William A. Jacobson over at the Legal Insurrection blog speculated earlier this week about “The Obsession With Liberals’ Obsession With Sarah Palin”:
Charles Krauthammer has lambasted the mainstream (i.e. liberal) media for its obsession with Sarah Palin.
That goes double for liberal entertainers and academics, and triple for the left-blogosphere, which is nuts-in-the-head (that’s a precise medical term in Austrian) when it comes to Palin.
AdvertisementBut this obsession is not a one-way street.
Admit it, many of us in the right-blogosphere are obsessed with liberals’ obsession with Palin.
…It didn’t start out this way. But it has developed not because of who Palin is, but who the Palin haters are.
And yes, it is liberals, much more than even conservatives, who can’t stop thinking about her; consider the numerous polls over the last year which show Palin unable to muster a majority even among Republican voters, much less the general electorate, and yet the liberal-leaning media gives Palin more ink than any other figure in America except possibly the president himself.
All sorts of theories are proffered to explain this preoccupation. Just this morning the Washington Post‘s Jennifer Rubin spelled out the standard theory — that the “obsession” must be a ruse to elevate an unelectable candidate:
Much of the punditocracy is obsessed with Sarah Palin. It’s understandable on several levels. First, she makes for good copy and has a knack for coining catchy phrases (“death panels”) and new words (“refudiate” — it’s now in the dictionary). She is controversial and opinionated, so given the choice between, say, a story on John Thune and one on Palin, it’s a no-brainer to choose the best-selling author, TV reality show star and Tea Party darling. But conservatives suspect there’s also some mischief-making afoot — the desire by liberal-leaning members of the media and the White House to make Palin the symbol of the Republican Party, which they are convinced will translate into her presidential run, her nomination and a shellacking for the GOP at the polls in 2012.
While that theory might describe the goal of a few elite members of the Sarcastic Class, it’s fairly evident that most leftists truly do fear a Palin nomination, since they feel that none of the other current GOP hopefuls has much of a chance in 2012.
But what else could explain the liberal obsession with Palin? Everybody’s got their own ideas: Palin’s a Jungian archetype; she’s a Riot Grrrl; she evokes “status-anxiety”; every day produces another theory. How long before “Palin Studies” becomes a college major?

| Sarah Palin at the Belmont Stakes in June |
But really, everyone knows the real answer: it’s all about sex. I had once planned to make a post about this too-obvious thesis, but then I saw that Harper’s Magazine had a cover story called “Is Sarah Palin porn?” back in June, and so I shelved my idea, since someone had beaten me to it.
But then yesterday I finally got around to actually reading the Harper’s story and discovered to my shock that it’s not about porn or sex at all — that was just a catchy headline for an otherwise standard-issue leftist essay about how awful Sarah Palin is.
I guess it’s up to me, then, since no one else is willing to come out and say it.
Why are liberals obsessed with Sarah Palin?
Because she is their dominatrix.
I posit that American liberal men are, as a group, masochists in search of a sadist. Sarah Palin at first walked into the dominant role completely unwittingly, but once she grasped the erotic control she wielded over her opponents, she became not quite as unwitting about it as some may think.
Sexual kinks are a peculiar thing: they often make no logical sense to an outsider who does not share the fetish. How can liberals denounce Sarah Palin as a Nazi and a bitch and an idiot yet simultaneously harbor a masturbatory fascination with her?
There is a one-word answer: Ilsa. Actually, make that six words: Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. If that doesn’t ring a bell, it’s the title of a pornographic exploitation film from the mid-’70s about a sadistic female Nazi officer who tortures and rapes concentration camp victims. If you’re familiar with the sexual subculture, you already know that this cult film is a favorite with masochists who require a cruel dominatrix (or at least the fantasy of a cruel dominatrix) for them to achieve sexual release. If you’re not familiar with the subculture of fetishes and sadomasochistic sex games, then you likely will find the whole Ilsa/Nazi/dominatrix thing completely mystifying and more than a little “sick.”
But it doesn’t matter that “normal” people don’t understand: this psycho-sexual pathology plays out right before their eyes every day, whether they’re aware of it or not.
To make it all clear for everybody, I have taken the original lobby poster for Ilsa and updated it to explain contemporary American politics:
(Click on the image or here to view it full-size.)
Do the liberals fear Sarah Palin? Yes. And that fear is the basis of their sexual attraction to her. They want — nay, need — to be dominated, not only because they are masochists, but also because it helps them adopt the morally superior underdog role in the battle of ideas.
Sarah Palin was dragged from obscurity into someone else’s sexual fantasy. She didn’t intend to become the liberals’ dominatrix: she was elevated to that position by submissives who finally found their perfect mistress. She was caught off-guard at first, angry and offended, but by now I think she understands, maybe even subconsciously, that she can use this role to her advantage. Liberals need someone to crack that whip? Crack! Do as Sarah says!
I posit that American liberal men are, as a group, masochists in search of a sadist.
By Geoarge, I do believe you’ve got it! You’ve got the Vulcan mind-meld essence of what animates the core of what passes for most moderm liberals’ world-view. Paul Berman touched on this in his work, Terror and Liberalism. It’s the corollary of the will to power: the desire to submit.
Breathtaking, isn’t it? A cult of submission and death indeed. It’s what drives the wishful thinkers, serial nihilists and the coercive utopians among the Left to applaud and elevate into positions of absolute power the very ones who later demand their ultimate sacrifice in some dank basement. We see perfect examples that mentality among the current crop of troll posters here at PJM. They’ll be along shortly to make the case.
“a cult of submission and death”
Well, that could explain the weird affection of the Left for ISLAM. The Islamists certainly WILL kill all the feminists, gays, atheists and communists “in some dank basement” if they conquer us.
Hey zombie, do you have a high resololution version of the pic of Sarah? I want to study that secret service guy behind her for nervous tics.
You mean the one of her at the Belmont stakes? Sorry, that’s the highest-resolution one I could find.
When those photos of her at Belmont were published, a new “Sarah Palin Conspiracy Theory” instantly arose on the Left — that she must have had a boob job. Because, reasoned the adolescent lefties in their dark basements, those boobs are so very large, and bouncy, and “Mom could you promise not to bother me for the next half hour or so I’ve got something important to do?”, and no way could a 46-year mother of five have such delicious, perky…”Mom I’m locking the door OK?”
The liberals didn’t really believe the boob job theory, of course. They just wanted an excuse to stare at that picture for as long as possible without admitting as to why.
Sounds like someone is projecting.
Typical liberal argumentation technique.
Step 1: Commit malfeasance or faux pas.
Step 2: Someone points out your malfeasance or faux pas.
Step 3: Cover up your embarrassment by saying “Sounds like someone is projecting.”
It’s the adult version of “I know you are but what am I?”
Game, set and match. Nicely done.
… which is rather amazing, because “adult” is so rarely a word you can use to describe them.
Thank you for being a fellow native San Franciscan. Wish I could give Gavin and Kamala a walking tour of the city (doesn’t deserve a big “C” anymore) before they give the State their treatment.
Who needs an excuse?
You’re an animal!
You know, people tell me that all the time.
She didn’t have a boob-job, she’s just got a really, really good bra. And good genes, lol.
Could it be that the dark cellar of liberal angst is the ultimate fear of a beautiful woman, bright, eloquent and photogenic that enunciates Constitutional principles and conservative values that… gasp… possesses an outstanding rack as well?
Referring to Prof. Limbaugh’s doctrine, Woman’s Liberation was an outlet for homely woman to participate in the national dialogue and that politicians were attractive people that lacked talent to be movie stars but were glib showboats anyway.
Liberals fear Palin because she exposes the fact that Liberals are faking it. The posturing and pontificating by John Kerry, the preening of a John Edwards, the botox death mask of Pelosi, and the poor hair plugs on Joe Biden’s empty head and the serial prevarications of Obama are some of the reasons there will be 63 fewer Democrats in the House in a few weeks.
Sarah would have no problem working the self check out scanner at Wal-Mart. That’s why people who work for a living, who don’t buy into to “redistribution” of their shrinking wealth, accept Sarah as help lead the parade. She is not “uber fuerher” or Chicago’s “boss of bosses”. She’s the real deal, and it drives Liberals out of their skills.
I look at that picture of Sarah at the Belmont Stakes and try to grasp…
Never mind.
As a member of the dwindling numbers in the private sector with a larger percentage of my hours worked going to higher taxes I really truly hope they fear her. Unfortunately she can’t do what is needed and that is knock some sense in to them. Dream Act, Start, Cap and Trade, who are they kidding? They screwed up Stimulus, Health Care and Financial Reform with no remorse. My wish for the Palin family is they strongly influence the body politic and in the process make enough money to bring their lifestyles up to the level of the Reid, Pelosi and Boxer families. The big difference is the money her family earns will not be money that is taken away by the IRS for their private jet celebrity status lifestyles.
My theory why they’re scared of Palin:
http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.270towin.com%2F%3Fsms_ss%3Dgoogle%26at_xt%3D4cf7f34a92011586%2C0&sa=D&usg=AFQjCNHjhZLuobvljibd9o8Cf03-Wo6L_A
Conservatives also fear her and many, especially female bloggers, pundits and writers, say nasty things about her. So, are they masochists also looking for a sadist? I must be stupid like Sarah Palin because I just thought that libs fear her because they hate capitalism, the Constitution and the American Dream and she is the symbol of all three.
This “normal” person just sees that we have a Marxist in office and somehow this woman emerged as his nemesis. She is not afraid to say what the RINO’s should be saying – while she was signing books in Des Moines this past week people in line said that they didn’t want the Harvard Ivy Leaguers ruling class telling them what to do anymore, that Palin believes in American values and they relate to her. So sex, Ilsa, Nazis S&M -whatever-most of us just see her as someone who has aspired to the Dream and succeeded and most importantly, does not look down her nose at those of us still aspiring-when she takes the insults we relate to that, we’ve been insulted by the ruling class as well.
BTW – I think this piece is elitist.
You’re missing the point.
This post is not about why CONSERVATIVES or why “normal Americans” like her (or dislike her). The reasons for her popularity among conservatives are already well-known.
Nor is it about why liberals fear or hate her. That’s pretty much well-known as well.
I’m instead musing about why liberals (not conservatives) and completely obsessed with her and can’t stop discussing, thinking about, visualizing and publicizing her. It goes way beyond simply that they dislike her political views. There are plenty of other conservative politicians and pundits who are much more “extreme” than her, yet they get pretty much ignored and muzzled.
Yes, you are correct, the libs hate her and fear her because they hate capitalism, which she represents; but why has that hate transmogrified into a personalized sexual obsession?
And lastly: It’s a Photoshop, people. Satire. Lighten up.
Excellent analysis as usual, Zombie.
P.S. Thank you for all your spot-on photo-journalism over the years. In a just USA you would be a Kennedy Center Honor Awardee.
“the libs hate her and fear her because they hate capitalism, which she represents”
Sarah Palin represents capitalism? Really? She’s banking on her fame, but she’s never even run a successful business.
I think your “Palin = capitalism” fantasy is even weirder than your “Palin = SS dominatrix” imagery…
“She’s banking on her fame, but she’s never even run a successful business.”
Except for the one she and her husband ran for SEVERAL YEARS!
You really should think about changing where you get your information–then you wouldn’t look so damn ignorant in front of everyone.
Ignorant leftards never let facts get in the way of a good narrative, you know. Lord knows they prove that right every day here at PJM. Idiots like Aaron and non-sensey never quite get that we’re not laughing with them. We’re laughing at them.
AF–Vet couldn’t have said it better. so well put, there are so many other IDIOTS like him who only watch the lame stream media for their MISSINFORMATION,
Are you talking about her 20% ownership in a car wash? The one that got shut down by her own state government while she was governor???
She’s not a capitalist, folks. You’re living in a dream world if you think she is.
Ahhhh…..Aaron doubles down on his stupidity!
“Are you talking about her 20% ownership in a car wash?”
I am, of course, speaking of the successful Fishing Company she and her husband owned for many years and are passing down to their son.
You’re welcome.
Idiot.
Not only did they run Todd’s family fishing business, but they also ran an all-terrain vehicle (or maybe just snow machines) dealership. I got to see her speak at a local chamber of commerce dinner. I wasn’t just watching her when she was giving the speech, but also beforehand, when the chamber officers gave their annual report, showed a video presentation about the most successful area businesses, introduced local business leaders, etc. I watched the way she talked and interacted with local people. I saw the way she worked things about our local economic dynamics (that she’d just learned half an hour earlier) into her speech, and shared insights and drew connections between our local issues and broader patterns. The woman UNDERSTANDS–and loves–business and entrepreneurship.
Aaron are you really that STUPID?
They had a snowmobile dealership too.
The HuffPo STILL has a separate link for Sarah Palin on their homepage. I’d say that qualifies as obsessed.
Cath,
No really, It fits like a glove
Heres another test:
Read some of Ellen Dwarkins many negative takes on SOOO many famous, iconic, lucious female images….read how angry and upsetting and demeaning they were to her…
Then look at a PICTURE of Ellen Dwarkin
(if you can stand it…a train wreck in a sausage factory if there ever was one)
Remember that she was a lesbian, stir slowly and….
You’ll see the “hate” she spewed at the Vargas Girls was actually a dreamy, angry, unrequited lust for them, and a deep dispair that she’d never BE one of them herself.
Liberal women HATE Sarah because she IS SO HOT, physically, intellectually, topically…and they’re SO NOT
Attached at the hip as they are to that Prince with yesterdays style, they realize they THOUGHT the bought the prettiest prom dress in the room, and being seen it with dreamboat nearby would get them noticed …
Only to find its a casual garden party….Fit, confident people, toned legs, classic shorts and polos, no jewelry, no labels, no valet parking…
And now they’re completely marginalized, because they expected something else, and in their “attire” they simply just cant mingle without looking foolish….
SO they EXPLODE in rage, seething and hissing that that slut has fake tits, and braines.
Its a total girl thing.
I believe you are referring to Andrea Dworkin, not “Ellen Dwarkin.”
But yes, you’re right about the “train wreck in a sausage factory” part.
O.K. Zombie, I was working late and took a few minutes to catch up on PJMedia. Read your story, which by the way, I agree with wholeheartedly. Liberal men DO need a dominatrix to lead them around by their – never mind.
Anyway, clicked on your link to Andrea Dworkin. Now, I cannot go to sleep for fear I might have nightmares. If there was ever a total opposite to Sarah Palin, Dworkin fits the bill perfectly. However, I do think sausage looks better when it is being prepared than Dworkin in her Sunday best. Yes Virginia, Jabba the Hut is based on a real live person.
Thanks,
youre right on the first name, my bad.
Cant imagine why I associated then name “ellen” with unattractive left winger that digs girls
Can you?
First, Zombie, you’re welcome.
Second, the picture, the poster, the dominatrix didn’t come from some leftist or liberal. It came from you. You, in fact, ” . . . dragged (her) from obscurity into someone else’s sexual fantasy”
Don’t get me wrong, she’s a fine piece of chicken. But that doesn’t mean I want to pay her money to put me in a diaper. I’ll leave that to David Vitter.
BTW: You might want to laminate the picture before you send it to proreason. I’m just sayin.
“…the poster, the dominatrix didn’t come from some leftist or liberal. It came from you….”
Would you like me to post links to the 100,000 different sexualized Palin Photoshops created by leftists over the last two years?
It’s not like I invented the concept of sexualizing Sarah Palin. I simply noted how the Left endlessly fantasizes about her sexually, so created what I think is a more accurate representation of their fantasies.
Start with this:
Google Image Search for “Palin Photoshop”
(NSFW)
After you’ve scrolled through the first 30 pages of mostly pornographic images (out of “About 845,000 results”) almost all of which were created by liberal opponents of Palin, get back to me about how I dragged her into someone else’s sexual fantasy.
With respect to my last comment in post #1 – that didn’t take long, did it?
These half-wit lefty intellectual poseurs should always remember – we’re not laughing with them. We’re laughing at them.
You got moderators? Time to tell the troll(s) to move to Roger Simon’s blog. Imagine how he’d rebut them!
a better suggestion to prove ZOMBIe’s point—is put PALIN NAzi into the google image search-
Yes, please, post those 100,000. It’d be a shame to let your collection go to waste.
And no, it’s not like you invented the concept of sexualizing Palin. People did that on their own. Just like you did this on your own. That’s what onanists do.
And where’s my thank you? CRACK! Do as Sensei says.
Thaaaaat’s better.
No kidding.
“That’s what onanists do.”
Heh. I’ll defer to your expertise on this as the self-love in your numerous postings makes manifest.
Appears the trolls (or is it really just the one?) are cashing Soros’ checks again!

No doubt the Funhouse Mirror will provide The Diaper. A used and discarded Diaper.
Will The Diaper fit over the Kick Me sign riveted to your ass (Clang! Splat!), or is there a super secret method of using The Diaper as a bonnet?
Will The Diaper be green, so as to gain approval from Van Jones? Does The Diaper have multicultural content? Once The Diaper is properly addressed, with it go on display in the Smithsonian?
Do you need to contact an agent to sell the rights to The Diaper Daze of a Liar and Its Love? Does Dave get a cut of the action? Does any footage of the Blue Boat 5 on 2 exist? Great for the ad campaign.

Dec 5, 2009 – 7:03 am
Whatever.
Do you have a preference for a gender or a particular type of animal or inanimate object, sensei?
Just asking.
As for Sarah, she’s already my background wallpaper. I put a little timer on her so she kind of, you know, bounces. Now I’m thinkin about getting a bigger monitor.
Zombie, you may be onto something, but I see it a little differently.
To liberals, a successful politician:
1. Is a lawyer
2. Graduated from an Ivy league school
3. Has a photogenic and image-enhancing family
4. Has a “faith-tradition”, but no actual faith
5. Can read funny lines, but isn’t actually witty
6. Is completely dedicated to “public service”
If a woman tries to run for office without all these attributes, she should at least have the courtesy to be liberal.
Along comes Sarah Palin (or Linda McMahon, or Christine O’Donnell). They don’t meet the criteria listed above, and they aren’t appropriately liberal, so liberals just don’t know what to do. Everyone knows that when Sarah was named VP nominee, the media blitzed Alaska. I don’t think all of that was designed to dig up dirt. Some of it was simply liberal media types who just had no idea of what to say about Sarah. They are incapable of any original thought so they spent the entire campaign, and every day since, trying to figure out how to shove Sarah into some category they already understand.
That does not explain why they are so fascinated by her.
Yes it does- cognitive dissonance. Everything about her contradicts their worldview, so they are obsessed with proving she is not what she appears to be, and then they’re confounded that not only do they not find any juicy dirt, what little they can come up with is embraced by her base rather than rejected.
I look at Sarah and I see an adult. I see womanhood/what it should be. I see the iconic Mother, the Nurturer. You skin your knee. Mom takes care of it. The bully takes advantage of you and Mom, like Ralphie’s mother in Christmas Story, comes along and makes everything right, comforts you, gives you a glass of milk. She takes on the gym teacher, the mean principal, the PTA for you. The liberals drive the car to the brink of the cliff, Sarah drives up in her 2 ton pickup with the PTO winch on the front and pulls the car back on the road. You go back to the cabin for venison stew.
(Freaking h*ll you say, Ilsa?! What’s with people?!)
Now Bonny, don’t be too hard on Mister Zombie. He’s only trying to point out how awful people are who sexualize our dear Sarah. Unlike you and me, who want only the best for our country and the women who make it great, he has a different mission. He wants to make sure that no one escapes the nasty images those mean liberals have created. It’s a patriot’s task, one that he is willing to embrace.
Who else is willing to scroll through and catalog hundreds of thousands of images of sweet Sarah in various kinky sexual situations? Who else is willing to pay forward their knowledge of ’70s porn for the benefit of the Tea Party? Who else is willing to stay up all night finely crafting the sado-maschistic image and tale of Sarah: She Wolf of the GOP? Zombie, that’s who. He deserves our support.
Get with it, Your Sensei. “Bonny” is an adjective (you might need to look that up), not the poster’s name.
“Bonny” means “pleasing to the eye; blithe; beautiful . . .” So, when you address “Bonny Kate” as “Bonny”, it’s like addressing “the beautiful Mrs. Palin” as “Beautiful”!
This grade school, grammatical slip up certainly doesn’t enhance your already compromised reputation here.
Thats MASTER zombie to you, troll

I had a theory during the campaign that she was the embodiment of the literary Venus theme – sexually fertile, motherly, humorous, and second in order to Jupiter (though McCain is more of a Saturnine than Jovial figure).

Meh. I’ve also seen bad photoshop jobs of Pelosi in a dominatrix outfit and ball-gag.
Yuck. The ugliness is definitely bi-partisan.
i believe you are right.
Clearly conservatives have a fetish for black men playing with their feet
Based on what? I’ve heard the expression “not fit to shine shoes” for decades, without sexual or racial context.
YOU’RE the one inserting race and sex into it… don’t project your fetishes onto me.
They want — nay, need — to be dominated, not only because they are masochists, but also because it helps them adopt the morally superior underdog role in the battle of ideas.
Bingo! Why was the Bush administration constantly compared to the Third Reich? Lefties don’t feel right unless they can somehow consider themselves oppressed.
Bingo is right!

No. One can understand what the Born Liar sleazits Persons Galore might not be able to discern a Kick Me sign Diaper Splat smell. Living in a Modern Liberal Cesspool with raw sewage will have that effect.
Does David have you credit card info? Maybe Persons Galore should use PayPal. It’s anonymous. You know “you people” might find out about The Diaper.
There must be quite a stock of used and discarded Diapers in the Cesspool warehouse. Say, in your collection, do you have the Hope and Change two year anniversary model? Mmm, mmm, mmm.

I think it is just an example of crowd psychology, which is very different from individual psychology and not nearly as much studied. But this sort of obsession isn’t unusual in history, indeed, I think it is rather common. Look at the rise of various religions, the mass murders carried out for various religious/ideological reasons, the worship of political figure heads. The list goes on forever. And all these things look irrational on the individual level.

Bravo Zombie! Your Palin-fantasy bait has fetched up a whole season’s bag limit of depraved comments in one afternoon, and the hits just keep coming. What a zoo…
Zombie knew it was going to happen. Our trolls couldn’t resist the urge to open their fat mouths, and have been successfully countertrolled.
I have often thought that certain male members of the left “Doth protest too much” when it comes to their Palin obsession. I don’t know if I go as far as the dominatrix idea, but hey,
Dude, that Belmont pic is smokin’ hot! Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the governor that sexy.
I think the Left in England have had the same relationship to Margaret Thatcher. Claire Berlinski’s wonderful book on her says much about how attractive she appeared to various men in power. But she was indeed often depicted as a dominatrix wielding the whip. There’s a good-humored anecdote that the once farther-Left Christopher Hitchens recalls about his meeting with her in this regard: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-06-09/entertainment/ct-live-0609-hitchens-pr-20100609_1_memoir-christopher-hitchens-printers-row-lit-fest
Hmmm, most of those photoshops actually reduce her bust. How odd.
What’s the difference between a Sadist and Masochist?
The Masochist whines, ” Beat me! Beat Me!”
and the Sadist leers and growls ” Noo-ooo-oo!”
I was at the Belmont Stakes one year when Hillary showed up. She got resoundingly booed. I’m guessing Sarah was the belle of the ball. Kudos to her staff for figuring she should go to it, one of the few friendly venues for her type in the NYC area.
Hey, maybe someone in a previous post said this, but it may not be isolated to male liberals. There may be a few female liberals who hate her as much as they may desire to be spanked by her (as long as she is wearing spiked heels and something to do with “fishnets”…
Funny stuff, Zombie.
Of course, the truth is, that hate is an obsession. The same thing applies to us on the right. Many of us hate Obama, and so pick at everything. The difference being, of course, that he is our President, and so, affects our lives. If the Left would ignore Palin, she wouldn’t have such power today. “I don’t care what you say about my client; just spell her name right!”
That Hitt piece is ignorant of her entire record, yet another publication that has gone totally moonbat. It is her challenging the powers that be, in her own state, that Bill Dyer brought to our attention. She’s very informal like in that early pick, more at home
fishing, hunting, than in a tailored suit.
Hmmm, if your thesis is true, zombie, Sarah Palin will be around in the MSM for some time, whether she furthers her career in national politics or not. Oh hell, let’s be nice to the liberals and make her prez.
You mean like you make mccain president?
I think you actually have to hold an election before you can make somebody president. And queen sarah might actually have to turn up at a debate, or talk to the media and answer questions and stuff. That alone will be worth the price of entry.
But sure. I take the bait. Make sarah president. I’ll be sitting over here on my nice, sensible island laughing myself silly at what happens next. Bush didn’t have a clue either – he thought he could just pick people to do the hard stuff. “I don’t read books”, he said “I read people”. Well … it turns out he wasn’t very good at that either.
‘queen sarah might actually have to turn up at a debate, or talk to the media and answer questions and stuff.’
Wrong. She has to answer the questions posed by the electorate, not the media. She learned that lesson in 2008. Now she’s answering the questions masterfully while deftly bypassing the MSM. Nor does she have to debate on the MSM’s terms. She has been debating Obama for almost a year now.
You been asleep for the last year? The MSM is no longer controlling the Palin narrative. Palin is. And anyone paying attention knows that goes for Fox too, just in case you want to go there.
But … she isn’t answering questions. That’s the point.
She is answering the questions that the electorate has, Matthew, by repeatedly stating, restating, and reinforcing the political philosophy, and therefore policies, that she endorses. That is not being presented honestly by a media that has created and now is rather desperately maintaining a narrative that doesn’t now and never did define her. That is no different from my memories of Reagan’s treatment by the media in the 70′s.
But like Reagan in the 70′s, the facts are out there for people who don’t want a dishonest distillation of information. And the internet makes it easier now to get those facts. Increasing numbers of people are rejecting the talking heads’ focus on the distorted superficials that his or her politics drives them to present as defining Palin and conservatives. That is what the 2010 election results indicated. Ever increasing number of voters aren’t going to trust the MSM after the free ride they gave Obama and the generational problems that have resulted.
You may not like the answers. That’s a different matter. But if you believe that Palin is not answering the important questions, you aren’t going through the effort to find out what she is really saying and are instead depending on the narrative the intervening distortion of media filtering is feeding you.
In which case you should just assign Ed Schultz or Andrew Sullivan your vote and let them cast it for you.
“and therefore policies”
And what are they? A direct answer would make this go a lot quicker.
‘What are they’
Once again I’ll ask you…where have you been for the last year? Educate yourself. Check her website.
You can’t even name one policy?
You can’t check the website? Someone has to do it for you?
Yet without making that effort, you’re willing to claim Palin doesn’t answer questions, doesn’t articulate what policies she supports because she will not do so through the media.
Don’t get me wrong. I do not at this time consider her a viable republican nominee or are remotely convinced that she’ll run in 2012, but then again, I’m not a republican so I won’t have any say in that process. If she does make it to the general election, I would certainly support her over Obama.
In your case, once again, simply assign your vote to Andrew Sullivan and let him cast it. His obsession over Palin’s uterus alone appears to make him better informed about the type and the role of government that she advocates than you seem to be.
“You can’t check the website? Someone has to do it for you?”
I guess it depends on which website you consider to be “hers”, but I haven’t been able to find any sort of forward-looking statement on intentions on any site affiliated with sarah palin. She loves criticizing the positions of others and issuing motherhood statements, but I’m at a loss to see what she claims that she will actually do if she is elected.
That’s why I’m asking you. You’ve rebuffed the question twice. Are you sure if YOU’VE checked her web site?
“His obsession over Palin’s uterus alone appears to make him better informed about the type and the role of government that she advocates than you seem to be.”
And you, apparently.
See, this is actually a serious question. I don’t think anyone here has a clear, evidence-based expectation of what sarah palin would do if she was elected. Not a clue. She’s been very good at the “style” and “image” side of her campaign, but she’s presenting a very small target on the substance. Her image is so carefully scripted and managed that you really have no idea what she’s actually like as a person anyway. And that seems to be the entirety of the basis for her support.
And when the very rare response to my question DOES appear (twice now, from the same person), it’s based on a bunch of factually wrong beliefs about her past record. There could be an entire section of snopes dedicated simply to debunking the things that conservatives believe about sarah palin (and, to be fair, what liberals believe as well).
That’s why I’m asking, and I’ll keep asking. And you guys will keep not answering. And I will tell all my “lefty” mates about that, and they will be astonished.
I think you’re overthinking this a bit. Your own obsession with palin verges on the freudian – liberals just don’t want her anywhere near the levers of power because of what she might do.
To the extend that some liberals are obsessed with palin, it’s because she appears to have so much support among the more hard-right conservatives. She also pretty obviously appeals to christian conservatives, who will never have the trust of “liberals” as long as their answer to questions about roe v wade consist of “it’s a states’ rights issue”.
Palin attracts the ire of lefties for exactly the same reason beck does. The very same people who hate palin hate glenn beck. The same people who write about palin write about glenn beck. Are you going to try claiming some sort of psycho-sexual justification for that too?
If I were to channel your stereotypical liberal, I would say they’re obsessed with palin and beck because (a) they appear to be very influential – boosted by vast quantities of Fox pandering, (b) they appear to be extremely dishonest and (c) they appear to be likely to be very destructive to liberty and freedom if they ever get any real power. That’s the alpha and omega, guys. Anything else is just you lot projecting.
You don’t want Palin in power “because of what she might do”, yet you put Obama in the White House and Joe “Moron” Biden as his immediate successor?
I doubt you have any actual idea what Palin would do; you’re just reflexively hating her because of the caricature you’ve been given. You’re such a bigot you’ve never bothered to actually look at her record.

“You don’t want Palin in power “because of what she might do”, yet you put Obama in the White House and Joe “Moron” Biden as his immediate successor?”
I didn’t put anyone in the whitehouse. But I certainly WOULD have put obama in – precisely because of what he said he’d do. A fair chunk of which, incidentally, he has actually done.
“I doubt you have any actual idea what Palin would do;”
Actually, there’s some irony in that statement. A couple of weeks ago, I spent several days on a couple of threads here asking palin supporters to nominate one thing they expected that she would do if elected president. Call it a policy, call it an expectation, whatever you like. I didn’t get a single answer. Not one. My initial point was to demonstrate that her supporters were entirely motivated by her image – of course, you’d call that her “character”. I was quite taken-aback at the complete absence of responses, though. I DID get responses saying why it was unfair to ask, or why she wouldn’t be telling anyone yet – but none of those people seemed to understand that they were simply proving my point.
Everybody has to assume, to some extent, what palin would do if elected. That’s because she’s not saying. I look at her record and her public statements and I see somebody whose public pronouncements are inconsistent with her record, simplistic and dishonest. I see somebody who knows her real support comes from evangelical christians who will want their pound of flesh (metaphor picked more carefully than you’ll suspect). I think her understanding of public finance and its impact on economics leaves a lot to be desires, and her knowledge of recent significant US events is just plain wrong.
“you’re just reflexively hating her because of the caricature you’ve been given. You’re such a bigot you’ve never bothered to actually look at her record.”
Ok. So what do YOU think palin will do, and what evidence do you have? See if you can succeed where others have failed.
“Your own obsession with palin verges on the freudian…
… Anything else is just you lot projecting.”
Amazing how they simply can’t stop resorting to the “You’re just projecting” argument. I guess they got nothin’ else.
because they repeat what their therapists tell them on commentary sections of blogs
Zombie – that’s a joke, right?
You guys (wingnuts) generate endless articles on why liberals can’t stand palin. All of those articles, by some mysterious coincidence, focus on some deep-seated weakness or failing of liberals. Who’d have thought? I point out that you’re making stuff up and you have the chutzpah to say “that’s all you’ve got”?
I think I have a more reasoned and straightforward reason why some liberals are obsessed with palin. You ignored it and responded with an irrelevance. Is that all YOU’VE got?
I would say that liberals have less to answer for here than the right. You guys have found a way to ogle a girl with decent tits and call it patriotism. That’s not the left’s problem. The left wants to know about her policies. See my previous post.
Tits? Obviously the moderators have been laid off. So here goes George Carlin’s dirty words:
* Shit
* Piss
* Fuck
* Cunt
* Cocksucker
* Motherfucker
* Tits
Does the FCC regulate blogs?
(c) they appear to be likely to be very destructive to liberty and freedom if they ever get any real power.
Now there’s an interesting assertion. Orwellian, really, in its inversion of reality and in light of the history of the last 150 years or so. Care to expand on that piece of logic, Matty? Because right now, it’s a bad check you’re trying to palm off on us. Better back it up with something, er, substantial if you want to stay in the game here.
You decry that it’s an outrage to site “it’s a states’ rights issue” and then say “they appear to be likely to be very destructive to liberty and freedom if they ever get any real power”
Nice cognitive dissonance there. It’s ok for liberals to demand through unlegislated Judicial fiat that states can’t make decisions about abortions, but then you lecture that someone might be a danger freedom. Yeah, might want to rethink that. Then again, forget it, you’ll come to the same conclusion forever, because liberalism is a logic deficiency. Restrictions of freedoms is ok when the restrictor has a ‘D’ behind their name, but not when they have an ‘R’.
I think what you meant to say was, how destructive they would be to centralized planning if they ever got any real power. That scares a liberal worse than anything.
When I started recommending Sarah Palin within GOP Party circles in the spring of 2008 as the very best Vice President it was because of her work to improve America’s energy situation. Her technocrat ability to negotiate with the Canadians and to clean up the Alaska GOP all had impressed me. The idea that she would shatter the psycho sexual orientation of the liberal men never occurred to me. Still there is a small element of truth Sarah “She-Wolf of Alaska”; Todd Palin is closer to an Alpha male wolf than any DNC male.
She is trying too hard. I doubt about her political skills.
Time will tell.
“Boom!! Taste my night-stick!!”

I believe that you, Zombie, have uncovered the dirty little secret that explains why Liberals are so deeply involved with Sarah Palin, they have a kinky sexual attraction for her.
I am not being funny either, I really think the Sarah Palin dominatrix stuff has a serious appeal to Liberals.
it becomes kinky because of the pool of lefty hags these nimrods have to deal with…
lefties hate smart, beautiful, conservative women w/ nice racks b/c of simple jealousy
they hate that todd palin gets to tap that and not some limp dicked pseudo-intellectual like themselves (who have to constantly inflate their egos in order to live day to day)
most lefty dudes became libs because they thought that lefty chicks were a bunch of free wheelin’ sexual revolutionaires only to find that any semi attractive lib hag was actually a dyke— go figure
they hate that todd palin gets to tap that and not some limp dicked pseudo-intellectual like themselves (who have to constantly inflate their egos in order to live day to day)
That goes a long way towards explaining the deluge of senseless drivel we get from half-baked nitwits like no-sensey and Aaron. It’s a defense mechanism that provides some respite, however fleeting, from their having to face their list of personal failures and inadequacies. Obviously, it isn’t working all that well for them. I recommend a heavy regime of BC bud, cheap liquor and animal tranqulizers as a palliative for these poor, tormented souls.
Come to think of it, never mind. They’re already there.
HILARIOUS! You sure know how to stiff a liberal.
Would love to share this with my professor brother-in-law, but being the holidays and all…
I really enjoyed this very funny article – and the photo of this beautiful woman from the Belmont Stakes – but there are two main reasons they hate her: she is unabashedly pro life and she skewers Obama better than anyone else could ever hope to.
Great take, and interesting theory. I do believe you’re on to something, Zombie. I’ll have to read more of your posts from here on out.
I am so glad to see that Hallmark has gotten away from the treacly “Home for Christmas” “A Hometown Christmas” “Holiday at Home” “Arbor Day in Da House” blah-blah-blah TV-movie stuff and is making quality films again.
Everybody has a love or hate phobia with Sarah. There are very few who are undecided.
My fellow Republicans that are in the hate group are just envious that Sarah is perfect.
SarahPalinThankGod.com has pictures of her perfect life. She has so many positives and very few negatives. She is beautiful, articulate, smart, and most important conservative.
This article is so spot on!
I know it is a correct rendering of the deep-seated desires of the left…and the right…and the center. Palin has something for everyone, sexual-fantasy-wise. She transcends politics in this regard.
Sarah is mommy. Mommy doesnt love me. I hate mommy.
Freud wrote: If a man has been his mother’s undisputed darling he retains throughout life the triumphant feeling, the confidence in success, which not seldom brings actual success along with it.
There is a strong tendancy for lefties to suffer from a lack of maternal approval and self confidence. A quick look at websites like Kos or HP in comparison to Pajamas Media illustrates this. The liberal sites have elaborate reward systems based on approval by other posters. Like kindergarten paintings on the refrigerator door. Posts are mostly one liners written to aquire fan points. It is all about approval and acceptance which explains a lot about the tendancy to collectivism, fear of dangerous stuff real or imagined (gun control, global warming, government and corporate conpiracies…), and the aptly named “mommy state”.
She is sexually attractive, maternal, and supremely self-confidant. Everything Joe liberal wants but she disapproves of everything that Joe liberal has devoted his/her life to in an effort to win mommies love. This sets up the obsession.
Armchair analysis, but I think you nailed it Zombie.
That goes double for liberal entertainers and academics, and triple for the left-blogosphere, which is nuts-in-the-head (that’s a precise medical term in Austrian) when it comes to Palin.
I’d like to point out that the people of Austria do not speak Austrian, they speak German. There is no such language as Austrian.
It’s ironic that I’d have to point that out here. It seems to me that Obama got into trouble here recently when he said something about the Austrian language and people – rightfully – sneered at him for not knowing that Austrians speak German….
Sigh…The “medical term in Austrian” line quoted from the Legal Insurrection blog is a joke. It’s the writer’s clever shorthand reference to Freud and his fellow Viennese psychologists. Obviously the writer knows they speak German in Austria; but if someone says “in Austrian” it’s a humorous way of saying “in Freudian psychological terms.”
….DAMN ..I thought you were referring to the idiot in the white house and his reference to the Austrian idiom. sigh indeed.
I believe the term in question is “meshugganeh” although I am unsure of the spelling.
I never thought of it this way, but after reading the piece I think Zombie has absolutely nailed it. They can’t resist her…and they hate that!
If the Tea Party Republican Women did a calendar and the Liberal Democrat Women did a calendar, which would sell out the first day and which would end up on the markdown table?
I believe Zombie is onto something, as it seems that politicians, their relatives (Barbara Bush), 20-year old actresses, Harpies (Joy Behar), illiterate professional athletes, worthless MSM colunmists, blowhard TV personalities and so-called journalists just cannot prevent themselves from voicing an opinion about Sarah Palin and everything she or her family does.
For many liberals, I believe it is also their inherent anger that someone other than an Ivy League attorney who worked in “public service” or is a millionaire can possibly think that they have the “right” to an important public office and that anyone who supports such a creature must be as stupid as the creature herself.
I saw it just yesterday when a liberal colleague opined that when she watched old Ronald Reagan movies, she couldn’t help but ask herself “can you believe that HE would be President?”
I respectfully pointed out that Reagan – like Palin – lived an American life: he came from a small town from humble origins, didn’t go to graduate school but worked as a lifeguard, sportscaster, actor and corporate spokesperson, and was President of the Screen Actors Guild long before he went into politics. It was his very background that was part of her appeal.
They hate Palin for the same reasons – she lives a real life, not the life they imagine is “fitting” for a President (of course, though, if you’re a liberal, being President and corrupt like LBJ or a womanizer like Clinton or JFK is ok) and is convervative, so she must be hated.
Another heavy psychoanalytic piece from Zombie. I agree with Cate above – it’s ‘motherhood’ she more or less represents and that her critics are afraid of. That she appears to be a ‘sexy’ mother probably plays a role.
However, we do know that Zombie is heavily into Freud. I guess that’s okay, but it’s overdone.
Zombie …when I saw the tittle of your essay I wondered how the troll would chime in. just proves your point …over and over and over …
cheers
I can wrap this up with these few words. Zombie Rules! Non sensey drools (over pictures of Palin).
“To make it all clear for everybody, I have taken the original lobby poster for Ilsa and updated it to explain contemporary American politics:”
Zombie? Why do you have the original lobby poster for Ilsa? Come to think of it, why is there such a thing as a lobby poster for Ilsa?!
I enjoyed the essay; having read all those wild rants, tinged with sexual panic, about Sarah Palin, you have written what I have been thinking.
Still, I had to ask!
I don’t personally own a lobby poster of Ilsa — I just found a jpeg of one online! (Hence the link to it.) Though I do have friends who collect old cult-movie artifacts, and they’d pay top dollar for a poster of Ilsa if they ever saw one.
“She turns Liberals into lampshades.” Is there a source? I need a few to replace some old dusty ones but they’d have to be inedible. My dog loves rawhide.
Interesting thoughts. You may be on to something.
A great deal of the dismissive attitude towards Sarah Palin has more to do with elitism than politics. Remember how Margaret Thatcher was always beset by snide cracks about being a “shopkeepers daughter” by the doyens of the British Conservative party? I can’t help but thinking that this is the same attitude that marks Barbara Bush’s attitude toward Ms. Palin. Say what you will about her, Sarah Palin is a genuinely fresh phenomenon in American politics….A genuinely populist politician of impeccably (and unashamedly) middle class values. Our entrenched elites (which includes both the country-club GOP and the MSM) simply don’t know what to do with her. I don’t know if she is a serious Presidential candidate but you can’t help but admire her for the enemies that she has made.
I don’t know if she is a serious Presidential candidate but you can’t help but admire her for the enemies that she has made.
I agree. I only hope that some of them will REALLY follow-through this time and move to Canada if she were to be elected.
And liberal men are a bunch of pansies, which is why liberalism will eventually fail. No civilization was ever built on the backs or brains of men like Ezra Klein or Paul Krugman. When “push comes to shove”, they’ll be the ones pushed and shoved into ditches. And the men at the tops of those ditches won’t be drinking Slurpees, they’ll be holding loaded guns.
‘Twas ever thus.
I don’t know why she gives them heartburn I’m just happy to watch the show. For the last 2 years the circus has been in town. A word of caution, the hypertension experienced by Lefty Loons and RINO’s may cause you to stroke out!
interesting analysis. I am a huge fan of the 1980s sci fi miniseries “V”. it’s been remade for ABC and it’s second season will start in January. in the old series, there was the character of Diana (Jane Badler) who creator Ken Johnson-undoubtedly a liberal and no fan of Sarah Palin- created the role of Diana to be a character who is very sensual, evil and a “domineering dominatrix”, in his words. The old “V” was about aliens arriving on Earth, resembling the Nazis right down to their uniforms. They come to take our water, use humans for food and enslave the rest of the masses. Badler’s hair was styled much like Palin’s hair is today. She also wore spiked heeled black boots. Badler portrayed the character as not only a woman with great beauty as well as a one who has a great thirst and ambition for power and control. modeled as a combination of Mengle, Hess and Goering, Diana is a sadist who treacherously tortured her human subjects either physically or mentally. The character of Diana was only supposed to be a secondary character but then Johnson realized there was something more there. No doubt he used this dominatrix to promote the liberal dogma of being “morally superior underdogs”. When you watch the old series it’s evident what the creator Johnson set out to do, especially in the decade of Reagan. Subliminally planting the narrative, Republicans are the fascist Nazis-liberals are the altruistic underdog humans. When in fact, we know it’s the other way around. you should definitely check out the old miniseries “V” if you have the time. or review it if you already seen it.
good stuff.
JML
Libs obsession with Sarah. They obsess with what they can not comprehend. why is she popular???? why is she beautiful???? she did not go to ivy schools, she did not marry some lib winer, whyyyyyy????????????? wahhhhhhh

3. Continue the Bush tax cuts across the board
4. Repeal Obamacare
5. Stop “stimulus” borrowing

She’s a real threat to the lefties and their system of government handouts, and the rest of the Republicans really aren’t.
She has the potential to get into power and to make some real changes, and that’s why she’s hated and feared.
That’s not what conventional wisdom says, but it’s true, and the lefties sense it. The lefties might be total morons (no might be about it, actually) but they’re just sentient enough to see a potential threat to their guaranteed welfare check coming down the road, from a mile away.
Trust me.
Explains why lefties are so desirous of an all-powerful government to feel them up at the airport tell them which light bulbs to use.
For those of you who are familiar with English gematria, the system of assigning numbers to letters, if you enter Sarah L. Palin, which is her full name with the middle initial, you will get the numeric value of 666. For those who don’t understand, Google gematria. I have included two separate links to two separate gematria calculators below for you to see it first hand for yourself. See it and heed its meaning. I had always foreseen this since the 2008 election campaign. Now I proved it for everyone to see.
