Media loves to hate Sarah Palin
Boston Herald ^ | Howie Carr

Posted on 09/06/2008 9:52:36 PM PDT by Chet 99

The Beautiful People just won’t let up on Sarah Palin.

It’s become a regular “60 Minutes”/Texas Air National Guard feeding frenzy of bogus reporting out there. The whoppers about Palin are piled up so high in the moribund mainstream media that the wrinkly newsreaders have taken to blaming their most scurrilous, sexist screw-ups on those nefarious unnamed left-wing “bloggers” - you know, like Brian Williams.

Why do the pampered poodles of the elite media loathe Sarah so much? Let’s go down the list.

Sarah Palin is now so mythological, that she farts thunder bolts!

I pity the poor SOB Dems in the debates.

She has so much press, that she doesn't have to go on any talk shows, and the MSM is screaming bloody bluemurder " She won't come on our talk shows, she won't talk to us!" DUH?

Dick Cheny does business only with FOX. Watch Sarah do the same.

The “bloggers” are the only people doing “reporting” now for the MSM because readership and viewership is at such an all time low. The MSM has laid off or fired so much staff and the “bloggers” will smear for free.

The media’s hatred of Sarah began the minute she threatened to keep them out of power for another four years.

Why, up on the stage, it has been noted that you can distinguish Sarah’s ankles from her calves. She’s never had a Botox injection. The hags of the Hamptons speak as one on this issue. Snow White Palin must be stopped. Anybody got a poisoned apple?

...You must understand printing lies about Republican candidates is OK. It’s called “vetting.” Printing the truth about liberals - that’s called “swift-boating.” From career MSNBC jock sniffer Keith Olbermann to Barney Frank’s favorite publisher Jann Wenner, the verdict on Palin is unanimous.

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Does the MSM do any legitimate investigative journalism anymore? Or do they just read Daily Kos?

I still can’t believe that a series of smear stories against Sarah and her family and daughter came directly from a stupid blogger at Daily Kos. You really lose respect for the MSM when they read idiotic rantings on Daily Kos, and decide that’s all the research they need to do to go with the story about Sarah’s daughter being the mother of Sarah’s news baby, and that whole situation.

Totally shameful. Does the MSM have shame? Or does anything justify electing Obama?

Howie speaks the ugly truth. FWIW, I think it was backlash from the Dan Rather ANG story that turned more voters than the swift boat truth telling. Not to mention the “I’m John Kerry, and I am reporting for duty” fiasco at the DNC convention.

Biden’s son is in the National Guard from what I read. Sarah has a son in the regular military. During Bush/Gore the haughty one, John Kerry “I was in Viet Nam” ( for a few months- finding a loop hole in the regulations) bragged about the real military and the National Guard. A flunky with a man-servant vs a fighter pilot-— UNREAL.

Thursday or Friday the Hillary Clinton PUMA blog posted an article reposted on FR identifying the Kos blogger by name as Obama’s campaign manager.

Let them hate her and show their hate. The more they do, the more Sarah's reputation and worth to the public at large will grow.

The liberals do not get it, the media does not get it, and they are digging themselves a hole the entire time which they will fall into.

This wholesome, all-American, woman and family have more mettle than these idiots ever thought about having and they better take a harder look at them...and then the libs should be afraid, very afriad.

He forgot to mention the 2 babies that the Establishment press wanted killed and the Palins chose to keep. To the left choice means abortion. She is the modern day Clarence Thomas.

Biden's son is JAG with the Delaware National Guard. Will probably be in a rear support capacity.

Palin's son is an Infantry Soldier with the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team. His job will be to provide security for his commanders. He will be locked and loaded!

McCain's son is a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps and has recently returned from deployment in Iraq where he was on patrols in harm's way. He also has a son in the Naval Academy.

I’d love to see them get on an AMTRAK (or “friendly rails” train, maybe there aren’t any others?) and do a day of a yesteryear whistle stop campaign. Would that be cool or would it be too retro?

Oh, I hope it is true!!!! I suppose she'll have to distance herself from Ann. She's got a real tightrope to walk.

It's funny, but you never know who's listening to talk radio. One evening a pizza delivery car stopped across the street as I was out for a walk. He was listening to Sean!

That's funny. I work for a printing company. We have a delivery driver who is an immigrant from El Salvador. He spends most of his days driving so he listens to the complete local run down. Rush, Sean, JD Hayworth....

He just started his own right wing themed bumper sticker business also.

What makes me sick.

The people who are trying to destroy Sarah are same people who were burning their bras and marching through the street for womens rights 40 years ago. The same people who claim to be “pro choice”. Evidently they are only pro choice for the people who make the choices they like.

If they were genuine feminists, they would be proud of Sarah. Here is a newsflash, they are not genuine. They are being exposed for the miserable frauds that they really are. The American people are watching them collapse.

It is like they are saying Sarah is not a real woman because she used her vagina for reproduction. It is twisted. They are the ones who are judgemental. If she would have had a couple of abortions or a lesbian affair, they would love her.

I have noticed a trend in the talk show circuit since Palin's speech. Women call and they start out by saying "As a woman, I would like to express my opinion regarding Sarah Palin. I am an independent, I don't vote specifically for one party..." Riiiiiiight!

Then they say that since Palin's speech they will vote for Obama because she was filled with rage and did nothing but offer criticism. I laugh!

These are genuine moonbat callers but one woman actually said "I am a moderate democrat, no, conservative moderate democrat..." Yikes, she couldn't get her talking points down correctly. Then she shrieked at Howie Carr when she was exposed. They are quivering at the thought of the Messiah losing.

Sen. Joe Biden’s son, military lawyer Beau Biden,

Biden is a Judge Advocate General in the 261st signal brigade of the Delaware National Guard.

Beau is the Delaware attorney general and a captain in the Army National Guard

******

SOME people are wondering why now?

“Bidens son whose been in the National Guard for “years” FINALLY scheduled to go to Iraq in Oct. !!!”

“Bidens son who’s in the NG is scheduled to start his FIRST middle east tour (after most others have done 4 or more tours) .......gezzz, SEVEN YEARS after the war started !!!”

“Gee, I wonder why the Pentagon hasn’t done deployed the Delaware Army National Guard’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps to Iraq at least a dozen times before this (Okay, to be honest I am wondering why they are going now)”

Here is what popped up as I signed on my internet explorer.

“Lawmaker accused of politicizing Palin probe.....
A Republican lawmaker wants the Democrat overseeing an investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin’s dismissal of her public safety commissioner removed because he seems intent on damaging her vice presidential candidacy. Full Story >> “

Double negatives and prompts like probe and investigation. They haven't learned a thing.

Beau Biden, a partner in a private law firm

Biden, 37, who has been a lawyer for 10 years and has served as a federal prosecutor

Republicans have sought to cast Mr. Biden as an inexperienced lightweight who is riding the coattails of his famous father, Sen. Joseph R. Biden, D-Del.

GEE, YOU THINK?!

only four years as a member of the Delaware Bar, Mr. Biden could not serve as a Family Court judge or in other legal capacities and has never prosecuted a capital murder case

Several times during his kickoff speech Thursday, Mr. Biden highlighted his resume, which includes time as a JAG Corps lawyer in the Delaware National Guard and seven years in the federal Department of Justice. His campaign also gave reporters statements from a slew of former state and federal prosecutors, including two of Delaware’s ex-attorneys general, supporting the Democrat.

former FBI director Louis Freeh, who worked with Mr. Biden at the U.S. Department of Justice from 1995-97, in a Wednesday letter.

Mr. Biden’s family was well represented at Thursday’s announcements. His aunt, Valerie Biden Owens, who manages his father’s campaigns, introduced him. Mrs. Owens’ daughter Missy, Mr. Biden’s cousin, is running the attorney general campaign.
