Why Is Sarah Palin So Despised?

There are probably as many possible answers as there
are people, but a few things that generally don't make
the list are worthy of mention.

First and foremost, the American culture (and a few
European ones as well) doesn't deal very well with
high profile alpha women. The more attractive (and
perhaps Barbi-like) they are the more they're despised
for these characteristics alone.

Combined with the above, Sarah Palin represents a
few more ideals.

She hunts!

She is an active, hands on, participant in the family
fishing business.

She participates in outdoor activities with her snow
machine.

She's a mom, with a childbirth in her 40's.

She's an outspoken conservative.

She's proven an honest politician.

While any one of these factors would be sufficient to
garner a goodly following of jealousy, the confluence
of all of them has led to the response we can plainly
see. Plug the words Palin and despised into your
favorite search engine and you'll see the results for
yourself. I find it interesting that just about all those
outspoken against Sarah Palin focus on one point
or another. They've missed the larger picture that
would make a very interesting study in sociology.
