". . . she (Palin) presses a button and what comes back is hate,"

[Faygo Kid]

Joe McGinniss learned what Palin is all about when he lived in Wasilla for a few months to research a book about her:

". . . McGinniss would not reveal what his book will say about the former governor. But he did get a taste of the support Palin has inspired.

"It's just a peculiar thing, but she does, as I found out in May, she presses a button and what comes back is hate," he said. "The people who respond when she complains about something are just so filled with hate. I got some of the ugliest, most vile e-mails directed at me, my grandchildren, my children, my wife — just ugly, ugly stuff."

As for his interviews, most people he approached in Palin's hometown were willing to speak, but he said there was what he calls an "undercurrent of fear."

"People — I don't know if they're afraid of shadows or whether there's something real there — she's no longer in a position of governmental influence but there are people up there who are scared to death to talk because if Sarah ever found out they talked, oh, something terrible would happen to them," he said. . .

1. Yeah, Our Condo President Was Like That

Took me 6 years to get enough brave souls to force her out. Of course she helped a lot by abusing power she was unfit to hold. Now she plays the crazy lady of the condo association...but she doesn't get to hurt anyone anymore.
