If Sarah Palin were a Democrat 9/14/08
If Governor Palin were a Democrat (but the same family scenario), how much imagination does it take to come up with the reaction of the culture warriors (Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Phyllis Schlafly, James Dobson, et al).... They'd have shredded here by now with, no doubt, memorable rants....

Surely Rush would have a right to bash her stand on the sanctity of marriage. After all, he has tried it four times already. Given his history, I have no doubt he could still justify a rant on a candidate who comes from a town with the auspicious label as the meth capital of Alaska.

ReplyDeleteI'm no defender of O'Reilly, and he's horribly wrong about several issues, but to lump him in with Limbaugh, Schlafly and Dobson tells me you don't actually watch him a whole lot.

DeleteYou're right. I rarely watch him because he's a high priest of the "I'm right and (if you disagree with me) you're stupid" crowd.
On the admittedly limited occasions I have seen him he's always angry. Not a big fan of parishioners in the church of Our Lady of the Perpetually Pissed, no matter their stripes.
Maybe his politics don't mesh exactly with the others mentioned, but, hey, he called himself a culture warrior; even wrote a book with that title I believe. So he kind of puts his defenders in a box on that one.
And as near as I've been able to tell, he was a staunch defender of Sarah Palin. My point remains, had she been a Democrat with the same baggage...

DeleteHis defenses of Palin weren't generally ideological. It was more of an attack on the MSM for being unfair. Had she been a Democrat, no defense would have been necessary because there would have been no MSM attacks in the first place. And he was repeatedly accused by the right of giving Obama the benefit of the doubt while not giving McCain the same courtesy. It's an eye of the beholder thing, nothing more. When it comes to politics, he's fair. He'll blast and defend both sides. My opinion is that he's got it backwards a lot, blasting when he should be defending and vice versa, but he is generally fair about it.
