They're talking about Sarah

I've been checking out what the blogs are saying about the whole Palin matter and would like to direct you to a few exceptionally fine posts:

First Wolf Howling has a terrific comparison between Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin. There are some good political cartoons and photographs there. Here are a couple of samples.

What an utterly repellent ghoul this hateful little man is.

You can sum up Wolf Howling entire point this way. The Republicans have a war hero and a popular reform governor on their ticket and the Democrats have . . .

Jughead and The Smirk.


Next Protein Wisdom has a rundown of the utterly disgusting and hateful attacks the left has been launching against Mrs. Palin. Here are some samples:

Time to keep a running list of Sarah Palin’s sins — lovingly gathered, mostly in crazed speculative form, by members of the Church of Diversity and Otherness Coddling, and reprinted here, with my gloss, for your delectation.

1) Alan Colmes: Poor prenatal care (waiting too long after her water broke to get to a hospital) on Palin’s part created a Downs baby. Reached for comment, Science suggested Colmes shut his ignorant yap — and for Chrissakes, get a tan.

2) Andrew Sullivan, et al: “Concern” that Palin taking time away from the young defective she should have shitcanned with a metal rod and some clinical suction (call it “compassionate eugenics“!) could cause even more harm to the useless little drain on society that should never have been born in the first place (call it “the nurturer’s addendum for those greedy hick breeders who refused to take the high road and just snuff the damaged goods in utero”). A child needs a stay-at-home-mother! — if that child happens to be the child of a Republican breeder! Or haven’t you people been paying attention to the nuances of establishment feminist theory?*

3) Also via Sullivan: Two of the Palin’s children, Piper and Willow, share names with characters from shows that deal with “witchcraft” (”Charmed,” I believe?) — though they were born and named before the show first aired. This is suggestive to Sullivan — the last of the true conservatives (well, if you don’t count Glenn Greenwald(s) and John Cole) — that the Palins are into Satanic occultism. Either that, or they like Piper Laurie (Carrie’s Mom! Fast Eddie’s gimp gal pal!) or small aircraft. In which case, just sick.

As for Willow — a city in Alaska, a Val Kilmer dwarf movie, a tree? Please. This has Old Scratch worship written all over it.

And last, but certainly not least Right Truth contrasts Palin with Obama and comes to the inescapable conclusion that Palin is more qualified to be president than Obama:

Pundits are comparing Barack Obama's experience, history, pastors, morals, family ... to those of Sarah Palin. Obama comes up wanting in each and every category. Are people excited to hear Obama speeches any more? Not like in the beginning. Are people excited about hearing John McCain's speech Thursday night? Not so much. BUT, Sarah Palin's speech, that's a different story. EVERYBODY wants to hear what she has to say.

A Tale of Two Résumés - In truth, Sarah Palin is the kind of employee virtually every enterprise seeks--the kind who gets things done. And Barack Obama is the kind of employee a company hires only when it's in the mood for taking a risk and willing to wager that the candidate's past performance isn't predictive of his future efforts.

Obama vs. Palin, by Gerard Baker via Slant Right,

Political experience

Obama: Worked his way to the top by cultivating, pandering to and stroking the most powerful interest groups in the all-pervasive Chicago political machine, ensuring his views were aligned with the power brokers there.

Palin: Worked her way to the top by challenging, attacking and actively undermining the Republican party establishment in her native Alaska. She ran against incumbent Republicans as a candidate willing and able to clean the Augean Stables of her state's government.

Political Biography

Obama: A classic, if unusually talented, greasy-pole climber. Held a succession of jobs that constitute the standard route to the top in his party's internal politics: "community organizer", law professor, state senator.

Palin:A woman with a wide range of interests in a well-variegated life. Held a succession of jobs - sports journalist, commercial fisherwoman, state oil and gas commissioner, before entering local politics. A resume that suggests something other than burning political ambition from the cradle but rather the sort of experience that enables her to understand the concerns of most Americans..

Political history

Obama: Elected to statewide office only after a disastrous first run for a congressional seat and after his Republican opponent was exposed in a sexual scandal. Won seat eventually in contest against a candidate who didn't even live in the state.

Palin: Elected to statewide office by challenging a long-serving Republican incumbent governor despite intense opposition from the party. (continue reading)

Go read the rest. We also have to give a hat tip to Debbie for pointing out that there is a new blog called Stop Smearing Sarah which is dedicated to smacking down the left's hysterical attacks on the governor. And the best part is this blog is run by a gay liberal Democrat.
