I generally don’t read up on Andrew Sullivan. I’ve tried, but I find his writing to be distasteful. However, because he has many more readers than me, I guess he’s a much better writer. So I’ve decided to use his name to garner more readers in the hopes that I too can be a great writer.
When I started reading about his bizarre theories about Sarah Palin, I really wasn’t all that shocked. From someone who has whined in the past about Republicans rejecting gay marriage, it really shouldn’t be for you too.
This is because Sarah Palin represents the all-American family. No, they aren’t perfect and they do have their problems. But at the same time, to accuse her of not having Trig, her mentally disabled fifth child, and instead claiming that Trig was the product of one of her daughters own flings is below distasteful.
First of all, if you know anything about Down Syndrome, you’d know that it is more likely to occur when older women give birth. Second, such rumors imply that Trig is some kind of abomination to mankind as a result of the unholy conception they claim occurred. That is seriously disrespectful to all mothers who have children with Down Syndrome. Such parents should be held in high esteem having the courage to raise a child with such a problem. After all, it is not an easy thing.
But the primary reason he seems to resort to such horrendous tactics is because, I think, he is gay and has that stigma that many in the “gay community” have when it comes to families. Such people are openly hostile to the traditional family unit. I don’t pretend to know why Sullivan himself harbors these feelings, but usually it is the result of some family dysfunction or abuse in their past. Tammy Bruce confirmed this in her own book.
Now, understand that I am not accusing all gays of harboring these feelings. But there are many who do and they tend to group together and encourage such things in their groups.
I remember reading an article of his where he was praising Bush for something and then made some off-hand comment about how opposing gay marriage makes some of his followers feel left out. If this is reflective of his attitude toward his lifestyle, then I would argue it is not a stretch to say that he hates Palin because of her wholesome family image and resorts to low brow, despicable attacks on her.
Sadly, I believe that Andrew Sullivan suffers from the same affliction that radical left-wing gays do and that is their inherent desire to be validated by their god, which is of course government. And like I’ve said in the past, this is a form of circular morality because our government is selected by people like them. So in essence, they desire moral absolution from themselves.
Sorry, but I am not here to give out moral absolution. Neither do I care what you do behind close doors, so long as I can get some sleep. And I’m not really a big fan of Sarah Palin either.
But when you resort to such disgusting criticism instead of intellectual ones, it is clear that you lack character and that your intelligence is like that of the Unman. That means you only use it as a weapon like a sword or club and not as a normal human being would.
In any event, I’m sure you’re a good writer. But frankly, I don’t have the stomach for such attacks on character like that.
I am willing to entertain crackpot theories, don’t get me wrong, but at the same time, it is usually obvious when a theory has some merit and when it is merely fabricated in order to attack someone.
And the attacks on Palin have been nothing but that. If you really want people to not like her, Mr. Sullivan, stop resorting to such filth.
