It is simple.

Republicans fight too many superfluous social issues, catering to boorish dregs, lamenting stupid shite up one side and down the other, propping it all up on some fundamentalist bullshite.

When you drag out abortion and contraception wars amidst population explosions, a reduction in labor demand, and a hated spike in subsidies for the poor, you seem wildly crazy.

I could get down with a republican of the country club, loose moral variety, but hat seldom exists in this pile of shite.

Conservatives want to live and be left alone. Liberals want to fix what isn'tbroken. Conservatves believe this is the best country ever in the history of man. Liberals still want to fix it.

Conservatives like to ignore reality when their rigid social ideology is self-conflicting.

Abortion contraception and zero subsidies for the living poor speaks to this.

fox news would NEVER be able to do (to hillary or warren, for exmaple) what SNL and the Daily Show did to Sarah Palin


Only Nixon could go to China.

If the group in question views you as right on their issues, you're not going to be bashed for attacking a member of that group who opposes the beliefs held by the majority of said group. That's really not that hard of a concept. Now I don't think someone on Fox bashing Hillary is necessarily being sexist, but I don't think it's that weird that a woman would look at that, a channel that perpetuates the right wing's war on her gender, with some suspicion as to their motives.

the palin treatment wasn't even about her political views, so that argument doesn't really apply

she was called a dumb count for years and years and those who did it were given a pass. you criticize a hillary or warren for legitimate gaffes, without the insults, and it's misogyny! this isn't even about views, it's just a double standard based in "libprog smart, everyone else stupid" analysis

The only people who buy into that are uninformed or uneducated. The problem is liberals support big government. Big government runs education. If public education is shitty then you have more stupid people who don't know they're stupid. It's easy to seem like liberals care about them and conservatives hate them because liberals support the system that, unbeknownst to the voter, deprived them of real education.

Through infesting the public education system and through welfare liberals have managed to build a block of dependent stupid people who will believe anything they say. And a compliant media to assist them

the underlying reason was, in fact, her political views.

and while plenty of people did and do call her dumb, i don't remember count being thrown in there.

the fact of the matter is that Palin is pretty dumb. If it were say, Sheryl Sandberg or something it would be a different story.

based on what?

i'm no palin fan, but her commentary was completely skewed and then turned into a liberal meme. just look at the "i can see russia" shite. she didn't say anything dumb, but once it went through the SNL/daily show/MSN buzz saw, it was turned into a meme or her stupidity

on the other hand you have elizabeth warren lying about being a native, being exposed for it, and then hearing her use SUPER RACIST descriptions (high cheek bones) to justify her lies...and she's protected. hell she's celebrated even more

The most famous Palin skit on SNL was literally just TIna Fey reciting what Palin had said.

and jim jefferies has a great bit on that

he does a bit about religious people hating gay people, and he quotes "them" with "I HATE FA---TS"

and then the joke becomes how he could/will be skewered by gay groups if/when they are shown just the clip of him yelling "I HATE FA---TS"

the "i can see alaska" meme was just that, iirc
