Mark Levin has had it with the institutional Republicans in the punditry class, Charles Krauthammer in particular, in regard to their endless nitpicking and attacks on Sarah Palin. Levin is asking some important questions, questions I would ask the Union Leader to which I remarked earlier on facebook today, seems to hate the woman. Every opportunity to manufacture negative press is an opportunity to fill column inches whose sole purpose is to convince people as Krauthammer seems intent on doing, that she is a dolt and unelectable, neither of which is true, but both of which put the UL in the same neighborhood as the liberal left just at a different address.
Which brings us to Mark Levin’s remarks about Krauthammer (which I’d hijack and apply to the UL and all those (r)epublican folks who have it out for her as well.)
“So what is it? What’s the problem?” he said. “She’s solid on social issues. She’s solid on fiscal issues. She’s solid against these subsidies against big companies – in other words, she is not a corporatist. She’s not a crony or a believer in that. She’s solid on taxes and spending. I’m just confused. She’s solid on Israel. She’s solid on the military. She’s solid with respect to our allies. Is there some big issue that’s disqualifying? What – because the liberals don’t like her? …
She’s solid on energy, all of it–suggesting we end all subsidies to all forms of energy and let the market do its magic, saving taxpayers billions and removing a rhetorical hammer from the hands of democrats. No one else has the balls to say stuff like that.
So is that the problem?
