Former Congressman Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN) has incurred the wrath of left wing Democrats for voicing his opinion of Sarah Palin. Ford's unforgivable sin was committed on an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, where he said that he expected the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate will run for President and that she is "formidable."
Ford was never a favorite of the hysterical wing of the Democrat Party, even before he made his honest remark about Gov. Palin. As chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), the 501 (c) non-profit which seeks to steer the party away from the disastrous course charted by radical leftist Democrats, he has always been something of a traitor in their eyes.
It's par for the course that the same leftists who criticize conservative Republicans for working to wrest control of the GOP away from the moderates who have nearly destroyed the party of Lincoln and Reagan will demonize any Democrat who admits that Gov. Palin is a serious force to be reckoned with. That just doesn't fit the false narrative the left and its media stenographers have labored so long to saddle her with.
But as we love to say here, hypocrisy is a prerequisite for leftism.
