Whose? Well, that depends.
The Palin-haters are in full-throated howl with innuendo as the main course, thoroughly seasoned with their insane preconceived notions of what kind of person could possibly (1) live in Alaska and (2) be a conservative Republican. Just check out the comments here for a small sampling, scattered in a long (and growing) thread. They’re so far out there that their candidate is begging them to spin it down a few thousand RPMs. (h/t SBP at the Protein Wisdom Pub.)
They won’t listen.
Sarah Palin threatens everything these people have told themselves about themselves, and there is no depth to which they will not sink to preserve it. An ultimate descent into madness would be inevitable, had they not already sunk deeply into that pit long ago with their “stolen election” fantasies and their “Bush let 9/11 happen” nightmares.
Undoubtedly they’re hoping to stampede Sen. McCain into throwing Palin under the wheels of his campaign bus, but he can neither do so, nor accept an offer by Palin to let her do it herself. And there’s no reason why he should.
The question is whether he realizes it.
Update: Anyway, I’m supposed to be concentrating on my real writing. So, to all of those vile creatures out there who have no moral qualms about raining character assassination down on a 17-year-old girl just because her mother happens to be a successful and popular Republican who has accomplished more in two years as governor of Alaska than Barack Obama and Joe Biden have in all their combined years in the U.S. Senate: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
