When people complain about the media scutiny of Pailn, consider who she is: a charismatic figure with scattershot, extreme ideas; passing herself off as a folksy friend of the working class; constantly positioning herself as an outsider against "big government", a "maverick"; making broad statements with no specifics; surrounding herself with rabid supporters who themselves have particularly noxious sub-agendas; wrapping herself in the flag and virtually declaring herself and her followers as the only true patriots; relying more on fervid emotion than calculated, reasoned thought; replacing policy with slogans...
No, the media should not place Palin under a magnifying glass. After all, critical media scutiny probably wouldn't have helped in 1930's Munich... There are times when I watch Palin making speeches or giving statements that I feel she might benefit from an admonition the nuns in my school used to give us: "It is better to be silent and mistaken as a fool than to open one's mouth and erase all doubt"...
