Sarah Palin opened the door on the whole "urban v. rural" words war the minute she opened her mouth as the VP nominee.  Her disdain for "big city liberals" was obvious from the very beginning.  That's not to say there hasn't been a long-standing partisan divide between urban and rural areas but Palin is the one who injected the vitriol into the presidential campaign.  Her rhetoric was hostile and combative to the point that it sometimes appeared she was rallying people for war rather than giving a campaign speech.  The emotional reactions she generated in people were downright frightening at some points.  For that reason, I view her as one of the most dangerous politicians in the country.  So I have no time for anyone who wants to sit around crying about how Sarah Palin was picked on.  The media was absolutely right to shut her down as nothing more than a bully who needs to be stopped.

The amusing thing is that Palin is actually governor of one of the most urban states in the country.

LOL.  That's so true.  I totally forgot that half of Alaska lives in Anchorage.
