I've stated this many times, but it bears repeating again - conservatives love pretty, gimmicky, things. And when this is pointed out, conservatives suddenly think that those speaking against them are enshrouded in some cloud of fear.
S.E. Cupp love to use this schtick all the time.
Any reasonable person with a partially functioning brainstem can easily see that Palin is not a figure to be feared. At best, she's a thorn in the side of the conservative movement, continually making the caricature, cartoonish, image of the movement she is apparently trying to "lead" all the more real.
Recently, Oliver Willis posted on Twitter about this imagined "fear" that people like Cupp love to talk about. He stated that liberals and progressives fear Palin about as much as Brer Rabbit feared the briar patch.
That pretty much sums it up.
A Blog Version Of The Inside Of My Head. The place where politics, film, the media, music, pop culture, and random topics collide in an orgy of neo-philisophical randomness that would make your mother scream.

"authentic" "genuine" "a sexist country", from the two ladies with dyed hair and make-up, possibly some botox, and low-cut shirts....
if sarah and her "you betcha" crew walked around like i do, without makeup or a $150,000 wardrobe, i *might* be on the "she's authentic" bandwagon because it would be something we actually have in common...
but she's not so the point is moot...there is nothing genuine about sarah palin, even her talking points are recycled...
just because you have a cervix doesn't mean you are a victim of the "evil librul" agenda...
