Daily Kos: Palin the Enemy of ‘Intelligence, Literacy, Expertise, Language, Spelling, and Truth’
In the New York Daily News on Wednesday, S.E. Cupp theorized “The reason Palin has become such a lightening [sic] rod, a kingmaker and a punching bag, a celebrity and a power player, is simple. It's because she's so gosh darn happy.For her fans, like the ones I had the pleasure of meeting in Chicago, she's refreshingly upbeat and resilient, the bubbly friend from childhood who was always great at cheering you up and cheerleading you on. But for her detractors, nothing raises the ire of cynical liberals more than a happy-go-lucky, totally unburdened, freethinking and self-assured conservative woman who has everything she wants and then some. And without anyone's help.” Naturally, this drew protests from the lefties at the Daily Kos, who imagine themselves as the Guardians of Truth against those conservative “rubes” who can barely read (and their New York Daily News supporters). On Friday afternoon, the blogger with the handle “Zagrobelny” trashed Cupp (and her “Wonder Woman” publicity photos) for “boundless stupidity” in championing Palin: “my expectations were not disappointed, my faith in literacy and intelligence were.” Palin is apparently the enemy of all attempts at literacy and intelligence: What really raises the ire of this cynical liberal is not that Sarah Palin is happy-go-lucky, but that she happily and cynically goes around trashing people and issues held deal by liberals.
