Gloves being challenged to go for jugular

As if Liberals haven't already taken the gloves off in regard to Sarah Palin, I came across this HuffPo article that throws down the proverbial gauntlet for the nutroots (I presume) Naomi Foner: We're in Big Trouble. There's some disturbingly Liberal clap-trap in the op/ed, and here's a sample:

Leaders need to be chosen from the most talented among us, not from the bottom of the barrel. And we shouldn't be afraid to say so.

What kind of misplaced chivalry would keep the Democrats from calling Sarah Palin what she is? An ignorant, misinformed, inexperienced, bigoted fraud. And unless we find a way to do it, she will be running the country before we have time to turn around.

As far as "talent," isn't it most important what someone does with their talent? And aren't a person's views on issues at least equally as important as whether they are "talented"?

Keep typing, idiots.
