Aside from now being so overtly partisan, it's a shame to see Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight squander his credibility so hugely in displaying the Left's hate for Sarah Palin. Forget that he foolishly tries to marginalize her terrific fund raising display for an embattled Republican, the misogyny here is really over the top. One of the things I especially like about Palin is the way she causes the Left to lose their grip. You really should be better than this Nate. Leave the misogyny to Tbogg, or SadlyNo, if you want to be taken seriously as a numbers crunching site. Or, perhaps he was trolling for an Andrew Sullivan link?
Palin: All Tail, No Head
That is a very high percentage -- higher than for any of the '08 presidential candidates but for Ron Paul -- as you can see from this chart where I've colored Palin's total in Misogynist Pink.
If Palin weren't doing exceptionally well in this regard, MoveOn wouldn't be targeting her, as Susan Ducclose blogs:
Anyone that has been following the Sarah Palin show can tell you that the more liberals jump on the Palin Bashing Bandwagon, the more popular she seems to become with her base and it grows.
So, being blinded by this support she is receiving, much to do with the liberals constant harassment of her, what do liberals do?
They up the ante and decide to bash some more, therefore making her even more popular.


To all of the high-minded folks here, using their degrees in this and credentials in that to debunk the idea of sexual innuendo being surreptitiously used to disparage Sarah Palin...
I'd like you to recall the image of the annointed one sneaking Hillary the middle finger, and then smirking about it as his acolytes chortled.
You cannot defend the indefensible.
