Since I live in Phoenix, Arizona, I felt the need to leave a comment at the Arizona Republic regarding this Letter to the Editor. Here is what I wrote:
Mrs. Palin is nothing but a right-wing whack job, not to mention a quitter, who is at the very least intellectually dishonest. The people who worship this woman are the same people who believe that Obama is not an American citizen, carry nazi and swastika signs, and can't handle the fact that the demographics of this country are changing. These people are hoping for the South to rise once again. They rely on distortions, lies, and fear instead of arguing on philisophical, moral, and intellectual grounds. Unfortunately, Mrs. Palin must have been absent on the days that these skills were taught during the five different colleges she attended in the span of six years.

Mrs. Palin cannot hold a candle when it comes the intellectual capabilities of the President of the United States. That would be the equivalent of bringing a knife to a gun fight.
However, when it comes to Mrs. Palin, there is no one better when it comes to questioning people's patriotism, playing to their fears, and promoting hate.
