From TownHall.com.
I've been a little annoyed at the recent media characterization of Sarah Palin as a purely "Social Conservative" or "Traditionalist" pitted against the "Reform" or "Fiscal Conservative" wing of the GOP.
It's not that Palin isn't a social conservative (she is), but as governor, her social positions did not define her. It is very obvious that the media has sought to define her as a social conservative, in an effort to pigeon-hole her -- and to diminish her reputation. What is more, aside from all-but calling her a religious fanatic, the media has sought to portray her as a Mike Huckabee-esqu populist.
I don't make this charge often and I hate it when other people do but I feel that some of these elite GOP "thinkers" and the people calling Palin an idiot don't like her because she is a woman
ReplyDeleteI think there is something to that..

as if dialect=intelligence.
