Sarah Palin and the war for America's soul

This is a long read. But if you can spare about 15 minutes, it is excellent.

'"Leftists loathe Palin because she has retained something that was stripped from them years ago: a wholesomeness, a purity of heart. People on the left despise Palin because she shines a bright light on their shame and unworthiness, which they try desperately to deny."

...leftists are masters of what psychologists call projection – meaning, you literally accuse innocent people of the very faults of which you yourself are guilty. So the left, which is fueled entirely by rage and envy, accuses the tea party, which is fueled by love of country and concern over Obama's "fundamental transformation of America," of being full of "rage." If you've ever been to a tea party event, this notion is seen as laughable delusion.'
