Why do Conservatives keep saying this? I don't think anyone is afraid of Palin. She's a non factor politically. When does anyone say anything about a believe she would gain power? The "attacks" are comments on her stupidity and attention whoring nature.
I don't now anyone who wouldnt be quite happy if she just disappeared into nothingness.
That's a great question, one that I've yet to see answered. Would love to hear why it is that Palin supporters view incredulous laughter as "fear."
The only fear concerning Palin I've ever seen was from sane conservatives with functioning grey matter who are horrified at the notion of someone like her representing them. Most of them are still trying to forget and distance themselves from Cheney, er Bush. They have no need for the female equivalent.
All the die-hard Dems that I know would be
thrilled to see Palin make some traction within the GOP (they've said as much repeatedly) as it would mean an easy victory for them.
Probably why the GOP leadership told her to quiet down and stick to the sidelines, lest she labeled
persona non grata and start to lose out on her appearance fees and media deals.
