Sarah Palin--The Package Looks Better But The Poison Will Make You Just As Sick


I usually try to avoid right wing propaganda. But for some reason I forced myself to listen to the St. Paul HateFest last night. If you thought Giuliani was supposed to be the creature from the black lagoon dug up to infect everyone with his poisonous venom... well that was just an appetizer for what close McCain family friend Tucker Eskew had cooked up for his little Heatherish protege from Wasilla.

The Republican convention, which was overwhelmingly male and overwhelmingly white (93%), was a horrible scene of self-righteous anger, greed and self-entitlement. It was a dark place filled with ignorance, fear, empty bravado and hatred, That came alive only when red meat dripping with blood was tossed their way. They snoozed through speeches about helping people and went apeshit when something was mentioned about cutting their taxes.

This was the worst of what America has to offer-- and they're damn proud of it. And they were just waitin' for their gal Sarah, or at least for whatever the speechwriters had put in her mouth. No one in the hall was disappointed.

And America? We'll soon see if the country embraces a message of nastiness, hatred, extremism... and abject failure... or one of hope and unity. Last night Sarah Palin and her writers made Mean Jean Schmidt seem almost moderate. Her speech was devoid of anything put political attack, almost entirely baseless attack. But whoever wrote it for knew exactly who the audience was. They ate it up-- especially the meanest and most hate-filled parts.
