You throw the word 'liberal' around a lot. Do you know what it means? Do you know that it's a neutral nomenclature?
And you act as though the criticisms of Palin are a planned agenda. They're not. She is literally so stupid and out of her league that she constantly puts herself in a position to be lambasted for one stupid decision after another. She may be a very fine person - but she is bloody stupid. And I mean stupid as in not being able to understand basic concepts and ideas. Concepts that you and I consider comprehendable and cogent are completely out of her realm. So while she may be upright, she's not fit to lead anyone. The intellectually blind cannot lead anyone.
Her aptitude is not fit and it's not because she's a woman. Women and men have equal intelligence and competence. It's just that some men and women fall short of the proverbial standard. Palin is one of them. She makes a LOT of stupid mistakes and gets called out for them.
However, I agree there is a double standard regarding Palin. I have never commented on her looks nor will I ever because it's disgusting to objectify women. However, in this case, her looks got her to where she is. It's not necessarily her fault unless she pandered to this flattery, but it nonetheless exists. So for Palin detractors to call her offensive names based upon her looks is ridiculous. If we criticize her for the silly ideas she enacts, then it's fair game. All politicians know this. You will be criticized for what you do. It simply sucks for women - particularly ones that fit the beauty ideal - because they will have idiots demeaning them with comments about their appearance.
My two cents. And I repeat, you pretend as though it's only liberals who castigate Palin, but IT'S NOT! I've heard more conservatives bash her than anyone else. So stop blaming the 'liberals' for everything.
NB - your judgments upon my person are wholly inaccurate.
