Sarah Palin is still Sarah Connor

And the machine still wants to destroy her.

Why do they hate and fear her so? Especially feminists?

1) During the election, it was sound and fury. Or, as some have called it, projection. Create a huge fog of accusations, charges, and complete lies, and the focus would be on Ms. Palin (and the refutation of those lies, to be conveniently ignored) rather than on the Empty Suit Known as Obama.

2) She scares a lot of feminists. Look, everyone does what they think will make them happy. I wonder how many of those who hurl the factually-deficient hate have a secret fear in their heart: I made my choices, and they don’t make me happy. She made similar choices for herself (with a different political slant), and she’s been incredibly successful based on her own hard work…and, damnit, she looks happy. Ms. Palin’s success and apparent happiness might just mean the hate hurlers made the wrong choice (you can say a lot of things about Hillary Clinton, but can you really say she looks…you know…happy?).

3) Finally, this is more about the Proudly Public Leftists than feminists. Sarah Palin has actual achievement to her name. For the Proudly Public Leftist, saying the Correct Things is much more important than Actual Achievement. Thus, The Empty Suit Known as Obama can talk about Hope, Change, etc, while not having any real accomplishments to his name, and He Is Praised. Ms. Palin, who has a number of real, verifiable accomplishments on her resume, says the InCorrect Things (personally pro-life for instance), and thus, she is The Anti-Christ in Heels.
