"Palin Envy" Edition.
Fishersville Mike:
"Jennifer Rubin coins a great phrase to describe feminists' trouble dealing with Sarah Palin... Palin envy"Jimmie Bise at The Sundries Shack:
"Sarah Palin is more accomplished, happier, and more popular than [Anna Holmes and Rebecca Traister] combined. She chose her own route, made the best use of her own abilities, built a family to whom she is fiercely devoted, and, worst of all, has a vibrant and loving partnership with her husband, whom she considers indispensable. She’s the girl next door who is just at home in heels as she is mud boots, who can go out off-roading all day with her family and show up that night as a fancy dinner and wow everyone she meets. And she does this all without an expensive liberal girls’ college education or years marinating in the poisonous stew that is modern feminism. It’s a shame that the authors can’t say what they really feel: for all they say they hate Sarah Palin, deep in their heart of hearts they want to be her."Anna Belle at Peacocks and Lilies:
"It’s ironic that Holmes and Traister would call Sarah Palin a 'dim, opportunistic, mean-girl prom-queen' when they are the ones to simultaneously attack the older women in their party and smear Palin with their ignorant caricature of her person and achievements. Mean girls, indeed."Erick Erickson at RedState.com:
"Remember just a few months ago when every leftist in America screamed whenever anyone on the right accused Obama and the Democrats of being socialists? You’d think we’d just called them something profane other than describing who they actually are. Now, here we have two lefty feminists convinced one of Sarah Palin’s worst traits is that she bashes socialism. Voters delivered themselves into the hands of San Francisco Democrats without realizing it and are now desperately trying to extricate themselves. Meanwhile, the socialists finally feel comfortable enough to call themselves that. How much longer before they start bashing tea partiers for bashing communism?"Tabitha Hale:
"For all the talk of their support for women, there is no one on a national level doing for liberals what Sarah Palin is doing for conservatives in this election."Sister Toldjah:
"Palin... put the face of a very powerful staunchly conservative female politico on every TV in America for the first time. And, to the shock of some, I’m sure, she wasn’t the scary caricature that the hard left had painted of the typical conservative woman for decades. She was young, successful, married, a mother of four, a governor, and she came across as 'one of us.' And she denounced liberal feminist pet issues like abortion on demand and mandatory sex ed in schools, and, unlike many liberal women in government, she was a strong supporter of the US military which meant – gasp – she didn’t hate men, nor did she blame them for all that was wrong with the world. Needless to say, this made her a Priority 1 Target for the radical feminists on the left..."Freedom Fighter at Joshuapundit:
"Part of Sarah Palin's appeal is that she lives dangerously and has had no problem taking on the GOP establishment. That would simply be impossible for anyone mired in the Church of Progressive orthodoxy."Laura Brod at Hot air's Green Room:
"Liz Cheney and Sarah Palin... do not easily fall in line with the social agenda of the left — or the establishment on the right– for that matter. Women’s groups have attacked these high profile women, and others like them, who are not [staying] within the little glass box of issues pre-packaged up for them by the left. These women will shatter that little glass box and the step beyond the typical toward the possible."Northern Exposer at Conservative Jedi:
"She was one of the most popular and successful governors in Alaskan history, she's an independent, smart, classy woman with a good family and she's raising a special-needs child... So why do so-called 'feminists' hate Sarah Palin and not the oppressive way of life for women who live under Sharia law?"Scott Whitlock at Newsbusters:
"A day after highlighting Sarah Palin's political 'losing streak,' Good Morning America's Jon Karl on Wednesday acknowledged the stunning turn in Alaska's Senatorial primary race: 'But Joe Miller is a Tea Party candidate who had Sarah Palin's support. He, now, is ahead.' Karl on Wednesday didn't mention anything about the former governor's 'losing streak' ending. Instead, co-host Robin Roberts spun the results as a 'GOP family feud.'"John Dickerson at Slate:
"Sarah Palin has special medicine... Whether Miller wins or not, Palin has already won."Avik Roy at National Review Online:
"The attack on Sarah Palin has been: 'Palin is lying. There is nothing in this bill that is a death panel' (death panel being defined as a panel of bureaucrats who decides whether or not you can continue receiving care). But this is exactly what happens in Britain. Those who are in their last years of lives are expected to do their part for the national budget, which is to die inexpensively."John Phillips via Twitter:
"I think it's now obvious: @SarahPalinUSA has the best political instincts in the country"Ari Fine at Strictly Right:
"Sarah Palin has been the most effective voice of the conservative alternative to the Democrats’ European style socialism. Through her Facebook posts, Twitter messages, television appearances and public speeches, the former Governor of Alaska has been a one woman wrecking crew, taking on Obama and his party at every turn. Sarah Palin is an articulate and fearless voice for modern, common-sense conservatism. The Left has predictably deployed its calumny tactics, trying to slime the Palin family. They have not quieted her."Chris Good at The Atlantic:
"There is power in Palin's argument. A lot of working-class people, union members included, are socially conservative and probably oppose part, or a lot, of Obama's agenda."- JP
