WHY IS THE VIEW SO FIXATED ON SARAH PALIN???
Above and all cartoons below are part of the hundred-plus Sarah Palin Tribute Editorial Cartoons.

These lies and smears are debunked at Fight The Palin Smears and the neutral FactCheck.org.
Looks like there’s another list, over at Explorations. Kudos, fight the Obamedia smear-merchants!

Kudos to Red Planet Cartoons for linkage!
————————–
Palin rips the liberal media for respecting Obama and his demands to keep clear of his family yet attacking her and her children:
————————–
Even the public isn’t duped by the lie-beral media’s plain-as-day bias:
1) Rasmussen: By 10-to-1 Public Says Reporters ‘Trying to Hurt Palin’ – 51% of voters think reporters are trying to hurt Sarah Palin with their news coverage, 24% say those stories make them more likely to vote for John McCain in November, just 5% think reporters are trying to help her with their coverage:
Here’s an incomplete, but ever-growing list of what they’re talking about:
3) Media Reduced to Attacking Saracuda’s Hair – With her long, straight, often pinned-up locks, Palin looks one humid day away from fronting a Kiss cover band. It’s about 20 years out of date. Which goes to show how off she might be on current events.
4) Anti-Palin lie of the morning: She “slashed” teen pregnancy funding – The Washington Post rushes out with a story that GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin “slashed” funding for teen moms. The funds that Paul Kane describes as “slashed” was over a threefold increase from the government funds they received from all sources in 2006.
5) Not again: Palin “slashes” another children’s program…by increasing funding – CNN’s O’Brien says Palin cut the budget for Alaska special-needs funds by 62 percent. Palin actually signed a law that equalizes aid to rural and urban districts, while significantly increasing funding for special needs students.
—————————–
6) Two covers, one conclusion:
P.D.S. alert: Us magazine’s partisan hit job – Us publisher Jann Wenner is a prominent Obama donor.
Hey, Obama: Fight the Smears – Michelle Malkin wrote a special column today for the NYPost on how Barack Obama must do more to fight the smears — originating with members of his own team and extended family of slavering supporters — against Sarah Palin.
Compare: The Us Weekly cover you didn’t see:
FNC: US Weekly Editor Says Palin ‘Lies’ Headline Referred to Liberal Bloggers
Hahahahaha! Boycott Us Weekly: 10,000 and counting?, Us Weekly begs readers to stay
What’s on pages 4 & 5 of Us Weekly’s Palin-bashing issue – Michelle Obama = Beautiful gazelle in simple and chic designer fabrics! Sarah Palin = Scary, right-wing scandal-plagued caribou killer!
J.C. Penney blindsided by Us Weekly – Advertiser not happy with the sudden change to the anti-Palin cover.
Us Weekly now offering “five FREE issues” to outraged readers – We are sorry you are upset over the Governor Palin cover. We do not want to lose you as a subscriber over one article in one issue. In an effort to keep you as a subscriber, we will add five FREE issues to your subscription.

7) Tabloids Gone Wild: Palin in the Checkout Counter Crosshairs:
8.) Selective sympathy for moms in public office – In observing the P.D.S.-induced mania about Gov. Sarah Palin’s work/family life, I was reminded of a very sympathetic piece in the Washington Post from last July on female politicians in Congress who have young children. (No such sympathy for Palin.)
9) CNN Message: Palin = Nazi?:
10) National Enquirer ‘Breaks’ Story of Alleged Sarah Palin Affair – (Don’t expect the MSM to denounce the NE the way they did when it broke the Edwards-Hunter affari.)
11) More Proof of Rusty’s Theory – Palin reduces O!bot to quivering patisan attack goo in 3 minutes.
12) Speaking of “Vetting” the VPs….. – 6 references to Palin ‘scandals’ on front page of WaPo, son and brother of Joe Biden in defraud case hidden inside page 9.
13) Will Newsweek Eat This Headline? ‘Why Sarah Palin Is Likely to Belly-Flop’ – It doesn’t have that title online, but that was the header yesterday on Newsweek’s list of most-read stories.
14) Did Chicago Tribune Get Only Anti-Palin Letters to the Editor? – Nine letters to the editor were printed; eight of them were overtly anti-Palin and/or anti-Republican. The remaining letter was a plea for “the birth control education and access” that kids “so obviously need.”
15) Obama and the FBI – Incredible media double standard, whereby a Republican vice-presidential candidate’s personal life is being torn apart, while the Democratic presidential candidate continues to get a free ride. Obama has a 30-year history of associating with unsavory characters, beginning with communist Frank Marshall Davis and continuing with Jeremiah Wright and communist terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, which should disqualify him from getting a security clearance in the government that he wants to run.
16) Sarah Palin and the Double Standard
17) Ann Coulter: THE BEST MAN TURNED OUT TO BE A WOMAN
– On the multitude of double standards used against Sarah Palin.
18.) Figures. Media Makes Up Palin Church Scandal– Still Ignores Obama Church Sermons Damning Whitey
20) Figures… Obama Camp Behind Palin Smears – The Obama Campaign is now admitting to being behind the inaccurate Sarah Palin smears.
21) Getting Less Squeamish By the Minute – Less than a month ago, the Public Editor of the New York Times, Clark Hoyt, addressed his paper’s failure to cover the John Edwards “love child” story until after Edwards’ interview with ABC News. The Times has limited resources to cover the Presidential campaign, and it has to devote itself to the stories that are really important. Today, the Times has three front-page stories about Bristol Palin.
22) Media Continues to Air Far Left Sexist Attacks On Palin – The media continued to pound Sarah Palin yesterday after the news of their daughter’s pregnancy and even repeated the loony Far Left conspiracy theory that Palin’s Down Syndrome baby was actually her daughter’s! For women under 30, the odds of having a Down Syndrome baby is 1 in a 1,000. For women over 42 the odds are 1 in 60.
23) SICK. Obama Supporters Thrash Bristol Palin’s “Redneck” Boyfriend – The Obama-supporting mainstream media has already discovered and reported information on Bristol Palin’s boyfriend. The liberal media has reported the contents of his MySpace page and published all of this teenager’s personal information. Meanwhile, the MSM can’t be bothered with Obama’s relationship to terrorist Bill Ayers.
24) Isn’t it ironic – that most major newspapers will not print the names of minors involved in criminal acts including murder, but they can trash Bristol Palin?
25) Palin Derangement Syndrome:
26) Desperate media tgries to pin Palin to Hagee any way they can – Sarah Palin’s now famous “lipstick” joke from her acceptance speech Wednesday night is generating lots of buzz in Democratic circles and the liberal blogosphere. Not because of how funny it was, but because of its similarity to another (in)famous one-liner delivered by controversial evangelical pastor John Hagee.
27) Official Barack Obama Website: Trig Trutherism, Palin is Unfit Mother
28.) Media Elites Continue to Focus on the “Real Issues”–And The People Know the Score – Sadly, the writers at the Boston Herald don’t appear to be nearly as concerned with Gov. Palin’s thoughts on the pressing issues as they are with her “passe” hairstyle.
29) The Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse – Infantilization, Sexualization, Demonization and Dehumanization. (An excellent article listing media attacks on Palin, with links.)
30) Oprah on Her Refusal to Host Sarah Palin – Oprah refuses to bring Palin onto her very-popular-with-women show, explains “I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates” (ya rite!!!!!).
Oprah vs. Sarah-cuda – How does it feel to lose your place as the most electrifying woman in America, Oprah?
31) New York Times Plans Front Page Story On the Palin’s Down Syndrome Baby
32) The bogus Sarah Palin Banned Books List – The official Obama campaign website is also perpetuating the fraud.
33) MTV piles on the Palin family; host Russell Brand promotes Obama, bashes America, Bush, and Christians – MTV, of course, is a division of left-wing media giant Viacom. Viacom’s PAC is among Barack Obama’s biggest supporters. Last year, Viacom PAC forked over $80,200 in contributions to Obama — ranked 19th highest among his PAC donors.
34) Latest smear: Palin called Obama a “Sambo!”
OBAMA SUPPORTERS Are Behind Palin Sambo Smear! – Two members of Barack of Obama’s campaign, Dick and Sharon Price, created a post on their “LA Progressive” blog that accuses Sarah Palin of using the name “Sambo” to describe Barack Obama.
35) Anatomy of a Smear – It looks like it was the Obama Camp or the DNC that leaked the latest infidelity smear against Sarah Palin.
36) Despite Media Spin– Palin DID Put Plane On Ebay– Here’s the Ad… – In the latest smear to discredit Governor Palin, the liberal media claims that the popular governor did not sell the governor’s jet on Ebay.
37) Sarah Palin’s so-called sins … – The trust-funded Beautiful People of the mainstream media and the Democratic Party are unanimous. Sarah Palin is a bad person. A very, very bad person. Here is a list – a very partial list – of the reasons that the governor of Alaska is not qualified to be vice president of the United States. (On a tip from wits0.)
38.) Repulsive: AP Insists That Just Because We’ve Seen the Palin Children, They’re Fair Game – We saw Chelsea Clinton an awful lot — even campaigning with her mother, and speaking on her behalf! — but the media has never claimed Chelsea was fair game. And of course Obama’s daughters too.

41) Alasak Democratic Party Deletes Page Crediting Sarah Palin with Killing Bridge to Nowhere
42) Media Finds Their Alaska Darling– A Liberal 20%’er Who Hates Palin – A Wasilla resident is very familiar with Anne Kilkenny from Berkeley and she’s an “admitted liar and manipulator of facts.”
43) Democrats drill…for dirt – Democrats have airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage, the state capital Juneau and Mrs. Palin’s hometown of Wasilla to dig into her record and background.
44) Vandalizing Sarah Palin’s Wikipedia pagee
45) WaPo Reports On Palin’s Expenses– The Latest Non-Scandal
46) Heather Mallick Lifts Her Snout From The Trough – Canadian press has this to say, excerpted:
…Sarah Palin … fit of pique … the white trash vote … sexual inadequates … she isn’t even female really … Alaska hillbilly … “white trash” … trailer trash … rural, loud, proudly unlettered … toned-down version of the porn actress … overtreated hair, puffy lips … “pramface” … roughneck fuckin’ redneck … prodding his daughter … ratboy … fizzing with rage and revenge … vicious and profoundly dishonest … good fast listing… nervous wreck with deeply strange hair … the hick vote … ordinary hillbilly … racism? … racism … “rectal fissure” … tense no-hoper ladies … white female marginals …
47) Michelle Malkin column: Sisterhood of the Protected Female Liberal Journalists – Double standards and plank in eyes as liberal media working moms bash Palin on being a working mom.
48.) Yawn: The AP smears Palin over prayer for troops in Iraq – See how they intentionally cut off the head of her sentence to skew her words out of context:
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”
Here’s what the AP turns it into:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a “task that is from God.”…
“Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God,” she said. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God’s plan.”
49) ABC News blows it – Taking quotes out of context. Getting basic facts wrong. Engaging in distortionary hype.
ABC NEWS FLOPS– Palin Interview a Hatchet Job …Update: AP Smears Palin – “Palin tries to defend qualifications in interview”
Following from Day by Day illustrates it aptly:
50) Tabloids Try to Out-Trash the MSM – In the National Enquirer’s latest effort, her son Track, who is courageously heading off to fight terrorists in Iraq, is accused not only of using OxyContin, but of “snorting it, eating it, smoking it and even injecting it,” as well as indulging in unspecified “wild antics” that Sarah and Todd Palin have been “powerless to stop.”
51) What the hell is the matter with The New Republic? – So, what is The New Republic obsessing about as the teenager prepares to fight for our country on the seventh anniversary week of 9/11? Track’s “temper.”
In a page 1 news story, Washington Post reporter Anne Kornblut accuses Sarah Palin of asserting “that the Iraqi government under Saddam Hussein helped al-Qaeda plan the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.”
Just one problem: Palin said no such thing. She simply said that Iraq-bound U.S. troops would “defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans.”
53) ABC Distorted Palin Interview With Misleading Editing – The interview was heavily edited so as to portray Palin as a belligerent warmonger who wants to attack Russia. But look what Palin had to say that was left on the cutting room floor.
Earth to Howard Kurtz – From an honest liberal: ABC should release the entire, unedited interview, so that Americans can judge her more fairly.
Which “Bush doctrine” did you mean, Charlie?:
The New York Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.
There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration — and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different.
He asked Palin, “Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?”
She responded, quite sensibly to a question that is ambiguous, “In what respect, Charlie?”
Sensing his “gotcha” moment, Gibson refused to tell her. After making her fish for the answer, Gibson grudgingly explained to the moose-hunting rube that the Bush doctrine “is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense.”
Hit it on the head cartoon from Day by Day:
Reference for the above at The Cassandra Page: Bush doctrine; Sarah Palin; Charles Gibson; Monty Python; Chris Muir [Day-by-Day].
Fabricating a GOP tyrant – This is the dishonest marginalization of a candidate some members of the mainstream media simply do not like. If she won’t marginalize herself with outrageous statements, some will pull them from thin air. If Palin is too religiously extreme for public office, how do we explain Washington, Kennedy, Carter, Clinton and Reagan?
Comparing the Charlie Gibson Interviews– Obama vs. Palin On Religion – Charles Gibson grilled Governor Palin over a Lincoln quote she recited at her church months earlier that had found its way into the media from the Far Left blogs. Barack Obama left his church of 20 years five days before Gibson interviewed the senator. It did not come up once.
Ann Coulter on the issue – That summer, in 1776, Gen. George Washington — a charter member of the founding fathers — rallied his troops, saying: “The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves. … The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of the army.” So Washington not only used the phrase “under God,” but gave us one of the earliest known references to the rights of the “unborn.” That’s right! George Washington was a “pro-life extremist,” just like Sarah Palin.
ABC’s Anti-Palin Camera Tricks – While it’s true that Governor Palin is of less stature than Mr. Gibson, the deliberate choice of the camera’s height, framing and the use of telephoto lenses all serve to make Mr. Gibson look overpowering and Governor Palin the weak prey.

54) HuffPo’s Friday Night Palin Hit Piece: “I want to have sex with Palin on my Barack Obama sheets” – I want to have sex with her on my Barack Obama sheets while my wife reads aloud from the Constitution. (My wife is cool with this if I promise to “first wipe off Palin’s tranny makeup.” I married well.)
55) Enlightened Liberal Wit – Please excuse the vulgarity, but this is what passes for political humor on the left side of the blogosphere:
56) Despicable anti-Palin merchandise of the day:
57) CBS: Palin Phenomenon Doomed– “Media” Will Get Bored With It
58.) PDS Alert: Us Weekly and friends are at it again – Left-wing bloggers have unearthed a new, Deep Important Issue to wield against Sarah Palin: The personal tanning bed she installed at the governor’s mansion in Alaska. But it’s a great opportunity for Palin-haters to mock her looks again and for Obama cultist publisher Jann Wenner to use Us Weekly to bash Palin again.
59) Surprise! Palin Investigators Are Obamatrons:
The man overseeing the “investigation,” Sen. Hollis French, is the bald guy near the back (fifth from left, by the Obama ’08 posters). Any doubts about this hack’s objectivity yet?
Well, it gets better. Last week, for obvious reasons, Rep. John Coghill asked the Alaska Legislative Council to remove French from the probe. Coghill’s request was rejected:
On Monday, the head of the Legislative Council turned down his request. Democratic Sen. Kim Elton responded that he is sure that partisan politics can be kept out of the probe.
You know what’s coming, right? Senator Elton is also in the picture. He’s the tall bearded guy on the far left (ahem) of the photo.
Alaska AG Says Troopergate Witnesses Won’t Testify! – The Alaska Attorney General announced tonight that the state employees subpoenaed in the Troopergate investigation will not testify in the politicized show trial against popular Governor Sarah Palin.

60) Sarah Palin’s private e-mail hacked, family photos raided; cesspool blog gloats; feds investigate – The Gawker smear machine has posted private family photos of Palin’s children that were apparently stolen from the e-mail account
Gawker lies again – The predictable response from the Gawker smear machine to my criticism of their decision to publish illegally obtained photos of the Palin children? Slime, false moral equivalence, and more lies.
The story behind the Palin e-mail hacking – Inside scoop on how one hacker broke into Palin’s email, and was opposed and supported by other message boarders.
Palin e-mail hack update: AP won’t help feds, tech operator will
Closing in on the Palin e-mail hacker – The son of state Rep. Mike Kernell has been contacted by authorities in connection with a probe into the hacking of the personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Kernell confirmed on Thursday. Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin’s personal email account.
AP reporter e-mails: Yeah, it’s all Palin’s fault – The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not comply.
AP Protects, Encourages Palin Email Hackers
FBI ACTS!!!… SERVES (suspected) PALIN HACKER DAVID KERNELL WITH SEARCH WARRANT!! – David is a self-described Obamacrat and his father Mike Kernell is a liberal Tennessee State Representative. All signs pointed to the young Obama supporter as the Palin hacker.
On the Palin e-mail hacker trail – A grand jury in Chattanooga could hear testimony this week into the break-in. Witnesses say Kernell and his friends fled the apartment when the FBI agents arrived.
An update on the Palin e-mail hacker case
Palin e-mal hacker suspect indicted; at least one other person illegally accessed account – Yes, it’s Tennessee Democrat lawmaker Mike Kernell’s son, David Kernell.
Busted!!… UTK Student David Kernell- Son of TN Dem Rep- Indicted for Hacking Palin Email Account!
Sarah Palin Expected to Testify Against Leftist Tool Who Hacked Her Email Account – Sarah Palin is expected to testify against the son of a prominent liberal politician from Tennessee who hacked her email account during the 2008 election. Kernell was a member of the UT for Barack Obama organization. He listed it on his Facebook account. He also described himself as an Obamacrat on his facebook account. Kernell was also linked to Barack Obama for President Campaign Manager David Plouffe.
Jury Selection Begins for Lib Student Who Broke Into Palin’s Email Account – A former college student charged with hacking Sarah Palin’s e-mail account fears some jurors in heavily Republican East Tennessee could be dazzled when the conservative star testifies.
Bristol Palin Harassed by the Classy Left – Sarah Palin’s daughter testified Wednesday against a former college student charged with breaking into her mother’s e-mail account, saying she got anonymous phone calls and hundred of text messages after her cell phone number was posted online.
SARAH PALIN TESTIFIES; Lashes Out at Dem Hacker Outside Court (Video) – Sets the record straight- Says Kernell should face “consequences.” Sarah Palin said, “It wasn’t right. It wasn’t legal. It wasn’t fair or decent.”

Buh-Bye Punk… Palin Email Hacker David Kernell Gets Year in Jail – Obama supporter David Kernell was sentenced to a year in prison today for “hacking” into Sarah Palin’s email account in 2008.
Bummer. Leftie Obama Supporter & Palin Hacker Sent to Prison After All – The Federal Bureau of Prisons rejected a federal judge’s recommendation that David Kernell be housed at a Magnolia Avenue halfway house instead of a prison…Most Likely Scenario – The prison will be full of democrats and Obama supporters who will treat him like a hero.

61) Google Falls Short on Subtlety:
See Obama’s comments on pigs for context.
62) The bogus Sarah Palin Banned Books List – Take a look at the list below and you’ll find books Gov. Palin supposedly tried to ban…that hadn’t even been published yet.The smear merchants who continue to circulate the list also failed to do a simple Google search, which would have showed them that the bogus Sarah Palin Banned Book List is almost an exact copy-and-paste reproduction of a generic list of “Books Banned at One Time or Another in the United States” that has been floating around the Internet for years.
The book-banners Hollywood ignores:
If book banning is such a life-and-death issue to these celebrity foot soldiers for free speech, where were they four years ago when John Kerry and his rabid minions were pressuring Regnery Publishing to withdraw “Unfit for Command” from bookstores? Where were they when members of the Borders Books Employee Union were openly advocating sabotaging book sales?
Where were they when left-wing hit man David Brock of Media Matters for America sent a demand letter to Wal-Mart, Amazon.com, and Barnes & Noble urging them to pull “Unfit for Command” from their shelves?
Where were they two years ago when two Democrat lawmakers, New Jersey Assemblywomen Joan Quigley and Linda Stender, called on merchants to ban the sale of Ann Coulter’s book, Godless,” because of her remarks about anti-Bush 9/11 widows.
Where were they in 2005, when a University of North Carolina law professor, Eric Muller, called on his blog readers to get one of my books banned from a national parks bookstore? Where were they when J. Millard Burr and Robert O. Collins’s “Alms for Jihad” was banned in Britain; Robert Spencer’s “The Truth about Muhammad” was banned in Pakistan; and “The Jewel of Medina” was banned, well, everywhere?
63) The Problem with the Media’s Palin Coverage (via Michelle Malkin):
I usually don’t encourage complaints about press bias. Of course the mainstream media is biased to the left; everyone knows that, except possibly the mainstream media itself. So the only alternative is to take that bias into account and find ways to push back against it and to go around the mainstream media to connect with the voters directly. In balance, I think this turns out to be an advantage for the Republicans and a disadvantage for Democrats, who frequently mistake the adulation of the press for the support of actual voters.
That said, I have never seen anything like the wave of hostility and contempt aimed at Sarah Palin from the moment she was nominated. This press partisanship is a crucial part of the story, because it explains the difficulty of discovering who Sarah Palin is. And ironically, the pompous hostility of the press has served as a foil which Palin has used to increase her popular appeal.
Most of these smears were limited to the Internet–but some of them made their way into the mainstream media, and all of them have been widely accepted as truth by those who want to dismiss Palin.
It is clear that the press wants their man Barack Obama to win–and as a result, they have obscured rather than illuminated our attempt to make an objective assessment of who Sarah Palin is, how she thinks, and what she stands for. And as I have pointed out, the worst consequence of this transparent bias may turn out to be that the press has destroyed the credibility it would need to make valid criticisms of Palin.
64) Daily Kos: Palin thinks Pledge written by Founding Fathers:
Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance
JLFinch’s diary :: ::
Ok.
First, the Pledge of Allegiance was not written by the Founding Fathers. It was written much later. Secondly, the words “under God” were not originally part of the Pledge. “Under God” was added even later.
Above extremely/intentionally poor exegesis is debunked by none other than Ann Coulter – As anyone can see, Palin was not suggesting that the founding fathers “wrote” the Pledge of Allegiance: She said the founding fathers believed this was a country “under God.” Which, um, it is.
65) Today’s Palin Scandal… She Wears Designer Clothes! …Update: Glowing Remarks for Michelle Obama:
The New York Post reported:
But she’s springing for designer labels. One source familiar with Palin’s primping posse told us, “They do not want the American public to know that Palin is using stylists or that she is paying for expensive clothes this early on in the campaign.”
UPDATE: Then there’s Michelle “proud of her country” Obama. She was just picked as one of People’s 10 best dressed women this year.
66) Miserable provocateur rails against conservative women again – So, here she is again — going after Sarah Palin by imagining her gang-raped and lambasting her as a “turncoat bitch” and a “whore.”
Palin-basher Sandra Bernhard loses gig over gang-rape joke – Bernhard was supposed to be a featured speaker at the October 16 event “Funny Women … Serious Business” put on by the Boston-based Rosie’s Place, a domestic violence shelter for women. Public relations director Leemarie Mosca told AP about the cancellation and said the comments were offensive to many of the victims the shelter helps as well as its staff and volunteers.
67) Failed Comedian Doug Stanhope’s Tasteless Pro-Abortion Publicity Stunt – As a comedian, Doug Stanhope may be an abject failure, but at least he has the smarts to know how a career is jumpstarted. He has offered Bristol Palin $25,000 to get an abortion.
Bill Maher’s Site Encourages Bristol Palin’s Fiancé to Abandon Her – Bristol Palin hasn’t taken up Doug Stanhope on his offer of $25,000 to get an abortion, so the moonbats infesting the entertainment industry have tried a new tactic to break up her young family — encouraging her fiancé Levi Johnston to abscond. From the always execrable Bill Maher’s Real Time.

68.) Hope, Change & Lies: Orchestrated “Grassroots” Smear Campaigns & the People that Run Them – Very long, in-depth article at The Jawa Report that delves into who exactly is behind the torrent of anti-Palin smears:
Evidence suggests that a YouTube video with false claims about Palin was uploaded and promoted by members of a professional PR firm.
The family that runs the PR firm has extensive ties to the Democratic Party, the netroots, and are staunch Obama supporters.
Evidence suggests that the firm engaged in a concerted effort to distribute the video in such a way that it would appear to have gone viral on its own. Yet this effort took place on company time.
Evidence suggests that these distribution efforts included actions by at least one employee of the firm who is unconnected with the family running the company.
The voice-over artist used in this supposedly amateur video is a professional.
This same voice-over artist has worked extensively with David Axelrod’s firm, which has a history of engaging in phony grassroots efforts, otherwise known as “astroturfing.”
David Axelrod is Barack Obama’s chief media strategist.
The same voice-over artist has worked directly for the Barack Obama campaign.
This suggests that false rumors and outright lies about Sarah Palin and John McCain being spread on the internet are being orchestrated by political partisans and are not an organic grassroots phenomenon led by the left wing fringe. Our findings follow.
Bloggers sniff out anti-Palin astroturf campaign– and the cover-up begins Updated with Ethan Winner response – Now, here’s the juicy part. Within an hour of publication of the Jawa Report’s investigation, “eswinner” deleted the smear video that he had uploaded several times on September 11. “Eswinner” didn’t just delete the Palin/AIP smear ad and his entire account. A related YouTube account, “Gocamerica,” that was spreading the lie has now also tried covering its tracks and has been closed. Ace and Dan Riehl are tracking the cover-up

71) O’Reilly Website Hacked!… Leftists Post Info on Premium Members – Leftist hackers broke into Bill O’Reilly’s website and posted information on his premium members at the Wikileaks website. The criminals were upset with the way O’Relly reported on the Sarah Palin “hacker” attack.
FBI & Secret Service Close to Indicting O’Reilly Website Hackers – The FBI and Secret Service are close to indicting some of the perpetrators and we will keep you posted when the arrests are made. Rest assured that we are on this. Our defense of Sarah Palin has led some criminals to attempt to disrupt our enterprise.
72) Washington Post Cartoon Mocks Pentecostal Speaking in Tongues:
73) Newspaper hires fake Sarah Palin – The NY Daily News paid a Sarah Palin look-a-like to wander around the city and provoke reactions. The Daily News must have been disappointed — because they loved the fake Sarah in The Big Apple as much as the real one.
74) The Jann Wenner slime machine cranks up again – Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she’s a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power. Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she’s the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV — and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the base energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation…
75) Desperate & Crazy– Campbell Brown Rants About McCain’s “Sexism” – “Tonight I call on the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment,” said Brown. “This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong. She is tough. She is confident. And you claim she is ready to be one heart beat away form the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff. Allow her to face down those pesky reporters…
76) EXCLUSIVE: Ex-brother-in-law of the brother of enstranged wife of Palin lover is “insider” with knowledge of affair – He swore it. In an affidavit. It must be true.
77) A debate “moderator” in the tank for Obama – On Thursday, PBS anchor Gwen Ifill will serve as moderator for the first and only vice presidential debate. The stakes are high. The Commission on Presidential Debates, with the assent of the two campaigns, decided not to impose any guidelines on her duties or questions. The title of Ifill’s book? “Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama.” Nonpartisan my foot.

80) Liberal Media Rips Palin– Defends Violence Against Iranian Women
81) The Palin Smear Goes Viral:
“Viral attacks are where it’s at in 2008!” — Geekesque – They intentionally mislead the audience by using only partial quotes. Like the Ethan Winner video, they provide some radical quotes by party members. They then quote Palin addressing the Alaskan Independence Party as, “I share your party’ vision…” in such a way as to make it sound like she agrees with those radical quotes.
82) A gift for Gwen Ifill – Ifill’s “brilliant baby cousin” weighs in on Sarah Palin (hat tip – Chris R.), whom she calls “offensive to black women”:
“From the first day, Palin presented herself as shooting a bear in the morning, field dressing it, cooking up the breakfast, diapering the babies, passing legislation in the afternoon, cleaning the house, satisfying her husband, etc., etc., etc. And it’s just not true,” she wrote in an e-mail interview. “It’s hard to be an average working mom, really hard. And when women who are privileged present as though they have it all together, it’s offensive to black women.”

Yes, it’s that slavering Chris Matthews at it again. His leg was not tingling last night. His mouth, however, was itching to tear down Sarah Palin.
Her sin? Looking into the camera (via Newsbusters):
You know what I think of people when they come on “Hardball,” and they look at the camera, I think they’re dolts.
If you watched the first presidential debate, then you noticed how much time Obama spent looking into the camera.
87) Palin-bashing Associated Press cries “RAAAACISM!” – Putting the “Ass” in “Associated Press,” one of the wire service’s Obama water-carriers attempts to smear Sarah Palin as a racist for spotlighting Barack Obama’s longtime relationships with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.
88.) Outrageous!… California Nurses Union Airs “Dead McCain” Ad! …Update: Sick Ad Distorts the Facts! – Could you even imagine if a conservative group were to run dead Obama ad? Could you even imagine? The liberal California Nurses Union is running an ad showing John McCain’s heartbeat flatline. Dead McCain. Then they smear Governor Sarah Palin for the rest of the ad.
89) CNN Bias: Declares Biden the Debate Winner in an Even Count – After the vice presidential debate on Thursday, CNN’s Soledad O’ Brien ran a focus group of self declared Republicans, Democrats and undecideds. Then she quickly declares Biden the winner and calls it a day. Hey, how about a roll call, Soledad? Now to my eye, it looks pretty evenly split. I counted 12 for Biden and 11 for Palin.
CNN’s “overwhelming” Obama bias
90) P.D.S. on NBC’s Sunday Night Football – Just after 8pm tonight during the NBC Sunday NIght Football games summary, Keith Olbermann said that after suffering a concussion, Buffalo Bills QB Trent Edwards said that he could see Russia from here — a slap at Republican VP Candidate Sarah Palin.
91) PDS Alert: Media women attacking baby Trig again – “Barbara Walters said on today’s View (October 6th) that Sarah Palin having her baby at the debate ‘bothered her.’ UN-REAL.”
92) X-Rated Olbermann – Keith Olbermann denounced Rich Lowry’s positive appraisal of Sarah Palin’s debate performance as “soft core porn,” and sputtered: I don’t really care if you sat there last night during the debate and masturbated. But was it really necessary to tell America about it?
93) PDS Alert: Wearing white is RAAAAACIST! – “Palin is wearing white again, inciting the racist crowds. She should just drop all pretense and put on her white hood and light up a cross. She is a despicable human being.”
94) Now the Palins are ‘Un-American’ – The Republican ticket is working hard this week to make Barack Obama’s tenuous connection to graying, ’60s revolutionary Bill Ayers a major campaign issue. But the Palins’ connection to anti-American extremism is much more central to their political biographies.
95) Saturday Night Live’s “standards” and the other missing sketch – Is this the SNL ethics policy? Calling liberal Democrat politicians and prominent public figures in the subprime crisis “corrupt” violates the show’s “standards,” but smearing a politician’s husband and children with an incest jibe is fair game?

98.) Caution: Ignorant, gun-hating MSM at work:
Newsweek put a 2002 photo of Sarah Palin holding a shotgun on its latest magazine cover. The editors are clearly trying to freak out their liberal readership.
But their latest PDS ploy is going to backfire. She looks fabulous and it’s a reminder that she isn’t just a conservative elitist who sits in a Manhattan office or in the ivory tower bloviating about the Second Amendment. She practices what she preaches:
[Above larger image from Ace of Spades HQ]
The wonderful thing about the Palin effect is that it’s so effectively exposing MSM hatred and ignorance. Check out LA Times blogger Elizabeth Snead’s moronic comments about the Palin cover: “Hey, is that even the right way to hold a rifle? Can’t you shoot your foot off like that?”
I suppose that liberals would never know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun – being that you rely solely on the bravery and honor of patriotic Americans to protect you.
Is that a right way to hold a rifle? No. But it is an appropriate way to hold a breech loading shotgun. Which that is.

99) The Obama Witch Project: RAAAAAAAAACISM!:
*Obama supporters on the heavily-traffic Democratic Underground website (where such mainstream Democrats as Elizabeth Edwards hang out) saw the ghost of the Ku Klux Klan in Sarah Palin’s white suit jacket. Yes, white clothes = racism.
“Palin is wearing white again, inciting the racist crowds. She should just drop all pretense and put on her white hood and light up a cross. She is a despicable human being,” fumed a DU poster. “Grand Princess of the KKK,” proclaimed another. They’re “trying to send subtle signals to their rabid base,” yet another member of Obama’s rabid base declared.
- Such paranoia is not limited to the fever swamps of the Internet. Earlier this week, the Associated Press disseminated an “analysis” accusing Palin of injecting a “racial tinge” into the campaign because she criticized Obama for his longtime relationship with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Palin’s comments were completely unobjectionable: “This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America.”
Democrat Rep. Yvette Clark divined segregationist intent in Palin’s references to Joe Six Pack and hockey moms. “It leaves a lot of people out.”

100) Crush the Obamedia narrative: Look who’s “gripped by insane rage” (go to link for citations, images and vids):
The Obamedia is attempting to set yet another false narrative: The narrative of the McCain “mob.” McCain-Palin rallies are out of control, they wheedle. Conservatives are mad! They’re yelling mean things about Obama and calling him names! It’ scaaaaary!
Let’s talk about “insane rage” and “violent escalation.”
This is insane rage — Madonna bashing Sarah Palin and shrieking “I will kick her ass.:”
This is insane rage — Sandra Bernhard bashing Sarah Palin and cursing her head off with hate warping her crazed face:
This is violent escalation — Palin-hating artwork designating her an “M.I.L.P.” (Mother I’d Like to Punch).
This is insane rage and violent escalation — trendy “ABORT Sarah Palin” stickers:
This is self-admitted insane rage: Why Sarah Palin Incites Near-Violent Rage In Normally Reasonable Women.
This is insane rage — the Democratic Underground indulging in name-calling the MSM ignores:
And the sickest attack of them all — mocking Palin for being a nursing mom:
This is insane rage and violent escalation — pointing a fake gun at the head of a Sarah Palin likeness sitting next to a cardboard cutout of her daughter in a museum display:
The Obamedia diaper-wetters are gripped with fear over a few over-the-line catcalls at McCain-Palin rallies. Ana Marie Cox is even making things up to advance the narrative.

101) PDS mobsters in Philly: “Let’s stone her, old school;” plus: the c-word rears its ugly head – Outside on Broad Street, waiting for Palin to leave, one man was heard saying: “Let’s stone her, old school.” Another protester shouted at someone entering the hotel, “Wait till your daughter wants an abortion, you hypocrite.” More model behavior from the paragons of civility (via Jim Treacher): “Sarah Palin is a c**t.”
ANGRY LEFT Protest C*nt Sarah Palin in Philly – Via philly protests palin at Flickr: Sarah Palin, the Killa from Wasilla herself, showed up in Philly. ACT-UP/Philadelphia, UPenn SDS and lots of Obama supporters were there to greet her. Puckf*cker. Gee, mainstream media… Ya think you could write something about the awful sexist attacks against Sarah Palin sometime?

John Lewis compared the McCain-Palin Campaign to the campaign of noted racist and segregationist DEMOCRAT George Wallace back in the 1970’s. The Obama Camp responded to Rep. Lewis’s racist attack and agreed that the McCain-Palin camp is hateful.
104) Far Left Blog Posts Bogus Palin High School Transcript – Gawker—the same online rag that called me a “Crazed Christ-Loving Re-Virgin”—is engaging in some craziness of its own: It’s asking readers to judge the validity of what it says may be ‘Sarah Palin’s High-School Grades’—but is in fact a forgery made from my SAT scoresheet, which I posted in January 2004.
105) Songwriter Gives Royalties to Abortion Mill in Saracuda’s Name – “I’ve decided to donate the royalties from ‘Independence Day’ during this election cycle to Planned Parenthood, in Sarah Palin’s name. I hope with the additional income provided by the McCain/Palin campaign, Planned Parenthood will be able to help many more women in need.” Liberals tend to speak in euphemisms, a tacit acknowledgment that their agenda is unspeakable. Here “help many more women in need” translates to “kill lots of babies.”
106) More Democratic rage not on the front page:
The sign went up Sunday evening, bold black letters against the stark white background of the marquee at the Colony South Hotel & Conference Center in Clinton: “Country First. McCain/Palin.”
By daybreak, pandemonium had broken loose all across heavily Democratic Prince George’s County. Many local supporters of Democrat Barack Obama, jolted by the message as they headed down Branch Avenue on their Monday morning commutes, grabbed cellphones and BlackBerrys to notify friends. Operators of neighborhood e-mail group lists cried foul to their memberships. The NAACP logged calls. Community leaders demanded boycotts of the hotel, a common venue for Democratic events.
“Businesspeople have to be mindful of the sentiments and sensibilities of their market trading area, and Prince George’s County is overwhelmingly for Obama,” said community activist Arthur Turner of Kettering, who was among those advocating a boycott. “People I have talked to look at the sign as a slap in the face. They feel it was blatant disrespect. . . . I have heard people say they will no longer patronize Colony South because of that disrespect.”
The outcry over the hotel marquee tapped into the passion — and sometimes anger — that has characterized this fall’s presidential campaign. Supporters of Republican candidate John McCain have vented their rage at rallies this week, applauding thunderously as McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, accused Obama of “palling around with terrorists.”
Prince George’s, though, is clearly Obama Country. As the nation’s wealthiest mostly black community, where about 77 percent of registered voters are Democrats, residents have Obama placards in their yards, bumper stickers on their cars and the candidate’s visage on their T-shirts.
The marquee supporting the GOP ticket in “an area that is strongly African American was like putting a stink bomb in the middle of the living room,” said University of Maryland political Professor Ron Walters. “What it does show is the emotions that are around this campaign and this election.”
107) Liberal women still mobbing Sarah Palin and her family – The hate-curdled Joy Behar and her colleagues on The View are still attacking Sarah Palin for having a family and career.
Genius Palin-basher thinks “Black Friday” is RAAAAACIST – Last week, the genius View co-host seriously suggested that “Black Friday” is RAAAACIST. It was left to economics professor Whoopi Goldberg to explain what “in the black” means.
108.) The rage that’s not on your front page – Are a few activists on the Right getting out of hand? Probably. But a couple of random catcallers do not a “mob” make. And there’s an overflowing abundance of electoral rage on the Left that won’t make it onto your newspaper’s front page.
109) Update: Deranged anti-Palin prof cleared – Terrific. The profanity-spewing, nutball professor at Metro State in Denver who required students to write essays bashing Sarah Palin has been cleared of wrongdoing.
110) Obama Supporters May Spew More Hate Than McCain Backers – Obama supporters have planned to lob molotov cocktails at McCain events, for example. Or consider the instances in Michelle Malkin’s roundup or Patterico’s description of an ugly Obama rally. Or read this entry on Andrew Malcolm’s Los Angeles Times blog. Or consider these choice comments from a Daily Kos commenter.

112 Another Example of the Moonbat Media’s Anti-Palin Mendacity – MSNBC’s preposterous Keith Olbermann and his Kool-Aid–guzzling acolytes hate Sarah Palin with a passion just short of satanic. Since all he has on her is her rural background and opposition to abortion, he’s forced to improvise. Here he is pretending that Saracuda tacitly encouraged some maniac to yell “Kill him!” at a rally the other day.
“Baffled:” Secret Service can’t find anyone to corroborate reporter’s “Kill them” claim – Slavoski said more than 20 non-security agents were interviewed Wednesday, from news media to ordinary citizens in attendance at the rally for the Republican vice presidential candidate held at the Riverfront Sports Complex. He said Singleton was the only one to say he heard someone yell “kill him.” “We have yet to find someone to back up the story,” Slavoski said. “We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it.”

S. television networks devoted more time to Republican candidate John McCain, but “the material that makes up that time difference can be assessed as negative.” The Russian study also said Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential pick, has been subjected to more criticism than her Democratic counterpart, Senator Joe Biden.

126) Even Female Conservative Pundits Embrace Palin Bashing – For a number of weeks now, conservative Beltway insiders Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan, among others, have narrowed their sights not on the Democratic candidate for president, but the Republican candidate’s running mate. Sarah Palin has brought out something in them that rivals the ‘80s sitcom Full House when it comes to the shudder factor. (Via Michelle Malkin.)

128.) Christopher Hitchens ignorantly claims Palin opposes scientific research – “This idiot woman, this blind, short-sighted ignoramus, this pretentious clod, mocks basic research and the international research community.” No, this is a psychotic attack on Governor Sarah Palin by an Obama supporter. Palin’s sin? Her opposition to earmarks, in particular an earmark for olive fruit fly research. The same earmark recently provided my good friend Christopher Hitchens to express his contempt for Palin and justify his endorsement of her opponents.
129) Larry Eagleburger eats crow:
Former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger dissed Sarah Palin on NPR yesterday: “I can’t say that she would be a genius in the job, but I think she would be enough to get us through a four-year — well, I hope not. … Get us through whatever period of time was necessary, and I devoutly hope that it would never be tested.”
On Neil Cavuto’s show this afternoon, it finally dawned on Eagleburger that neophyte Barack Obama is far less prepared than Palin — and he offered an apology to Team McCain.

133) Magazine cover: Obama vampire nails sexy Palin – The Halloween issue of a New York news magazine is raising some eyebrows as its cover depicts a smiling Barack Obama as a vampire carrying a scantily clad Sarah Palin who has been pierced with a spike through her heart. The image also displays a giant cross emanating from the wound in “Palin’s” chest. (On tip from wits0).
134) Sarah Palin Accused of Inspiring Death Threats Against Moonbat Messiah – We are now asked to believe that Sarah Palin’s daring to mention that Obama has long associated with terrorists (Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Rashid Khalidi, who knows who else) has inspired death threats against the Moonbat Messiah.
135) Here’s the media’s sendoff to Palin – the ‘lightning rod for controversy’ – Sarah Palin has no anti-Semitic pastors or friends, no domestic terrorists in her background, no racist preachers screaming G-D America at the pulpit… But, to the media she represents a “controversial” figure.
136) John McCain Defends Sarah Palin on Leno Show (Video) – McCain dismissed the nasty media attacks that Sarah Palin did not help the Republican ticket this year. However, the AP continued to bash Sarah Palin insisting that she was a detriment to the campaign.
Heckuva job, McLame – From the man whose best-sellers include “Why Courage Matters” and “Character Is Destiny” comes this underwhelming reaction to the cowardly smearing of Sarah Palin by his own unnamed staffers: “These things happen.”

Grossmann says 4 women confronted here, one of them grabbed her, began shouting at her, and wouldn’t let her go.
“After about 5 minutes or so I just got really sick of it, just holding me there by force. So I kind of pushed her back and started walking away. She grabbed me by the shoulder, I turned around, and she punched me in the eye,” she said. Bruce Grossmann, her father, says the punch caused his daughter to hit her head on a wall behind her.

In the press galleries at the convention, journalists wrinkled their noses in disgust when Piper, Ms. Palin’s youngest daughter, was filmed kitty-licking her baby brother’s hair into place.
142) This is what certifiably unhinged looks like – Maybe Palin had an anomalous pregnancy that showed far, far less than her previous ones, one that went from close to nothing to a serious bump in two weeks.

I really believe that some people’s limbic brain dominates more than others. Our limbic brain controls all our emotions and it causes us to be irrational. Our limbic brain goes into action when we’re ecstatic, frightened, when we’re having sex. I really believe that if a neuroscientist examined the brain of somebody who identified as a conservative, they would find it’s wired differently.

169) Like Clockwork… GMA Says Palin Is “Polarizing” For Warning America About Socialism – Today Good Morning America said Palin was “polarizing” for warning America of the destruction being wrought on the nation by Obama’s historic spending and power grab.

More Palin Bashing– Letterman Makes Pregnant Jokes About Her 14 Year Old Daughter Willow… Sarah Palin Responds – David Letterman: Isn’t It Funny That Bristol Palin Got “Knocked Up,” Just Like I Knocked Up My Girlfriend? Correction: The Palin Daughter in Question Was Willow. Correction: Commenters tell me that the daughter who accompanied Sarah Palin to the game — and the one who Letterman would therefore be talking about — is Willow Palin, not Bristol. Willow was born in 1995 and is therefore 13 or 14.
Still Digging… – On Monday night David Letterman made a disgusting “joke,” to the effect that 14-year-old Willow Palin was “knocked up by Alex Rodriguez” at a baseball game. As if worried that this attack wasn’t vile enough, he followed it up last night with this: The toughest part of [Sarah Palin’s visit to NYC] was keeping Eliot Spitzer away from her daughter.
Letterman Says He Wasn’t Talking About Palin’s 14 Year-Old Getting Knocked Up at Game– He Was Talking About Her 18 Year-Old …Invites Her On Show – “These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter. I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl…. Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes. Did I suggest that it was okay for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No.”
NY Times Airbrushes Letterman’s Willow Palin Sex Jokes From Their Website – “The transcript we received omitted the joke referred to in the comments below, presumably for reasons of taste. Had the transcript included the joke, we would not have run it. Monologue jokes are routinely edited for taste and brevity.”
“Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too.” – Todd Palin
Sick. Arianna Huffington and Donny Deutsch Attack Sarah Palin For Letterman’s Willow Palin Rape Jokes (Video) – Sick. Arianna Huffington and Donny Deutsch attack Sarah Palin for the Letterman Willow Palin rape jokes. They say Palin was displaying “manufactured outrage” over Letterman’s disgusting sex jokes:
WaPo Writer Parker: “Flirty” Palin Invited Letterman Slut Attacks – “So, maybe when you play the flirt and invite males to see starbursts bouncing off the walls (Lowry again), then maybe you invite the sexual punchline.”
Top Ten Possible Letterman Reactions to Fallout Over Willow Palin Rape ‘Joke’ – 10. Listen, I didn’t know Willow Palin was 14. She was born in 1995. I thought she was still 13.
David Letterman’s Stupid Blame-Dodging Tricks – So now we’re supposed to accept that Letterman wasn’t lashing out at Sarah Palin through her 14-year-old daughter — which would be totally sick, after all — but through her 18-year-old daughter. He was just too lazy to make sure he was publicly humiliating the correct offspring of the person he clearly loathes, right?
Palin to Lauer: “You’re Extremely Naive If You Believe Letterman’s Explanation” –
Matt Lauer: Since David Letterman is not here let me just say that he did did not mention Willow by name and that he went on to say that he was not referring to your 14 year-old daughter. I do want to…
Sarah Palin: Hey Matt… Matt… OK Matt I would say that you and anybody else are extremely naive to believe that very convenient excuse of David Letterman's. It took him a couple of days to think of that excuse and 'Uhhh… No, he wasn't talking about my daughter that was there with me at the game, the 14 year-old. He was talking about some other daughter.' Well I think it was a weak excuse and regardless it was a degrading comment about a young woman and I would hope that people would rise up and decide it's not acceptable. Why do young girls have such low self-esteem in America when we think it's funny for a so-called comedien to get away with making a similar remark as he did….
State Run Media Slams Palin for Defending Her 14 Year-Old Daughter – The Media continued their mysogenist attacks against conservative Sarah Palin today. Evidently when a conservative woman stands up for herself and her 14 year-old daughter against rape jokes– it’s “awkward” according to the state run media.
List of David Letterman’s Advertisers – Tell the following four companies you will no longer be patronizing them so long as they continue to advertise on Letterman.
David Letterman: Perv – Michelle Malin’s syndicated column today fixes the spotlight on David “The Perv” Letterman’s contempt for women. Over the past year, Letterman has displayed his sexist, elitist stripes in jibe after jibe aimed at Palin. Taken cumulatively, Letterman’s mockery is about much more than expressing contempt for the popular GOP governor. It’s a handy device to deride a broad class of working-class and middle-class women he holds in contempt.
New York Politician Calls on CBS to Fire Letterman– Austin Businessman Files Complaint With FCC – “Firing Mr. Letterman would send a clear message that CBS will not tolerate any of its employees — even an established media figure like Mr. Letterman — making demeaning and degrading comments about women.”
Letterman Folds… Apologizes For Sick 14 Year-Old Willow Palin Sex Jokes – Well, my responsibility – I take full blame for that. I told a bad joke. I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception. And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. It’s not your fault that it was misunderstood, it’s my fault. That it was misunderstood.” (audience applauds) “Thank you. So I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke. I’m sorry about it and I’ll try to do better in the future. Thank you very much.”
Letterman’s half-assed apology – Notice that he’s apologizing for the execution of the joke. In other words: If only he had written it more clearly to take aim at Bristol instead of Willow, he wouldn’t have been misunderstood. And he wouldn’t be under the gun having to say he’s sorry for creating the wrong “perception.” He’s sorry he didn’t pull it off better. His initial, impudent reaction is the honest one. And it won’t be forgotten.
Sarah Palin Accepts Letterman Apology On Behalf of Young Girls Exploited By Dirty Old Men – In a statement to FOXNews.com early Tuesday, the Alaska governor said, “Of course it’s accepted on behalf of young women, like my daughters, who hope men who ‘joke’ about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve.”
Real Time, Real Man: Maher Takes His Shot at Palin – In defending his friend, Maher thought Republicans had over reacted and this was just a case of ‘fake’ outrage. Much ado about nothing. He then went on talking about how Letterman had invited Sarah Palin and her young daughter, Willow, to appear as guests on his show but the Governor declined because she thought it would be wise to keep her daughter away from him. Said Maher, “…that’s right, he’s 62 years old, he’s gonna fuck her right there on stage…it would be very wise to keep her, very wise, yes. You know, I’d worry a little more about the 18-year old hockey players who knock up your daughters.” To which his audience of trained seals laughed and clapped and had a good old time.
Via Moonbattery, Letterman: Hate Show with a Dirty Old Man:
Crowds Line Up to Protest “Pervert” David Letterman in New York – An apology from David Letterman was good enough for Sarah Palin – but not for protesters who demanded the late night host’s dismissal Tuesday at a Broadway demonstration. “Fire Dave! Fire Dave!” the crowd of about 50 protesters chanted as Letterman fans filtered into the Ed Sullivan Theater for the show’s taping.
WaPo Writer Blames Sarah Palin For Letterman’s Attacks On Her Children – “It just seemed to me that the David Letterman situation where she whipped that up into a huge scene, bringing in her other daughter Willow and making a big – a big to-do about it when she could have just let it go.

173) Leading Dem Blog Now Posting Disfigured Pictures of Trig Palin – Democratic party operative Linda Kellen Biegel is now posting distorted pictures of Trig Palin.
174) Beware the Christians! – Given the obvious mental imbalance of the author, it’s no wonder the whole article is basically fevered ranting about how Christians want to round up and imprison and execute anyone who doesn’t believe in Jesus and use the government to crush dissent — all the usual paranoid stuff you’d expect from someone who decides to demonize some group he doesn’t like. He, of course, hits today’s favorite target, Sarah Palin, who, despite her rather libertarian record, he’s convinced wants to unleash death squads that kill non-believers, since she was spotted going to church once.
175) Sarah Palin: Revenge of the Vagina (Monologues) – (Links at site) The media establishment has been particularly vicious in its attempt to trivialize her by reducing her to a sexual object. The Associated Press, for example, routinely photographed her as a vice presidential candidate from an angle that emphasized her calves, deliberately playing on images of strippers; Reuters had a more Ensler-like body part in mind when it paired her with a “jacuzzi (sic) floozy”; Yahoo focused on her breasts; Slate, owned by the Washington Post, was reliably Ensler-like when it tagged her as a pornography archetype, the “Sexy Puritan”; and entertainer Sandra Bernhard won applause and laughs from theatergoers and mainstream Washington D.C. media when she warned that Palin would be “gang-raped by my big black brothers” in retaliation for her conservative views.
176) Sarah Palin Responds to Lurch: “John Kerry, Why the Long Face?” (Video) – Earlier this week John Kerry cracked a lame “joke” about Sarah Palin going missing. Today Governor Palin, talking to US soldiers at Camp Bondsteel in Europe, responded.
177) Wonkette & Co. Continue Jihad Against Trig Palin – Wonkette sneeringly refers to Trig as “the New Jesus,” “the Sacred One,” and “the Holy Infant,” and denounces Saracuda for using him “as a cheap political prop” by holding him in public. The post is illustrated with another nasty photoshop of Trig, with links to plenty more.
178.) All Things Palin Related – I was aghast when I read Sullivan’s article today. It had to be the cheapest most self righteous load of crap he’s ever written, and that says a lot.
179) Palin-Basher Liz Trotta: Palin Is Inarticulate and Undereducated… Used Her Looks to Get Ahead– Maureen Dowd is Smart & Funny (Video) – Liz Trotta, an east coast Palin-hater, attacked Sarah Palin again today. Trotta said Palin Palin has given the media “lots of raw meat” and is “inarticulate and undereducated” and hadn’t accomplished anything.

182) Sarah Palin Killed Jacko! – FEMALE CALLER: I also have a theory about Sarah Palin as well and I’m going to put it out there on radio, hopefully someone can investigate. But, I think maybe she did something to Michael Jackson. Maybe there’s a scandal there. Maybe she’s stepping down because something’s about to come out.
183) TIME Mag Teases Conservatives – No doubt, it’s probably another enthusiastic endorsement of Governor Palin and her family (kidding).
184) Media Continues to Use 18 Year-Old Kid to Bash Sarah Palin – Levi Johnston made headlines again. The media sought out this teen hockey player to explain Governor Palin’s resignation as if he’s really qualified to comment on the governor’s political decisions.
185) Reporter: ‘We Took Sides, Straight and Simple’ Against Palin – In the 2008 election, we took sides, straight and simple, particularly with regard to the vice presidential race. I don’t know that we played a decisive role in that campaign, and I’m not saying the better side lost. What I am saying is that we simply didn’t hold Joe Biden to the same standard as Sarah Palin, and for me, the real loser in this sordid tale is my chosen profession.
186) Latest State-Run Media Lie: Sarah Palin’s Hair Is Thinning – Several state-run media outlets including The New York Times, Inside Edition, Keith Olbermann and the WaPo’s Chris Cillizza all spread the lie this week that Sarah Palin’s hair was thinning due to stress.

But, for some odd reason the AP forgot to mention that Governor Palin has defeated every bogus ethics complaint filed against her.
189) Shocker!… NY Times Publishes Major Palin Hit Piece – The New York Times bashes Sarah Palin: Like so much of the advice sent Ms. Palin’s way by influential supporters, it appeared to be happily received and then largely discarded, barely slowing what was, in retrospect, an inexorable march toward the resignation she announced 10 days ago. Not to be outdone, the LA Times posted their own Palin hit piece today.
190) Noted Trig Birther Upset Over Anti-Birther Bill Block – After spending much time ‘just asking questions’ about the circumstances of Sarah Palin’s youngest child Trig’s birth, Andrew Sullivan is now upset that one single Republican blocked a vote which included an anti-birther clause.

198.) Unbelievable: CNN Fact Checks SNL Obama Skit – Does anyone remember any Bush sketch ever being fact-checked by CNN? Well, maybe that’s because Bush wasn’t worshiped like a bronze demi-god by the slobbering cultists of the Mainstream Media. Just to make sure the fawning was complete, they threw in a gratuitous slam on Sarah Palin, naturally.
199) Palin-haters Set to Release Hit-Piece “Going Rouge” On Same Day as Sarah’s Book Launch –
200) Far Left Haters Have Even Infiltrated the Greeting Card Industry:

203) More Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome – Deranged Palin-Stalker Andrew Sullivan — who developed a deranged obsession with the idea that Trig Palin is not Sarah Palin’s son — Now claims it was *she* who was obsessed with *him.* Newsweek, the dying fringe-left publication with plummeting circulation has a new cover story timed to coincide with the release of Sarah Palin’s best-selling memoirs, warning that Sarah Palin is a deadly threat to the GOP and a nation as a whole. MSDNC’s Larry O’Donnell was all but literally frothing at the mouth as he denounced Palin’s best-selling memoir as an “index and footnote free, score settling campaign memoir” possessing “[no] mind numbing charts or graphs, no big words, no scholarly Latin phrases, like caveat emptor.”
Sarah Palin Goes Rogue– Slams Newsweek For Their Sexist Hit Piece – The choice of photo for the cover of this week’s Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this “news” magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The Runner’s World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness – a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation. The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now.
The more offensive Newsweek photo of Sarah Palin – The truly tasteless photo of Palin that no one is talking about is inside the magazine on p. 33, illustrating Christopher Hitchens’s broadside against Palin populism: The dregs at MSNBC tried and failed to get away with faked photos of a sexualized Sarah Palin. Newsweek’s weasels found a way to evade responsibility for their rank sexism by using a photo of a real Palin doll in schoolgirl regalia.
Newsweek editor: Our Palin cover wasn’t sexist – here’s nothing necessarily sexist about noting her physical appeal, even in the course of an otherwise serious political critique, but as a standalone image to introduce a bunch of pieces that dump on her, the subtext seems to be that she’s not worth taking seriously — and that her good looks symbolize that.
Newsweek Illegally Obtained Palin Photo For Sexist Cover – The photographer signed a clause with Runner’s World that stipulated his photos of Palin would be under embargo for a period of one year following publication. He broke the contract by selling the photo to Newsweek.
204) David Brooks on Sarah Palin: “She’s a Joke” (Video) – NY Times quasi-conservative and Obama supporter David Brooks slammed Sarah Palin today on This Week with George Stephanopoulos.
Ouch! Sarah Palin Takes a Swipe at NY Times Critic David Brooks (Video) – Brooks has attacked Sarah Palin several times over the past year. He calls himself a conservative yet voted for socialist Barack Obama.
205) Juan Williams Loses It… Slams Sarah Palin As Self-Centered & a Bad Mother (Video) – Juan Williams attacked Sarah Palin personally yesterday on FOX News Sunday saying she was self-centered and a bad mother. Could you imagine if a conservative would call a liberal politician a “bad mother?” You’d never hear the end of it.
206) Leftist Critic Slams Palin Without Bothering to Read Her Book – Apparently, the dingbat didn’t even need to read the book in order to write a review that unsurprisingly consisted almost entirely of snarky Sarah-bashing. “I cannot claim to have completely read “Going Rogue” — I had to skim the last 150 pages (or more than one-third).”
207) Stunner. State-Run Media Runs 37 Negative Sarah Palin Stories– Only 2 Positive Stories (O’Reilly Video) – The media ran 37 negative reports on Sarah Palin in recent weeks and only 2 positive stories.
208.) State-Run Media Trots Out 19 Year-Old Porn Star to Rain On Palinpalooza – The state-run media is so desperate to bring down Sarah Palin that they are using 19 year-old porn star and deadbeat dad Levi Johnston to smear the Alaskan mother.
209) Bernie Goldberg On O’Reilly: Liberals Detest Palin Because They Detest Middle America (Video) – Bernie Goldberg: “When she was still on the ticket a disease broke out in liberal America- Palin Derangement Syndrome. But I don’t think Bill that they detest her simply because she’s a conservative woman, a pro-Life, pro-gun conservative woman. I think there’s something else that’s working here. Here’s a woman that didn’t go to Harvard, Yale or Princeton. She bounced around at a bunch of colleges before she wound up at the University of Idaho which is practically a crime against humanity among liberal elites. She has 5 kids. Liberals don’t have 5 kids. One of them has Down Syndrome, liberals certainly don’t allow that to happen… They detested her Bill, they detested her because she was so ordinary. Because she was like a Middle America. And you know what? The liberals and the lamestream media, that’s who they really detest.”
210) MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan Apologizes for Using Faked Photos of Sarah Palin – MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan apologized on Monday for using photoshopped images of Sarah Palin firing a gun while wearing a bikini. The pictures, which were first brought to light on NewsBusters, appeared during a November 13 segment on the former governor and also included a doctored photo of the Republican in a black mini-skirt.
211) Democrats Go ‘Berserk’ over Going Rogue – Wow, for somebody who’s supposed to be such a political joke, an Arctic ditz and eminently dismissable as a serious anything except maybe a stay-at-home hockey mom, Sarah Palin is sure drawing an awful lot of attention from Democrats and eager critics. You know how sometimes a friend tells you how much he/she doesn’t really care about someone else. Really doesn’t! And repeats it a sufficient number of times that you become convinced of precisely the opposite?
212) Top Obama Bundler Who Stormed Stage During Sarah Palin’s RNC Speech Admits Meeting With Taliban – One of Barack Obama’s top 500 bundlers who raised nearly $100,000 for the Democratic nominee rushed the stage during Sarah Palin’s speech at the Xcel Center during the Republican Convention. The Secret Service dragged her away.

214) Fearing Obama-bashing, Army limits media access to Palin event at Fort Bragg – [Fort Bragg spokesman Tom] McCollum said the Army did not want the Monday event to become a platform to express political opinions “directed against the commander in chief.” “The main reason is to stop this from turning into a political platform,” he said. “There are Army regulations that basically prohibit military reservations from becoming political platforms by politicians.” He said only one politician can use that platform, “and that person does it as our commander in chief.”…
215) Fox News Poll: Palin Going (Not So) Rogue – Moreover, about six in 10 Americans (61 percent) think Palin has been treated unfairly by the press, according to the latest Fox News poll.
216) Google Magically Reduces Saracuda’s Fan Base –

217) More Sarah, That Should Rattle Some Cage – 1) Andrew “Milky Loads” Sullivan announced in his blog yesterday that he was parsing her book in order to analyze “Palin’s unhinged grip on reality from the very beginning – specifically her fantastic story of her fifth pregnancy…” 2) The hatred-filled lying sacks of crap at DailyKos have been caught red-handed plotting to create a phony Sarah Palin quote and arranging for it to go viral.
218.) Chris Matthews: Palin Supporters White; Must Be Racism at Work – “This is a largely white — almost no minorities in this crowd,” reported MSNBC’s O’Donnell live from the scene. Matthews reiterated, “Well, they look like a white crowd to me,” later claiming, “I think there is a tribal aspect to this thing, in other words, white vs. other people.”
The indelible whiteness of MSNBC – In Michigan, O’Donnell smugly noted that Palin’s fans were “largely white — almost no minorities in this crowd.” Matthews parroted the line, assailing the “white crowd.” Walsh likened the gathering to a “paranoid tea party.” Matthews hammered away at the “monochromatic” scene. Ahem. Check out the masthead of MSNBC TV, “The Place for Politics.” Wear sunglasses and SPF 30 lotion. You’ll need protection from the blinding white glare:
219) San Fransicko Bookstore Considers ‘Going Rogue’ Too Icky to Sell – “Anything like that we wouldn’t carry,” said clerk Emily Stackhouse at Cover to Cover Books in San Francisco. “We’re a small store and it would probably gross us all out. Some things you carry because of freedom of speech, but a book like that is just gross.”
220) Stupid Leftist Tricks: Left Pushing a Video Supposedly Showing an “Angry Crowd” Disapponted that Palin Won’t Sign Their Books – As Just a Grunt (at JWF) explains, one of the women quoted (of course!) by AP seems to be an Obama fan. In the supposedly angry crowd, you hear only one woman droning on “Sign our books” with the exact cadence of “O-ba-ma,” and one heckling male.
Let This Be a Warning to Sarah Palin Fans – Alarum! Alarum! to those awaiting Sarah Palin book signings or other events: folks wielding cameras and questions may not be who they seem. Take, for example, these liberal bloggers. They may start off sounding interested and sympathetic, but these dipstick MoveOn.org lackeys have an agenda: to make Palin fans look as dumb as they think Palin is.
221) Video: When Andrea met Sarah – The fun begins at around 1:40. In Mitchell’s defense, it never quite reaches the point where security has to tackle her.

Norah Comes Armed With Notes To Debate Palin Fan – Have a close look at the screencap [larger image after the jump]. Notice what MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell is holding in her left hand?

226) 5,000 Greet Sarah Palin at University of the Ozarks + Latest Bogus Palin Scandal – The state-run media is reporting tonight that Sarah Palin will not allow foreign reporters at her book signing event.

227) Crazed Palin-Hater Chucks Tomatoes at Former Governor– Hits A Cop In the Face – A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin from the second floor balcony during a book signing event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, MyFoxTwinCities.com. reported. Neither tomato came close hitting the former 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, but did hit a police officer in the face, the station reported.
Tomato Man: Another addition to the Unhinged mugshot collection – Tomato Man is just one in a long line of unhinged, conservative-hating criminal thugs (and not the only left-wing nut with lousy aim).

That’s like the only way a right-wing woman can make it.”
230) A Little Sanity Test – If you see a beautiful woman being tenderly affectionate to her child, congratulations, you’re sane.

232) Mitchell Hails Success of ‘Obama Doctrine,’ Palin’s Wallace-Like Appeal ‘Does Frighten Me’ – Citing all those who “camped out” for the Sarah Palin book signings, Mitchell denigrated her appeal as evidence of how “they are so hungry for a symbol for anyone who can give them answers” it shows “there’s an anger out there” she hasn’t seen since George Wallace in 1968. And that, she maintained, “is the angry populism which is not fact-based, it’s just furious at everybody; angry at Democrats, at Republicans.”
233) If Newsweak Were Any Sappier, They’d Blow Their Noses with Pancakes – Naturally, the people who dare criticize Captain Wonderful are attacked. Glenn Beck is a “weepy wingnut.” Sarah Palin is a “flip-flopping quitter.” Dick Cheney is a hypocrite.
234) Morning Briefs for Tuesday – American singer TORI AMOS has vowed to run for office if former U.S. Vice President candidate SARAH PALIN ever tries to get elected again. Republican Palin’s role in the 2008 White House race divided America, with many questioning her credentials – and the Spark hitmaker insists she’ll run alongside the Alaskan if she ever eyes the vice presidential candidacy again. She says, “If Palin runs again, I’m going to run on a Republican ticket. What I know about Middle Eastern policy could fit on a thumbnail, but I still know more than she does. You have to ask, how could a nation nearly vote in somebody who isn’t qualified for the job?”
235) Joy Behar: Sarah Palin’s Base “Doesn’t Even Read” (Video) – Joy Behar expressed confusion about the success of Sarah Palin’s book because, according to the CNN Headline News/ABC talk show host, a lot of the former governor’s “base doesn’t even read.”
236) The Half-Baked Alaska Award for Pummeling Palin – See what the worst smears of Palin in 2009 were.
237) Wednesday Morning Briefs – Sarah Palin has been stalked non-stop by photographers during her Hawaiian vacation, while Granny Rictus Botox Pelosi has been left alone.

239) Behar et al. Still Bashing Sarah Palin for Being Decent, Normal American – Sarah Palin’s new job as an analyst at Fox News has inspired yet another round of bilious projection from the establishment left. Guess what she was called on dumb-as-a-rock Joy Behar’s show? Dumb, of course. Equally amusing, the slavish worshipers of Dear Reader accused Saracuda of over-reliance on a teleprompter. It gets worse. Soon they were going after Trig again: BEHAR: That baby, they passed that baby around more than a joint at a Grateful Dead concert. Is she going to bring that baby on the set of Fox?
240) Morning Briefs for Friday Item 1: Why Does The Atlantic Still Pay This Guy? – IDS-addled conspiracy theorist Andrew Sullivan has outdone even his previous bizarro obsession with proving Sarah Palin is not actually Trig Palin’s mother. Sullivan now sees a grand conspiracy between the Republican Party, FoxNews, and the Christian Right … probably in cooperation with the saucer people and the reverse vampires… to install Sarah Palin as Queen of the Nazi Christian Theocracy they will install after an incompetent Obama Administration response to a major terrorist incident (which is kind of a given).
241) Mika Brzezinski Is also a Dingbat – Mike Brzezinski, no doubt, considers herself the intellectual superior of snowbilly Governor Sarah Palin. Here, she giggles and mocks Palin’s response to a Glenn Beck question about the Founding Fathers. What, you didn’t know Abraham Lincoln was a founding father?
242) Palin Derangement Syndrome Taken Up a Notch – “I do think maybe it suggests, sadly for Democrats, that she might not be running,” said Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Paul Begala. “Democrats … are pretty confident they can defeat Sarah Palin. She’s not going to beat Barack Obama.”
243) Guttersnipe J-Lo calls Sarah Palin a bad thing in Spanish – “Entertainer Jennifer Lopez, the famous ‘J-Lo,’ once again, displayed a touch of her diva personality last night when she hosted the late night show of comedian George Lopez, ‘Lopez Tonight.’ In the opening monologue, J-Lo, lashed out against former Vice Presidential Candidate, Sarah Palin, calling her ‘la cabrona’…” [the b-word] “It is ironic that J-Lo would call Palin “la cabrona” when it is Lopez who has developed a well publicized reputation for being the ultimate b-word celebrity diva. J-Lo’s b-word temper is well known… The Latina entertainer routinely harasses everyone around her and likes ‘to roll’ with a large entourage everywhere she goes.”
244) RCP Piece: Why I Regretted Voting for Obama* – Thinly veiled hit piece on Palin. And Bush to a degree. Before John McCain unwittingly picked a tabloid-magazine cover girl for his running mate, I was leaning toward going Republican this time around. I did the second time Bush was on the ballot and I very nearly did the first time, too. But as soon as Palin climbed out of her igloo and onto the national scene, well, there was no turning back for me.
245) Andrew Sullivan Hits A New Low On Palin (If That’s Possible) – Palin, in contrast, called her own campaign prop “her retarded baby” in private, according to an eye-witness account from the father of her own grandson who lived in her house for months and knew her intimately. “I was just in shock the first time I heard it,” Levi Johnston told CBS. Unlike Sarah Palin, Johnston has not been caught in multiple indisputable lies. I believe him over her. In fact, in any factual dispute, I believe anyone over her.
246) Sarah Palin Haters Show Themselves as Effing R-Words – Some frothing-at-the-mouth left-wing bloggers have attacked Sarah Palin for wearing a black bracelet with the name of her son Track engraved on it. Track Palin is bravely serving in the U.S. Army in Iraq. Supposedly, according to these left-wing military experts fashion critics, it is a horrific, scandalous breach of protocol to wear the name of a live soldier on a black bracelet. Once again, the left’s hate has made them R-worded. Because that’s not what the bracelets are for at all, as a simple Bing search would have revealed. The bracelet Sarah Palin wears is a deployment bracelet, which is available in both black and silver.
247) Genius Feminist Playwright: Earthquakes and Tsunamis Are Proof of Global Warming – ENSLER: Well, I just think the idea that (Sarah Palin) doesn’t believe in global warming is bizarre. BEHAR: Every scientist at every note believes in it but Sarah Palin doesn’t believe in it. ENSLER: And I think we just kind of have to walk around the world at this point and look at what is happening to nature and earthquakes and tsunamis. BEHAR: Right.
248.) Saracuda Not the First to Write Notes on Her Palm – As the absurd brouhaha over Sarah Palin writing a few words on her hand to jog her memory during a speech finally begins to die down, it comes to light that prominent moonbat apparatchik Dianne Feinstein, currently a Senator from the Land of Fruits and Nuts, did the same thing during a debate — in direct violation of the debate rules.
Hand jive – What have the left-wing blogs been raging about? The ink on Sarah Palin’s hand.

250) Morning Briefs for Thursday Item 2: SFW – Let’s check out the latest left-wing hate speech. First, Bill Maher spews some hate against Sarah Palin, the FoxNews audience, and kids with Down’s Syndrome. “Sarah Palin agreed to do commentary at Fox News. Which is actually very similar to her day job — talking to a baby with Down Syndrome.”
251) Latest Lefty Meme: Sarah Palin is… an Elitist – And now, as Sarah Palin as been riding the anti-elitist horse for a while, it becomes the new stupid meme that it’s really Sarah Palin who’s the elitist. Google it! Notice they have no problem at all abandoning their previous trope (elitism is good and only an imbecile would argue differently) and sliding into the complete opposite notion (Sarah Palin is the real elistist; the lefties are in fact… I don’t know, the Common Man being grinded down under her chic heel).
252) Juan Williams: ‘Centerfold’ Palin Successful Because She’s Attractive – Williams thinks his comments are complimentary — could he really believe it is a compliment to say a woman would not be successful if she weren’t a “centerfold”?
253) Morning Briefs for Friday Item 1: She Writes – Meanwhile, some Hollywood lefty is claiming that all the laughter during her Tonight Show interview was canned and the audience hated her and the Palin-haters are gleefully trumpeting the rumor. The deranged piling on never stops. Jeffery Wright notes in the comments (thanks JW, I saw this story but forgot about it) that other Hollywood gossipheads are claiming that she and her “entourage” descended “like locusts” and made off with a bunch of Oscar swag.
254) Kathy Griffin: Sarah Palin Performed Sex Act on John McCain – During a comedy performance in Anchorage, Alaska, Griffin made numerous attacks on Palin and her family, many filled with her usual assortment of obscenities. KATHY GRIFFIN: She was so famous as Governor, you know, when John McCain picked her after meeting her for ten minutes. And, um, that must have been some blowjob.
Lewd Comedian Kathy Griffin Says Sarah Palin Gave McCain a Bl*wJ*b (Video) – By the way, deadbeat dad Levi Johnston escorted her to the stage. He is the father of Sarah Palin’s grandson.
255) State-Run Media Red-Faced Over Palin’s Canadian Doctor Visits – The state-run media was sooooo desperate to find something to attack Sarah Palin on yesterday that they forgot to factcheck their latest smear. On Monday, the leftist media was thrilled to report that Sarah Palin used the Canadian health care system when she was a child. ALSO: Socialized medicine apparently only kicked in in Yukon in 1972, post-Palin.
256) NBC’s Golden Girl, Kathy Griffin: ‘I’d Like to Push Sarah Palin Down the Stairs’ – Playgirl magazine channeling Griffin’s snarl: “Then we went to a gay bar called Mad Myrnas. I asked Kathy what star she’d like to see take a ‘celebrity spill’ and she said ‘I’d like to push Sarah Palin down the stairs.’”
257) Why Do Democrats Have to be such Friggin’ Drama Queens? – Continued – Dramacrats are simpering and wetting their pants because Sarah Palin used crosshairs on a graphic to symbolize congressional districts to target in the 2010 elections.
Figures… DNC Has Its Own “Violent” Target Map Like Sarah Palin’s – The Palin-haters on The View spent a day discussing this violent act by Sarah Palin. In fact, Verum Serum discovered that the DLC website (Democratic Leadership Council) currently has its own target map.
258.) Leftist Issues Death Threats to Palin, Her Family & “Teabaggers” – Media Silent – At least one unhinged leftist is posting death threats to Sarah Palin and her family. Of course, the media is silent.
259) Item #3: Ain’t It Terrible When Folks Threaten Violence Against Politicians? – Except when the politicians are Sarah Palin and Eric Cantor. Then, it’s hunky-dory, apparently.
260) FOX News Raps LL Cool J – Yesterday, after finding out Sarah Palin would be hosting the show the fledgling actor whined on Twitter: “Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palins Show. WOW.” Today FOX rapped Cool J…
261) The HuffPo’s Anti-Religion Religion Blog – Eighty-one percent of the stories and columns (13 out of 16) that focused on Christianity either criticized certain Christian denominations, leaders or beliefs. Five other articles negatively portrayed well-known Christians, specifically Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum; no articles portrayed those three in a good light.
262) Queen Barack Gets P*ssy – The thin-skinned president got rattled yesterday when George Snuffleupagus mentioned Sarah Palin’s criticism of his policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament, saying it was like a kid on a playground who says ‘punch me in the face, I’m not going to retaliate.’
Half-Term Quitter Governor Forces Most Super-Amazing President EVER to Backtrack on Nuke Policy – On Thursday, Chairman Zero sniffed that a former governor doesn’t understand nuclear policy nearly as well as a community organizer. BTW, SNL offered a lame sketch on Saturday that had the Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome club clapping like trained seals.
263) Alan Grayson, You So Crazy! – Grayson said that the Alaskan chillbilly was welcome to return to Central Florida anytime, as long as she brings lots of money with her, and spends it. “I look forward to an honest debate with Governor Palin on the issues, in the unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them,” Grayson added, alluding to Politifact’s “liar, liar, pants on fire” evaluation of much of what Palin has said. Scientists are studying Sarah Palin’s travel between Alaska and Florida carefully. They hope to learn more about the flight patterns of that elusive migratory species, the wild Alaskan dingbat.
264) Hateful East Coast Leftists Attack Sarah Palin Before Her Boston Rally… Media Silent – The unhinged and hateful left is getting revved up for Sarah Palin’s visit to Boston this week. Michael Graham linked to this sickening report from the Weekly Dig in Massachusetts: Could you even imagine if a conservative rag carried a photo essay like this of Barack or Michelle Obama?
265 Hanoi Jane on Sarah Palin’s Popularity: “It Worries Me” – KING: How do you account for her popularity? FONDA: Well, I , I don’t know. It worries me, frankly.
266) Palin-Obsessed Leftists Reduced to Picking Through Garbage – Deranged Palin-haters, determined to go to any lengths necessary in order to find something … anything … with which to smear a private citizen with no government authority … dug through the garbage at California State University — Stanislaus to recover what they claim is Sarah Palin’s contract for a speech given at the university. The document — which was found mysteriously intact amid piles of shredded documents — purports to show that Mrs. Palin requires (clutch the pearls!) first-class airfare to the location of the speech, a nice hotel, and bottles of water at her podium.
267) Palin Supporters Beaten Up by Thugs – Allee Bautsch, chief campaign fundraiser for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and her boyfriend Joe Brown, were savagely beaten Friday night in New Orleans after leaving a Republican party fundraising dinner by a group of thugs who reportedly targeted the couple because they were wearing Sarah Palin pins.
268.) Boston Globe Gives Kyrgyzstan Front Page Coverage – Nothing on Massive Palin Tea Party Rally – Yesterday, the Boston Globe continued the trend. Sarah Palin was going to give a speech in Boston and they didn’t mention it. Over 10,000 people turned out at The Boston Common for the rally.
269) Joe Klein: Criticism of Obama is Sedition – Joe Klein, a fluffer for a declining, little-read propaganda rag called Newsweek TIME, told MSNBC that Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin were “potentially committing sedition” because of their criticisms of Chairman Zero and his regime.
270) State-Run Media: Palin, Beck & FOX Are Going to Cause Right-Wing ‘McVeigh-Like’ Domestic Terrorism (Video) – Today is the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. That means the democratic-media complex is in full blown “smear the conservative” mode.
271) Comedienne Says Sarah Palin Should Pose For Playboy – Larry King Agrees – Larry King interviewed comedienne Sarah Silverman on Tuesday’s “Larry King Live” program. King brought up the left’s favorite target Sarah Palin and asked Silverman whether the former Alaska governor should pose for Playboy. (Has he ever asked this about Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton?)
Silverman said Palin should pose and amazingly… King agreed!
272) Democratic Buffoon: Republicans Engaged in “Stalinesque” Purge – MATTHEWS: It was fear of this theocratic, gun-toting party that begins to look more and more right wing, more and more Sarah Palin than it did two years ago. If this party, the Republicans, keep going over to Palin-ism and gun-toters and 2nd Amendment types, I think a lot of people in the suburbs, sophisticated people of all backgrounds, are gonna say, “That’s not my party.”
273) James Carville is calling Republicans “reptiles?” – First there was Sarah Palin. Now we can add another Republican reptile from the past trying to help the GOP win House races this year – former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.
274) Leftists Wave Vile, Violent Signs At Sarah Palin in Oregon… Media Silent – Leftists wave “Hope She Chokes” signs in Eugene.
275) Liberal NY Writer Hates Sarah Palin and Fox News – At New York Magazine, Gabriel Sherman churns out a long, brown, curly piece of journalism cataloging the millions Sarah Palin has made and laments the corporate machine that has enabled her to do so. A liberal writer is insanely jealous that the only profitable media is on the right, and that Sarah Palin — who didn’t even go to an Ivy League school — made twelve million dollars last year.
276) Larry ‘You Kids Get Offa My Shawn!’ King Jokes About Moose Shooting at Palin’s Helicopter – Remember when the left was in a tizzy because Sarah Palin’s PAC had bullseyes on the districts the GOP was targeting in 2010? Such an image promoting gun violence, even metaphorically, was just terrible, they said. Nobody on that side will say a word though about Larry “you kids get off my Shawn!” King joking with Michael Moore about the moose shooting back at Palin’s helecopter. [Via Michelle Malkin]
277) Andrew Sullivan Is Off His Meds Again – Atlantic Monthly Gay Conspiracy Hack Andrew Sullivan is still insisting that Trig Palin is not Sarah Palin’s son… Inspector Sully is on the case and vows “I haven’t given up on this line of inquiry. Trust me. I have not given up.”
278.) At Correspondents Dinner, Obama Takes Partisan Shots, Also Shots At Private – He had a word for Republican Sarah Palin of Alaska: “Even though the mainstream press gives me a hard time, I hear I’m pretty big on Twitter, Facebook, or as Sarah Palin calls it, the socialized media… (again, taking shots at a private citizen)
279) Progressives Begin the Palin-Bashing 6 Months Early – Her next book is due out November 23. But leftists aren’t waiting until then, they’ve decided to go ahead and start trashing it now. Or, at least, some jealous dingbat at Huffington Post who’ll never know the love of a real man (much less make $12 Million in a single year) has decided to start moaning about it already.
280) Sarah Palin to Lamestream Media: Research Is Your Best Friend – Try It Sometime – Today Sarah Palin corrected the lamestream media for their latest dishonest attacks on her and her family.
281) Funny. Lib Rep. Betsy Markey Whines About Sarah Palin’s Hopey-Changey Attacks (Video) – Pelosi-Democrat Rep. Betsy Markey (D-CO) whines about Sarah Palin’s “hopey-changey” attacks. She can’t help it… She’s got Palin on the brain. Poor thing.
282) Author Joe McGinniss Now Stalking Sarah Palin From Neighboring House; McGinniss’ Son Suggests (Somewhat Humorously) That McGinniss is Obsessed and Deranged – Spring has sprung in Alaska, and with this beautiful season comes the news today that the Palins have a new neighbor! Welcome, Joe McGinniss! He moved up all the way from Massachusetts to live right next to us – while he writes a book about me. Knowing of his many other scathing pieces of “journalism” (including the bizarre anti-Palin administration oil development pieces that resulted in my Department of Natural Resources announcing that his work is the most twisted energy-related yellow journalism they’d ever encountered), we’re sure to have a doozey to look forward to with this treasure he’s penning.
More Leaked JournoList Emails – When Dave (“Who?”) Weigel wanted to bash conservatives about Palin, he asked why we were freaking out over Joe McGinnis invading her privacy, because “any journalist” would jump at that chance. See, that’s the problem Dave: No they wouldn’t. How do I know this? Because they haven’t. Bill Clinton’s a big, important figure to write biographies about; how come no one’s renting the apartment across the street from his wink-wink “executive offices” in Harlem and peeking at him to see who visits him? Same with Hillary. There are a lot of interesting subjects who’d sell a lot of biographies — and for all of them, the lurid promise of exxxtra special access!!! Spy footage!!! would sell even more copies. So why, Dave, if this is something “all journalists” would jump to do, do they not… actually… do… it? It’s because you’re wrong. Not “all journalists” would do this about their subjects. Not because they don’t want to sell more books. But because the peer disapproval from their like-minded liberal colleagues discourages them from spying on Hillary Clinton. And they do it to Palin because none of them care if Palin’s privacy is invaded; in fact, they applaud it. Because she is “The Other.” She is inhuman — and you can treat her worse than an animal.
Move-Out Day for Sarah Palin’s Creepy-Stalker-Guy Neighbor – Palin’s neighbor of three months on Wasilla’s Lake Lucille, author Joe McGinniss, is packing his bags and notebooks and leaving Sunday for his home in Massachusetts to write the book he has been researching on the former governor and GOP vice presidential candidate.
283) Andrew Sullivan’s Knickers In a Twist Over Palin’s Fence – Unhinged blogger/amateur gynecologist Andrew Sullivan is deeply bothered that the Palin’s put up a fence to keep new neighbor Joe McGinniss from watching their children. Of course Joe McGinniss doesn’t like it when reporters look in his backyard.
284) Caturday Post: Sarah Palin Hatred Justifies Everything – They have even – rather desperately – latched onto the renter’s unsubstantiated claim that the Palins owe her money as further “evidence” to justify their deranged, obsessed hatred. Nobody even bothers to check if the neighbor is full of crap or not.
285) Andrew Sullivan’s Blog Now Officially a Dream-Journal and Online Cry For Help, But Mostly An Online Cry For Help – I had a dream last night that I was lost in Sarah Palin’s garden. It was springtime, and there were bluebells everywhere. I suddenly realized where I was and tried to get out to the street. But there was just more garden …
286) Media Starting to Run With Rumor That Sarah Palin Got Breast Implants – The liberal blog Wonkette asked if Palin had purchased herself a couple of “luxury items,” and of course HuffPo ran with it. Then somebody at the Boston Herald picked it up. Then the Toronto Sun. Then Fox Boston.
287) Shocker. Newsweek Compares Alvin Greene to Sarah Palin – That didn’t take long. They sure must hate Alvin Greene… Newsweek compared popular democrat Alvin Greene to Governor Sarah Palin. Maybe Greene will ignite the liberal base like Sarah Palin did in ‘08? If Alvin really is like Sarah Palin.
288.) Newsweek Takes Another Shot at Palin on Cover: ‘Saint Sarah’; Palin Responds – This time she is featured as “Saint Sarah: What’s Palin’s appeal to conservative Christian women says about feminism and the future of the religious right” in Newsweek’s June 21 issue. Palin is depicted with halo on the cover for the story written by Lisa Miller, which attempts to rationalize Palin’s convictions about the issue of abortion and her Christian faith. “Haven’t seen it, but if the title and what I hear about the content is any indication of where Newsweek is going, it is no wonder Newsweek is doing so poorly,” Palin said. “People are not reading that stuff. It is not relevant. It’s not interesting stuff that they are making up and writing and that’s why they are going down.” [For real idolatry of political figures, see the current 108 adulations of the Obamessiah]
289) Is Feminism All About Abortion? You Betcha! – At the Washington Post, atheist dingbat Susan Jacoby is apoplectic that pro-life women are running for office. Sarah Palin, the Tea Party’s Red Queen, is the personification of the two strands in right-wing thought and politics. And Palin is the mistress of the art of claiming moral standing as a result of what she does with her reproductive system. Remember all the times she exhibited her Down syndrome son on the campaign trail in 2008?
290) Angelo Carusone – Progressive Hero – Carusone is determined to force everyone who expresses an opinion he disagrees with off the air. “Carusone is mounting similar campaigns targeting Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and CNN.”
291) Oh, Yes, the Huckster is Running – Schmidt writes: “There’s no one who really provides a better contrast to Sarah Palin, showing her as an entertainer instead of a serious thinker—and there’s not enough oxygen for both of them.”
292) Recalling Dave Weigel’s Privacy Standard – Before it was simply beyond the pale for private citizen Sarah Palin to complain about a creepy reporter moving in next door: Sarah Palin took to her Facebook account today to inform her readers that Joe McGinniss, an award-winning reporter and author, had rented the house next door…Can somebody explain to me how this isn’t a despicable thing for Palin to do? Apparently in his view reporters have an unlimited right to invade someone’s privacy as far as the law will allow. Yet when his own emails on Journolist were revealed (which breaks no law), he was outraged at the loss of his privacy. Goose, gander, sauce, and schadenfreude.
293) Shocker… Lib Reporters Caught on Tape Bashing Sarah Palin (Video) – Following a live feed of Sarah Palin’s speech at Cal State Stanislaus, reporters are caught openly trashing the former Vice Presidential candidate.
294) Andrew Sullivan Is Not Merely Insane, But No Longer Lucid – Two readers tell him, Hey, sure, I agree with you, it’s impossible to experience a pregnancy the way Sarah Palin said she did. But then three more say “Um, that was my exact experience with pregnancy, too, so I don’t know why you’re saying it’s ‘impossible’ or even especially difficult to believe.” And he just sort of throws his hands up and calls this a “he-said, she-said” dispute in which there is no clear winning side.
295) Slublog: Andrew Sullivan Vs. The Truth – Sullivan is outraged at Breitbart’s offer to buy old emails from a 400 person list. Slublog notes Sullivan had no problems pouring through Sarah Palin’s hacked emails. I’ll also note that Sullivan was among the first to publicize Levi Johnson’s claimed (absurd) recollection of stuff he’d overheard Palin saying in her own home.
—————————
296) Levi Johnston Admits To Slandering The Palins – Apologizes. Probably trying to head off lawsuits from them or a snow machine trip ‘into the woods’.
297) Levi Johnston: Hey, Maybe I Mighta Lied A Little About Sarah Palin For Some Headlines – Among his claims: That the Palins frequently spoke of divorce and that Sarah Palin often referred to Trig Palin as their little baby “retard.” Sullivan took that as fresh evidence that the baby wasn’t hers, of course. Is Sullivan retracting his claim, then? Or at least his endorsement of Levi Johnson’s credibility? No, of course not. He’s imagineering up some conspiracy theories: I suspect, for what it’s worth, that the Palins have used their real weapon against him – his love for Bristol and his kid – to coerce him back into line. For the record, nothing he said struck me as in any way far-fetched. And until he tells us what exactly wasn’t “completely true”, there’s not much more to say. More: Now It’s Levi Johnston’s Sister Who Is The Impeccable Source. Sullivan (no link) now seeks Palin-bashing from Mercedes Johnston.
Bristol Palin, Ricky Hollywood, and Bill Murray – “We got engaged two weeks ago,” Bristol, 19, tells Us Weekly. “It felt right, even though we don’t have the approval of our parents.”…
——————————————
298.) and 299) Andrew Sullivan Admits He’s Afraid of Sarah Palin – I’m guessing mostly of her icky lady-parts but also due to her fertile chillbillyness and conservative political views. But given that she’s raised $866,000 for her political action committee in just the last quarter even the condescending, snarky leftists are starting to get scared too.
300) Its a Consensus: Michael Steele Is Ineffective in Confronting the Socialist Left’s Destruction of America – In tracking the response to the launch of the website and petition to draft Sarah Palin for the Chairmanship of the RNC, we have seen varied reactions ranging from enthusiasm, to curiosity, to skepticism, to racist bigotry, to deafening silence.
301) #6 – Townhall has compiled its list of “100 Americans the Left hates most.” [Sarah Palin comes in at #2 ahead of even Rush and Coulter]
302) Conservative Women Subjected to the Ultimate Insult – Examples are, sadly, legion. Witness, won’t you, the zeitgeist’s nightmare trifecta of largely insufferable women, the Sarah Palin/Carly Fiorina/Michele Bachmann hydra-headed hellbeast of pseudo-women, one part huge cash reserves, one part evil grammar-abusing ditzball psychopath, one part sassy misinformed moxie, overlaid with wonky ideas of motherhood, love of guns and ignorance of sex and reproductive rights.
303) Romney Defends Palin From Own Aides’ Attacks – He — or his people — had a bad reputation in 2007-08 of being a little too eager to jump ugly with Republican rivals, and they can’t seem to break the habit, anonymous aides saying Palin is “not a serious person.” But Romney offers a pretty strong defense of Palin– not begrudging or cutesy at all.
304) WaPo Writer Milloy: It’s Not Just Tea Partiers – White People Are Angry, Vindictive & Racists – Does race have anything to do with it? You betcha.
305) If You Miss Just One Movie This Year, Make it ‘Inception’ – In the clip below, Levitt and Page refer to Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin as evil and stupid respectively, while offering as proof nothing but blank stares and rhetoric about mind-expansion plagiarized from quotes on antique LSD blotters.
306) Palin sparks Twitter fight on mosque – …an aide in Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s City Hall hit back at Palin, first tweeting “@SarahPalinUSA mind your business.” The aide, policy hand Andrea Batista Schlesinger, followed that up with: “@SarahPalinUSA whose hearts? Racist hearts?” Schlesinger deleted both tweets shortly after posting them. [On tip from hutchrun]
307) Today Show Highlights Sarah Palin’s ‘Refudiate,’ Skipped Biden Gaffe – NBC’s Peter Alexander, on Tuesday’s Today show, mocked Sarah Palin for making up a word, ‘refudiate’ in her tweets about the Ground Zero mosque controversy. However when Joe Biden, the gaffe machine that he can be, made an arguably much more embarrassing mistake back in March, of falsely asserting that the Irish prime minister’s mother was dead, the Today show, as Newsbusters’ Scott Whitlock reported then, ignored it.
Media Mocks Palin Over ‘Refudiate,’ But Obama Given Pass For Gaffes – Then there was the time in Februrary, when Obama mispronuncicated “corpsman” as “corpse-man” and the media ignored it, or when he said he had been to 57 states and they excused it, the media has jumped all over Sarah Palin’s invention of the word “refudiate.”
The Refudiation of the Palin Haters – Anyways it turns out that Palin didn’t make up refudiate. It was used in a paper as far back as 1925 and Sen. DeWine also used it as recently as 2006. So Palin 1, critics 0. But of course you’ll never hear a hint of this in the MFM. Or any criticism of Obama’s own made up word, ‘wee-wee’d up’.
308.) Open Conspiracy is No Longer Merely Ajar – Journalists at such “objective” news organizations as Newsweek, Bloomberg, Time and The Economist joined conversations with open partisans about the best way to criticize Sarah Palin. Like an Amish community raising a barn, members of the progressive community got together to hammer out talking points. Amidst a discussion of Palin, Chris Hayes, a writer for the Nation, wrote: “Keep the ideas coming! Have to go on TV to talk about this in a few min and need all the help I can get.” Time’s Joe Klein admitted to his fellow Journolisters that he’d collected the listserv’s bric-a-brac and fashioned it into a brickbat aimed at Palin.
Whoa! New Journolist Documents Show How Liberal Media Formed Plan of Attack to Destroy Sarah Palin – But in many other exchanges, the Journolisters clearly had another, more partisan goal in mind: to formulate the most effective talking points in order to defeat Palin and McCain and help elect Barack Obama president. The tone was more campaign headquarters than newsroom…
Palin Lashes Out at Media for Recently Revealed & PROVEN Coordinated Attacks On Her During 2008 Election – This week Sarah Palin responded to the state-run media’s coordinated attacks on her during the 2008 election.
309) Excitable Andi: My Work Here is Done – Ok, I got a paycheck, dangling it here in front of anybody who wants this action, that says “Andrew Sullivan of the Extreme Vaginal Heartache” is sooo not done with the Trig Conspiracy. Takers? Line up over there. By the water fountain.. no pushing. This one is couched in the beautiful terms of “a reader writes”.
310) Debating Trig Trutherism – At the Journolist. The Daily Caller has the raw emails. If nothing else, this thread exposes the total contempt many in the media had for Sarah Palin. They were perfectly willing to believe the worst of a woman they had only known of for a short time. The only reason for their hatred was that Palin threatened the political fortunes of the guy they hoped would be elected president.
Trig Trutherism, Again – Is the MFM going to cover this? They certainly squealed a lot when some right wingers (almost none in the commentariat) gave credence to the birth certificate conspiracy theory. But here is the creme de la creme of young liberal thought-leaders (well, maybe not creme de la creme, but chosen by Ezra Klein of the Washington Post as being important seriously discussing the ramifications if the wackiest conspiracy theory since 9/11 Trutherism (and maybe wackier than that) is true or not.
Sarah Palin Responds to Liberal Media’s “Demented Conspiracy” Regarding Her Son Trig – How ironic that on a day when we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, The Daily Caller released 15 pages of JournoListers’ email exchanges about a dark and demented conspiracy regarding my son, Trig.
311) Oh No: Enquirer Claims Levi Johnston May Father A New Baby, And Not By Bristol – In the wake of handsome Levi Johnston’s announcement that he’s engaged to Palin’s oldest daughter Bristol, one of his old girlfriends is about to give birth to a child she believes may be Levi’s!
You Can Take The Scumbag Out Of Alaska, But You Can’t Take The Scumbag Out Of Alaska: Bristol Dumps Levi – My guess? This is exactly what it looks like: Levi Johnston was confronted with the possibility of having to actually work for a living, decided against that, pwn3d Bristol into thinking he wanted to reconcile to cadge $100,000 from Us weekly and peddle a reality show, then decided to amp up the fireworks again for the tabloids that are paying his rent, etc.
312) EXPLOSIVE: Leftist Katie Couric Caught on Tape Mocking Sarah Palin On Day She Was Announced as Running Mate (Video) – It shows some tantalizing hints of Couric’s attitude toward the Governor–when talking about first Trig, then Track, Couric says “where the hell do they get these [names]?…” At that point the producer running the sound board shut off the sound because he or she didn’t want to have Couric’s disdainful and contemptuous view of Governor Palin’s children captured on even an internal CBS tape that they never expected would see the light of day.
313) It must be a slow news day for this video to be getting so much attention – Yesterday must have been a slow news day at CBS. How else might one explain a major news organization picking up a story about how Sarah Palin’s Facebook comments are handled?
314) Shocking: Levin Johnston Shopping Tell-All Lie Book About Sarah Palin – Note he previously said, just this past month, he’d lied about her to get attention. Now he’s peddling more lies. He will of course find an eager publisher. And of course he should be published. Of course he should be a published author. After all, he’s accomplished so much — he had unprotected sex with a younger girl, got her knocked up, and then abandoned her. And then, fearing that he soon might have to get a real job, he tricked her into accepting a false marriage proposal so he could sell the story to Us weekly for $100,000 (and also shop a reality show about the sham marriage). Who wouldn’t want to be in the Levi Johnston business?
315) (Misfire) Claim: Teacher Who Razzed Palin Isn’t a Teacher Actually Probably Is a Teacher – The LSM has now decided to use this brief encounter for another one of their spin operations. They claim I – wait for it – “appear to roll my eyes” when the lady tells me she’s a teacher. Yes, it’s come to this: the media is now trying to turn my eyebrow movements into story lines.
THAT WAS NO TEACHER… Unhinged Leftist Who Confronted Palin Is a Singer in a Drag Queen Band (Photo) – The leftists were outraged that Sarah Palin had the nerve to confront this angry “teacher.” Teachers should be respected. It’s just too bad she’s not a teacher. Kathleen Gustafson is a singer in a drag queen band. Kathleen Guftafson is not a teacher. She’s a theater tech… And a liar.
Sarah Palin Confronts Unhinged Palin-Hating Leftist in Homer, Alaska (Video) …Update – From the video: Sarah Palin engaged in a back and forth with a protester in the city of Homer, AK. After the first few talking points the protester ran out of ammo and Ms. Palin cleaned up the mess. What began as a confrontational moment ended with the former Alaska Governor telling her detractor “we probably have a lot in common” and the protester agreed.
Sarah Palin’s Eye Roll: Back and to the Right… Back and to the Right – Update: CNN anchors roll their eyes at Palin rolling her eyes.
316) Levi Johnston (Unexpectedly) Signs Deal For Reality TV Show – We’re told Levi will actually begin shooting in Los Angeles on Monday and then cameras will follow him back to Alaska. No word yet on what the exact format will be…
Levi Johnston’s Reality Show Revealed: He’s Running For Mayor of Wasilla – Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor’s Office” will center on Johnston’s newfound fame as the baby daddy to Palin’s grandson Tripp. Johnston will trade on that notoriety to make his run for the Wasilla City Hall — when he’s not pursuing a career in Hollywood, of course.
Meet The Candidate: Alaska Edition? – Apparently, Levi’s going to be moving back to his hometown of Wasilla, AK and letting a reality show crew follow him around while he runs for the job of Mayor of Wasilla, which comes up for grabs in 2012. Hey, didn’t Wasilla have another famous mayor? One who gave birth to Levi’s babymomma? And ran for VP on the Republican ticket 2 years ago? And who provided 99.999% of the reflected fame that Levi has been basking in lately. But don’t forget….this show is ALL about Levi, not that ignorant Republican Snowbilly Quitter/Slut. My thoughts? Well, think about how tired you are of hearing about the Wacky Antics of this sub-genius. Now picture all the residents of Wasilla, who’ve known him one hell of a lot longer than we have.
Sandra Bullock Re: Space-Invading Levi Johnston: “Get Him Away From Me” – All night long Levi was trying to get close to Sandra,” an award show insider tells me. “He desperately wanted to get his picture taken with Sandra hoping it would show up on the cover of a magazine or at least be able to meet her in person and give America’s sweetheart his phone number. Sandra was having none of it, telling everyone, ‘Get him away from me.'” Levi, who clearly has no idea just how smart Sandra actually is, was seen making several futile attempts to catch her eye, all of which failed. Once he realized Sandra was out of his league, Levi was seen approaching at least three other female celebrities who also all refused to have their pictures taken with the fame-obsessed Alaskan.
Oh Wonderful: Levi Johnston Is Now Soliciting Donations – Yeah, I see a lot of this in his future: Soliciting donations at truck stops, highway rest-area bathrooms. For now, though, all you get for your donation is the chance to support his nascent political career.
317) Oh Dear: Emily’s List Attack On Palin Is Filled With… Ewoks – So here’s their big Palin-Hate ad, featuring… Ewoks, which really isn’t how liberal women ought to be selling themselves.
Ewoks Mock Emily’s List Ewoks – Looks like a video response to this.
318.) All In: AP, Which Can’t Issue a Stylebook Guidance To Mention Democratic Party Affliation in Stories About Democratic Lawbreaking, Issues An Important New Diktat to Reporters – Incidentally, because Tweets are so short, people resort to cutting out spaces and stuff to get their sentences in under 140 characters. The Hill repeated her tweet with those space-saving space deletions — they didn’t, as I just did, put the spaces back in. And I think, as usual, that’s to make her look bad. They tweet, so they know people do this all the time, and Tweets look kind of ugly sometimes… but better to publish Palin’s cramped-together-to-save-space tweet to make her look as if she doesn’t understand there are spaces between words.
319) Palin-Hating NH State Rep. Timothy Horrigan Resigns – A New Hampshire state legislator resigned his office Thursday after becoming the second Democrat in as many days to speculate about Sarah Palin’s death on Facebook. State Rep. Timothy Horrigan made the remarks Wednesday night in a thread discussing the Alaska plane crash that killed former Sen. Ted Stevens. “Well a dead Palin wd be even more dangerous than a live one…she is all about her myth & if she was dead she cldn’t commit any more gaffes,” Horrigan wrote. In a Facebook post, Halloran, who describes himself as “an active local citizen and supporter of NH Governor John Lynch,” said of the plane crash, “Just wish Sarah and Levy were on board.”
320) Creepy Guy Follows the Palins Around the Airport and Films Them – Given all the crazy hate towards her I’m surprised they didn’t have any security with them. Well other than Todd that is. But Sarah and Todd handled it quite coolly and I’m guessing that guy’s picture is now on a watch list of some kind.
321) New Palin “scandal”: She flies first-class to speaking engagements – So she’ll fly commercial unless you want to hook her up with a particular private jet. In fact, she’ll actually fly coach, which ABC doesn’t tell you, under certain circumstances.
322) Palin’s payday: $12 million – Besides, what’s usually not mentioned in these “controversies” is the fact that her hosts use her to make money. ABC does report that at the end of the article by providing both sides of a debate that occurred when Cal State Stanislaus engaged Palin for a fundraiser, when Palin accepted a lower fee of $75,000 for her appearance.
323) Meghan McCain Smashes Palin on GMA with Geeeeorrrrrge Stephanopoulos! – Meghan McCain, Sen. John McCain’s daughter, spoke out about Sarah Palin, writing in a new book that Palin brought “drama, stress, complications, panic and loads of uncertainty” to the losing campaign.
324) Blasphemous Rumors: Palin Claimed to Announce Bid for Presidency on 9/11 (By Lefties) – Ben Smith at Politico noted this about Vanity Fair earlier — apparently the leftist press thinks that if it’s about Palin, any rumor or speculation will count as news.
325) Leftist Issues Death Threats to Palin and Family on Twitter – @sEaTtLe_MeTrO Death 2 Palin family them retarded hillbillies take teabaggers w/ you hateful b*tch, and many more.
326) AFL-CIO Leader Attacks Palin – AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka spoke before the union’s Biennial Convention in Anchorage, Alaska today. In that speech Trumka called Governor Palin a new Joe McCarthy and says she has come “close to calling for violence.” He also objected to Palin’s use of the phrase “union thugs” in her comments and Internet postings.
327) Epic Beatdown of Megan McCain – I think he h8ed on me because I’m young and blonde. How am I supposed to know stuff that happened all the way back in the sixties? But duh! This isn’t shocking. Republican women always get treated so unfair. Except for Sarah Palin — she was totally asking for it.
328) Crom! Help Me Solve The Riddle of Russia! – The Governator took a little jab at former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin while flying over Anchorage today.
329) Ground Zero mosque Imam blames Sarah Palin for ‘growing Islamophobia’ – Imam Rauf said Mrs Palin’s intervention had been “disingenuous” and played a part of the issue being “hijacked by the radicals” over the summer.
330) LIKE, IS SARAH PALIN TOTALLY CONCEITED? – In the October issue of Vanity Fair now on newsstands, Michael Gross reverts to junior high school to issue gossip-girl digs at Sarah Palin.
331) Scarborough on O’Donnell’s Win: “I Blame Sarah Palin” (Video) – I blame—and I’ll just say it: I blame Sarah Palin for last night. I blame Sarah Palin. If Republicans do not win this Senate seat, it’s Sarah Palin, it falls on Sarah Palin’s shoulders. You were talking about how this helps Sarah Palin and other people do. Guess what? If we’re one, if we as a Republican party are one vote short of a majority in 2012, I will come on the next morning—in 2010—I’ll come on the next morning and say it’s all Sarah Palin’s fault. She decided to do the reckless political thing and select somebody she knew couldn’t win in Delaware.
332) The Palin Card – Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic thinks it’s time for the Obama Administration to play the “Palin Card,” setting the former governor of Alaska up as the target for some Alinsky-style frozen personal polarizing.
333) Hunting the Palins – A state investigator is apparently checking whether it was legal for “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Bristol Palin to be in a downtown Anchorage establishment while dancing partner Mark Ballas performed. The question is Palin’s age, 19. She could only legally be in Rumrunners Old Towne Bar and Grill last Friday if accompanied by a parent, spouse or legal guardian over 21. Uh-oh. But wait, there is one more exception: State law also would allow her to be there if it’s been designated as a bona fide restaurant, and she was there only to eat. A “bona fide restaurant” eh? Well, perhaps the AP could have done what I did: look up this gin joint online and see if it really is a food establishment. In the 30 seconds it takes to find and visit their website, you quickly find their dinner menu, which sounds simply outstanding.
Alaska Wackos Force State to Open Investigation on Bristol Palin – The state of Alaska is investigating whether Bristol Palin entered a restaurant/bar illegally to visit her Dancing With the Stars partner.
334) Palin gets protective order against ‘stalker’ – Sarah Palin obtained a protective order Monday against an 18-year-old Pennsylvania man who sent her receipts from a gun purchase, along with a letter saying “he tried to follow the Bible but had evil and wickedness in him.”
335) Heh — Lefty Bloggers Attack Sarah Palin, Impale Themselves – As Perfunction captured, the tweeting twits on the left went crazy, all mocking Palin for historical ignorance. Everybody knows nothin’ happened in 1773. As one lib so eloquently put it, “WTF happened in 1773?” But. Palin was talking to Tea Partiers, and 1773 was the year of … wait for it … the Boston Tea Party. You know, the tax protest that all the Tea Partiers have been referring to for nearly two years running.
336) Racist Bill Maher Trashes White Men, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann & Christine O’Donnell in Sexist Rant (Video) – If an election between Obama and Sarah Palin were held today and only white men could vote, Sarah Palin would be president. Did you know that in 1788, when there were 4 million people in America, only 39,000 of them, the rich white men, got to vote? That doesn’t sound good to you? Well, what I if threw in a picture of my cock?
337) Stunner. Media Misreports Todd Palin Non-Scandal & Leaks His Email Address – My family has worked hard in supporting Joe Miller, so when I heard he’d said something less than supportive of my wife’s efforts, I responded. But it turns out we’d gotten our wires crossed and Joe hadn’t said anything like what I’d been told. So there’s no story here except the fact that the press put our personal emails online again, and again couldn’t even be bothered to conceal our email addresses or take any steps to protect our privacy.
338.) Castro-Supporter Oliver Stone: Sarah Palin’s a Moron, Know-Nothing; Compares Her to KKK (Video) – Castro and Chavez supporter Oliver Stone was a guest on CNN’s Parker-Spitzer show today. Stone called Sarah Palin a moron, a know-nothing and compared her to the KKK.
339) Was Sarah Palin Booed on Dancing With the Stars? (Video) …Update: No – Did Sarah Palin get booed on Dancing With the Stars last night? Some people think so. UPDATE: No.
340) Roger Ebert: Calls Sarah Palin Hitler, Says America Is At Fault for GZ Mosque Troubles – For a piece that is supposed to be about the Ground Zero Mosque (and by the way he never once calls it the Ground Zero Mosque, even as the Imam that was planning the thing has called it that) Palin’s appearance at point 6 on his list makes no sense. Not only that but Ebert goes off on a tangent of a tangent by discussing Palin’s interaction with Dr. Laura and her “N” word controversy. Hello, Rog… mosque? What does Palin and Dr. Laura have to do with the mosque?
341) Vanity Fair Hit Piece Confuses Sarah Palin With Dr. Gina Loudon – When the girl, Piper Palin, turns around, she sees her parents thronged by admirers, and the crowd rolling toward her and the baby, her brother Trig, born with Down syndrome in 2008. … The problem: Trig wasn’t at the event, according to its organizer, Karladine Graves, a 61-year old Kansas City physician and who, in 2009, founded one of the wave of new local conservative groups, this one called Preserving American Liberty. The “woman, perhaps a nanny,” was the boy’s mother, St. Louis talk radio host Gina Loudon, according to the event’s organizer, Graves.
342) Violence Soaked AFL-CIO Prez Calls Palin a McCarthyist? – For his Labor Day weekend trick, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka leveled the charge of McCarthyism at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. This is a bit rich from a guy with blood on his hands — and I don’t say that figuratively, either.
343) WSJ Reporter Sudeep Reddy: “This Palin woman has her facts wrong”…..Sarah Palin: “I got them from YOUR newspaper” – Mr. Reddy takes aim at this. He writes: “Grocery prices haven’t risen all that significantly, in fact.” Really? That’s odd, because just last Thursday, November 4, I read an article in Mr. Reddy’s own Wall Street Journal titled “Food Sellers Grit Teeth, Raise Prices: Packagers and Supermarkets Pressured to Pass Along Rising Costs, Even as Consumers Pinch Pennies.”
344) Your Tax Dollars at Work… PBS’s Mark Shields: Palin Quitting As Governor Is Like Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick – Well it’s sorta similar… Except that Ted Kennedy killed a girl. Teddy Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne after a party on July 18, 1969. Her body was found early in the morning on July 19, 1969. She was reportedly alive an hour before she died.
345) Sarah Palin & Greta Attack “Yellow Journalists” at Politico (Video) – Politico reporters Mike Allen and Jim Vandehei released a scathing report on Sarah Palin last night. Their report included a series of anonymous sources in their hit piece.
346) Bill Maher: Sarah Palin Is a “Lazy Money Grubber” (Video) – Far left socialist Bill Maher on Wednesday repeated his frequent slams against Sarah Palin, calling her a “lazy money grubber” and claiming that “all she does is cash in.” Maher was partly echoing sentiments expressed by Levi Johnston, the ex-boyfriend of Palin’s daughter Bristol.
347) Left Finds New Important Cause to Rally Behind – It’s one thing if Fox News gives Sarah Palin a platform. But when Discovery Communications – home to the Discovery Channel, the “Planet Earth” series, the Science Channel, Animal Planet, and TreeHugger.com – gives a show to Sarah Palin, it undercuts everything the Discovery brand has come to represent.
348.) Bush Calls Into Rush- Says Media Is Making Up Stories About Palin: “I Never Said That and Never Would Have Said That” (Video) – Former President George Bush called into Rush Limbaugh today to talk tax cuts, Sarah Palin and TelePrompters… He says he never dissed Sarah Palin, “I never said that and never would have said that.”
349) Woah! Kathleen Parker Admits: “I Led the Attack on Sarah Palin” (Video) – Remember: Kathleen Parker is the “conservative” on this new CNN show. John Ziegler gets leftist hero Kathleen Parker to admit, “I led the attack on Sarah Palin.” Of course you did, Kathleen. Why else would CNN give you your own show? Do you really not understand this?
350) Gallup: Palin’s unfavorable rating hits new high of 52% – So somehow, just three months before an election in which the GOP would end up utterly destroying Democrats among independents, the favorable rating of one of its most prominent figures just drops off a cliff among those same indies? Does that make any sense at all? It’s especially odd if you read the full Gallup article and see that the tea party’s numbers are steady over time. If Palin’s downturn was the byproduct of independents souring on fringier candidates like Angle and O’Donnell, that downturn should theoretically also appear in the ratings for the movement overall. It doesn’t. So what gives?
351) Member of Reality-Based Community Arrested For Shooting Television Upon Hearing “Dancing With The Stars” Results – Is Bristol getting lots of votes from her mom’s fans? Um, duh, of course. … Liberals in the media are fond of poking fun at the sillier concerns of conservatives. But check out the serious-stuff-going-on-here hearing they give to their fellow liberals indulging in sillier sillinesses.
352) Uh-Oh: George Will’s Toupee Glue is Seeping Into His Brain Again – You see, Sarah Palin has been very naughty. She didn’t complete the homework assignment George Will gave her two years ago. All she had to do was go back to Alaska to “study” (study what? Shaved-ice menus? Her golf swing? Brackets?), finish out her term as Governor, and avoid “distinctly non-presidential venues” like the Dancing With the Stars studio.
353) Dancing With the Stars – As I’ve made clear in the comments, I am not a huge Palinista, but the death threats, DWTS insider who said that the show’s integrity would be harmed if she won, the ex-elected official in Vermont who shot his tv leading to a subsequent stand off, the fake anthrax letter sent to the DWTS studio addressed to Bristol Palin, and now the death threats directed at her partner as well having resulted in increased security tonight, have changed my views on sitting idly by.
354) Gawker to be Probed – Gawker was foolish to publish so much of Sarah Palin’s book, and now the same people who did that ugly, one-night-stand hit piece on Christine O’Donnell get to go through the most invasive of probes.
Palin Challenges Gawker…Gawker Loses – Harper Collins, Palin’s publisher, promptly asked for and received an injunction against Gawker Media, asking that the site be banned from what it termed “further copyright infringement.” The injunction prohibits Gawker from “continuing to distribute, publish or otherwise transmit pages from the book” pending a hearing on Nov. 30.
355) Keith Olberman’s Latest ‘Worst Person in the World’: Bristol Palin – Really? I guess actual decency isn’t part of that whole ‘return to decency’ thing.
356) Governor Palin: A Thanksgiving Message to All 57 States – Of course, the paragraph above is based on a series of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama (I didn’t have enough time to do one for Joe Biden). YouTube links are provided just in case you doubt the accuracy of these all too human slips-of-the-tongue. If you can’t remember hearing about them, that’s because for the most part the media didn’t consider them newsworthy. I have no complaint about that. Everybody makes the occasional verbal gaffe – even news anchors. Obviously, I would have been even more impressed if the media showed some consistency on this issue. Unfortunately, it seems they couldn’t resist the temptation to turn a simple one word slip-of-the-tongue of mine into a major political headline.
357) Oh Boy: Margaret Cho Swears, Swears That Sarah Palin Forced Her Daughter To Do DWTS– “I heard from someone who really should know (really should seriously know the dirt really really) that the only reason Bristol was on the show was because Sarah Palin forced her to do it,” Bristol’s onetime fellow contesant wrote on her blog yesterday, in an entry titled “Pistol Whipped.”
358.) Meghan McCain: Sarah Palin Is Anti-Intellectual and Anti-Education For Using The Term “Blue Bloods” PS: By The Way, I Had To Google The Meaning of “Blue Bloods” Because I Had Never Read This Extremely Common Term Before – Blue bloods = the aristocracy, my poor sweet dumb babboo. Read on as she Googles the term… and still gets it wrong.
359) Jon Stewart To Media: Leave Palin Kids Alone – “Daily Show” Host Jon Stewart examines the media frenzy over the Palin kids – including the recent slams on Willow over comments on her Facebook page.
360) Bristol Palin Hits Olbermann Back – “Sorry Keith We Can’t All Be As Perfect As You.”
361) Food Fights: Sarah Palin vs. the Liberals – Sarah Palin walked in and challenged her sense of self — implied, without saying so, that Dowd was living a less-than-perfect life, or at least one with gaps, and therefore was deficient in some aspect of her dietary culture — and Maureen Dowd freaked out over it. But contrast Dowd’s reaction to Palin’s small-beans cultural imposition with liberals’ reaction to Palin’s reaction to their own cultural impositions — liberals instruct us to just take the good, wise advice they offer, without calling foul or asking them Who In The Hell They Think They Are?, but when the shoe’s on the other food — when a bit of good advice is sent their way — they get irrationally angry about it.
362) Barbara Walters Finds Palin Scary – Americans Find Obama-Pelosi Regime Scary – Last night on her television special liberal reporter (oxymoron) Barbara Walters dismissed Sarah Palin as “uninformed”, telling the former Republican governor, “…Many people find the thought of you as president a little scary.”
363) Ouch!… Palin Hammers Nutty Hollywood Producer: “I Didn’t Know Anyone Ate Dogs, Tanned the Hides & Made Boots Out of Them” – Hollywood leftist Aaron Sorkin attacked Sarah Palin this week for hunting and eating caribou in Alaska. Sorkin compared her to Michael Vick. Today Sarah Palin answered. The former governor told the AP, “I didn’t know anyone ate dogs, tanned the hides, and made boots out of them.”
364) Deranged Palin-Hater Kathy Griffin Gets Booed By Troops After Attack on Bristol Palin (Video) – The ribald and unconventional comedian set the tone for the night when she joked about Bristol Palin and her supposed weight gain while competing with Dancing With The Stars. But the joke fell flat, as the military men and woman in attendance lustily booed the host for taking a shot at Sarah Palin’s daughter.
365) Crazy Al Grayson Brings Out Posters of Palin, Beck, Rush, Hannity & O’Reilly During His Wealth Redistribution Speech on House Floor (Video) – Crazy Al’s Last Hurrah… Alan Grayson (D-FL) brought out posters of Rush, Beck, Hannity, O’Reilly, Palin, Gingrich and GW today on the House Floor to push the democrat’s latest wealth redistribution plan.
366) Palin-Hater Nicolle Wallace: “Heaven Forbid” Palin Becomes President (Video) – Lovely. Former McCain campaign aide and Palin-hater Nicolle Wallace warned us about a Palin presidency on Morning Joe.
367) Sick. Metal Band Kills & Disembowels Sarah Palin on Stage (Video) – Disgusting. Metal band GWAR killed and disemboweled Sarah Palin on stage at a recent concert. Don’t expect NOW to get involved.
368.) Krauthammer Rips Liberal Media’s Obsession With Sarah Palin (Video) – KRAUTHAMMER: Perfect evidence of how liberals are obsessed with Sarah Palin.
369) Oh Brother… Far Left Animal Rights Group Attacks Sarah Palin for Clubbing Fish on Reality Show – They Call It a “Snuff Video” – ‘Most disturbing is the way she seems to enjoy causing suffering to other beings.
370) Nice. Barbara Bush on Sarah Palin: She’s Very Happy in Alaska & “I Hope She’ll Stay There” (Video) – “I sat next to her once. Thought she was beautiful,” Barbara Bush said. “And she’s very happy in Alaska, and I hope she’ll stay there.”
It’s On… Sarah Palin Hits Back at “Blue Blood” Bushes – Sarah Palin hit back against the “blue blood” Bushes today on the Laura Ingraham Show.
371) Stunner. Sandra Bernhard Calls Bristol Palin a Hooker on ‘The Joy Behar Show’ – BERNHARD: She`s such a hooker. She got on a flight after losing last night.
372) Far Left MSNBC Hate Speech Drives Woman to Threaten Terrorist Attacks – In the e-mail tirade sent to conservative radio host Joyce Kaufman in the early hours of Nov. 10, the writer bemoaned illegal immigrants, Jews, Muslims and the “Illuminati” and mentioned former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, according to the complaint.
373) Obama Claims He Doesn’t Think of Sarah Palin… Except When He Does – And, he said, he certainly isn’t focused on a potential challenge from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
(Compare also: It’s On… President Appeaser Lashes Out at Sarah Palin – “I really have no response to that. The last I checked, Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on nuclear issues,” Obama said in an interview with ABC News.)
374) This is why it’s called Palin Derangement Syndrome – Case in point: the big hoo-ha over Sarah’s supposed “hairdresser” coming to Haiti with her on her humanitarian trip. Only trouble is that said hairdresser, who had the nerve to fix a strand of Palin’s hair in front of the AP cameraperson, was none other than Palin’s daughter Bristol.
375) There’s No Getting Around It: Even When Palin Doesn’t Really Say Something It’s a Front Page Media Story Because They Need the Hits – Their claim: Palin previously said she would only run if no common-sense conservatives did. This “boxed her in,” as of course some common-sense conservative will run… Now she needs some wiggle room, the claim goes, because the criteria she set out means that she can’t run. So she’s added a new, important, game-changing criterion that means she’s going back on her word and also that she’s of course positioning herself for a presidential run. That new criterion? The candidate can’t just be a common-sense conservative, but must also be… (drum roll) electable.
376) More News That Isn’t News: DC elites down on Palin. – (via same link as above)
377) Oprah Won’t Answer Barbara Walters: “Is Sarah Palin Is Qualified for President?” (Video) – Talk show queen and Obama supporter Oprah Winfrey wouldn’t answer Barbara Walters’ question about Sarah Palin, “Is Sarah Palin qualified for president?” Walters correctly told her that by not answering she was answering.
378.) Meggie Mac demands to be heard on Palin’s hunting abilities – On MSNBC, of course. Because that’s where Republicans go, MSNBC.
379) She Can’t Help It… Nicolle Wallace Attacks Sarah Palin Again: She Has “Multiple Flaws” & “Obvious Deficiencies” – “She has very obvious deficiencies that will reveal themselves as the nominating contest gets closer,” she told The Daily Telegraph, adding: “Let her shoot her moose or whatever the heck she does on her [television] show, it will all work out.”
380) Why Does the Media Love to Pick On Palin? – Thus, in major news outlets, 194 news stories over the last month from Oct. 28 to Nov. 27 talked about Sarah Palin in the same paragraph that they used the words “extreme,” “dishonest,” “unpresidential,” “stupid,” “incompetent,” “gaffe,” or “dumb.” Fox News recently identified eleven other contenders — in addition to Palin — who will likely vie for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. Those 11 candidates, combined, garnered 27 percent more news coverage than Palin, but had just 144 negative stories written about them.
381) Former Clinton Advisor calls Sarah Palin “an extraordinary a$$” and then lies about Palin’s ability to answer question – Now you can see for yourself her answer. First she says that she admired all of them and then she says George Washington. You might disagree with her reason for naming Washington (that he served reluctantly, that he didn’t cling to power, that he went home to Mount Vernon when he was done), but that seems like a reasonable set of reasons to me and the point was that the Clinton person simply lied about happened.
382) Fat Fight: Huckabee Says Michelle Obama Right, Sarah Palin Wrong on Federal Role in Childhood Obesity – I don’t think this is really a big deal, because Palin was only partly on about mere nagging and nattering– the gravemen of her criticism seemed about legislation, government coercion.
383) Media Touts Far Left Loon Who Barely Won Cali Attorney General Race As the Anti-Palin – The media calls her the “anti-Palin” (whatever that means). They compare her to the worst jobs president since the Great Depression, Barack Obama. She must be a socialist.
384) Juan Williams: “Sarah Palin Can’t Stand on an Intellectual Stage With Obama” – Far left (but not crazy enough for NPR) FOX analyst Juan Williams told the FOX News Sunday panel yesterday that Sarah Palin can’t hold her own against Mr. Wonderful Barack Obama: “There is nobody out there except for Sarah Palin who could absolutely dominate the stage and she can’t stand on the intellectual stage with Obama.”
385) If Michele Bachmann runs… – …for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, will she split some of the Palin-hatred and deflect it onto herself? Or will she magnify it? I’ve noticed that, although Bachmann has a smaller public profile than Palin, she taps into some of the same virulence as Palin, for somewhat similar (although also somewhat different) reasons.
386) Surveyor Symbols Versus Targets – Moonbat propagandists have overeagerly attempted to exploit the tragedy in Tucson by accusing Sarah Palin of causing the incident when she allegedly marked Gabby Giffords for death with target symbols. Actually, Rep. Giffords was marked for electoral defeat with surveyor symbols, which are used to mark locations on maps.
Disgusting Partisanship on Display After Shooting – This has become a recurring pattern for liberal commentators over the past few years. Something bad happens and somehow, without any evidence at all, it is Palin’s fault and, more broadly, the Tea Party’s. That was the first reaction of Markos Moulitsas and Matt Yglesias yesterday. It was widely taken up by the left side of the blogosphere who managed to convince themselves that Gabrielle Giffords had been shot on the express orders of Sarah Palin. Not kidding.
BEGIN: EXCERPT FROM HUMAN DESIGNATE THIESSEN: MARC. – Left-wing bloggers and commentators blamed the attack on Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin because she had “targeted” Giffords for defeat during the 2010 elections. The New York Daily News published a column headlined “Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ blood is on Sarah Palin’s hands after putting cross hair over district.” And an hour after Giffords was shot, Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas actually tweeted: “Mission accomplished, Sarah Palin.” He conveniently failed to mention that his Daily Kos had put a “bull’s eye” (their words) on Giffords in 2008 – including her on a list of centrist Democrats who should be “targeted” in Democratic primaries. Mission accomplished, Markos?
Sorry Leftist Hacks… When You’ve Lost the Libs on “The View” You’ve Lost the Argument (Video) – Sorry Media Matters. Sorry Daily Kos. Sorry Keith Olbermann, CNN, The New York Times… When you’re a leftist crank and you’ve lost the liberals on “The View”… You’ve lost the argument. Even the ladies on The View defended Sarah Palin today.
Call Off the Media Dogs… Loughner Fixated on Giffords Since 2007 Way Before Palin – Accused gunman Jared Lee Loughner appeared to have been long obsessed with U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. A safe at Mr. Loughner’s home contained a form letter from Ms. Giffords’ office thanking him for attending a 2007 “Congress on your Corner” event in Tucson.
FRANKLIN GRAHAM DEFENDS PALIN: “I Am Shocked at Reports” Linking Sarah Palin to Tucson Shootings – Internationally respected evangelist Franklin Graham, the son of the great preacher Billy Graham, jumped into the political fray Tuesday by denouncing “outrageous” attempts by the political left to blame Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for the Tucson rampage that left six dead and 14 wounded.
387) The progressive “climate of hate:” An illustrated primer, 2000-2010 – The progressive climate of hate: A comprehensive illustrated primer in 8 parts: I. PALIN HATE
388.) Noble Peace-Loving Liberals Express Their Regard for Sarah Palin – Twitter Users Wish Death on Sarah Palin
Person Tweeting Death Wish For Palin Now Wants Privacy – Now YouTube is threatening to pull the video because one of the people who sent a tweet has complained that the video violates her privacy.
389) Facebook Group “I Hate It When I Wake Up & Sarah Palin Is Still Alive” Passes 2,000 Members! – Don’t expect the state-run media to touch this.
390) Most ghoulish Tucson massacre Tweet of the week – The more we attack Palin, the more the wingnuts rally around her, which is AWESOME. (Trending on Twitter tonight: #blamepalin — Conservatives fight back against the smears by mocking the Left’s tasteless blame game.)
391)
Sarah Palin speaks, blamestream media goes wild – Today, Sarah Palin issued her own poignant, but fierce rejoinder against the vicious smears of Tucson massacre opportunists and drew on “America’s enduring strength” to pay tribute to the victims… The blamestream media is already up in arms — can we still say that? — over the use of the phrase “blood libel.”
ABCNews: “Sarah Palin, once again, has found a way to become part of the story” – So how is this Sarah Palin “finding a way to insert herself into the story”? The Note itself writes she was inserted by others — but then go on to glibly accuse her of stealing the spotlight. A spotlight she did not want, and was put into by… liberals and the media (but I repeat myself) such as the liberal media types at The Note.
Howard Kurtz: Sarah Palin Could Have Struck A More Inclusive, Moderate Tone Merely By Confessing To The Left’s Charges Against Her & Admitting She Was An Accomplice To Mass-Murder – As someone who has argued that linking her rhetoric to the hateful violence of Jared Loughner is unfair, I can imagine that the former governor was angry about how liberal detractors dragged her into this story. But after days of silence, she had a chance to speak to the country in a calmer, more inclusive way. She could have said that all of us, including her, needed to avoid excessively harsh or military-style language, without retreating one inch from her strongly held beliefs. Instead she went the blood libel route.
Blame Righty: A condensed history – You are also well aware of the cunning ability of the Left to hinder exposure of this sordid history by accusing its chroniclers and whistle-blowers of “playing the victim.” Sarah Palin is the most prominent conservative to encounter this tactic, but she is by no means the first conservative public figure to experience it. Kabuki outrage over her use of the term “blood libel” is an intended distraction from the history outlined below that undergirds her message. The political speech suppressors have honed their craft long and well.
392) Top Democrat Clyburn: Sarah Palin Too Stupid to Understand Bogus Charges Against Her – “You know, Sarah Palin just can’t seem to get it, on any front. I think she’s an attractive person, she is articulate,” Clyburn said on the Bill Press radio show. “But I think intellectually, she seems not to be able to understand what’s going on here.”
393) Palin Killing People With Voodoo – Since the Left has dismissed the concept of cause and effect, this is what they’re essentially accusing Palin of. Allahpundit: Voodoo, the same way sticking a doll with a pin can inflict pain on someone a thousand miles away. When Palin slapped the crosshairs on Giffords’s district, Loughner somehow just knew and reacted. No proof of real-world cause and effect needed. That’s one of the two big takeaways from the left’s reaction to all this — that in a pinch, if the narrative requires right-wing culpability, magical thinking is acceptable.
394) LIBERALS SEEK BAN ON METAPHORS IN WAKE OF ARIZONA SHOOTING – The winner of the most cretinous statement of 2011 — and the list is now closed, so please hold your submissions — is MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, who on Monday night recalled Palin’s statement, “We’re not retreating, we’re reloading,” and said, I quote, “THAT’S not a metaphor.” Really, Chris? If that’s not a metaphor, who did she shoot?
395) Glenn Reynolds Explains the Lamestream Media’s Palin Obsession – NICK GILLESPIE: Palin’s Not Complicit in Loughner Shooting, but She Sure Ain’t Presidential, Either. Has any other public figure ever had to try to act “Presidential,” though, while being accused of complicity in mass murder?
396) Rush Speaks on the Left’s Unbridled Hatred for Sarah Palin (Video) – Now, if anybody has read the transcript or watched Sarah Palin’s video speech, there’s no “division” whatsoever. It’s an attempt to do the same thing Obama was attempting — unity, perspective, honesty — and yet there the Drive-Bys out there: “As Obama Urged Unity, Palin Brought Division.” They just can’t help it…
397) Loons Blame Sarah Palin & Glenn Beck for Violence at Oakland Rally For Tucson Victims (Video) – Local leftists rallied in Oakland last night in support of the Tucson shooting victims but more importantly to point out the dangers of conservative speech. It turned into one of their typical hatefests.
398.) MISSION ACCOMPLISHED… Death Threats Against Sarah Palin at Unprecendented Level – Thanks Sheriff Dupnik… Thanks state-run media… According to a close aide – Death threats against Sarah Palin reached an unprecedented level this week.
399) NYT on Obama’s call to stop the fingerpointing: He meant Palin, right? – The president’s words were an important contrast to the ugliness that continues to swirl in some parts of the country. The accusation by Sarah Palin that “journalists and pundits” had committed a “blood libel” when they raised questions about overheated rhetoric was especially disturbing, given the grave meaning of that phrase in the history of the Jewish people.
400) Today’s Media Narrative: Barack Obama Totally Kicked Sarah Palin’s A$$ – Today’s fresh new narrative is, Palin’s speech was awful by itself but it was positively wretched compared to the wonderful and masterful job done by Obama. My personal favorite in this category is by Jonathan Martin who is masquerading as a reporter at Politico but he’s really auditioning for Robert Gibbs’ job with this piece… Martin and others fail to note it’s not Palin’s job to bring the nation together or that Obama hadn’t spent four days being held responsible for a despicable crime he had nothing to do with.
401) MSNBC Graphic of the Week – On Tuesday night, the “Lean Forward” network bent over backwards and way to the left to squeeze in as many inferences about Sarah Palin into a small Chyron graphic as possible.
402) Olbermann Bashes Timing of Palin’s Tucson Remarks Day After Attacking Her Silence on Shootings – So, on Tuesday Palin is wrong for being silent; on Wednesday she’s wrong for not being silent. Don’t be confused: this has nothing to do with the timing, for if Palin hadn’t have said something Wednesday, Olbermann would have continued to admonish her for not commenting on a tragedy he believes her to be indirectly responsible for. Sadly, this is not at all surprising, for the same was true of Olbermann’s colleagues Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz who also complained about Palin’s silence Tuesday only to rip her apart for her video message Wednesday.
MUD LIBEL – The same people who had blamed Sarah Palin for the massacre at the Tucson Safeway and then taunted her for her “silence” were enraged when she responded. Last Tuesday, the night before Palin responded, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann mocked Palin’s silence throughout his show… It was deemed an admission of guilt that she hadn’t spoken about the Tucson shooting or denied the accusations that she had inspired the shooter. The next day, Palin posted a video response, and Keith immediately attacked her for “the worst timed political statement ever.” It’s almost as if liberals would attack Palin whatever she did.
403) Stoking the fear in San Francisco – While I don’t know whether to call it Palin Derangement Syndrome or Palinphobia, a poster has sprung up in San Francisco which I think reveals more about the anger and fear on the left than it does about the anger and fear on the right it purports to condemn… And what’s with the fire burning behind her? Is it supposed to be a burning cross? Is the man behind the sign wearing paramilitary gear? Isn’t the whole idea that we should all be afraid — and VERY AFRAID — of Sarah Palin. Is that not fear mongering by any logical standard?
404) GOP Men and Selling out Sarah – I was just talking the other day about conservatives who are foolish enough to let the media use them and lo and behold, one of my favorites, NJ Governor Chris Christie did just that this morning on Good Morning America and in the New York Times when he sold out Sarah Palin. He wants to give her speaking advice and tells her to be “less-scripted”. He wants her to use other language. He wants to “help her.”
405) I Love When This Happens – This fomenting by the left to create hatred for the way Palin breathes was perfectly illustrated by the horse-toothed Twitter jackass Lauren B., who said she wished it was Palin who was shot.
406) Mark Levin Threatens to Sue Matthews, Olbermann, Schultz and Anyone Tying Him to Tucson Shootings – I challenge Chris Matthews, I’ll put $100,000 on the table, to find any example where Sarah Palin has promoted the murder of anybody,” said Levin — specifically excluding terrorists and the Taliban.
407) Even Al Sharpton Caller Disgusted by Liberal Establishment’s Attempts to Blame Sarah Palin for Tucson Shootings – Maybe there’s hope. Even among callers to professional inflammatory rhetoric spewer Al Sharpton’s radio show, people can be found who realize it is insane to accuse Sarah Palin of complicity in the killing spree of an isolated lunatic who isn’t even conservative.
408.) HuffPo’s Jihad Against Sarah Palin – But when HuffPo double’s down on the narrative that somehow the Tea Party or Sarah Palin are to blame for the Arizona shooting days after it was clear that the shooter was a nut ….. I’d say shame on you Huffington Post, but they feel no shame. Never let a good crisis go to waste.
409) Sarah Palin Blood Libel –
410) CNN Panel: Stupid Palin, Reaganomics & Wealth Redistribution Caused AZ Shooting Debate Meltdown – James Taranto, Wall Street Journal columnist and online editor of its opinion pag, did a great job dismanling the panelist’s unhinged attacks on Sarah Palin and conservatives.
411) There’s more evidence that the liberal media influenced Eric Fuller than there is that Palin influenced Jared Loughner – On the left-wing Democracy Now radio show Friday, Fuller, a survivor of the Tucson shooting, said the following: It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the rest got their first target. Their wish for Second Amendment activism has been fulfilled—senseless hatred leading to murder, lunatic fringe anarchism, subscribed to by John Boehner, mainstream rebels with vengeance for all, even nine-year-old girls.
412) Sarah Palin Sits Down With Sean Hannity Tonight After Liberals Blamed Her For Tucson Massacre (Video) – Sean Hannity discussed his interview with Sarah Palin on FOX and Friends this morning. “I don’t think any one public official who has been brutally criticized like Sarah Palin.”
Liveblogging the Sarah Palin/Sean Hannity Interview – Sarah and her family, including her children, receive numerous death threats. Sean references the vile, leftwing comments, bumper stickers, cartoons, etc. Sean asked Palin, “The left hasn’t been very civil to you over the past year?” Sarah responds that she realizes there are “double standards”. … “I will continue to speak for many.” “I will continue to take the darts and arrows.”
Palin: ‘They’re Not Going to Shut Me Up’ – Contrary to some opinions, I’m willing to bet Sarah Palin eventually comes out of this politically stronger than ever (even the New York Times is backpedaling like Lance Armstrong careening down Filbert Street with broken brake cables).
413) Tucson Moonbat James Eric Fuller Calls for Torture and Severed Ears – James Eric Fuller, 63, who was shot in the knee, had told The Post on Friday, the day before his arrest, that top Republican figures should be tortured — and their ears severed. “There would be torture and then an ear necklace, with [Minnesota US Rep.] Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin’s ears toward the end, because they’re small, female ears, and then Limbaugh, Hannity and the biggest ears of all, Cheney’s, in the center,” Fuller said.
413) 35% of Americans Bought Into Lie That Palin Had Something to Do With Tucson Shooting By Bush-Hating Liberal Lunatic Pothead – One in three Americans (35%) believe that Sarah Palin was responsible for the shootings in Tucson by an anti-Christian, anti-Constitution, left-wing, pro-Marx, antiflag, “quite liberal” lunatic who hated Bush. After the mass slaughter in Tucson last week democrats and the liberal media immediately plotted to blame the shootings on the tea party and Sarah Palin. … And 46% of Americans disapproved of Palin’s defense against the disgusting liberal media lies.
414) The Hate Speech Inquisition – Sound familiar? This is the same tactic they used against Sarah Palin and all those on the right falsely accused of being accessories to the Tucson massacre: Attack ‘em. Attack ‘em for responding. Accuse the smear victims of playing the victim card. Repeat.
415) James Taranto, Who Didn’t Even Graduate From High School, Presumes To Explain Palin-Hatred – That’s the beginning of essay, noting that sort of unearned-snobbery is a major part of Palin hate, but then he hits a theme that my friend not_steve_in_hb has been hitting for years: Liberal women hate Sarah Palin because they hate their own lives and especially their disappointing husbands… No, really, a lot of this is resentment by a bunch of humiliated hens who have a large vested interest in making certain that only the credentialed, sanctioned path to success is permitted (because that’s the track they’re on) and they’re frustrated that they themselves aren’t successful, and here’s this brash, sexy-librarian type succeeding outside the system that’s so precious to them (because the system is of course stacked with advantages for their type and disadvantages for all others) and putting their own limited accomplishments rather to shame.
416) Bizarre Media Campaign to Link Sarah Palin to Tucson Shootings Actually Worked – Not many people watch CNN anymore. But adding in the numbers for NPR, ABC, CBS, and NBC, plus the prime time weekday numbers for MSNBC, there were 179 reports on Palin in 16 days, mentioning her name 1,485 times. Screaming her name over and over again in the aftermath of a tragedy will inevitably form a link in people’s minds, even if no rational connection has been proven or even suggested.
From Diversity Lane:
417) They’ve Lost It… Far Left Crank Dana Milbank Calls For Palin Boycott – Though it is embarrassing to admit this in public, I can no longer hide the truth. I have a Sarah Palin problem. I have written about her in 42 columns since Sen. John McCain picked her as his presidential running mate in 2008. I’ve mentioned her in dozens more blog posts, Web chats, and TV and radio appearances. I feel powerless to control my obsession, even though it cheapens and demeans me. But today is the first day of the rest of my life. And so, I hereby pledge that, beginning on Feb 1, 2011, I will not mention Sarah Palin – in print, online or on television – for one month. Furthermore, I call on others in the news media to join me in this pledge of a Palin-free February.
Dana Milbank Doesn’t Last A Day! – Day one of my Sarah Palin moratorium. I survived Day One of my February Sarah Palin moratorium, defeating the evil plans of ABC News’s Rick Klein.
Palin supporters unite against Palin-free month – iOwnTheWorld.com has declared “All Palin February.” iOwnTheWorld.com says, “In response to Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank’s suggestion of a moratorium on media Palin stories for the month of February, we came up with a little idea of our own! All Palin February! We here at iOTW will have at least one Sarah Palin item a day throughout the entire month of February, but we need your help. So, send in your favorite Palin stories, quotes, pictures, poems, etc., so that we can fight the main stream media bias against former Governor Palin and all conservatives.”
Sarah’s online army: Warriors ‘Going Rogue’ vs Milbank’s Palin Feb. blackout – Tonight, January 31, 2011, only hours away from a media boycott, or blackout of Sarah Palin — pledged and proposed for all mainstream media by Dana Milbank — Sarah Palin’s volunteer internet army, of nearly 30 major online Palin blogs, is organized and ready to fight back. They are going on offense, launching their own full cyber-throated effort to make certain that Dana Milbank FAILS and Sarah Palin OWNS February.
418.) New Palin Scandal: First Dude Is Cheating on Sarah Palin With Masseuse (Video) – The latest media created scandal is that Todd Palin is cheating on his wife with a masseuse. This rumor was started by the National Enquirer yesterday… The comments in this YouTube thread are as hateful as you would expect. It is interesting… The state-run media would not touch the John Edwards’ baby scandal reported by the National Enquirer. However, they’re all over this Palin scandal.
Funny how that works.
419) Rudy Giuliani: I’m “Absolutely” Taking A Look At Running For President In 2012 UPDATED: Wants To Run As Moderate Option To Palin – Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he’s more likely to run for president if former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin runs. In an interview on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” Giuliani, who dropped out of the 2008 Republican presidential primary, said running against Palin for the 2012 GOP nomination would show him as a moderate Republican.
NATIONAL ENQUIRER EXCLUSIVE: WE HAVE VERIFIED WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE THAT LEFTY BLOGGERS ARE PUSHING A TODD PALIN SEX SCANDAL!!!! – I don’t even know where to begin with this. Start with the fact that the National Enquirer is basing this article on what lefty bloggers are speculating about. (Remember Trig Trutherism?) They have no facts at all, except that a prostitute was busted in Alaska, something that happens 100 times a day. There are no facts connecting any of this to Palin (or even anyone he knows). But that doesn’t stop the intrepid “political bloggers,” nor the Enquirer.
Cops: Yeah, Um, Todd Palin Has Nothing To Do With That Routine Prostitution Bust – “It was just guilt by innuendo, nothing else,” Lt. Dave Parker told the Daily News on Wednesday. “There’s not one scintilla of evidence that Todd Palin had anything to do with this.” Right, obviously so. And so why was it picked up, despite being evidence-free, by Forbes and the New York Dail News? Because their bloggers are all, of course, liberals, and they can’t resist pressing a bogus story against the Palins.
420) Wikileaks Lawyer Says He’ll Prosecute Palin If She Goes to Australia – In a Facebook post in December, Sarah Palin wrote that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be “pursued with the same urgency as al-Qaida and Taliban leaders.” Robert Stary, an Australian lawyer for Assange, tells National Public Radio he’ll pursue a “private prosecution” of Palin if she ever sets foot on Aussie soil. Her remark is essentially a call for Assange’s execution, Stary says.
421) Sarah Palin and the Legacy of Republican ‘Idiocy’ – Sarah Palin may be the reigning Republican “idiot,” but she shares in a proud legacy that dates back to at least Dwight David Eisenhower, if not earlier.
422) Caroline Glick: The Aim of Blood Libels & Sarah Palin – Caroline Glick, popular columnist at The Jerusalem Post, defended Sarah Palin and conservatives from the blood libel of the left following the Tuscon shooting by by an anti-Christian, anti-Constitution, left-wing, pro-Marx, antiflag, “quite liberal” lunatic who hated Bush. that left 6 people dead.
423) Meghan McCain: “Michele Bachmann Is the Poor Man’s Sarah Palin” (Video) – Liberal media favorite Meghan McCain was at it again…
Meghan McCain appeared on “The Last Word” with Lawrence O’ Donnell and said that Michelle Bachmann is a “poor man’s Sarah Palin”.
424) ENRAGED LEFTISTS Force University to Nix Bristol Palin Campus Appearance (Video) – After an uproar by the far left, Bistol Palin will not be speaking at Washington University in St. Louis after all. The young leftists were enraged that a Palin would be speaking at their university… Of course, this is the same university that has no problem instructing students on how to give the best bl*w job.
425) Curt Olds, the Lord High Executioner – First I would like to compliment you and the entire staff of “The Mikado” on the beautiful sets, costuming and professional performance we experienced on Sunday, Jan. 23. However, I must call you on something that was inserted into the play which I am almost positive was not in the original book…your calling for the beheading of Sarah Palin. (Via Michelle Malkin)
426) Sarah Palin: I Can’t Wait to Be Blamed For the Violence In Egypt – Palin mentions how some media figures have pledged not cover her at all in February, and says the boycott “sounds good” to her: “because there’s a lot of chaos in Cairo, and I can’t wait to not get blamed for it–at least for a month.”
427) Idiot Maddow Reports Palin Invasion Spoof as Fact (Video) – The article that caught Maddow’s eye called for an “American-led invasion” into Egypt and begged former Alaska governor Sarah Palin to lead the war cry. “The escalating crisis in Egypt could become a defining moment for Sarah Palin,” Billings wrote. “Governor Palin needs to speak out publicly and forcibly for an American-led invasion to protect our interests in North Africa.” In the following clip (which MSNBC scrubbed from its website) Maddow falls for the article hook, line and sinker.
428.) Solid Proof That The Left Is Lost In A Delusional State That Would Require Electroshock Therapy – With A Powerline – The Left is actually trying to pit Sarah Palin style against Michelle Obama’s… And what does the left use to make their case? A few pics of Sarah Palin in tee shirts. Funny, they didn’t run the myriad of pictures of Bigfoot emerging from Air Force One looking like she could be grubbing for quarters at the laundermat. Please.
429) Before The MSM Decided In Concert To Attack Palin – Let’s take a rewind Back before the MSM and the Sheeple were told to hate Palin, before they all nodded like an evil villain’s unthinking sidekick, “Herr deherrrderrr derr, yes Master, I will destroy her.”… What did Palin do to make a nation of morons froth at the mouth at the very sound of her name? Not one of the leftards has ever answered this question with any proper proportion.
430) Overstatement of the Day – The UK Daily Mail is obviously assuming that Ron Reagan Jr. has a lot more political clout in the States than he actually does… Devastating — now Palin might not get the vote of the half dozen libs who heed the words of Ron Reagan Jr.
431) Ron Reagan Jr.: “Palin Has Nothing In Common With My Dad… She’s a Soap Opera” – “Sarah Palin is a soap opera, basically. She’s doing mostly what she does to make money and keep her name in the news,” Reagan says.
432) US Weekly Publishes Palin–Aguilera Spoof as Factual – Us Weekly has published what it claims are comments made by Sarah Palin, in which the former vice presidential candidate blasts Christina Aguilera’s performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl XLV. Except the over-the-top “quotes,” which Us Weekly attributes to a Monday radio interview with Sean Hannity, were actually written for a satire website. … The fake “Palin” … talks about wanting to “deport” Aguilera, because “spicy Latin princesses” shouldn’t be allowed to sing at the Super Bowl.
433) Palin Derangement Syndrome Explained – The Atheist Antidote explains why moonbats hate Sarah Palin with such unseemly venomousness:
434) Sarah Palin Demands TIME Magazine Retract Totally Bogus Story About Her – You guys were fooled into running a fake story that even US Weekly pulled and apologized for their blunder. Total lies – and you guys (once again) even put quotation marks around things I have never uttered.
435) Far Left Palin-Hater Kathy Griffin Will Play Home-Schooling Tea Party Candidate on Glee – TV Guide confirmed that Griffin will play Tammy Jean, a conservative home-schooling Tea Party candidate rumored to be based on Sarah Palin.
Vulgar Far Left Comedienne Kathy Griffin Trashes Conservatives on Glee (Video) – When we heard that the far left has-been comedienne Kathy Griffin was going to play the part of a tea party activist on Glee, we knew it would be ugly. But, we had no idea it would be this ugly. Griffin mocked Palin and Christine O’Donnell while depicting Tea Party members as homophobic birthers. Disgusting.
436) Guest blogger John Phillips on the lessons of a political visit to Washington and Ann Coulter – Best misquote of the conference: Singer Sophie B. Hawkins and former RNC Chair Michael Steele. While getting jiggy with ’80s music at GOProud’s Big Gay Dance Party, a Slate magazine blogger quoted Sophie as making an off-color remark about Sarah Palin. With Steele allegedly responding, “Well, she’s very attractive.” We caught up with Steele on Saturday night, and he says it didn’t happen…none of it. Steele also insists that the Depeche Mode music was so loud, even if Sophie had said something, nobody would have been able to hear.
437) WaPo Owned Slate.com Calls Sarah Palin a C*** in Headline – Two commmenters at Slatest criticized Slate for the slur with one writing, “I’ve let go of my reflexive typo pointing in the Slatest, but Facebook accunt? on a Sarah Palin’s tidbit, come on guys, at least get a basic spellcheck function.” Given Slate’s prominence as a respected part of the mainstream media with professional standards to uphold, an innocent typo of this magnitude with this subject is highly unlikely.(For the benefit of Media Matters senior blogger Eric Boehlert, try to imagine Slate “accidentallly” doing the same to Michelle Obama or Nancy Pelosi. It wouldn’t happen.)
438.) Fleebaggers: The New Cut-and-Run Democrats – Many of the loudest Washington and Hollywood critics of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s decision to resign from office in 2009 are themselves now AWOL on the Wisconsin and Indiana AWOL-ians. Who’s all for mocking “quitters” now? Anyone?
439) Imagine President Palin Doing This – RUSH: When you’re out there pretending, ladies and gentlemen, that you’re Sarah Palin, President Palin, imagine that you don’t have a birth certificate, what would happen?
440) Subtlety Takes a Holiday: Palin-Supporting Tea Party Character on CBS Drama Named ‘McVeigh’ – The CBS drama “The Good Wife” has raised a few eyebrows by naming Gary Cole’s character, a ballistics expert, Tea Party member, and Sarah Palin supporter, “Kurt McVeigh,” a not so subtle comparison to Timothy McVeigh, the man behind the 1995 Oklahoma City bombings.
Sarah Palin on Kathy Griffin: A ‘50-Year-Old Adult Bully… Has-Been Comedienne’ – Sarah Palin was asked about horrible far left comediene Kathy Griffin playing a tea partier on television. Here’s her response, via Big Hollywood.
441) Kathleen Parker’s Exit – There is also an interesting secondary element to Parker’s demise which might make media pundits a little more hesitant to attack Sarah Palin. Since the 2008 election, many of her biggest media critics have found themselves out of a job. Keith Olbermann, Rick Sanchez, David Shuster, Alan Colmes, Campbell Brown, John Roberts, Larry King, Harry Smith and Parker are all prominently mentioned in my documentary and all of them have been let go from TV jobs since Obama got elected.
442) Deranged Gun-Toting Palin Stalker Travels From Pennsylvania to Alaska – Media Insists It’s a Non-Story (Updated) – Palin and Cole filed, and were granted, 20-day protective orders against Christy in September 2010 after they told the court that they had received receipts from him for the purchase of a gun, a one-way plane ticket and a call from him on a phone with a 907 area code.
443) Blog Sabbath Caption Contest: Insult Bill O’Reilly Edition (Fatwas Issued!)M – Some folks think that Sara Palin got “snippy” with Bill O’Reilly, personally I had about the same reaction as he did. Zero… Anyway I’ve read the Crooks and Liars thing as well as the Politico thing and its mountain from molehill.
444) Palin’s milk joke goes sour – Who knows whether or not Palin will run for the nation’s highest office. But if she does, comments like this one do little to make her sound presidential. For one, even if it was a joke, Palin was making light of something that has to do with the future of this country–the health and well-being of its children. And even if Palin spent most of the talk discussing deficits, health-care reform and foreign affairs, it’s unnecessary side comments like these that will–whether she likes it or not–lead the news.
445) Julianne Moore to Portray Sarah Palin in ‘Game Change’ Movie – Surprisingly, the script writer is a conservative. Just kidding, he’s an Obama man (I guess Aaron Sorkin was busy). Julianne Moore’s a Democrat too, as is Director Jay Roach. I can see a hatchet job from my house. Okay, maybe that’s not fair to just assume… but here’s one possible exchange from the book that is a safe bet to make the cut: The Huffington Post quotes one story from the book […]: “McCain adviser Steve Schmidt was quoted as telling Palin’s foreign policy advisers that, after testing the candidate before a debate, ‘You guys have a lot of work to do. She doesn’t know anything.’”
446) What’s the Problem with Palin? – The Politico story here: “‘She’s Becoming Al Sharpton, Alaska Edition.'”
447) Heh: Al Sharpton Advises Sarah Palin About Being Taken Seriously – Despite the chuckles some might have at the idea of Reverend Al Sharpton giving someone advice about how to be taken seriously, while appearing on Morning Joe, Sharpton was humorous and even insightful with some of the wisdom he gave to Sarah Palin.
448.) Obama’s Mentor: Black Liberation Theology Is Marxism… Capitalism Is a Demon (Video) – The far left hatemonger admitted that Black Liberation Theology was essentially socialism or Marxism. He also told the crowd that capitalism is a demon. And, of course, he lashed out at Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and tea party patriots. No wonder Obama admired him.
449) Leftists, Marxists, Anti-Semites & Pro-Union Activists Hold Antiwar “Palin Whore” Rally (Video) – Hundreds of far left, Marxists, anti-Semitic, union-supporting, Palin-hating activists gathered yesterday in Portland to commemorate the 8 year anniversary of the start of the Iraq War.
450) Bill Maher Calls Sarah Palin a “Dumb Tw*t” (Video) – Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a “dumb tw*t” on his comedy show last night. His far left audience loved it.
451) Geraldine Ferraro Dies – Didn’t take some on the left long to use Ferraro’s death to bash Palin.
452) National Organization for (hateful liberal) Women Refuse to Condemn Maher’s Palin Tw*t Attack …Update: NOW Begrudgingly Releases Statement – The National Organization for Women (NOW) refused to comment on Maher’s use of the derogatory term. A rep told FOXNews.com it is a “known fact” that NOW does not correspond with FOX News… “You’re trying to take up our time getting us to defend your friend Sarah Palin. If you keep us busy defending her, we have less time to defend women’s bodies from the onslaught of reproductive rights attacks and other threats to our freedom, safety, livelihood, etc,”
453) Charlie Sheen: Sarah Palin Is a Whore – “Nothing terrifies a troll more than its own reflection,” Sheen continues, before shifting gears into politics. “In a recent poll, they told me I’d bring down that whore [Sarah] Palin. I don’t have time for that nonsense.”
454) The Left Finds a Way to Display Their Hate For Palin & Jesus in One Exhibit:
455) Far Left ‘Hope Sarah Palin Dies’ Page Is Still Up and Running on Facebook – Just so you know… The “I hate when I wake up and Sarah Palin is still alive” page is still up and running on Facebook. [Continuation from point no.389]
456) Violent Far Left Palin Stalker Threatens to Rape Her Daughter – The far left cranks at Media Matters just last month reported that Christy was not a stalker. Guess they were wrong about that, too. The crazed stalker is now calling the Palins at home, calling Sarah Palin a whore and threatening to rape her daughter.
457) Crazy-Unhinged-Leftist-Lunatic Welcomes Sarah Palin to Madison (Video) – This far left nut turned out yesterday to see Sarah Palin speak at the Madison, Wisconsin tea party. He wasn’t interested in what she had to say. This – Guy – Was – Nuts.
458.) TrumkaObama Thugs Scream, Curse, Beat Drums, Blow Whistles & Make Obscene Gestures During Palin’s Wisconsin Speech (Video) – This is what thuggery looks like. They don’t want to hear your side. They don’t want to discuss your views. They want you to shut up and be silent.
459) SARAH PALIN – ANDREW BREITBART Join Thousands of Patriots at Madison Tea Party (Live on UStream) …Update: Thugs Heckle Sarah Palin – The comments on the Channel 3000 website are as vile and nasty as you would expect coming from the left.
460) Salon Debunks Deranged Trigtherism Conspiracy Theory – There doesn’t appear to be any polling on the Trig question, but when we ran a dismissive post about the Trig Truthers last week, we were deluged with angry emails and tweets. (Sullivan, one of the leading doubters of Palin’s pregnancy, wrote a post accusing me of incuriosity and laziness.) Fed up with the attention the subject has received, the Huffington Post took the step this week of banning Trig Truthers. Whether we like it or not, this is a conspiracy theory that has gotten big enough to warrant a response.
461) Andrew Sullivan Gets Punked – See, on the same day he’s telling the world what a viable and reasonable and worthy-of-investigation theory Trig Trutherism is, he’s simultaneously, between these posts, denigrating Birthers as crazy and hateful.
462) Leading Leftie Blog Mocks Sarah Palin’s Handicapped Baby on His Birthday – So this is the new leftist humor? Wonkette attacked Sarah Palin’s baby Trig on his birthday… This is disgusting- even for Wonkette… The comments are just as horrible as you would expect.
Liberals Continue to Ridicule Trig Palin – There is something particularly despicable about ridiculing a child with Down syndrome — which is why moonbats feel compelled to do it. If you think you can’t possibly despise the Left more than you do already, check out the Photoshop attacks on Trig Palin and his mother at Conservative Cult. I Miss My Mommy is an entire website devoted to libs crapping in their hands and flinging it at Trig.
Papa Johns, Vanguard and Huggies Drop Ads From Wonkette After Horrid Trig Palin Incest Post – It looks like Down Syndrome baby-hating incest jokes are are not just vile and crass, they’re bad for business. Last night leading leftist blog Wonkette published this awful post attacking Sarah Palin’s baby Trig on his birthday.
Humiliating Meltdown Continues… Wonkette Hatesite Hits Bottom… Digs – Even worse… The blog decided to attack their former advertisers too.
Ken Layne: Under No Circumstances Will I Ever Delete That Post Ken Layne, Take Two: That Post Has Been Deleted. Our Apologies For The Oversight. – If Jack Stuef is apologizing, why was this done against his will? Note that the author of this post is not Stuef, offering an apology, but “ADMIN,” telling us Stuef is sorry.
JackStuef.com – My suspicion is that Jack Stuef already owned his own named domain and is doing this himself as an attempt to placate advertisers. See, he already added a half-baked, under-the-gun fake apology to his Trig post
Trig Slimer Jack Stuef: Take That, Disabled Child – I hate to point out that the photos of Wonkette’s Jack Stuef looks just like you would expect a guy who thinks it’s cool to trash a three-year old with Down ’s syndrome because he disagrees with the child’s mother’s politics to look like. The bloated face, the pursed lips, the sorta hipster glasses that really come off as “nerd” – he looks like the guy who proudly wore a t-shirt through high school that read “Dungeon master” until he realized too late that doing so was just one more card in the deck stacked against his ever kissing a live girl.
Jack Stuef Canned At Wonkette; Most Likely Will Become a Comedy Star, Now That He Has The Time – At times, especially when I’m tired and have to somehow hit eight posts when there’s no real news happening, I’ve broken some of my own. I don’t like to make easy jokes. But I have. Kind of often. A few times I’ve made fun of people who really didn’t deserve it, and when it was pointed out to me, I apologized.
463) Tina Fey’s pretty sure that the ill-will she generated from her Sarah Palin impression is all due to sexism – Robert J. Thompson, the founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University, is skeptical of Ms. Fey’s insinuation that the flak she’s taken is a “gender issue.” “I’m not aware of Amy Poehler, for example, getting much grief about her impersonation of Hillary Clinton,” he says.
464) Levi Johnston To Affix Name To Book To Be Written By Author To Be Unnamed Later – Yeah, Levi Johnston’s got a book deal. It will be called, no seriously, Deer In The Headlights: My Life In Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs. Let me note, for all of you Palin fans, that there is one huge benefit were Palin to withdraw from public life: The moment she becomes a purely private citizen, Levi Johnston is forced to begin working for a living, and by “working for a living,” I mean playing the part of Naive Redneck Twink-Boy in gay porno movies at $300 a pop (and I do choose my words carefully).
Shock: Maybe Levi Johnston Is Writing His Own Book – You know why I think that? I think that because he’s doing his own cover art design: No seriously, look at that. That is not a professional job. Those… antlers in the title? What? Mothers and fathers, could your five and six year olds do this? I submit they could. And would.
465) Classy Joy Behar Compares “Illiterate” Sarah Palin to “Jock Itch” (Video) – Far left Christian-hating CNN host Joy Behar compared Sarah Palin to jock itch.
466) THE WHOLE FAMILY IS NUTS — Palin Stalker Admits to Rape Threats – Father & Mother Involved – Shawn Christy admitted in court to having threatened to rape Palin but has denied her allegations he menaced her daughters. He also admitted sending Palin numerous e-mails and gifts, and to traveling to Anchorage earlier this year. Craig Christy admitted to making more than two dozen early morning phone calls to Palin’s parents over a two-day period in March. He also acknowledged organizing a support group for his son to stage protests at events attended by Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, and he maintains a Facebook page with numerous anti-Palin messages.
467) MSM Uses Palin’s Own Children as Political Weapons Against Her –
Trig Trutherism isn’t Sullivan’s cause; it’s a hustle, a shield he developed to undermine Palin’s womanhood and motherhood — a base Obama can’t afford to lose even a percentage point of. In addition, don’t think the media doesn’t eat this all up. It all adds to that artificial soap opera of Palin-Fury they’re so determined to keep alive.
468.) Anatomy of a JournOList Smear: Whoopi Spreads Corrupt MSM’s Anti-Palin Narrative to the Popular Culture – See what the Left-wing MSM is doing there? Palin says “our president” instead of “President Obama,” and that becomes the headline and narrative. The result… pure journ-o-lism. You won’t believe your eyes when you click here and here. This phony narrative spread like virus, which is exactly what it was meant to do. On its face the MSM’s story is absurd, but the motivations at work here are much more insidious… This unholy union doesn’t end in the media. The next step is to spread it into the popular culture where, I believe, the most damage can be done. That’s where phony narratives tend to be cemented.
469) DouchebagGate: Daily Caller Attempts To Whore For Attention and, Unfortunately For Their Future Prospects, Succeeds – The shittiest thing the Daily Caller does here is publish Mansour’s tweets about (I presume) Bristol, which amount to, basically, “Look, she’s a dumb kid, a teenager, what are you going to do? But she loves her son.” And the DC published that. For no earthy reason, except to embarrass Mansour and, by extension, Palin. Let me weigh in: It’s embarrassing for the DC…. The story is just we hacked some girl’s Twitter account, check it out!
Creep Who Leaked Mansour’s Tweets Revealed – “Does Politico pay for exclusives? Cause I’m looking to sell. I have 122 direct messages from Sarah Palin staffer Rebecca Mansour,” the person emailed, eventually sending along sample direct messages identical to a couple the Caller posted. They were forwarded from the account of one improbably named Toki de la Vega, a contributor to some pro-Palin sites, though there was a man’s name attached to one of the tweets as well.
470) Not News? Columbia Professor and Huffington Post Contributor David Epstein Pleads Guilty in Incest Case – You will recall that Palin-hating blogger David Epstein was arrested in December and charged with felony incest for having sex with his adult daughter (now 24) from 2006 through 2009. One of our readers has obtained court documents (for Case #2010NY090162) indicating that Epstein copped a plea to a misdemeanor charge of attempted incest.
471) Sarah Palin’s Like Totally Ruining Meghan McCain’s Dating Life – Jay Leno: Are you dating anyone? Meghan McCain: No. I’m in, like, dating Babylon. Like, I go on dates with men and, literally, like Sarah Palin will come up in like the first 20 minutes, and that doesn’t put me in the mood. Like, talking about Sarah Palin. And they just want to know gossip, and I’m just kind of taking a little hiatus from dating right now, because I just don’t want to talk about Sarah Palin.
472) Trig Thruther Andrew Sullivan Compares Palin Film to Nazi Propaganda… – “If someone gives it a chance and watches it, watches the film, I think they will be surprised at the caricature that’s been drawn and the contrast to reality. I just think every aspect of it is so powerful, you cannot walk away from this film looking at Sarah Palin the same way. You just can’t,” – Meg Stapleton, on the upcoming propaganda movie, “Triumph Of The Will” ”The Undefeated.”
473) Palin’s Former Aide Turned Tell-All Turncoat Makes Surprising Revelation – Matthews thought Palin was all show business and asked Bailey, “is Sarah Palin different than this sort of glittery person that comes out with the nice hand – and always looks attractive and upbeat and positive and loving the masses?” Bailey surprisingly tried to convince Matthews that “she’s not dumb, she is smart – she does read, she reads a lot.” This admission left Matthews perplexed as he couldn’t figure out why if she did actually read, then why did Palin have difficulty answering Katie Couric’s famous newspaper question?
474) “Jabba the Hutt of Porn”, Larry Flynt, Calls Trig Palin “Brain Dead Virtual Vegetable” – Then, he went after Trig, saying, “She did a disservice to every woman in America. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Down’s Syndrome. It’s brain dead. A virtual vegetable.”
475) Chasing Sarah: The Boys Behind the Bus – Amid frenzied speculation over her potential presidential campaign plans, former GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin launched an all-American road trip with her family this Memorial Day weekend. Establishment media types didn’t get reserved seats or advance notice of her itinerary. Palin rubbed the Washington media mob’s institutional sense of entitlement right back in its face. “I don’t think I owe anything to the mainstream media. I want them to have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this,” she jabbed. Robbed of the reflexive genuflection customarily paid by publicity-seeking candidates to the political press, scribes, cameramen and producers on the campaign trail began howling louder than the Rolling Thunder Harleys that Palin rode along with on Sunday in Washington, D.C. One miffed CBS News producer, Ryan Corsaro, pouted that the O.J. Simpson-style media caravan giving chase to Palin had created hazardous working conditions for all the intrepid news correspondents.
Speed 3: Chasing Palin – To read the Politico article, which is entitled “Sarah Palin’s tour a rolling menace,” you’d think the tour is being directed by Jerry Bruckheimer.
Kirsten Powers: It’s refreshing to see Sarah Palin say ‘screw you’ to the MSM – If you look at the MSM there’s just a lot of hostility towards her and, you know, pretty much every thing she does makes them angry. And I think what [Sarah Palin] said is exactly right that she owes them nothing, she does not have to play by their rules, and it’s actually kind of refreshing to see somebody who just says ‘screw you’ to these people who treat her like garbage.
476) Media Dilemma: Palin in New Hampshire Thursday During Romney Announcement – Mitt Romney will officially announce his White House intention Thursday in New Hampshire. At the same time, Sarah Palin’s bus tour will make a stop in the state: Reporters will have a harrowing choice to make when it comes to which one of these to cover.
477) How Palin’s Winning the MEdia War – It has been three years since the first exclamatory sentences were deployed and grammatically challenged Twitter invectives unleashed in the epic conflagration between Sarah Palin and the “lamestream” media. You’ll never guess who’s winning the war.
478.) Palin Befuddles GOP Status Quo Machine – As it played out on TV this week, Sarah Palin’s “One Nation” road trip of U.S. historical sites was a masterpiece of political mischief-making – a wild dash up the East Coast that delighted her fans and cornered the market on 2012 coverage for days on end. That’s not how the bus tour looked to Republicans on the ground, many of whom are more convinced than ever that the former Alaska governor is simply not serious about running for president.
479) Palin doubles down on her Paul Revere claim, calls out Shep Smith – This explanation probably won’t pass muster with many of her critics, but Sarah Palin insists she didn’t commit a gaffe last week when she said Paul Revere warned the British on his historical ride that signaled the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
Media Idiots Aim for Sarah Palin, Shoot Their Own Clown Shoes – Although Palin was speaking metaphorically, the reference to bells was apt, considering that Paul Revere owned a foundry that made bells. Colonial Americans did in fact use bells to warn against the statists of their day: The town bell was actually ringing to alert the Lexington Company of Militia to assemble on the town common because the British regulars were on the march.
You know how Sarah Palin said Paul Revere warned the British? Well, he did. Now, who looks stupid? – The well-known fable is Revere’s late-night ride to warn fellow revolutionaries that…….the British were coming. Less known, obviously, is the rest of the evening’s events in which Revere was captured by said redcoats and did indeed defiantly warn them of the awakened militia awaiting their arrival ahead and of the American Revolution’s inevitable victory. Palin knew this. The on-scene reporters did not and ran off like Revere to alert the world to Palin’s latest mis-speak, which wasn’t.
Experts back Sarah Palin’s historical account – In fact, Revere’s own account of the ride in a 1798 letter seems to back up Palin’s claim. Revere describes how after his capture by British officers, he warned them “there would be five hundred Americans there in a short time for I had alarmed the Country all the way up.” Boston University history professor Brendan McConville said, “Basically when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting,’ and the British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside, they hear church bells ringing — she was right about that — and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate.”
So Now All These People Will Apologize to Sarah Palin About Paul Revere, Right? – I told him; and aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River, and that There would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up. He imediately rode towards those who stoppd us, when all five of them came down upon a full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards found to be Major Mitchel, of the 5th Regiment, Clapped his pistol to my head, called me by name, & told me he was going to ask me some questions, & if I did not give him true answers, he would blow my brains out.
Sarah Palin and This Stupid Paul Revere Thing – What is the operative assumption the media demonstrates in never, not even once, alluding to this strange conception of American state numeration Obama apparently subscribes to? That a simple brain-fart is commonplace and says nothing about the speaker’s intelligence whatsoever. And in Palin’s case? Well. That assumption just goes out the window. She’s actually a Mentally Retarded Female, despite not wearing the government-ordered MRF bracelet.
480) Paula Froelich (twitter @Pfro): “where is Sarah Palin’s retarded son while she’s on her bus tour?” – They just can’t leave the Palin children alone, can they?
481) Flag Hypocrisy From MSNBC – Mainstream media moonbat Martin Bashir doesn’t like it that Sarah Palin’s bus tour has featured the flag of which she’s so proud. According to al-Bashir, it desecrates Old Glory to use it in any form of advertising. That would explain some of the ads we’ve seen from his fellow libs at MSNBC:
482) Dr. Krauthammer and Gov. Palin: Analyzing the Analyst – And these false notes are starting to become glaringly tinny when Krauthammer opines on Sarah Palin. With Palin, Krauthammer’s reliable sights become suspect. He lowers himself from wise man to wise guy. He leaves his well positioned observation post to take up a sniper’s position in the mud.
482) Far Left Crank Tommy Christopher: Posting Photos of Underage Girls on the Internet Is Off Limits… Unless She’s a Palin – Far left crank Tommy Christopher, a writer at Mediaite website, attacked me this week for posting photos of Weiner’s tweet-hearts online For the record, the photos were already posted in Weiner’s twitter account, I just grouped them together in one post…. Finally, here’s a question for Tommy… If posting pictures of young girls on the internet is so offensive then why did you splash a “big” photo of Willow Palin in one of your recent posts?
483) Mark Levin Defends Sarah Palin: “I’m Sick & Tired of These Smears By Krauthammer Against Her” – Conservative radio host and top-selling author Mark Levin defended Sarah Palin from the latest attacks by Washington elitist Charles Krauthammer. “I’m getting sick and tired of these smears by Krauthammer against her.” Krauthammer mocked Sarah Palin again last night on Special Report. He said it “wasn’t her turn.”
484) Silly Beyonce Thinks Sarah Palin Is a Joke (Video) – Beyonce thinks Michelle Obama is a fashion icon. The Obama-supporting diva thinks Sarah Palin is a joke. When asked if she thinks Sarah Palin has a future in politics or a future in comedy all she could do was laugh. How sad.
485) ANOTHER LEFTIST ATTACK… Sarah Palin’s Bus Defaced With “Media Whore” Sign (Video) – Another Day – Another Leftist Attack The left must be very proud tonight. Far left criminals defaced Sarah Palin’s bus tonight.
486) Is Ed Rollins Convinced Palin’s Going to Run? – Michele Bachmann has hired Ed Rollins to run her campaign, and it didn’t take him long in his new role to flow back into the old routine and start in on the Palin criticism
Ed Rollins: I Absolutely Forbid Any Palin Supporters From Consideration of Supporting My Client, Michelle Bachmann – A guy working for someone running for President, someone with a Palin-esque profile, someone who will definitely want a big chunk of those Palin-votes when/if Palin announces she’s not running. Not only did he imply Palin was not “the intelligent woman,” not only did he then go one to opine Palin’s not been “serious for years,” but, when told to STFU by people who have more sense remaining in their skulls, he actually doubles-down, pridefully, on outrageous stupid. Of Team Palin’s call for a retraction, he said, “What’s the retraction? I say she’s serious?”
487) Comedian Jokes About Killing Sarah Palin… But It’s OK Because She’s a Republican – “You know what man?” Titus said on “The Adam Carolla Show” podcast. “I am going to literally — if she gets elected president, I am going to hang out on the grassy knoll all the time, just loaded and ready — because you know what? It’s for my country. It’s for my country. If I got to sacrifice myself, it’s for my country.”
488.) Washington Post: Hey, Liberal Readers! Hey, Liberal Bloggers! Help Us Dig Through The Palin Email Release Dump To Find Negative Information Requiring “Further Investigation”! – Howard Kurtz is delegating his thinking to a Daily Kos Diarist, and the Washington Post is subcontracting to the Huffington Post’s Reality-Based Community. More than 24,000 e-mail messages sent to and from Sarah Palin during her tenure as Alaska’s governor will be released Friday. Join The Post in digging through them. We are looking for 100 organized and diligent readers who will work alongside Post reporters to analyze, contextualize, and research the e-mails. Think of it as spending some time in our newsroom.
Pathetic. WaPo Asks For Help “Investigating” Palin Emails …Update: NY Times and LA Times Too – The New York Times is also looking for diligent readers to help them scour the Palin emails. The LA Times announced that they will post a database of Palin emails online.
Operation Get Sarah – Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin told The Daily Caller that the Times and the Post should just finally admit it: they are “left-wing organs.” Malkin wondered why these bold, new media-minded folks were not investigating the Obama administration.
“Where were all the crowd-sourcing champions at the New York Times and Washington Post when Democrats dumped the thousand-plus pages of the Obamacare and stimulus laws on the American people?” Malkin asked in an email to TheDC. “How about issuing an open call for collective public analysis of the nearly 1,400 recipients of HHS health care waivers? Or perhaps a project to pursue FOIA requests and reader information-gathering to probe Project Gunrunner?” Malkin said calls for reader help with investigations that are critical of anyone on the left “ain’t gonna happen, of course,” at the Post or the Times. “So perhaps these left-wing organs should simply abandon all pretenses and form a progressive consortium with the Huffington Post and Daily Kos to officially unveil Operation Get Sarah,” Malkin said. “Then they can submit their joint application for the Pulitzer Prize in public-service journalism while mocking Palin for her thin skin.”
NBC Predicts ‘Tough Day’ for Palin With Release of Email ‘Political Minefield’ – Without having seen a single email, national investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff argued that Palin “may now be facing a storm.”
VIDEO: Bozell Slams NY Times, WaPo for Deputizing Readers to Comb Through Palin E-mails – “This is [the mainstream media] participating in a character assassination campaign” and shows “exactly how much the media despise Sarah Palin and to what ends they’ll go to have her knocked out of this [presidential] race,” the Media Research Center founder argued, adding that it was unimaginable that they’d go to the same lengths to vet a Democratic presidential candidate like Bill Clinton or Barack Obama.
LA Times Won’t Release Obama-Khalidi Tape But Posts 24,000 Sarah Palin Emails – In 2008 The LA Times withheld a video that contained footage of Barack Obama celebrating with a group of Palestinians who were openly hostile towards Israel. Barack Obama reportedly even gave a toast to a former PLO operative, Rashid Khalidi, at this celebration. This was something the LA Times hid from the American public before the election. The media refused to release the video.
Behold The Mainstream Media Eating Its Own Anti-Palin Bile – A Running List of Headlines – CBS News is leading the charge, but it will not release the full content of Obama’s donor conversation caught on an open microphone.
489) What Are The Odds? Palin-Sniffing Media Can’t Wait To Rush A Palin Quote To Print (BTW, It’s Not a Palin Quote) – Politico thought this was how people actually talk. At least, how conservative Designated Villains talk. And they “quoted” Palin. Now they’ve apologized.
490) In New Zealand – Yahoo Says Sarah Palin Is Evil – That’s right; according to whoever writes the copy over at Yahoo! New Zealand, Sarah Palin is “evil”. … it says – Poor Tina – there’s something painful about resembling someone so evil
491) Did Lady Thatcher Snub Sarah Palin?… Not Likely – A far left crank at The Guardian this week reported this week that “aides” to Margaret told tham that, “Lady Thatcher will not be seeing Sarah Palin… That would be belittling for Margaret – Sarah Palin is nuts.”
Thatcher Foundation Responds to the ‘Palin Was Snubbed’ Report Saying, “The Guardian Has Minimal Credibility” – The Guardian, of course, is not a newspaper at all sympathetic to Lady Thatcher (or to Mrs. Palin), so reports on this topic, from that source, have minimal credibility. If nothing else, would Lady Thatcher have ever described a prominent US conservative politician as ‘nuts’, or approved an ‘ally’ who used the description? I would hope that question answers itself.
Confirmed: Lying Liberal Media Cranks Completely Manufactured “Thatcher Snubbed Palin” Story – I have spoken to Lady Thatcher’s Private Office regarding the story, and they confirm that the attack on Sarah Palin definitely did not come from her office, and in no way reflects her views. As a former aide to Margaret Thatcher myself, I can attest that this kind of thinking is entirely alien to her… There was never any snub of Sarah Palin by Lady Thatcher’s office. However, there has been a great deal of mischief-making and unpleasantness in a vain and futile attempt to use Margaret Thatcher’s name to smear a major US politician.
492) Did Palin change? or was the media hell bent on trying to destroy her? Is this the media’s finest moment? or most disgraceful? – Here are my questions…is the headline right and did Palin really change over the last 2 1/2 years or is this really an example of the media being lazy? just not doing its job and being hell bent on trying to destroy her rather than looking at the facts to see what she did do and did not do? Why didn’t the media look at her record before they formed their collective opinion? Did the media need to be spoon fed from her emails or could her record have been learned by other means?
493) John Ziegler: Palin Can’t Win And It Would Be Harmful To Even Try – What Palin and her many supporters apparently refuse to accept is that Palin is the Bo Jackson of modern Republican politics. She was a natural, but that talent has been taken away by circumstances beyond her control…. But like Jackson, she was cut down by “injury” in the prime of her career. The media-induced knee-capping during the 2008 election and its aftermath was grossly unfair, but it was also comprehensive and complete.
494) Did Palin Zone Out on Obama and Israel? Nope. – Her reference to settlement building as a mere “zoning issue” is considered by some to be more evidence that Palin doesn’t know what she’s talking about….But the scoffing at Palin is a bit overblown because, in the end, the question of where and where not to build is one that must be decided by Israel’s people. In that sense it is very much a local issue that the president was wrong to stick his nose into. If Palin thinks of it in terms of zoning, it may be because, unlike Obama, she takes it for granted that Jews have the right to be in their own country and build wherever it is legally permissible to do so.
495) Unbiased Headline of the Day; Update: Down the Memory Hole – The Unbiased Headline of the Day is posted just above pictures of Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin and Marco Rubio, and comes to us courtesy of the cable net that hosted last night’s Republican debate, CNN: (Wingnut Debt Ceiling Remains)
496) Lib Media Slams Sarah Palin for Writing Emails at an 8th Grade Level… Ignore Obama’s 7th Grade Level Speech – It turns out Palin’s writing skills are still better than most educated Americans. Global Language Monitor gave Palin’s emails a score of 8.2, which actually exceeds that of most chief executives…. Of course, the fact that Obama speaks at a 7th grade level doesn’t bother them. Obama was scored at grade 7.4 for his 2008 “Yes, we can” victory speech, which many consider his best effort.
497) Politico Reporter Vanderhei: ‘Not Any Single Reporter At Any Media Organization Thinks Palin Should Be President’ (Video) – Jim Vandehei of Politico, on Morning Joe today: “If you talk to any single reporter at any media organization that we’re aware of, I don’t think that anyone thinks she can be president or should be president. … But these same far left clowns still think the community organizer, even after his disastrous record, is qualified to lead for some odd reason.
498.) PALIN EMAIL SCANDAL: Sarah Palin Wrote Touching Letter 2 Weeks Before the Birth of Her Son – Palin-hater Andrew Sullivan has more on the quote.
499) Tracy Morgan Apologizes to Fans After Gay-Bashing Rant But Has Yet to Apologize to Sarah Palin – “Funny man” Tracy Morgan took a swipe at Sarah Palin recently during an interview at a NBA game. Morgan said she was “good masturbation material.” Of course, Morgan has yet to apologize to the Palin family for his sexist attack. But, after gay-bashing remarks this week Tracy Morgan was quick to apologize to the gay community.
500) Sarah Palin’s Critics Speak – Something unseemly has been found in Sarah Palin’s emails after all. Unsurprisingly, it was sent to her from one of her enlightened progressive critics. Don’t look unless you’ve developed a tolerance to liberal language
501) Bill Maher Goes After Bristol – The second objection, and this is the one I want to emphasize, is that it’s not funny. The reason I want to emphasize this is not because I think lack of comedic talent is a worse sin than a malicious attack on a young woman who never did any harm to anyone. No, it’s not that being unfunny is worse. It’s that Bill Maher is proud of going after Bristol, so pointing out how vicious this is is just validation for him, confirmation of how “edgy” and “brave” and “tough” he is. That criticism, for Bill Maher, is praise.
502) Sarah Palin Blasts Hollywood Stars as ‘Full of Hate’ at Movie Premiere – Sarah Palin stared a bit uncomfortably at a movie screen Tuesday night watching a montage of Matt Damon, David Letterman, Madonna, Howard Stern, Bill Maher, Louis C.K. and other celebrities malign her, then asked The Hollywood Reporter: “What would make someone be so full of hate?”
503) Official Liberal Funniness Rating: Bill Maher, Extremely Funny When He Calls Sarah Palin a C*** or a T***; Mark Halperin, Not Funny, When He Calls Obama A Dick – Of course, it’s not funny, not for the media. Oh how they laugh when Bill Maher drops the c-bomb on Palin. But calling Obama a dick? Why that’s just out-of-bounds.
504) Liberals’ Frankenstein Monster Runs Amok in Chicago – After returning home from investigating a pair of shootings, he said he flipped on the television to relax, only to find “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” being broadcast. “She was caribou hunting, and talking about the right to bear arms,” he said. “Why wasn’t she at the crime scene with me?”
505) Brit Hume Slams Michele Bachmann: “She Would Prove Too Toxic to Independents” (Video) – “In the end she would prove too toxic to independents much like Sarah Palin did… They would think she is just too much.”
504) Liberal Icon Bill Maher: Sarah Palin’s Children Are “Inbred Weirdos” (Video) – the leader of a strange family of inbred weirdos straight out of “The Hills Have Eyes,” that’s not sexist. I’m saying it because it’s true, not because it’s true of a woman.
505) Elitist FOX News Contributor Liz Trotta Bashes Palin and Bachmann (Video) – East-coast Palin-hater Liz Trotta is at it again. In July 2009 she accused Sarah Palin of being inarticulate and uneducated. Now the elitist FOX News contributor is going after both Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. She said they both studied at “Fleabag U.”
506) Sarah Palin Responds to Latest Media Lie: The Tour Is Not Cancelled – Imagine our surprise when reading media reports today that the “One Nation Tour” has been cancelled. Why didn’t anyone tell me? Oh, wait, that’s because it hasn’t been cancelled. (Good ol’ media… you never cease to amaze!)
507) Leftist ‘Guru” Deepak Chopra Mocks Sarah Palin in Angry Rant – It will be a devastating loss if Sarah Palin peddles enough books and visits enough gun shows that she has no incentive to run for President. There would be many chances for unique moments in the White House if she won. How about Sarah on horseback, riding through the Potomac basin like Paul Revere, ringing bells like he did and shouting, “The Democrats are coming!” That would give folks ample warning to quickly cling to their guns and religion before the left wing snatches them away.
508.) Levi Johnston’s Sister Poses Nude for Playboy – And talks smack about Bristol and the Palins.
509) Andrew Breitbart Lashes Out at Left at Smart Girls Summit: “They’re Doing to Me What They Did to Sarah Palin… If You’re Effective They Sue You” (Video) – Andrew Breitbart spoke at the Smart Girl Summit 2011 today at noon in St. Louis, Missouri. He held a question and answer session with the Smart Girls during lunch. Andrew spoke out about the case Shirley Sherrod brought against him and the far left’s attempt to destroy him.
510) Inevitable… Far Left Links “Right-Wing” Oslo Killer to Palin and Tea Party – When crazed Bush-hating leftist Jared Loughner went on a shooting spree in Arizona the left blamed Sarah Palin. When a crazed “right-wing” killer goes on a shooting spree in Oslo the the left blames Sarah Palin.
511) Father & Son Arrested For Stalking Sarah Palin – Threatened to Rape Her – Shawn Christy admitted in court to having threatened to rape Palin. His father AND mother were making threats, too.
Today the father and son were arrested on charges of harassing Sarah Palin. They claim the son had a sexting relationship with Governor Palin.
512) Chunky Attention Whore Complains About Sarah Palin Seeking Attention – Well you might as well ride the horse that brought you to town in the first place
513) Moonbat Comedian George Lopez Promises to Move to Canada if Sarah Palin Is Elected – Last year, Sarah Palin-hating comedian George Lopez said that if the former governor of Alaska ever became president, all Latinos would move back to Mexico. On Tuesday’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” he took this further saying that if Palin gets to the White House, he’ll move to Canada.
514) Karl Rove Says Sarah Palin Is Thin-Skinned… 3 Times 2 Minutes (Video) – FOX News analyst Karl Rove called Sarah Palin thin-skinned in an interview… Three times in two minutes. We get your point, Karl.
515) CNN Contributor Cafferty: Perry, Bachmann & Palin Supporters Seem to Be Allergic to Brains (Video) – Recently he also bemoaned a possible Palin run and gave credence to the conspiratorial theory that Bachmann and Perry are serious members of a theocratic fringe sect of Christianity.
516) Shocking New Expose On Sarah Palin Not All That Shocking – Joe McGinnis, the “journalist” who made headlines when he moved in next door to the Palin family in Wasilla in order to spy on them, has released his book.
517) Greta VanSusteren and Tucker Carlson Go At It, Hard, Over Daily Caller’s Tyson/Palin Post – Google “Daily Caller Tyson Palin” if you want to see the original story, and video, but be warned, the print digest of the Tyson interview is edgy and offensive, and the actual audio of the interview is probably NSFW. Locker-room sex stuff. And just in case it isn’t already risque enough, Tyson starts throwing in some weird racial stuff, too.
Mike Tyson: Sarah Palin Would Give Obama a Bl*w Job – More barbaric attacks on Sarah Palin. Just wondering… Is this it? Is there anything else they could say about Sarah Palin? The left has now broken every rule of civility in regards to Sarah. They must be very proud.
518.) The Sex Lives of Others – After citing a 2006 questionnaire in which Palin said she would support funding for abstinence-education programs and oppose “[e]xplicit sex-ed programs,” Wemple writes: “If Palin backs abstinence-only education and shuns talk of contraception and the like, then we are entitled to know whether her own lifestyle aligned with her rhetoric.” I think the argument is thoughtless and thuggish, but it’s also worth noting that Wemple has his facts wrong: Palin said that same year that she believes schoolkids should be taught about contraception.
519) The Palins Are Getting Divorced… Again – This is like the 27th time I’ve read this in the last 3 years.
520) Disgusting Leftist Verbally Assaults Bristol Palin: “Your Mother’s a Whore, a Devil… Did You Ride Levi Like That?” (Video) – Bristol Palin was out with friends at a bar recently. After she fell off a mechanical bull some leftist screams, “Your mother’s a whore. Did you ride Levi like that?” Bristol immediately went over to confront the thug who then went on to call her mother the devil who will go straight to hell.
521) Media Celebrates Horrible Thug Who Verbally Assaulted Bristol Palin (“Your Mother’s a Whore”) – Who Was Earlier Seen With Levi Johnston (Video) – The liberal media found their hero and interviewed him after the assault where, in true leftist fashion, he claimed that he was the real victim. The leftist also said he did not realize his verbal assault was being filmed even thought there was at least one television camera at the bar and several lights set up.
Bristol Palin Trounces a Middle-Aged Moonbat – …the 47 year-old coward who attacked this young mother isn’t some street bum. According to TMZ his name is Stephen Hanks and according to his Twitter feed he runs Stephen Hanks Management in Los Angeles and one of his clients is no less than actor Michael Vartan, who some of you might recognize from the long-running television show “Alias.” This gives a little insight into the mentality prevailing among the people responsible for defining our culture for us through movies and television.
Guy Who Called Bristol Palin’s Mom a “Whore” Very Upset She Called Him a Homosexual – Kind of interesting which slurs and insults he considers off limits. Curiously enough, it’s the ones directed at himself, and which upset him personally.
522) Sarah Palin Sends Letter to Crown/Random House; Warns Not to Destroy Docs Ahead of Potential Defamation Case – Indeed, Mr. McGinniss admits that the allegations are false unless he can find someone or something to show they are true. We know from the final book that he was unable to do so. It is malicious for your company to publish a book wherein it, and the author, admit that they were fully aware the statements in the book were false, intended to be false, and were intended to harm… In the interim, please take note of the following: It is unlawful to delete emails or destroy records upon being notified of the need of business records for litigation purposes.
Palin Lawyers Warn Publisher of ‘The Rogue’ Not to Destroy Documents Ahead of Possible Lawsuit – Over the weekend McGinniss was reportedly complaining that even outlets like Olbermann, Maddow and NPR are canceling his scheduled appearances or refusing to have him on at all. The above might offer a clue as to why. Not many media suits right now are going to want to take part in helping push a bombing book that could end up as an expensive and/or embarrassing legal headache.
523) Actor Orlando Jones Calls for Murder of Sarah Palin
524) Awful… Astronaut Mark Kelly & Piers Morgan Slander Sarah Palin – Blame Her for Tucson Shootings by Crazed Bush-Hating Leftist (Updated) – Last night former astronaut Mark Kelly and Piers Morgan slandered Sarah Palin and blamed her for the Tucson shootings by the crazed Bush-hating leftist.
525) Meghan McCain Declares That Standard English Usage And Grammar Is Not Pop Culturally Relevant To Her Generation – She’s talking about Sarah Palin, knocking her, and saying that Michele Bachmann is the thinking man’s Palin.
526) Komen for a Cure, has severed ties with Planned Parenthood – Abortion activists are “reeling” and, ISYN, have found a way to blame Sarah Palin.
527) Review: Iron Sky Sucks, Lame Sarah Palin Gags Are Off-Script In A Silly Movie About Space Nazis – It should have been a huge tip off when the President of 2018 is a Sarah Palin mock-off (Stephanie Paul) that the movie’s “relevant” comedy would be too easy and too blunt. It’s so on the nose that they should have gotten a mortgage on the left nostril.
528.) Is Steve Schmidt the Dumbest Guy in Politics? – He’s going after Sarah Palin again. He’s been doing this for years. Maybe there is something I don’t understand about politics, but shouldn’t you be at least a bit, um, political if you’re going to get into that game? He’s a campaign manager, for goodness sakes.
529) Ann Coulter Suggests Sarah Palin Is a “Charlatan” – Knocks Palin for interfering, as she terms it, in the Republican primary, while actually no longer being in politics.
530) Critics Erode Credibility with Dishonest ‘Game Change’ Reviews – A movie depicting a political candidate as mentally unstable, profoundly dumb and egomaniacal to the nth degree isn’t questioning his or her “worthiness as a candidate.” It’s simple. The aforementioned critics have such a deep-seated hostility toward the real Palin they simply couldn’t judge the film in a sober fashion.
531) Absolute Moral Authority: Bristol Palin Wants To Know When Barack Obama Will Be Standing Up For Her? – Dear President Obama, You don’t know my telephone number, but I hope your staff is busy trying to find it. Ever since you called Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a slut, I figured I might be next.
532) Ann Coulter’s “novelty candidate” swipe at Sarah Palin – Mitt Romney supporter Ann Coulter appeared on the ABC News Sunday show, “This Week,” hosted by former Clintonite George Stephanopoulos. Asked about Romney’s potential vice presidential picks, she said this (while seated at a table with former green jobs czar Van Jones, who served under the Biggest Novelty Candidate of Them All, Barack Obama) … Like her love object Chris Christie, Coulter has been taking many open shots at Palin lately. Florida’s great Shark Tank blog and the Daily Caller noted a few weeks ago that Coulter took nasty swipes at Palin at a Lincoln Day Dinner event
533) Obama supporter and donor Kathy Griffin: Bristol Palin is a big, old slut – She should just b on The Client List.RT @kyrawyllie: What do you think of “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp” on Lifetime? Haha
534) Chris Matthews Bombs on ‘Jeopardy!’ After Repeatedly Mocking Palin for How She’d Do – On at least four occasions, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews mocked Sarah Palin for how he felt she’d do if she were ever on the hit television game show Jeopardy!… In a delicious example of instant karma, the self-proclaimed brainiac got his chance to show America how smart he was in a special “Power Players” version of the show Monday, but came up quite short finishing dead last with the paltry sum of only $2,300
535) Martin Short Hints Palin Racist, Compares Bachmann to Taliban – Short called Palin “a woman who had never met a black man,”
536) White House Spokestool Jay Carney Defends Biden By Taking A Swipe At Sarah Palin – “Far be it from me to denigrate Senator McCain’s advice on vice presidential nominees,” Axelrod joked, making a reference to McCain picking Sarah Palin for the Republican ticket in 2008.
527) Bashir Not Punished for Saying Someone Should ‘Sh*t’ in Palin’s Mouth – After suspending Alec Baldwin’s show for anti-gay comments he made off the air, MSNBC has not taken any action against host Martin Bashir for his vile comments made on air on Nov. 15 in which he suggested that someone should defecate and urinate in former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s mouth.

Vincent Gioi

Monday 8 September 2008
Judging from the ludicrous attempts by Democrats and their liberal house organs that pass themselves off as the news media, the selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as McCain’s Vice President was a good choice; a very, very, good choice….
http://www.brookesnews.com/080809rightperson.html
The left’s mistake
“…But there’s a deeper reason for the foaming vituperation of the left at Mrs Palin’s candidacy. It is the same reason that they lash out at all those who are not on the left: their profound lack of confidence in their own belief system. At some subterranean level, they know they are wrong and that they cannot defend their own position. Which they simply cannot bear. This is because the left is always correct, everyone else is a conservative and therefore if they are wrong about anything they will also be — a conservative!…”

No. Did she try and outlaw teaching evolution in school or push creation science as Governor? No. Did she want to ban books in Alaska’s public library and fire a librarian for not cooperating? No. Was she a member of Alaska’s Indepedent party which at one time advocated separating from the Union? Um, No. Is Trig really her daughter’s child? No. The list goes on and on.

ABC obviously realizes the seriousness of this fraud, and they have attempted to cover-up their dishonesty. Most of the posted videos have been re-edited, and they even omitted this complete topic from what they now title “Gov. Sarah Palin: The Full Interview,”. which they broadcast on Friday night Sept. 12 on their 20/20 broadcast. Interestingly, the so-called “Full Interview” also omits Gibson’s now discredited question about “The Bush Doctrine.” The so-called Full Interview is available online here.
. But neither ABC nor Charlie Gibson has issued a public apology for this affront to Governor Palin and all religious people of the United States who they tried to defame with their dishonest portrayal. If only they accepted the concept of shame, we could say Shame on You!

Neo con does NOT equal conservative. It’s a Jewish, Zionist, Talmudic ideology with no intrinsic connection to conservatism.

Well Joe obviously prefers muslim islamic jihad. I`d rather have the zionists as a buffer against that anytime.
And now back to Sarah Palin, here`s an interesting observation:
A dispatch by Jason Szep of Reuters carries the headline “Palin’s Troubles Mount for McCain in White House.” What are these “troubles”? Here’s the list:
• An editor at Newsweek wrote a column saying that Palin is “unqualified.”
• Palin’s interviews with CBS, Fox News and ABC “raise questions over her nomination and dealings with the media.”
• Palin faces “a stubborn investigation into charges that as governor she abused her power by firing a public safety commissioner.”
• A conservative columnist “called on Palin to step down .”
• Palin has been mocked on “Saturday Night Live” and “Late Show With David Letterman.”
• A “conservative New York Times columnist . . . called her candidacy ’embarrassing.’ ”
• Mitt Romney “questioned the campaign’s strategy of restricting Palin’s media exposure.”
Except for the “stubborn investigation,” all of these “troubles” are troubles with the media. One wonders why Szep did not include his own article in the list.

The MSM won’t say how he is supported by Auchi who has given him a loan for election, nor will they report that he is in the pocket of Anti-Israli terrorists.

Hey there. I think you should learn to read. Even your FIRST item is wrong. Nowhere in that survey question does the word “trying” come up. The media hurts Palin, through no fault of its own, by simply showing people the idiocy that pours out of her mouth. It’s not deliberate, intentional, or biased. It just happens that media coverage hurts Palin because the more people realize how dumb, inexperienced, and unprofessional she is, the less likely they are to vote for her. Ergo, the media is hurting Palin. Nobody said they’re “trying” to. Oh right, I forgot, you’re a conservative blogger. You see what you want to see, and then bitch about it forever.

After the debate today with Sarah Palin I wonder where Joseph Biden is hiding. Hmmm Obama The Messiah is not bidden.
October 3, 08 at 6:30 pm
Captain Obvious mus be a comedy hero. Most of what`s commented would apply to that idiot communist senator of 30 years, Joe Biden.
“Hence a senator of 35 years can assert nonsense and avoid a criticism Couric lobbed at Palin, that she was “not always responsive when asked questions,” and sometimes slipping back to talking points. Really, Katie? Hooey. Senator Biden is a politician, as is Governor Palin, and he certainly slips back to talking points because he is a politician. Start with any phrase that begins with, “I’m the guy who…” and you have yourself a talking point. Memorize that.
THE REASON Governor Palin has performed badly up until last night is, by all accounts, because she’s been cramming for a test. What is revealing is not that she had to study, but that her advisers were bulls-eye correct that reporters would quiz her rather than interview her.”

I was very touched by Biden’s personal sympathy evoking story on how he managed to be a senator while raising his children on his own after his wife’s death. My question to him would have been, why then did you earlier question Sarah’s ability to do the same even when she has a husband and 3 older kids to help? Are we missing something?

Click on Todd Palin. Hmmmm, a negative story about troopergate.
Someone needs to tell those wingnuts over at CNN that Todd Palin is not general category like economy or weather. What a cheap way of getting people to read their crap.
Also, there is absolutely no story on ACORN anywhere on the website (nor was there on American Morning). Wouldn’t fair and balance suggest that if they want to throw Todd Palin in the same category as weather, then maybe Bill Ayers name should have had a link too?
I don’t mind political discourse between partisans. But I’m not going to tolerate the anti-Palin stuff. Sarah is the next great one, and I will lose my temper over it.

I agree. Let’s fight media bias together. There’s been a lot of talk in the corporate media about a Obama/Ayers “association”. Some claim that it’s been a long time coming.
But I’m still waiting for John McCain to denounce his unwholesome relationship with G. Gordon Liddy. Where is the moral outrage, and who hears cries of conspiracy from the Right regarding mainstream media’s suppression of this story?
Read the nasty details in THIS LINK to an article from May.
Here are some highlights:
“How close are McCain and Liddy? At least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy’s home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator’s campaigns — including $1,000 this year.
Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as “an old friend,” and McCain sounded like one. “I’m proud of you, I’m proud of your family,” he gushed. “It’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great.
Which principles would those be? The ones that told Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn’t disrupt the 1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?
Liddy was in the thick of the biggest political scandal in American history — and one of the greatest threats to the rule of law. He has said he has no regrets about what he did, insisting that he went to jail as “a prisoner of war.”
All this may sound like ancient history. But it’s from the same era as the bombings Ayers helped carry out as a member of the Weather Underground. And Liddy’s penchant for extreme solutions has not abated.
In 1994, after the disastrous federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, he gave some advice to his listeners: “Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they’re going to be wearing bulletproof vests. … Kill the sons of bitches.”
He later backed off, saying he meant merely that people should defend themselves if federal agents came with guns blazing. But his amended guidance was not exactly conciliatory: Liddy also said he should have recommended shots to the groin instead of the head. If that wasn’t enough to inflame any nut cases, he mentioned labeling targets “Bill” and “Hillary” when he practiced shooting.”

The real Sarah Palin came out in the “Troopergate” report. Troopergate resulted because Todd and Sarah Palin went into “trailer trash” revenge mode as is often the case with people of such character when they get emotionally involved in the divorce of anothe family member.
For example Saraha and Todd Palin tried to get Trooper Wooten charged with committing a crimminal act because he shot a Moose without a permit. Turns out Trooper Wooten’s wife at the time (Sarah’sister) let Trooper Wooten use her permit to kill the moose and then the moose was skinned by Sarah’a Dad. When it was pointed out to the Palins that charging Trooper Wooten for the crime of killing a moose without a permit would aslo require charging Sarah’s sister and Dad as accomplices, the Plains wanted no part of that scenario. They just wanted Trooper Wooten charged.

BUS ATTACK IN ST. PAUL!!… Anarchists Attack RNC Busses! (Video) …Update: Cub Scouts Attacked!
WELCOME TO MINNESOTA!
Anarchists in St. Paul attacked RNC busses today in route to the Excel Center.
The anarchists and Leftists knew when the busses would be heading to the convention and were waiting for them.
They nearly killed us!
The anarchists and antiwar nuts were protesting on top of the interstate overpasses earlier in the day.

Good if the Republicans lose. Then Joseph can be an Ayatollah, Reid can beat up Nancy Pelosi for not wearing burka and Obama can slap that black trash michelle and oprah for showing ankles:
October 30, 08 at 4:21 pm
I love to hear Obama supporters yelling about how Sarah Palin is going to lose the election for McCain. If that were the case then why is there such an intense hatred for her? If McCain wins, it will be because of her, not in spite of her and you all know it. Is it because she has more accomplishments and more courage than Obama? Is it because she’s a doer and not a talker? Is it because she says what she means and isn’t a bloviating bullshit artist? Is it because she loves her country and you haters on the left can’t handle that? I understand that the males on the left fear her and recognize that she could kick their ass but why do all the females on the left hate her? Is it because she can be an achiever, a leader, and a high profile woman that knows how to be a feminine woman, love her husband, love her kids, who still thinks it is appropriate to shave her legs and armpits?
October 30, 08 at 5:01 pm
Here’s a partial answer to your ponderings, Dave!
Why Do Liberal Men Hate Attractive Conservative Women?
November 4, 08 at 4:06 am
You’re about as hypocritical as right-wing bloggers get, and McCain/Palin ticket is drawing its last breaths in the hours preceding the election. 7 points will become 10, and the McCain camp won’t have a chance at contesting the election with a such a failure. Stop plaguing cyberspace with your hate-filled rhetoric, and stop taking the most extreme cases of liberalism and parading around claiming that everyone thinks that way. You’re a bloody idiot and a poor reflection on all of us Americans.
November 4, 08 at 9:12 am
1) Just because you say it, does not mean it is true – cite how I am being hypocritical.
2) The stuff I cite here contains plenty of examples of mainstream media bashing Palin. If that counts as ‘extreme’, it’s very telling of how deranged the liberal media has become. And since I just repeat what they are saying, therefore the only hate here must be from them towards Palin (and you towards me).
3) I am not American. If you bothered to even look at my sub-header LEADING MALAYSIAN NEOCON at the top of the page, you might have realized as much.
4) Obama is about to get thrashed, as his polling advantage shrinks to one point. And don’t forget that the polls always favour the Democrat candidate, until he loses!
November 6, 08 at 6:09 pm
Bottom line. McCain ran the worst campaign I have ever seen. And Palin wound up being a horrible choice. I really dont know if anyone could have beat the libs this year. But Palin 2012? No way. Im lookin at Mitt. Mitt. Mitt
November 6, 08 at 10:12 pm
If you’re going to use a newspaper to show the ‘US liberal bias’, perhaps you should us one from the US? In case you didn’t realize, Toronto is in a different country. The Toronto Star is NOT American.
November 6, 08 at 10:36 pm
This whole blog, along with the McCain/Palin supporters, crack me up. The ONLY people who I hear say, and read about, that say the mass media is biased liberal, are far right wing nuts, especially the religious nuts. The parts of this blog that had me laughing the most, were the ones coming out and saying that certain articles about Palin that appeared in newspapers like the NYT and the WP, were out right lies. The only lies I saw in this blog, were the ones that the author of this blog wrote. Palin DID try to ban books, of which she hadn’t even read. Palin DID fire the librarian, only to have the librarian get her job back. Palin allowed her husband, who was NOT elected and NOT employed by her or the Alaskan govt, access to public employess personal files/records, and also access to her and the state govt buildings and office. Basically, Palin did what I see most Repukes do, and that is run for office railing about abuse of power and corruption, and then turn around and do at least as much, if not more, of the very things they “railed” against. Palin reminded me of a Bush, only with lipstick, and even less intelligent. I laughed the hardest at the comments on here, about how McSame was going to easily win the election. The only people that Palin energized, and that really liked her, was the religious nuts, the big-time bigots, and of course, the moronic neo-cons like Kristol and Limbaugh.
November 6, 08 at 11:25 pm
My apologies if I offended any Canadians, but I do recall that my post mentioned nothing about exclusively targeting US media.
November 6, 08 at 11:30 pm
Oh really? I have to agree with you on the banning books part, Tom. Palin totally did not read them…
Because many of them hadn’t even been published back in 1996 when Palin ‘tried to ban’ them.
Case in point, Harry Potter. Lol! Great research, dude, where’d you get this one from – the Daily Kos comments?
If you managed to debunk 3 cases of Palin Derangement Syndrome, congratulations… Do you need more time for the other 130?
November 6, 08 at 11:42 pm
“This whole blog, along with the McCain/Palin supporters, crack me up.”
Weird guy, no crack before only got one when he came to this blog. Must have been crapping thru the mouth all this while then.

Dave B said… If that were the case then why is there such an intense hatred for her?
Less hatred and more disdain. She’s a mix of ignorance, arrogance, and religious zealotry. That pretty much makes her toxic to good governance.
All you need to do is look at her record. Like her total foul-up on the Wasilla sports complex, where she started construction before owning he land. (That blunder cost a town of 6,000 a total of $1.3 million … so far.)
Look at how she screwed up the nat gas pipeline bidding so bad that only one real company bid on it. The others passed. (Hint: A competitive bid process with only one bidder isn’t competitive.)
And look at either the Gibson or Couric interviews to see how little she knows about … anything. You are qualified to be V-P if you have that little knowledge of the world.
Scott Thong said… 4) Obama is about to get thrashed, as his polling advantage shrinks to one point. And don’t forget that the polls always favour the Democrat candidate, until he loses!
Haven’t been following the news. How’s that working out? Has Obama crashed and burned yet?
November 7, 08 at 5:37 am
How can the media be blamed for Palin’s demise when it was McCain’s staffers (her own people, I assume) who leaked the information, provided the fodder and the news rightly reported it as expected!
Not rocket science here, I hope. Wake up and smell de feet!
November 7, 08 at 6:18 am
Palin has given plenty of material for her own demise and removal from the spotlight. There is no such thing as the “liberal media”. These are multi-billion dollar companies who have only dollars at heart and these are conservative to right-wing organizations. This is a person who was seriously underqualified and did not represent the issues that face our country.
November 7, 08 at 7:36 am
She wasn’t ready! She may never have been “discovered” but McCain picked her before her time. Yeah, she’s hot but quit making excuses for her! She’s now the “Al Gore” of the Republican Party, forever branded by some stupid things she said. She’s damaged goods. Obama won because elections are won in the middle and she (and McCain) went too far to the right.
November 7, 08 at 8:31 am
“Obama won because elections are won in the middle and she (and McCain) went too far to the right.”
McCain lost the fight `cos he was playing centre field not becos he went too far to the right. Only when Palin came in did he get a boost. If not for her he would have had a worse showing. Unfortunately for him Palin came in late.
November 7, 08 at 8:37 am
After Bill Clinton won the 1992 presidential election, Hillary Clinton immediately announced that, henceforth, she would be known as “Hillary Rodham Clinton.” So maybe Obama can now become B. Hussein Obama, his rightful name.
November 7, 08 at 8:40 am
Republicans lost this presidential election, and I don’t blame the messenger; I blame the message. How could Republicans go after B. Hussein Obama (as he is now known) on planning to bankrupt the coal companies when McCain supports the exact same cap and trade policies and earnestly believes in global warming?
How could we go after Obama for his illegal alien aunt and for supporting driver’s licenses for illegal aliens when McCain fanatically pushed amnesty along with his good friend Teddy Kennedy?
How could we go after Obama for Jeremiah Wright when McCain denounced any Republicans who did so?
How could we go after Obama for planning to hike taxes on the “rich,” when McCain was the only Republican to vote against both of Bush’s tax cuts on the grounds that they were tax cuts for the rich?
And why should Republican activists slave away working for McCain when he has personally, viciously attacked: John O’Neill and the Swift Boat Veterans, National Right to Life director Doug Johnson, evangelical pastors Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and John Hagee, various conservative talk radio hosts, the Tennessee Republican Party and on and on and on?
November 7, 08 at 8:43 am
Indeed, the only good thing about McCain is that he gave us a genuine conservative, Sarah Palin. He’s like one of those insects that lives just long enough to reproduce so that the species can survive. That’s why a lot of us are referring to Sarah as “The One” these days.
Like Sarah Connor in “The Terminator,” Sarah Palin is destined to give birth to a new movement. That’s why the Democrats are trying to kill her. And Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved somehow, too.
After showing nearly superhuman restraint throughout this campaign, which was lost the night McCain won the California primary, I am now liberated to announce that all I care about is hunting down and punishing every Republican who voted for McCain in the primaries. I have a list and am prepared to produce the names of every person who told me he was voting for McCain to the proper authorities.
We’ll start with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. Then we shall march through the states of New Hampshire and South Carolina — states that must never, ever be allowed to hold early Republican primaries again.
For now, we have a new president-elect. In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president.
Starting tomorrow, if not sooner.
November 7, 08 at 9:53 am
I’ll give a simple comparison: How come the ‘not liberal’ media digs deep to report such things as Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy, Palin’s past beauty queen photos, Palin’s hunting hobby… Which have no impact on her capabilities as a leader…
But yawn when hard evidence of Obama’s connections to ACORN, Bill Ayers and Rashid al Khalidi surface? Or his comments about making energy prices skyrocket on purpose and bankrupting the coal industry?
Why are the questions asked of Palin trick ones like ‘Name a Bush Doctrine’, while those asked of Obama are softballs like ‘How would you feel if you won the White House’?
Why is it when Palin looks at the camera to speak, she is lambasted at avoiding eye contact with the host… But when Obama did that just a week ago, he was praised as talking directly to the audience?
Why is it that when US Magazine featured Michelle Obama, they praised her glowingly… But when it featurd Palin, it was on a now disproven claim that her daughter was Trig’s real mother?
Why is it that the press jumps of Palin having attended a Pentecostal church that speaks in tongues for a few years, but ignores Obama’s attending a Black Racist Supremacy church of God D*mn America for 20 straight years?
Why the harsh criticism of Palin’s inexperience and allegedly poor management, despite the fact that she has years of being Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska… But no mention of Obama’s mere 143 days of Senate and community organizing his district into ruins?
All the examples I cite are linked to above.
Obama is held to a different standard from Palin. Let me ask you honestly – If Palin went to a White Supremacist church for two decades, worked alongside a terrorist, enabled voter fraud, and called liberals ‘sour and clinging to their birth control pills’… What would the media and voters have done to her?
No bias? Please.
November 8, 08 at 12:49 am
But yawn when hard evidence of Obama’s connections to ACORN, Bill Ayers and Rashid al Khalidi surface?
Because ACORN has been investigated for years by Bush’s DoJ and they can’t find any instances where they actually caused multiple votes or invalid votes. This is a Republican red herring of the dumbest order. (Several U.S. Attornies were fired because they refused to press voter fraud charges without evidence. Heckuva’ job, Bush.)
Bill Ayers? So what? McCain bragged about his endorsement by Ms. Annenberg. Her and her husband funded the group that Ayers and Obama worked on (for education reform). Therefore, by your logic, John McCain bragged about the endorsement by somebody who funded a terrorist. (See how stupid that whole thing is?)
Khalidi? Are you joking? The man whose group was given a half million dollars by the REPUBLICAN group CHAIRED by John McCain, so they could continue their studies? Who McCain praised for his objectivity? THAT Khalidi?
Why are the questions asked of Palin trick ones like ‘Name a Bush Doctrine’, while those asked of Obama are softballs like ‘How would you feel if you won the White House’?
“Name the Bush Doctrine” was a trick question? It’s the single largest change in U.S. foreign policy direction in decades, and was the basis for invading Iraq, but it was a trick question. Oh … my … god. Is this site a parody? Is it a spin-off of The Onion?
Also, I guess you forgot that really tough one about “what newspapers and magazines do you read.” Answer? Any of them. All of them. I love it. She read all of the magazines published in the world. Hundreds of newspapers and news magazines, Reader’s Digest, Ladies Home Journal, Salt Water Sportsman, Field & Stream, Ping Pong News, Jet, Cosmo, Hustler…
Why is it that the press jumps of Palin having attended a Pentecostal church that speaks in tongues for a few years, but ignores Obama’s attending a Black Racist Supremacy church of God D*mn America for 20 straight years?
Dude, where were you during the primaries? They covered Rev. Wright for weeks. And Obama addressed it with one of the most amazing speeches on race ever given in this country.
Why is it that when US Magazine featured Michelle Obama, they praised her glowingly… But when it featurd Palin, it was on a now disproven claim that her daughter was Trig’s real mother?
Uh, while it means nothing to me, it is not a disproven claim. Palin refused to release her medical records. No records, no proof the baby is hers. (Which is really rather hypocritical when you realize that in her race for mayor, she demanded that her opponent produce his marriage certificate because his wife of many years had kept her maiden name.)
Why the harsh criticism of Palin’s inexperience and allegedly poor management, despite the fact that she has years of being Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska… But no mention of Obama’s mere 143 days of Senate and community organizing his district into ruins?
Why don’t you look here at Obama’s Senate record. A lot more impressive than Palin’s string executive foul-ups. And just how exactly did his community organizing put his “district into ruins”. Wasn’t it Sarah Palin herself that being a small town mayor was a lot like being a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities? Are you calling Palin a liar?
Palin took a number of her shots in the media because she provided the material. As the old saying goes, the first thing to do when you find yourself in a hole is to STOP DIGGING.
November 8, 08 at 12:09 pm
1) McCain bragged about an endorsement, but Obama worked with them for years. This is difference between Bush suddenly endorsing Obama, and McCain having followed policies that are like Bush’s.
2) I don’t deny that plenty of Republicans – Bush included – are IDIOTS who don’t see how the Islamic groups they are funding are often fronts for terrorist and anti-Jewish movements.
As you an from the above, McCain is a Centrist moron. He’s an aisle-reach-acrosser on global warming, drilling, immigration, taxation… Palin the neocon is the only thing that stopped him from losing the Conservative vote.
3) On the Bush Doctrine… Even the interviewer couldn’t answer that one. And I reiterate my case: If it’s so important, why wasn’t Obama – Presidential candidate, not Vice Presidential candidate, asked that?
4) On churches… So why is it it’s okay for Obama to be ‘religious’, but when Palin does it she’s a fundie nut who wants to wage apocalyptic war?
5) Aha! Got you on this one. If Palin refusing to release her records is such a big matter, why aren’t you calling out Obama on refusing to release his birth certificate, his education transcripts, his state records, and basically anything else people ask to see?
6) Obama’s what? You mean where he voted PRESENT most of the time, except when it was to vote against laws protecting abortion-surviving, born-alive babies, 4 times? I already gave the link showing exactly what Obama’s community looks like after his ‘organizing’, here it is again. That’s the difference between successful and lousy organizing. Welcome to Obama’s America of the future.
Whatever Palin’s faults or non-faults, the media gave her a disproportionately negative spin. Just browse through the list on this page – much of it is by the mainstream media.
A claim that someone shouted “Kill him!” about Obama at a Palin rally, disproven by the Secret Service? Big news, except leave out the disproven part. Liberals threatening to beat and kill Palin, on tape? YAWN…..
Obama’s family? Off limits! Palin’s children? Fair game!
‘Palin’ gang raped in an art performance? Hung in effigy from a noose? Depicted being ‘drilled’ in various ways? Zzzz…
Obama depicted as Curious George? RACISTS!!!!!
Bush depicted as a chimp and Condoleeza as a n*gger house mama? Hahaha, that’s really funny humour!
All I ask is that the media treat Obama and Palin, and more generally liberals and conservatives exactly the same way… Whether gently or savagely. Thats is what the media is supposed to do, isn’t it?
November 10, 08 at 6:46 am
The best political interview that you’ll hear today.
Palin discusses future Presidential plans.
This interview transcends awesome. Even crystallized awesome. This is awesomeness on a level that warps the very space-time continuum itself, and you will end it feeling remarkably chipper about the future. Not to mention counting the days until she can begin her Presidential run. I don’t want to give any spoilers away, but I’ll say this: she’s very much aware of the importance of both Florida and Montana.
If some of you are wondering why we react so well to Governor Palin, listen to this interview, and you might get it.

I see the Sarah bashing as a way in which detractors acknowledge Sarah’s greatness. We know that if they weren’t so afraid of her exposing their liberal views for the intellectually bankrupt and fraudulent ideas and agendas they are, they wouldn’t feel so compelled to attack her so intensely. Also, notice how she has survived the beatings with hardly a scratch. She is one tough woman. Her ability to emerge from the smear as the rock star she is now is proof positive that she has what it takes to be president.
