It's amazing how worked up people are getting over Sarah Palin. Anti-Palin material is strewn across the web and mainstream media, with news aggregators and outlets alike publishing everything from the slightest criticism, to every rumor that some wild-eyed apparatchik has dreamed up. The behavior has reached the point of being often just frothing-at-the-mouth hatred of her.
Ironically, compared to Biden, she's really not much of an extremist. Biden is a man who has rarely, if ever, met a power short of rounding up minorities and gassing them that he didn't approve of. Just thumb through the federal law books, and you will find a disproportionate number of the outrageous police powers that federal drug cops have came from him. You think it's extreme fascism that Palin believes that abortion is unacceptable in the case of rape or incest? Well, Biden is a man who supports the idea of seizing people's property without giving them a trial (this is called "civil asset forfeiture;" look it up if you don't know anything about it) and holding concert promoters legally liable for drug use on their property, irrespective of any security measures they imposed to stop drug use.
Objectively speaking, Biden should be the target of much of the hatred that is being flung at Palin, but then hatred is rarely objective or rational. This is just one of many good reference points that explains all of the wonder ways that Biden has planned to do his part to plunder the last vestiges of American liberty.
So far, Palin seems to be the one that has a much better record on civil liberties than Biden. She has recognized the importance of jury nullification, supports the right to keep and bear arms and doesn't seem to harbor any particular enthusiasm for the War on Drugs (the number one source of new federal police powers for the last several decades) the way that Biden does. So give the woman a break, unless you're going to give Biden the attention that his record deserves.
