A NOTE FROM LIBERTY ROCKS:
I watched a video segment about Sarah on ABC just a few moments ago and to tell you the truth, it wasn't that biased, at all! (Certainly not in the least comparable to some of the filth I've seen out there.) It was actually pretty nice - they interviewed the current mayor of Wasilla who was very supportive of Palin. When they asked her how she thinks Palin will weather the current storms she mentioned that Palin had true grit and that she would do, just fine.
I will be attending a good friend's wedding tomorrow evening/night, and I will also be working on the "Palin Pingers" website this weekend, so I will be sending out the next issue of this "Newswire" on Monday, September 8. In the meantime, please feel free to keep using the keywords, and ping me to articles you would like everyone to hear about...
Have a fun & safe weekend everyone!
Take care & God bless,
LibertyRocks
Are you gonna’ have a *Palin-ping* list? I’d like to be on it if you do.
Thanks
Related thread to above:
People are asking for Sarah Palin style eyeglasses (Vanity)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2072539/posts
Put me on that list please!
Really fine work. Can you add me to your list?
Ping me:)
Thanks for the ping-a-ling. You rock!
Ping your lists.
They are coming to a town near you!
Get out those SARA CUDA! Signs and also those huge "NO AMNESTY!" and "BUILD THE FENCE!" signs they can see from 400 yards away.
Let us support show support and also get the word out about the new turn the GOP made with the 2008 Platform on Illegal Immmigration, a no-lose issue for the GOP this year. 80-90% of Americans opposed to socialist Obama's position. Sarah can also hit this one out the park and make them ALL look like fools. Country First!!
ping!!!
I’ll add posts to this thread through the weekend if I run across anything special, or with a time line attached! LOL
SO...
FReep This Poll, Please:
How do you feel about Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate? - The York Daily Record - Access the link here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2075815/posts
Thank you so much for helping spread the word! :-) I appreciate it.
Thank you for the compliment, Peggy! :-)
You’ve been added to the list, GeoPie! :-)
Thank you so much for the compliment! You’ve been added to the list!
You’ve been added!
That is great news! It means that not only did people like what they heard, but they really liked her, too! She made a connection with them. It’s a wonderful thing!!! No wonder the liberals are being so vicious! LOL
I’ll be adding you to the list, papasmurf [love the screen name! :-) ].
I may start doing individual pings on the weekends, when I don’t have time to do a full “issue” such as this just because it’ll take a lot less time.
Please, dont apologize for being "late". This is one heck of a task you so graciously accepted to do for us and you're doing an excellent job! You're kinda like a "community organizer"....but with an actual purpose!!!
I would like to be added to the list. Thanks!
No problem, indylindy! You’ve been added. :-)
LOL... You won’t believe it but I was just saying that same thing to my husband earlier! I said, “I’m kind of like a “virtual” community organizer”! ROFL Too funny. Must be that great minds thing they’re always talking about! ;-)
Have a good Saturday, NGZ. And thank you for your support! :-)
A reprise of the story line of "True Grit" - we have our own "Mattie Ross" to follow "Rooster Cogburn" into wild territory and hunt out "Lucky Ned Pepper".
Good work again, Liberty.
Hahaha, damn us and our great minds!!! You too have a good one, and thanks again!
WOW Liberty! You have put a lot of work into this! Thanks for the ping!
Thank you, and thanks for doing our work for us.
Excellent information, thanks for the links.
Have a fun weekend.
I had a car that ate alternators.
Got so bad that I carried a spare with me.
did you get it to running?
Hugs.
Hi there... It started this morning for him - NO PROBLEM! After working on it most of the night he was resigned to having to ride his bike to work next week until we got his paycheck and could have it towed and fixed! Now, he goes out this morning, and it starts, first try!
We have basically come to the conclusion that God did NOT want us to go to that wedding for some reason. That’s the only explanation we can come up with, really. That it wouldn’t start, and wouldn’t start, and then all of a sudden 16 hours later it’s running just FINE??? VERY odd... We’ll definitely take it in to get checked just in case, but it’s all quite odd to say the least.
Hi everyone... So, I’ve got today’s issue of the Palin Ping List halfway done, but I’m getting a migraine aura and I’ve got to get offline or it’ll only get worse! (VERY FRUSTRATING!)
SO... Tomorrow’s issue will be “bigger and better” than ever! LOL In the meantime, keep using the Keywords to see all the latest on Sarah, and of course, be sure to stop by http://www.JohnMcCain.com to check out the highlights, and upcoming campaign events calendar...
Take care everyone and we will resume our regularly scheduled “Newswire” issues tomorrow! ;-)
Thanks for the ping..hope you feel better.
I get migraines, too, and they are sometimes horrific. Hope you’re feeling better.
Thanks so much... The aura doesn’t seem to have developed into a full-blown migraine (Thank God), but I will be taking it easy for the rest of the night...
You’re welcome, and thank you! The aura has gone finally, and hasn’t been replaced by any pain, so... so far so good!!! :-) YIPPEE!
Feel better soon!
Thanks Velveeta! The aura has come and gone thankfully, and has NOT been replaced with a full-blown migraine. That I am very thankful for...
Praying that you get well fast.
Thanks for the update!!!
[NOTE to 4woodenboats - You have been pinged on this post because you are mentioned below. See the Activist Information section. :-) ]
Dear “Palin Pingers”,
ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! If it’s not one thing it’s another. Yes, I’m truly frustrated at the moment!
I’ve got a 6 mo. old Gateway Computer running Vista Home Premium with 1 TB Memory (can’t remember the RAM off-hand) and a Quad-Processor, and it’s decided to go batty on me in the last few days!
The blue screen of death has been making it’s appearance known quite frequently over the last few hours. Needless to say I’ve got to do some quick backing up of my computer, just in case.
I think I may have identified the problem, and I will be working through some solutions I have found online. PLEASE — cross your fingers, and definitely pray I can fix this myself. I’m not too keen on the idea of needing to bring my computer in to the shop! [Before anyone asks - yes, I have virus protection, spyware protection, etc... and my computer appears to be clean. LOL]
Anyway, I wanted to make sure you all knew what was up, and that I wasn’t “blowing off” my chosen volunteer responsibilities to this list. I’ve got SO MUCH information to share with you all, and it’s truly frustrating that things have gotten in the way yesterday and today.
In the meantime, please remember to use the keywords - there are a TON of great articles (and some pretty slanderous ones as well) that have been posted over the last few days.
IMPORTANT ACTIVIST INFO.:
One thing I’d definitely like to direct your attention to for a little activist activity is an article that was published in Salon.com today written by Juan Cole. He states in the title that the only difference between Palin and an Islamic Fundamentalists is Lipstick! It only gets worse from there.
EVERY SINGLE accusation leveled in this article is complete fabrication. The “facts” he cites have all been debunked by major MSM news outlets (how often does THAT happen?), FactCheck.org, and the McCain/Palin campaign (not to mention numerous blogs), and STILL he insists on writing this easily dis-proven tripe.
You can view an excerpt, and the thread here at FR: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2078316/posts
I would like to ask all of you - if you have time - to please consider writing a letter to the editors of Salon.com.
Please note, you will need to send an email as the “letters” function located at the bottom of the articles is NOT a letter to the editor link, and is only a glorified comment system (one which you’ll have to sign up for an account to post as well). These comments will NOT necessarily be read by the editors, or even the author presumably. However, emails written to the following address will (supposedly) be read by those “in charge”.
Here is what Salon.com publishes on their site regarding submitting letters NOT for publication:
~~**~~**~~**~~
Send a letter to Salon’s editors
To submit a letter to Salon that is not for publication, e-mail readermail@salon.com . All letters sent to this address will be read by Salon’s editors. We’re sorry that we can’t respond to every e-mail we receive, but we appreciate any and all feedback, positive or negative. Thanks!
~~**~~**~~**~~**
Also, FReeper 4woodenboats, has suggested that others may wish to follow his lead and contact Salon.com’s major advertisers. One company which he has already contacted is Sprint. You can see the quick email he wrote to Sprint in his post here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2078316/posts?page=41#41
Alright, well I’d better post this before my screen turns blue again! LOL I hope you are all doing well, and I’ll “see” you all tomorrow, if not sooner.
Thanks again for everyone’s understanding. I truly appreciate it!
Take care & God Bless you & yours,
LibertyRocks
Good luck with the computer, Liberty. There is nothing I hate more than “computer problems!”
If you need any tech help, FReep mail me for my phone #. I’m up all night.
Thanks for the ping.
A little more info. about the Juan Cole/Salon.com column. He has also published this on his personal website/blog. Please see this URL: http://www.juancole.com/2008/09/cole-in-salon-whats-difference-between.html
You can leave a comment at his site, or email him directly at jricole@gmail.com
Thanks so much, KansasGirl. :-)
Thank you so much for the offer. I will definitely keep it in mind!
You’re welcome. :-)
Another advertizer that I'm going to write to is American Express, but I'm going to try to get that a little higher up the ladder by calling investor relations and findng a suit that will promise to read it (I also would rather get a response than trash my card!) .
If anyone has a list of slimeball sites and their advertizers, perhaps we could write a quick column for an analyst/commentator site such as "Seeking Alpha". I've never seen exactly that sort of letter posted by them, but they do post individual's take on a wide variety of market influences, so if we send them a brief essay on how destructive hyperpartisanship is to marketing product and reputation, well, ya never know.
