CONSERVATIVES, WHY DO YOU HATE SARAH PALIN? (updated)

You've probably heard that Republicans, particularly from Ohio, have denounced President Obama for officially restoring Mount McKinley's original name, Denali. Conservative anger is quite strong on Twitter:

Obama observes Islam practice of eliminating Western names>Mt. McKinley to revert back to Denali https://t.co/rh0ZhaVMhv via @gatewaypundit

Perhaps we should just be grateful Obama didn't decide to rename Mt. McKinley Mt. Trayvon.

Never mind the fact that this is a popular move in Alaska, even among Republicans:

Today we are honored to recognize America's highest peak officially as Denali, or 'The Great One.' http://t.co/lxd3HKAOBo

Hey, angry conservatives, do you know who calls the mountain Denali?

Sarah Palin.

She called it Denali in her 2009 gubernatorial resignation speech. Go to 1:25 in the clip:

And getting up here I say it is the best road trip in America soaring through nature's finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun.

Denali was also Palin's Secret Service codename during the 2008 election.

Angry conservatives, why do you hate Sarah Palin?

****

UPDATE: And since I'm getting some positive reactions to this on Twitter, I'll add it here.

Hey, GMC: change the name of the Denali to the McKinley and watch a lot of right-wing idiots decide to buy one.
