Why are people so angry at Sarah Palin?

Watching the Republican national convention last year I was introduced to a new public person, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.  Since then I have been amazed at the stereotypical and prejudicial comments that have been aimed at her.  Significant to me was the attacks of women and women’s groups on Gov. Palin. ( By the way, people are normally allowed to retain the title of the last highest job they held.  So, it is proper to call Mrs. Palin, Gov. Palin, just like we call Mr. Clinton, Pres. Clinton.)  Anyway, I  thought that when people started to attack the glasses she wore, the clothes she wore, her hair style, and her methods of speech communication, well, I thought  it was petty and that many women and women’s advocates would object.  The silence was remarkable.  Now that Gov. Palin has seen fit to resign as Governor and save the people of Alaska a lot of needless grief because of the frivolous lawsuits her haters continually filed against her, I am still amazed at how many people on network television deride her and treat her with unveiled male chauvinism, and with overt sexual voyeurism and trash talk.  One (happened to be a democrat) told Laura Ingram that in two years “Palin will be on Flame and then I will watch her.”  Well, I didn’t know what Flame was but Ms. Ingram did and she strenously objected to his sexist male pig talk and indicated that the reference was to the effect that Governor Palin’s future was pornography and not politics.  As a father and grandfather of girls I find the continuing sexual allusions to Mrs. Sarah Palin  indicative of dirty minded attackers who constantly watch her and cannot get enough of watching her and constantlyand obsessively  talk about her  because they are frustrated hags whose own life is sterile or are adolescent men whose virility requires the taking of viagra.  I think it was a shame that women only got to vote in the 20th century.  I think it is equally a shame that so many people in the 21stcentury want to subjugate women of achievement to a pornographic role.
