Sissy Willis: The 'sad and moldering strangeness' that is Vanity Fair

*
Sissy Willis at Liberty Pundits does more debunking work on Vanity Fair's latest pack of lies:

We'll "fisk" one sentence from Vanity Fair's "Sound and the Fury" article and then rest our case:

She’s glad to be here with the people of Independence, Missouri, “where so many of you proudly cling to your guns and your religion” — the first laughline in a 40-minute stump speech that alludes to many of the perceived insults she and her audience have suffered together, and that transforms their resentments into badges of honor … anywhere you peel back the skin of Sarah Palin’s life, a sad and moldering strangeness lies beneath.

Got that? Gleefully un-fact-checked 24/7 media smears are "perceived insults." Alleged "resentments"? Try this from the Leader of the Free World:

"And it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations," Obama said.

Whose life reveals a "sad and moldering strangeness" again?
