Divisive

by digby

I didn’t know that a vast majority of Jews dislike Sarah Palin, but evidently they do. This post discusses the debate that’s going on in Jewish circles about what that means. But I particularly like this quote from David Frum:

Just guessing, but I think the real and most fundamental problem Jews have with Palin is not her gleeful ignorance, but her willful divisiveness. More than any politician in memory, Palin seems to divide her fellow-Americans into first class and second class citizens, real Americans and not-so-real Americans. To do her justice, she has never said anything to suggest that Jews as Jews fall into the second, less-real, class. But Jews do tend to have an intuition that when this sort of line-drawing is done, we are likely to find ourselves on the wrong side.

That just strikes me as funny coming from the guy who coined the term “axis of evil.”

Seriously, is Palin any more divisive than any other movement conservative?
