About those right-wing lunatics at the McCain and (especially) Palin events:

X, Y, or Z percentage of them are in fact provacateurs. No estimate as to precise percentages or numbers as there is too little information to refine.

However, these appear few in number and will most likely stay that way. The reason is that the modal moonbat does not want to be anywhere near Sarah Palin or people who like her. Trying to get them to be plants is rather akin to inviting a Wahabi to a greased pig contest.

The other (alleged) lunatics are (with few exceptions) an expression of an inevitable backlash.

I hardly need to rehash the leftist hyperbole of the last 8 years. Suffice it to say that the generality of the public has been insulted to a fare-thee-well.

As if that were not enough, here comes Sarah.
She grabs center-stage by force of personality. The moonbats go ballistic.
(Wouldn’t you just love to know what both Barack and Michelle Obama say about her in private?)

Sarahs popularity is based on the accurate perception that she is just like us. So what tack does Palin Derangement Syndrome take?

SHE IS EVIL! SHE IS EVIL BECAUSE SHE IS JUST LIKE YOU. AND DER BARACK-FUEHERER WILL ELIMINATE ALL EVIL. YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED AND WE WILL ALL LIVE HAPPILY FOREVER.

That is why the backlash is becoming manifest.
