Not Just Palin, They Oppose Us All

ABC News' The Note, which is apparently "Washington's most original and influential tipsheet", has a post written by Michael Falcone and Amy Walter commenting on Palin's "lashing out" and Obama unification speech (see how this works?). So while Palin is out to defend herself, Obama is working hard on his speech for the slain.

President Obama, meanwhile, was said to have worked throughout the night on the speech he is set to deliver at tonight's memorial service in Arizona, “Together We Thrive: Tucson and America.” According to ABC News’ Jake Tapper, the goal of his remarks will be to administer to those mourning, honor those impacted by the shootings -- including the victims, the heroes, and all those grieving in Tucson and beyond.

So the Media is breathlessly hoping that this will be Obama's finest hour in getting a country back to unity. Notice the next paragraph,

Now is a time for both Obama and Palin to show leadership. For Palin, the challenge is for her to decide who she wants to -- or can -- be. Does she want to be a uniter and a national leader instead of one of the country's most polarizing figures?

Of course the assumption is that Palin has divided us while Obama is working tirelessly to unite us, but darn those darn Tea Party wackos. They just won't stop dividing us. Never mind the fact that Palin is not in any political office and has not been for quite some time. Never mind the fact that she is not in an authoritative position to unite or divide. Keep in mind that all of this division has come about by the one who has done everything to divide and has the power to do so. Obama has made racist comments, forced ObamaCare when the majority clearly did not want it and used rhetoric that inflames hatred and violence against conservatives. The article goes on to say,

But she also used the address as a defense of herself and a critique of the media. Instead of trying to get beyond this controversy, Palin has put herself back in the middle of it.

See how this works? These same people blame her for what they have done and then expect her, and by virtue of her alliance with the average conservative, and the rest of us to shut up. The irony is that the Left and the Media has politicized this tragic event because that is who they are. Politics is life for them, and this is their golden opportunity to stop the political Right, Tea Party and anyone else who dares to question their authority.

Sarah Palin represents something the Media just can't seem to get (and many of my friends on the other side). While everyone criticizes her for not being smart enough or educated enough or of the right pedigree or not understanding world politics enough or whatever, it is exactly that she isn't a political Washington insider that makes her so attractive (never mind the fact she is good looking).

It is exactly all of the traits that people both on the Left and Right demand of her that the current Washington politicians supposedly possess, and yet here we are in this financial mess! This simple point is overlooked by everyone who hates her. The Tea Party wants Washington insiders that broke our system to get out of town. They broke us with their crony Capitalism. Until they get this (which I think they actually do and don't know what to do about it), they will continue to be in opposition to the American public.
