Attack of the petty Palin Haters

Get a load of this loser.  Jeremy Paul Olson tried to chuck two tomatoes at Sarah Palin while she sign books at the Mall of America. The dingbat had such bad aim that not only did he miss Sarah Palin completely, he hit a police officer in the face!

From My Fox9:

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (FOX 9) - A man was arrested for throwing tomatoes at Sarah Palin during her book signing on Monday at the Mall of America.

Jeremy Olson, 33, allegedly threw two tomatoes from the second balcony, however did not come close to hitting Palin.

Bloomington Police report that Bloomington Commander Mark Stehlik was struck in the face with one of the tomatoes and may face charges for assaulting a police officer. Olson was booked at the Bloomington jail. He was arrested for suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.

What a complete twit! As Palin’s stature grows on this book tour, her detractors seem to grow more and more petty by the minute. In the last month we have heard them whine about, her flying instead of taking the bus, they have bitched and moaned about her photographer charging for pictures and they went absolutely ape shit because Palin said people have a right to question Obama’s birth certificate.

Like I said way back in the beginning of this blog, the left is creating a Teflon Palin. All of these silly little attacks, complains and whines are only going to amount to a big fat “so what” come 2012. Just like when Hillary ran, the electorate treated the years of GOP attacks like old news. The only difference in Palin’s case will be that the attacks will seem unreasonable too.

Think about it, what has Palin actually done to garner such hatred? Palin has not passed any national legislation, she has not stopped any national legislation and Palin currently holds no office to accomplish either. Yet, she is treated with the same kind of hatred as George W. Bush.  It simply doesn’t make sense.

So with each hate story they tell and with each tomato they throw, the left is creating the very thing they fear the most Madame President Palin.

Teflon Palin: Another backfire in the making. Part 2

Just a few short days ago, I said the Democrats weren't going to take a lefty blogger's advice and leave Governor Palin alone. Well, score one for me, two stories out today says that Obama's Flying Monkeys (James Carville and Rahm Enmauel) are going to try to go after Governor Palin as they did Rush Limbaugh! Considering how the Rush Limbaugh attacks worked out for them, you would think they would know better than to attack Palin.

Over at RedState.com they see four reasons why this will backfire on the Democrats.

1. The Democrats risks making Governor Palin the automatic front runner in 2012.
2. 41% of Independents (as per Pew Research) said they were turned off by the media's attacks on Palin.
3. Attacking women is always risky business.
4. Voters are expecting Democrats to lead not attack like the opposition party.

The take over at HotAir.com is that Governor Palin is minding her own business over in Alaska, attacking her will look gratuitous.

I have a different take. Until now, Governor Palin, has kept her mouth shut on national politics. The only real thing she has spoken about was the Stimulus Plan and only in the context of her state. Attacking Governor Palin will give her plenty of excuse to interject herself into national politics. Sarah Palin is a natural populist, given the underlying rage in the public right now, one common sense appeal coming from a perceived common man (or in this case woman) and Governor Palin could easily turn the tide against the administration. We need look no further than MEP Daniel Hannon's overnight success. With Rush Limbaugh the Democrats were playing with matches, with Governor Palin they could be playing with an H-Bomb! Stay tuned!

Teflon Palin: Another backfire in the making?

The backfired Anti-Limbaugh plan reminds me of a blog I read yesterday on Talking Points Memo, about how the left’s insane and intense attacks on Sarah Palin could very well backfire on them in 2012. Basically, the blogger warns Democrats that all of these attacks, smear jobs and so forth are only keeping the Governor in the news and that four years from now, their smears will amount to a big fat "so what". He/she uses Hillary Clinton as an example. Republicans kept up the drumbeat on Hillary for years and when she threw her hat into the ring, all the ammo against her was already used and defused. Judging from the comments on the blog, the Democrats are not going to listen to this warning.

I have to admit I see some truth in this. I would have sworn Hillary was dead meat when the ‘08 election started. I thought how could such a scandalized candidate ever stand a chance? Yet there she was, the early frontrunner at the start of the Democratic primaries, holding her own against all of the Republican challengers in early polls and dogging Obama’s campaign to the very end. Could the same happen to Palin in 2012?

Quite possible, despite the onslaught she faced throughout the campaign and right up to today, Palin’s poll number in Alaska are still quite impressive.
All of these attacks on Palin serves as a pre-election vetting process. When new attack comes out, they are being answered by the Governor, SarahPAC and Pro Palin sites like Conservatives4Palin.com and TeamSarah.org. If this keeps up, what will be left to use against her in 2012?

Furthermore, many of the Democrats’ attacks against Palin seem to hit the very middle class that Democrats say they support. For example, Bristol’s baby. Many lefties try to paint Palin as a bad mother, because her daughter got pregnant out of wedlock. Well, how many hard working middle class families face the same situation? Are they now all bad parents? What about those cracks at Trigg? Last time I checked, Palin wasn’t the only person in America with a Special Needs child (this attack will prove really unpopular, case in point, Obama’s quick 180 on his Special Olympics crack).

All in all, I see the whole “bring down Sarah at all costs” effort, creating a Teflon Palin. A Sarah Palin who only has to worry about bringing her A- Game and not worried about answering four year old smears. Time will tell, Game On!
