Great post from Drooz.
Mark Levin on Sarah Palin.
I think this was a really great broadcast. I listened to it live, and then it was also posted in a blog entry on Redstate. I absolutely agree with something Levin says about halfway through the video; as conservatives, we must stop allowing people like Palin to be trashed. We each have our own personal tastes, and I'm not urging that everybody fawn over Sarah Palin and anoint her like the Left did to Obama, but she's one of our major powerplayers. When bitter losers like David Letterman are allowed to completely trash an honest, hardworking, self-made politician but nobody is allowed to criticize The O, it's pretty apparent that our country has reached a low point.
A fourteen year old girl was made fun of on national television, and an entire studio audience laughed at the idea of her rape. We cannot stand for this! I'm absolutely livid.
This goes beyond Sarah Palin. Limbaugh, Cheney, Jindal, Bachmann, and even Carrie Prejean have been ripped to shreds by the media over the last few months. For Limbaugh, Cheney, and Palin, it's gone on longer than that. I'm sick and tired of hatred toward conservatives. What people like Letterman don't realize is that when he insults Sarah Palin, he's insulting all people who identify and agree with her beliefs. If she were liberal, she would be hailed as a hero; self-made politician, mom, and small business owner. Bristol would be getting support from movie stars and the editorial staff at the New York Times for her brave choice to be a teenage mother. Piper would still have her lemonade stand.
It's because of her beliefs that she is ridiculed. Sarah Palin is not a stupid woman, nor is she ignorant. If she wanted government-run health care and abortion, she would become the next president without a second thought.
Ronald Reagan was also ridiculed during his time. We, as conservatives, should not let the media and talking heads tear us down; but we should not sit idly by and let it happen. If we must claw our way to the top, then so be it. I refuse to sit here and lose my country because David Letterman and his ilk think rape jokes are funny.
Logging you in...

LCR, are you old enough to remember how they smeared Reagan after '76? I barely remember him being called a "warmonger" and his economic plan being called "voodoo economics" by Bush 41 who represented the left wing of the Repubs. They were scared to death of Reagan. I would not be surprised if a faction of the left wing Republicans; angry at all but being left out of Reagans "Conservative Coalition, may have had something to do with Reagan getting shot in '81. I believe it was either them or the Iranians who were angry about how Reagan treated them. The only "bone" Reagan threw the left wing repubs was Bush as V.P. The rest of his cabinet were conservatives or democrats. some were both. We've never had a time in our history like now when one party is expected to be "left" and the other "right". The "blue dog" Dems were as conservative as they came. There were liberal Republicans too just like now. Both Bushes were basically liberals. Remember "Read My Lips; No New Taxes" (unless the democrats ask for tax hikes)
