George Will, who many Rs consider their one true "intellectual" (he wears a bow tie you know) toss SP under the bus today in his syndicated column. I'm sure we'll soon hear the "he's a RINO" and "he's not a true believer" whines from the hard right wing.
But it'll be difficult for the Rs to distance themselves from Will. He's got all the street cred they love so much; Cheerleader to tax cuts for the wealthy (why not, he's wealthy), cheerleader to the war in Iraq (he knew he wasn't going), global warming denier (of course he has to INTENTIONALLY MISQUOTE from NASA to make his points (but misquoting is what Fox News does best so he's in good company there).
Ah, another bloodletting coming from the right this week. And to top it off we've got CPAC this weekend. And who are CPAC's *Stars*? Why none other than THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY and Glenn Beck. Boy, you righties sure know how to pick your sponsors, stars and headliners. Birthers, truthers, leftover conspiracy nuts from the '50s (JBS estimates of Communists in the US government made "tailgunner Joe" (McCarthy's) estimates look puny), religious nuts, and a "populist" (easy to be a "populist" when you're raking in millions advocating anti-populism) DRUGGIE.
I guess this is what Rs mean when they say they want a "big tent".

I predict that the Palinistas will ignore this, just as the Rs ignore the fact that they are supported by the JBS. They don't seem to have any interest in looking behind the curtain or under the rug.
Sigh. What is it with the reading comprehension skills of liberals? Of course George Will says no such thing. In a neat column -- I only had to pull the dictionary once! - vituperation? -- he believes Palin won't be the Rep nominee and can not win as "populism has not won a national election in 178 years."
"She is feisty and public-spirited, and millions of people vibrate like tuning forks to her rhetoric. When she was suddenly forced to take a walk on the highest wire in America's political circus, she showed grit. . . . She has been subjected to such irrational vituperation -- loathing largely born of snobbery. . . ."
But the best line: "America, its luck exhausted, at last has a president from the academic culture, that grating blend of knowingness and unrealism." An opinion the OP leaves out.

Um... I see no quote with him tossing her under the bus.
What I do see is a very very partisan hack utilizing some "cirucmstance" you heard about as an effort to create a flame post slandering conservatives using cheap stereotypes and semantics.

It seems that like Will you feel that the "rebukes, criticism and berating" or Palin was undeserved, therefor it was "born or snobbery". Hardly, most people that I know turned strongly against her for her lies, her shadings of truth, her firm belief in fables like "creationism" and other silliness she engaged in.
I guess in your book only conservatives can voice a "rational" criticism against her. Anyone else is engaging "loathing born or snobbery".
Sorry to hear that you had to get out a dictionary to look up "vituperation". Maybe Will should have as well since he chose to use the connotation that it's always negative. It's not.

Why are you critiizing George Will in this way?
Quote:

"Heard about"? FTW are you talking about? Are you saying Will didn't write his column?

Absolutely the funniest post I've read from a rightie in a long time. Have you never read any of the carp posted on here by the "usual suspects" on the right? That's where you get your real "cheap stereotypes". BTW, can you point to a stereotype that I used? Do you know the meaning of the word "semantics".
The rigties on here, the "volunteers" not just the paid posters seem to have come completely unhinged from reality.
