Now, there are reasons to be dubious about Palin's inclusiveness-- quoting Pegler (an energetic anti-Semite) about the wonderfulness of small towns doesn't look great. Neither does going to a church where a preacher from Jews for Jesus was welcome.
However, none of this has anything to do with whether she hunts, and saying that it does is exactly the rural/urban divide that drives some voter's away from the Democrats, and I can't say they're wrong to not trust a party which includes politicians that view them as murderers.
