He’s Banned From Kid’s Soccer Games
link Man Shoots TV Over Bristol Palin Dancing | The Smoking Gun.
It’s as if this headline is the most egregious example of Palin derangement syndrome. It’s not. Over the past 2 years since Bristol’s mother Sarah literally popped onto the national stage, the left have been frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of her. Entire careers have been boosted merely by casting contemptuous rhetoric at Mrs. Palin; think Tina Fey. The hardened left react like Pavlovian creatures whenever her name comes up in any context. This has now extended even to her daughter Bristol.
The derangement is truly a neurosis that affects leftists in the most amusing way. One could be having a seemingly innocent conversation with someone, who from all outward appearances looks normal; however if the subject of Palin comes up, the eyes grow wider, the voice volume rises and spittle emerges at the mouth corners. If you want to spruce up a dull party, just mention Sarah Palin. It”s like putting a menthos in a coke bottle. Step back and watch the action. How fun!! Sarah unfortunately inherited this honor from the previous President Bush. We can all recall the rabid opinions about him during his latter years in office. Of course in those days, it was Bush derangement syndrome.
The counter to this is the left’s perception of what conservatives think of the current president. They claim that the right paints him as a socialist, incompetent, arrogant, out of touch, has scary friends, not articulate without the teleprompter and a smoker. This is easy to defend because this is all true.
In the case of George and now Sarah, they are constantly portrayed as being dumb. (how original). Some may recall the same tactic used against Dan Quayle. Of course, this is just subterfuge for the underlying contempt of the populace who would support these two and what they stand for. The dumb portrayal is cemented in the minds of people who don’t even have a stake in the discussion because of the predominant liberal bias of all aspects of the media. Amusingly, we seldom hear of the adventures of Joe Biden, the presumptive head of the American Gaffe Society. We never hear about the brilliance of Dem Rep Hank Johnson who famously feared that too many soldiers in Guam would tip the island over. We don’t get much play over Nancy Pelosi’s reasoning that welfare payments were the best way to stimulate spending. And of course, His Articulateness is seldom lampooned for the comment about the “military corpses”.
So, back to this guy Steven Cowan who has so much vested in the results of a TV show that he is pushed to shoot the TV with a shotgun because Bristol Palin beat out a presumptively better contestant. It’s TV! It’s entertainment! It’s fantasy! They make this stuff up! Stevie may want to get out of the house once in while. He may be watching too much television. Therein may lie the root of all the animus directed at people who don’t agree with you. People believe what comes out of the entertainment world. If it’s not obvious by now, they create and live in a make believe world! If people are frothing about something as inconsequential as Bristol Palin advancing in a dance contest, imagine how they would feel if they found out gangsta rappers with violent, criminal lifestyles make millions of dollars by selling misogynistic drug tunes to young kids. Now that’s worth shooting the radio for.
