Smarmie Charlie didn't really ask questions, he made these inane statements that were presumed to be questions. The worst was "Homosexuality, genetic or environmental"?!! Pllleeease, what the H*@^ kind of question is that to ask of a Vice Presidential candidate. He wouldn't even ask that of the REVERENT Reverend Wright.

Charlie can act like he thinks Sarah isn’t qualified all he wants by trying to act all intimidating during the interview and hostile and throw really hardball questions all he wants. But when he asks such soft-ball questions to Obama, we know who he REALLY thinks is unqualified. Clearly, Charlie is afraid to ask Obama the questions he knows he should ask Obama, because Obama couldn’t handle the questions at all and that would expose Obama for the fraud that he is. Sarah handled the interview very well, it was an extremely hostile, combative style of questioning. I was shocked and she did very well, it was clear she knew what she was up against. Sarah is very qualified.

Here’s a truly egregious thought: Given the psychotic bile even the “respectable” left is currently disgorging, how soon will it be until the assassination porn the left threw at W comes falling down on Sarah? The novels, movies—and worse—being planned now? I really fear for her safety. And let’s not forget, Oswald was a flaming leftist commie!

Ah! I see it now -— Obama got the “affirmative action” treatment from ABC. And Palin didn’t because even though she was born a woman she is still a Republican, which, to liberals, femi-nazis, media-types, is just as bad as being a man. Thus Palin got the tough questions and now American voters respect her even more, while Obama got the easy “affirmative action” questions and American voters respect him even less. Thanks ABC, thanks Charlie!

Wait till the VP debates....it will be the biggest opportunity yet for the media to torpedo Palin. Yes, they will try, they don’t care if America gets upsets and writes emails. They will support their candidate.

If you ever want to hear a professional interview by a fairly well-known individual, listen to Hugh Hewitt interview someone.

Hugh is an excellent interviewer and a pit bull to boot -- it is amazing and wonderful how many times Hugh's interviews have lead Liberals to eviscerate themselves on the public airways!

I listened to Hugh regularly for more than five years, even when I had to make excuses for him (such as defending the very stupid appointment of Erwin Chemerinsky as Dean of UCI's new law school). But the Primaries were the last straw. Hugh completely revealed himself as a pointy-headed intellectual lawyer Country Club Republican. I lost the bulk of my respect for him as an eloquent spokesman for, and defender of, small government conservative principle, when he dove so completely in the tank for Nanny Government Republican Mitt Romney, despite Romney's obvious and documented Liberal mentality. Now I listen to Larry Elder and am more enlightened and validated for it.

It was always a fine line between Larry Elder (same time slot, different station) and Hugh, anyway, and in that regard, Larry is like Rush: one of the only talk show hosts with whom I haven't become disillusioned after many years of listening. Larry, like Rush, is genuinely a small-government conservative who actually grasps the principles. Larry's father, from how Larry relates info about him, sounds like an American hero of the first order.

But you're right -- Hugh is hands-down one of the finest interviewers out there. Thanks for the reminder -- when Larry Elder is preempted for baseball (790 KABC, same time slot as Hugh in the LA market), I'll tune in to Hugh or, better yet, visit Hugh's website for transcripts of his interviews so I can continue to learn from Hugh.

Well, I don’t buy any of that stuff but Target I get my meds there and AT&T is my internet and I ain’t changing lol
but I have sent out a sample of the Palin edit hatchet-job to my email list (such as it is) so hopefully that gets enough attention that at least some people realize what’s going on.
I wish Fox would do a story on the ABC edit business.

Actually Larry Elder is not a conservative. He is a libertarian in his political philosophy, who became a Republican only within the last couple years. I also very much enjoy listening to him.

Yeah, I remember when he officially became a Republican. I was so pleased about it! As far as I'm concerned, the Republican party could do with more Libertarians. To me, small government and Christian respect for individual dignity ala "do unto others" is the foundation of true conservatism, and it so happens that the Libertarian philosophy embraces much of that. Sadly, so many hold that the sole common denominator of "conservative" is to be pro-life and anti-abortion; that's all it takes to be "conservative."

That is a bad thing because it is only ONE of the denominators, albeit a very emotional one that appeals hugely to self-gratification, as opposed to hands-off free market moral conservatism, which requires the setting-aside of emotions and temptation to "protect" people from themselves. Big government advocacy and conservatism are oil and water; many a big government "conservative" latches on to the Republican party wearing a conservative patch, but in essence failing to embrace the foundation of conservatism. I think we should all beware of this.

For example, so we get a whole bunch of women switching parties from Dem to Republican because they love (as do I) Sarah Palin -- yet they bring with them a still-confirmed belief that government has a right to interfere in everything from parental consent to "equal pay" laws on business and commerce. What they seek and like in Palin, they do not understand is the product of an independent, personal-responsiblity, mind-your-own-business, small government freedom conservative who would say NO to most of their crap.
