Achtung! Andrew Sullivan Goes Nuclear; Hints Palin = Hitler
Andrew Sullivan's vendetta against Sarah Palin reached a new milestone on Friday after he insinuated that the former Alaska governor was somehow akin to Adolf Hitler. Sullivan referenced Leni Riefenstahl's infamous pro-Nazi movie after quoting a former Palin spokeswoman on what he labeled “the upcoming propaganda movie, “Triumph Of The Will” “The Undefeated.” The writer, who is a top purveyor of the “Trig Truther” theory about the Republican's youngest son, made the latest attack on his blog on The Daily Beast as part of a “quote for the day” item. Sullivan reproduced Meg Stapleton's laudatory words about the Palin documentary, which will soon be released in Iowa, and then added his beyond snarky one-liner: “If someone gives it a chance and watches it, watches the film, I think they will be surprised at the caricature that’s been drawn and the contrast to reality. I just think every aspect of it is so powerful, you cannot walk away from this film looking at Sarah Palin the same way. You just can’t,” – Meg Stapleton , on the upcoming propaganda movie, “Triumph Of The Will” “The Undefeated.” Only months earlier, during a November 7, 2010 interview with BBC Radio 4 , the blogger claimed that “Sarah Palin represents an America this is absolutely, definitionally white , that's very much rural America.” Sullivan thus leapfrogs over the white supremacist-hinting label/reference as an attack against the former vice presidential candidate, and goes straight to smearing her as a fascist.
