Frank Rich on Sarah Palin and the fringe that now controls the GOP. Some of the nationalist fervor, the fear and the scapegoating are reminiscent of prior troubled times. May our present time's more level heads prevail.

I know someone who is related to someone who is friends with someone who doesn’t like Palin. Shun?

Someone ranked Palin in his top five politicians without ranking her number one. Should I shun him as a Palin-hater?
