Crazy libs are always finding a new reason to hate themselves.

Sept. 29, 2008 | Dear Cary,
I am a Democrat, a mother of three, and a full-time attorney. During the primaries, I was torn between Hillary Clinton, who I believed had the experience to be president (and really, really, really wanted it), and Barack Obama, who I believed was not only highly capable (albeit less experienced), but also the more sincere of the two and who inspired me on an emotional level that Clinton did not. In addition, as my kind friends pointed out to me, Clinton was carrying a lot of baggage in terms of her own scandals, not to mention Bill's little problems. So, in the end, I did what my heart really wanted me to do all along and voted for Obama. And then I totally checked out of the election. I've always disliked the pettiness of politics, the lies, the mudslinging, the arguments over meaningless minutiae, the parsing of personalities ad infinitum, etc. My perspective was, short of Obama being caught on video strangling his children with his own two hands, he had my vote, and thus I had no need to pay attention to all the nonsense that would occur in both campaigns prior to the election.
And then came Sarah. My reaction to her, and the way the Republican Party threw her in our faces, and the pandering and hypocrisy that was behind their decision to do so, was immediate, visceral, and indeed, vicious. I have crossed every line I believed should never be crossed in public discourse -- I have criticized not only her policies and her record, but her hair, her personal style, her accent, her abilities as a mother, etc. I've also begun to suffer personally and professionally. I bore my friends with my constant tirades against her, and am constantly distracted from my work by my need to continually update myself on the latest criticism, and indeed, ridicule, of her. In my hatred for her, I have begun to hate myself.
Enjoy this story?
Buzz up!Thanks for your support.
I don't want this woman ruining my life before she even gets a chance to ruin our country. How do I stop? Is there a self-help group for this?

Crazy libs are always finding a new reason to hate themselves.
Conservatives are starting to get desperate as this election gets further out of reach for McCain.
Defending Sarah Palin is an easy way to lose all credibility.
When SNL is making fun of your complete incompetence, that's a clear sign that you're underqualified.
Palin is the new Shane Heal
This one is the best one...
"In 1929 when FDR came on TV and talked about the Great Depression"
What a stupid ing idiot this dude is...and ya'll are going to vote for him
The most ignorant group of voters in American History...by far.
Better hope Obama can find enough drug addicts and felons to rig the ballot
Lots of Conservative columnists and Politicians hate her too..
George F. Will
David Brooks
Kathleen Parker
David Frum
Charles Krauthammer
Ross Douthat
Stephen F. Hayward
Giuliani
Huckabee
Romney
Thompson
Newt...
Terrific examples demonstrating Palin's qualifications.
Then that must mean Obama is new Hedo
Way to go dude!

Cary Tennis of salon.com is a humorist. This is what people without a thousand axes to grind refer to as a joke.
I can honestly say that I would for any candidate in history over Barrack Obama...
Anybody that appeals to idiots and heads to the degree that Obama does, has no business being President.
In fact I volunteered to work elections for the first time in my life.
I don't trust Obama supporters.
All of them are the same?
Your words are the link. Who cares who he appeals to. Shouldn't you judge the guy directly by what he himself stands for. The fact that Tim McVeigh or David Duke liked Ronald Reagan doesn't make Reagan responsible for whatever they did with their lives. Faulty reasoning. It's like saying The Beatles or James Brown suck because you met a bunch of dummies with bad taste in music who like them... it means nothing.
Truth is I always get this way.
I hated the people that went after Reagan non-stop.
I hated the people that went after Clinton non-stop.
I hated the people that went after W non-stop(in 2004, I lead them in 2000).
Do you believe this is a good thing? It shouldn't be so easy to hate.
How so?
I do.Who cares who he appeals to.
Interesting...then I don't suppose you'd mind telling me why people hate Sarah Palin?The fact that Tim McVeigh or David Duke liked Ronald Reagan doesn't make Reagan responsible for whatever they did with their lives. Faulty reasoning. It's like saying The Beatles or James Brown suck because you met a bunch of dummies with bad taste in music who like them... it means nothing.
Explain that to me. I'd be very interested in hearing that.
What exactly does Barrack Obama stand for?
Tell me..what does he stand for?
Tell that to them...I'm the counter hater...not the initiator hater.
You will never hear me say I hate Palin. I dislike her politics, and that's enough for me. People who are irrationally embittered by politics don't impress me regardless of what party they vote for, and Americans who have a seething hatred for 50% of the population are not, in my opinion, smart or wise people, and certainly not patriotic.
I treat participation in politics as a messy but necessary part of democracy-- it's not like membership in a gang, where it is imperative that you hate everyone who is not in the same gang as you.
This seems like a good course of action? It all just becomes a chicken-or-the-egg argument... and the point is, you are still hating.
