Any minority or woman that has conservatives views MUST be demonized. It is one thing for a white male to hold conservative views, but quite another when it is a woman or a minority. Liberals can't afford to let women and minorities see conservative ideology as being a legitimate viewpoint that has answers for this segment of society. This is why they demonized Clarence Thomas and Miguel Estrada. They had to be marginalized in order to preserve the liberal base.

I agree with you on this. The base of the Democratic Party is every bit as guilty of excess ideologism as the base of teh GOP. What ever happened to governing, rather than electioneering.
On Sarah Palin, I differ, but that may also be due to the different sides of the fence on which we sit.
I have not seen in her presence much of substance or of resolve. To me, she really looks as if she is parroting a line that she feels will get her the votes that she needs to be elected.
(Not that Obama is not guilty of same.)
