I wonder if Frank is a fan of James Dobson and Focus on the Family and other (similar) outfits of totally irrational (and inherently totalitarian in its motives) political & cultural propaganda.
Frank recently attended a CIS babble-fest celebrating enlightenment reason---not much of that to be found at Focus on the Family, or the "religious" right.
Hilary Clinton was vilified as a witch and far worse for years---from the moment Bill became President. But that was acceptable "right"-wing practice---harmless good fun!
I wonder if Frank or the Australian ever commented on or criticised the toxic mind-set that informed that endeavour. On the contary Ruperts friends in the USA were very much involved in that exercise.
Meanwhile the reason that Sara Palin was chosen to be the VP is because she appeals to the ultra-"moralists" on the "religious" right---James Dobson. Or rather the hippocritical double minded sex paranoid psychotic EMOTION-sexual mindset that they represent.
Make war not love.
Meanwhile you also check out some of the stuff being said about Barack Obama on the toxic-right websites and blogs. The psychotic nature of "right"-wing politics revealed in its unabashed double-minded nastiness.
One of the scariest books I have ever read was/is Betweemn Jesus and the Market by Linda Kintz (the Amazon reviews are good). To me it provides an excellent explanation of what Sarah Palin is appealling too.
