Isn’t femininity itself “strong and down to earth”? Why would it be a weakness? Take a 2nd look at your reasoning, as it’s more an attack on a stereotype of men, than any real defense of Palin, IMO.

I for one am liberal and love strong women: Ani Difranco, Benazir Bhutto, Julia Butterfly Hill, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Grace O’Malley, etc…

It’s just ignorance in places of power that I don’t like, whichever gender. Also, when people have 2 faces- on one hand they try to get rid of bears, and on the other they pretend they are pro-bear–and then tweet about it for ulterior motives, for instance.

No, the “phenomenon” that’s obvious here is turning the focus around by attacking the person, not the issue. This isn’t about liberals and conservatives, sexism, or generational thinking–it’s about you not able to defend someone on their contradictary stances. Do you really beleive that she cares about bears?! That this might have ANYTHING to do with deflecting media attention? Please.

Sarah Palin is intimidating to liberal people because she is strong and down to earth and liberal people, especially men, have a femininity about them that’s inherent in liberal ideals. That’s why Ms. Palin is so hated by the left. She causes them to stare their weakness in the face. It’s a phenomenon that’s quite obvious when you study the left through the past generations.

Anchorage Daily News, last May:

…Seems like just yesterday she was trashing polar bears, now this! Wow if only I could be that stupefying combo of Obvious and Disingenuous. (I realize this ecorazzi article is about Grizzly Bears, I think, but still).

C’mon doesn’t she know we can see her idiot forest thru the PR trees?

Aside from the irony of an avid bear killer going on with wonder about how ‘bears survive, ain’t that great,’ those tweets also give insight into the intellectual maturity and outlook of Caribou Barbie.

She’s all aw-shucks about the mama bear, and she anthropomorphizes mama bear with “Don’t Touch my Cubs.” Then she praises mama bear for not seeking government handouts.

It’s a simplistic view of nature combined with a simple-minded rugged individualism. It’s like the Tweets are from a 10-year-old raised at an Idaho survivalist compound.
