Americans have been taught to despise her.
The title of this post kind of says it all. Its from a review of The Undefeated by Howard Towt of Anti-Republican Culture. While he provides a mixed review for the film here is the money shot:
The film is inspirational, but my wife was completely put off by the whole experience. She sees Governor Palin as opportunistic and calculating, and thinks the governor is using politics as a “get rich quick” scheme. She believes Mrs. Palin is an inadequate mother to her children, and is a person who plays to a base of religious fundamentalists. Her take is that Sarah Palin as an affront to sensible women everywhere.
My wife is a testament to the power of our American culture. In a few short months, our culture has fashioned an extreme caricature of a female political figure, and has made it believable. Just three years ago, very few people outside of Alaska knew who Sarah Palin was. Now, a large number of Americans have been taught to despise her.
In case anyone missed their mandatory two minutes hate session for Sarah Palin, here is Bill Maher making sure that you know who the enemy is.
