnard, her internships at PETA, the Brookings Institution, or the Young Pioneers? We were also outraged that the Stupid Party had just nominated a completely unqualified candidate nobody had ever heard of, a first-term governor of Alaska whose previous experience consisted of a small-town mayoralty. As opposed to our guy, Barry Soetoro of Mombasa, Djakarta, and Honolulu, a first-term senator nobody had ever heard of, whose previous experience had been as a state senator (D., Daley Machine) in Illinois. After eight long, illegitimate, lawless years of &*^%BUSH$#@! tyranny, how dare you contest this election?...
This country stinks and we won’t be happy until we’ve forced you to admit it.
In other words, stop thinking of the Democratic Party as merely a political party, because it’s much more than that. We’re not just the party of slavery, segregation, secularism, and sedition. Not just the party of Aaron Burr, Boss Tweed, Richard J. Croker, Bull Connor, Chris Dodd, Richard Daley, Bill Ayers, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Emperor Barack Hussein Obama II. Not just the party of Kendall “Agent 202” Myers, the State Department official recruited as a Cuban spy along with his wife during the Carter administration. Rather, think of the Democratic Party as what it really is: a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.
If you had any sense, you would start using our tactics against us...
Those are only parts of the piece. Very well done and very instructional for Republicans.

Bwahahaha. What a hoot. Someones missing the contextual changes of history. We knew y'all were dense, but wow.
Why would anyone read Peggy Noonan. She's a frickin' idiot. And deserving of being punched in the face, just like all of the commenters here.
liberals fear Sarah, it is as simple as that.
WOW! What depresses me even more is that the other choice is the Republicans. The party of pollution, graft and greed, theocracy, and hyper-patriotism. The party of Credit Mobilier, Teapot Dome, Watergate, and Enron. The party of Warren Harding, Ken Lay, James Watts, Ollie North, Ann Coulter, Al D'amato, Larry Craig, Katherine Harris and Mark Foley. Lets not forget the Party of Aldrich Ames, the russian spy who was recruited during the Reagan Presidency.
Maybe it's time to start from scratch. :)
Anon @ 1:30. Liberals actually would love Sarah Palin to remain a Republican figurehead. She drives reasonable people from your party.
Also, I think that the folks on the right misunderstand the left's reaction to Sarah Palin. They are not afraid, Sarah doesn't make them angry, nor does she inflict "palin derangement syndrome." For the most part they are laughing at her because she is a buffoon.
Noonan hit the nail on the head -
"a criminal organization masquerading as a political party."
Anyone looking into the $200,000,000 in donations to the Obama campaign via anonymous credit cards during the last two months of the campaign?
Anyone looking into the statistical impossiblilty of over 200,000 democrats and 0 republicans being registered in Oregon during the last three months of the campaign?
Move along folks, nothing to see here...
Let's not forget almost 800 chrysler dealers closed with only one Obama contributor in the bunch.
The Republican failure to aggressively investigate the hundreds of Democrat Party crimes perpetrated over the last two decades has emboldened these criminals to the point where feel they can get away with anything. Unfortunately, they are probably right.
Anon 3:02 -
All I can do is tell ya what I was told in 2000 and 2004. The election is over. Get over it. He won.
(do you have a source for your claim that there were no Republican registrations during the 3 months prior to the election?)
Anon 3:06 -
Is there new information about that, or are you rehashing the same story, and facts, from over a month ago?
Sarah Palin will be heard from again - just not as a candidate for POTUS. Rumors abound - she starts a 3rd party, leads a revived Tea Party movement/march on DC or gets a talk show gig. Don't know, but she could stand to develop some gravitas - when dealing with the frickin media - with their noses up the White House's ars - instead of the you betcha' and by golly' sprinkled in her speeches.
I have probably alienated about 1/2 of the conservatives here and aligned with the other half - so be it. Her run with McCain still has a bad taste in my mouth - its the whole McCain campaign that faux pas'd to the max.
Heh! Actually, Mrs. Palin is heading into the national scene, stating that she plans to campaign on behalf of conservative Democrats. Yes, you read that right:

The lefty loons are going to have to go after their own, from the look of things. Oh, wait - they already are: was just reading that iconic airhead Randi Rhodes is busily dissin' Al Franken.
I love watching them eat their own.
"do you have a source for your claim that there were no Republican registrations during the 3 months prior to the election?"
Yeah. The it's called the Oregon Secretary of State Elections Division.
And I'm not going to get over you and your scumbag ilk bringing third world election stealing to the US
"Is there new information about that, or are you rehashing the same story, and facts, from over a month ago?"
WTF?
WTF does "new information" have to do with it? Seems the "old information" ought to be enough to offend any American, regardless of party. That is, unless you're some lefty douchebag picking up a few extra dollars infesting conservative blogs from mommy's basement.
And I'm not going to get over you and your scumbag ilk bringing third world election stealing to the US
I haven't stolen anything, you greatly exaggerate my importance.
So would you consider Republican election stealing to be second world? Higher class?
I took a look at the SOS elections division site... and now I really have no idea of what you're talking about. From June 2008 to October 2008, the number of registered Democrats rose by about 55,000; the number of registered Republicans rose by about 25,000. (In November, the numbers for both actually declined by about 2000.) That is, ummm, significantly different than 200,000 to 0.
Take a look for yourself
