Today we discover that Sarah Palin is opposed to cannibalism, which is a relief.

And you can tell from the tortured grammar, incoherent half-sentences, and labored references to Rush Limbaugh that she actually wrote this screed herself.

I am sadly too familiar with these tactics because they were used against the GOP ticket in 2008. The left seeks to single someone out and destroy his or her record and reputation and family using the media as a channel to dump handpicked and half-baked campaign opposition research on the public. The difference in 2008 was that I was largely unknown to the American public, so they had no way of differentiating between the lies and the truth. All of it came at them at once as “facts” about me. But Newt Gingrich is known to us – both the good and the bad.

We know that Newt fought in the trenches during the Reagan Revolution. As Rush Limbaugh pointed out … blah blah blah … Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie, and in turn Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive.” As Rush and others pointed out … blah blah blah … What we saw with this ridiculous opposition dump on Newt was nothing short of Stalin-esque rewriting of history. It was Alinsky tactics at their worst.

The most shocking revelation in her essay (besides the fact that Barry Goldwater passed a “torch” to “Ronnie” Reagan, who then passed it to Newt Gingrich) is that the evil GOP establishment, besides being Stalin-esque cannibals, are actually using endoscopes to do their dirty work:

Oddly, they’re now using every available microscope and endoscope – along with rewriting history – in attempts to character assassinate anyone challenging their chosen one in their own party’s primary. So, one must ask, who are they really running against?
