On Palin: The Politics of Criticism vs. the Politics of Destruction

It is good to criticize fanaticism, esp. BLIND fanaticism, but be equally weary of the fanatical Palin haters that parade around this site. Regardless of how some mask their true wishes for Palin in "constructive critic" guise, there are plenty of writers and thinkers out there who offer honest critique of Palin while having her and our country's best interests in mind and therefore want her to come out WINNING.
Most of the FR trolls who post the latest Palin hit-piece of the day could care less for Palin and take joy everytime she supposedly "falls." To these types, Palin is an enemy that must be destroyed for GOOD, not a leader with clear weaknesses to address.
There is something viscerally powerful about Palin that goes beyond her nonconformist style of operation and beyond her gender (even women such as Michele Bachmann and Nikki Haley do not attract the level of reactionary responses that Palin does.)
It's fascinating to ponder how and why God is using her and her family to invoke such captivating responses from people across the world. The hate, envy, and ultimately FEAR she is met with by some corners of society is truly remarkable...and some of the people most threatened by her continual rise to prominence happen to be members of this site.

One of the most glaring aspects of ignorance I notice on the site surround the issue of Palin's resignation. I don't think people realize (or are willing to realize) just HOW strong the agenda of politics of personal destruction against Palin and her family really is. I'm not talking about the media parodies and the leftist rumor mill. I'm talking about the fear she struck within those ever so quiet yet ever so masterful holders, movers, and shakers of power within the Obama circle, the Romney circle, AND the Republican establishment as a whole.
There were a ton of insiders whose basic assignment following the McCain Campaign was: "Operation: Destroy Palin." "Operation: Drive Palin Out of Office."
It's unfortunate that Palin treads such a thin line when glossing over the details about all the things that followed when she returned to Alaska after the 2008 election. Most of us do not grasp the enormity of the attacks she faced. Her family was literally bankrupt! Governors do not have the same shield of protections surrounding them the way Presidents do...
By not saying anything, she risks being accused of the "quitter" mantra --but by going into immense detail, she risks coming off as a victim who attracts too much drama.
The governor often addresses the greater public assuming they’ve read her book and they've waded through the lies surrounding her. But in fact, the deception and questions surrounding ter remains VERY STRONG. She has to be prepared to communicate clearly and slowly her story and her record of experience to a public who still know absolutely NOTHING about her. Even the people who think they know her, don't know her. She has to be DETAILED in her explanations of things, as if everyone's hearing these things for the first time. She cannot assume that peple already "get it."
Should Palin announce her candidacy for the presidency, I feel we must be prepared to watch many leaders and figures us Palin supporters have come to respect and trust come out of the woodwork only to stab Palin in the back and deny her their support when it'll matter most.
