CNN: Palin Not Invited to McCain Funeral Because She Began Era of “Vitriol”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/30/2018 4:46:22 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Remember Ted Kennedy in 1987 claiming that if the Senate confirmed Robert Bork to the Supreme Court, “women would be forced into back-alley abortions [and] blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters?” Not vitriolic.

How about the 1991 “high-tech lynching” by Senate Dems of Clarence Thomas? Again, not vitriolic.

Or the infamous NAACP dragging-death ad of 2000 in which George W. Bush was accused of killing the victim all over again? Nope, not vitriolic.

No, the political vitriol didn’t begin until 2008. And it was Sarah Palin’s fault. That is, if you believe CNN, and, apparently, John McCain. This morning, CNN’s senior White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny said:

“By not having Sarah Palin at the service as well, and this was the wishes of his family, we are learning, he is also trying to perhaps put something back in the bottle that he helped, sort of, create in that 2008 campaign. That’s when this vitriol was sort of first beginning.”

I hold child molesters in more esteem than I do McCain.

The way McCain allowed Sarah Palin to be continuously attacked and did nothing to defend her caused me to loose what little respect I had for him.

Who sent teams of lawyers to harass and hound out of office Governor Palin?

Here’s that infamous TV ad in which W was accused of killing the dragging-death victim.

Nope: not vitriolic.

Indeed. The libs and the media completely lost their minds! At that point, they no longer cared how knew it!

We hate you because you’re guilty of making us hate you.

"Lionel" of Lionel Nation YouTube said of the adoration McCain is getting that 'death does not bring absolution'.

Thank you John McCain, the McCain family, and all you McCain handlers for reminding us why absolution was needed!

Makes sense to me, that the McCain family would reject Palin for this event. Tough call though, which way (expressly request she stay away, or just roll with whatever) results in a more positive outcome, being attention to the life of McCain.

It makes sense that the family wants to erase the Palin period from McCain's history. The family despises Palin and those who stand by her.

But the express disinviation draws attention to the ideological split, and may overtake the narrative that the McCain family prefers to advance at this moment.

PALIN began the “era of vitriol??” This would be after democrats personally attacked her family, including her youngest son with Downs Syndrome, launched a series of frivolous “ethics charges” while she was AK’s governor, accused her 14-year-old daughter of bedding Alex Rodriquez, and attempted mass murder in the arson burning of her church in Wasilla... right?

Wouldn’t it be neat if she could be appointed to fill McCains seat? Sold her Az. property but you never know.

Actually, it’s easy to see why radical leftist news organizations like CNN can think that Palin “started the vitriol”. She was among the first of this political generation with the cojones to fight back against the deep seated bias of the Swamp. Historically, wimpy political pragmatists (like McCain) had to ignore the constant attacks from the radical leftist media, and smile, and pretend to be “bi-partisan”. Sarah didn’t. She exposed them for what they were. I’m quite sure she doesn’t even want to waste the time hobnobbing with them now. McCain is in no position to object.

Vitriol ? You mean like when the media said “you can put lipstick on a pig” ?

No, but it is a symptom!
