On Wednesday, former Alaska Governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin praised Breitbart News editor Ben Shapiro’s new book,“Bullies: How The Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America.”
In a Facebook note, Palin wrote: “Please read Ben’s book and consider his advice about how we must stand up and push back twice as hard against this bullying.”
Palin, whom liberals and those in the mainstream media have bullied and tried to intimidate because of her staunch and unrelenting conservative views and principles, said Shapiro’s “premise about the left’s silencing tactics is absolutely correct.”
“Obviously I’ve witnessed the left’s bullying behavior up close and personal when it’s been directed at those so close to me,” Palin said, noting “there’s something especially ugly about the way the left goes after children of conservatives.”
She wrote she found it “highly ironic” that the “supposedly ‘tolerant’ left has done nothing but bully, demonize, and judge my daughter Bristol for making the right decision to keep her baby and work so very hard as a single mom to care and provide for him.”
“We must not allow ourselves to be frightened into silence,” Palin wrote.

Ben Shapiro has a great new book out called “Bullies: How The Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America.” Ben’s premise about the left’s silencing tactics is absolutely correct. Obviously I’ve witnessed the left’s bullying behavior up close and personal when it’s been directed at those so close to me. And, of course, I’ve seen how nasty it can be for other conservatives as well. You know, there’s something especially ugly about the way the left goes after children of conservatives. I still find it highly ironic that the supposedly “tolerant” left has done nothing but bully, demonize, and judge my daughter Bristol for making the right decision to keep her baby and work so very hard as a single mom to care and provide for him. I don’t know of any conservative “war on women,” but I sure have seen the left’s war on conservative women!
Please read Ben’s book and consider his advice about how we must stand up and push back twice as hard against this bullying. We must not allow ourselves to be frightened into silence. Yes, it’s hard to “keep on keeping on” when being pushed around – but like Ronald Reagan said: when we stiffen our spines, those around us can stiffen theirs, too! Press in, press on. Don’t retreat, friends!
