This proves to me at least one thing. Sarah Palin is now essentially a cult leader. Her followers have been completely isolated from the rest of the culture, and they believe all sorts of contradictory and absurd things that are easily confirmed not to be true.

The Tea Party has basically become like a religious movement. Sarah is almost fully deified, and her enemies almost fully demonized. If anything were to ever happen to her, we are all fucked, because that’s the last step to creating a true religious leader. A martyr.
