RE: Why They Hate Her

A reader wrote in yesterday chastising me for claiming that many on the left seem to “hate” Sarah Palin. I’ve given enough examples to believe that I’m on safe ground here, but just in case the reader wasn’t convinced, here’s a piece by a University of Michigan professor ( mentioned earlier today by Nathaniel Peters) likening Palin to Muslim fundamentalists in general and Hamas in particular—just in case any overly tolerant readers didn’t automatically conflate Islamic fundamentalism with terrorism.

I’ll stand my ground with my insistence that many on the left hate Sarah Palin in a very real way.
