It was an interesting contrast to watch the crowd reactions to Obama's speech last week and Palin's speech last night. Obama's crowd was enthusiastic and almost ecstatic as they became inspired, at least momentarily, to something beyond themselves and politics as usual. Shots of the crowd showed faces radiant with enthusiam and tears of hope and joy. At risk of sounding a bit sappy, the speech brought out the best in people and the hope for making the USA a better place.
Palin's speech on the other hand, was searing, sneering, slicing, slashing, sleazy, sarcastic, snide, cynical, and more than somewhat sinister. Her speech was designed to, and succeeded in bringing out the worst in people. Shots of the crowd showed chortling faces, twisted with hatred, ready for a lynching.
I hope the next sssss's I hear out of the Republicans is the sound of the air escaping from the hateful gas-bags that they truly are.
