On Palinpalooza

By Big Tent Democrat

Al Giordano discussing an Obama Tier 2 ad (which means it is NOT from Obama):

Obsession with Palin has more often than not, in the past 14 days, said more about the misogynist and sexist culture we live in than about Governor Palin. It doesn't matter if, on the merits, the critique is right or wrong: it's the kind of Palin-hate that drowns out the more necessary fair-game critiques of her, and inoculates her from them. In a way, the obsessions over Palin from parts of the left mirror the act of aerial hunting being described in the ad. (And it's a very eerie coincidence that the McCain campaign's own pre-existing Internet ad that purports to be against "sexism" also uses the image of invading wolves, albeit making the opposite point.)

I wonder if that post makes Giordano a "concern troll?"
