Ask Your Doctor About Palin Derangement Syndrome
Andrew Breitbart has written a column in today's Washington Post about what is increasingly being referred to as Palin Derangement Syndrome. Read it:
Hence, it's no surprise that on many a Wednesday in November, they are often left wondering where all these conservative voters came from.
Can you imagine how many heads would explode in Hollywood amidst cries of a "political ploy" if John McCain were to appoint, say, an openly gay person to a cabinet position?
Palin Derangement Syndrome, a more irrational variant of the Bush contagion, doesn't require sufferers to know anything about the subject of their hatred. Anonymous, unsourced rumors fuel the fire (book banning, speaking in tongues, creationism, etc.). Lovely family photos hacked from a personal e-mail account displayed on commercial Web sites push more buttons. Asterisks from Mrs. Palin's biographical sketch - "moose hunter," "small-town mayor," "wife of champion snow machine racer" - cause excessive sweating and irregular heartbeats. She even fired a guy who Tased a 10-year-old. (Oh wait, she didn't.)He goes on to describe how the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Margaret Cho, while "clumsy on their lesbian training wheels," have tripped over each other in their attempts to express their distaste for Sarahcuda. Cho recently blogged, "She is evil...If you [Palin supporters] were truly Christians, you would let gays get married, and send them fucking presents from Bed Bath and Beyond!" Breitbart points out their inability to acknowledge that their own Messiah doesn't support gay marriage either.
What will happen when they find out she shops at Wal-Mart?
For many, gay marriage is a key issue.Liberals, particularly the Hollywood elite, live in a bubble. They read liberal opinion pages, they watch television networks saturated with liberal ideas, and they associate only with other liberals, lest they have to descend to the level of a lowly conservative, who to them is at best a moron and at worst a hyper-religious hate-filled bigoted racist.
Yet none of these gilded-ghetto living haters point out that their savior, Mr. Obama, stands against gay marriage, too. Is that change Melissa Etheridge can believe in?
Like President Clinton, who supported regressive anti-gay-rights legislation such as "don't ask, don't tell" and the Defense of Marriage Act, Mr. Obama gets a massive pass from the activist gay left and their stenographers in the mainstream media.
The never-reported political reality is that both Mr. Clinton and Mr. Obama understand that key components of the Democratic Party - the black and Hispanic blocs - hold views that Brad Pitt would deem "homophobic."
Hence, it's no surprise that on many a Wednesday in November, they are often left wondering where all these conservative voters came from.
