WHY THE LEFT HATES SARAH PALIN SO DAMN MUCH

Teh Resistance speculates:

Liberal women hate Sarah Palin because she reminds liberal women of the pretty, smart, successful cheerleaders they hated in high school. Worse, instead of peaking in high school, like pretty, smart, cheerleader types are supposed to, she went on to have a great career and she’s married to a solid hunk instead of some whiny metrosexual....

When her daughter developed an unexpected pregnancy, and when she discovered her child was special needs, Sarah didn’t do what liberals want women to do in those situations: have the baby killed for her convenience. Deep down, liberals know abortion is a horrific and selfish act. They use metaphors like “choice” and “reproductive rights” to hide this from themselves, and they tell themselves that conservative, Christian women would also kill their babies rather than suffer the inconvenience of an unwanted pregnancy or an imperfect child. Sarah Palin really burst their bubbles on those counts, and laid bare the guilt and shame they feel for advocating such a barbaric practice.

Sarah Palin approached her daughter’s unexpected pregnancy and her own special needs baby with love, compassion, dignity, and respect for the gift of life. Naturally, people who lack any semblance of those qualities hate her for it.

Not to mention, some people just need to hate. So they become leftists, because it’s okay to hate from the left if you pick the acceptable targets.

Makes sense to me.
