And the bit about getting into people’s faces – that’s right in line with the mindset of the baggy pants wearing crowd. Get into their face, maybe wave a shank or shiv, flash some signs.

You’ll see change in January if the Presidential limo starts sporting spinner wheels, fuzzy dice, and a BOOMING subwoofer mounted in the trunk blasting Ludacris. That change, is what will be left in your pocket after the Government gets done shaking you down for every last dollar you have.

Please don’t get me wrong. I am NO Obama supporter. But if you’re going to rail against hypocrisy, how can it be fair to remove the content that you’re justifying? Let it stand, so that people at least know what you’re talking about.

The other side of the it, is that such attacks are counterproductive. They create sympathy for Palin. The folks that are engaging in attacks on Palin are doing their side more harm than good.

Palin is shooting herself in the foot with troopergate, though. The cover-up is causing far more damage than anything she’s conceivably hiding. If she’d cooperated, the worst that would happen is that they say she done wrong, and she could say, OK, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again, and people would readily forgive her.

The attack dogs should pay attention to Bill Clinton. He was painfully careful about his words, saying that Palin connected well with crowds, making her a formidable opponent, that he disagreed with her for reasons of policy, and that he’d go Democrat anyway, but that she was nobody to underestimate.

Last April, I suggested on my blog that McCain ought to be thinking about a female running mate. I mentioned Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina as obvious possibilities – but recommended Sarah Palin as a better choice. I know more about Sarah now – a LOT more – but I still think she was a good choice. In fact, I think the GOP ticket is upside down. They ought to be running Palin for President, McCain as veep.

As for the “…fascist pig” comment. The roots of fascism were born in the left of the political spectrum, not the right. Jonah Goldberg’s great book “Liberal Fascism” takes through the history of Fascism and Socialism in great detail.

Ultimately, as we all know, the left is all about being tolerant as long as you don’t disagree with them on anything. Of course the the “hug the trees, save the whales, kill the babies” crowd always must resort to personal attacks when logic can’t support their arguments. I’m not defending the right either by the way, I just hate the double-standards and hipocracy just like the left does when one of the Republican “family values” people gets caught with their pants down (so to speak).
