Attempting to Destroy Sarah Palin by 'Loving Levi'

Recent news about Levi Johnston’s possible reality show, “Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor’s Office,” proved once more that Sarah Palin scares the Left to death. How so?

For starters, Johnston is the former almost son-in-law of Palin. It was he who fathered a child with Palin’s daughter out of wedlock and provided the mainstream media with the opportunity to attach the “bad parent” moniker to the then-Republican Vice Presidential candidate during the 2008 election cycle.

Furthermore, Johnston added fodder to the media’s coverage by promising to marry Palin’s daughter, only to call it off (after learning that one of his former girlfriends had become pregnant) and then posing naked in Playgirl. After all this, he threw gasoline on the media fire by badmouthing Sarah Palin and announcing that he himself desires to be Mayor of Wasilla, AK.

With headlines like those, it’s just hard to look at a proposed reality show centering on Johnston as anything other than an attack on Palin. Were this not so, then tell me why we haven’t seen a reality show on Al Gore’s son (busted for drugs) or John Kerry’s daughter (DUI), or even Congressman Barney Frank?

The answer is obvious: Gore, Kerry, and Frank share the same worldview as the dominant crowd in Hollywood, thus their children and their actions are shielded from criticism. Moreover, unlike Palin, they aren’t in a position to steer the course of this nation toward conservatism in 2012.
