Palingenetic ultranationalism is a theory concerning generic fascism formulated by British political theorist Roger Griffin. The key elements are that fascism can be defined by its core myth, namely that of “national rebirth” — Palingenesis

Arraya: Actually, I kind of dig her in that pic!
Kidding aside, that was an interesting Wiki entry. You see some of that same foaming at the mouth Nativist/fascist nonsense in the more rabid elements of the Tea Party movement and it unfortunately taints the wider pool of those who are genuinely concerned (for good reason) about the state of affairs in this country and want a change.
Palin is simply doing and saying whatever she has to in order to make a buck, as evidenced by the six figure fee she commanded for her speech at the Nashville Tea Party soiree. Pathetically, her more perfervid minions believe she really means what she says, or that she even has a clue. This is government by talk radio, with Palin, Beck and Limbaugh at the helm.
