Palin is indeed polarizing, to say the least.  A natural for the "us v them," "with us or against us" mindset of GOP operatives who make a central strategy of leveraging fear, intolerance and insecurity across cultures, economic circumstances, and religious orientation among other fronts. In Brian Williams' interview segment this evening, Palin described Sen. Obama as dangerous, naive and ill-prepared. Are you kidding me?  She is entirely tone deaf to the reflexive nature of her accusations.
