I encourage you to correct any factual errors I may have made in "Sarah Palin, Super Star."
However, please know that I did my best to fact-check all information contained in the article.
Although it may seem highly unlikely that anyone "so sweet" and with such a picture-perfect "smiley-face" would guilty of deliberate deception on such a massive scale, Adolf Hitler first pointed out that
"All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously...
By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven...The great masses of people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one."
Mein Kampf, Hitler
It is always possible that she chiefly deceives herself in which case all subsequent misrepresentations go unnoticed.
