They know something. There is a swift-boating about to happen. A last minute revelation just prior to the election thats gonna be devastating to the GOP.

The NYT will never print anything that doesn’t ultimately hurt the GOP.

Lighten up.

This was a postive portrayal of Sarah Palin from the NEW YORK TIMES!!!!!!!!!

I think you are blinded by your hatred of the NYT to see that this article really makes Sarah Palin out to be a really special kind of woman.

We should all e-mail the NYT and thank them for being objective for once.

The Nielsen ratings showed that Palin attracted a huge female audience of 19.5 million women, nearly 5 million larger than the third day of the Democratic convention when Hillary Clinton spoke.

The third day of the GOP gathering also attracted more Hispanic viewers than the third day of the Democratic gathering — 1.4 million to 1.2 million — even though Univision and Telemundo did not carry the Palin speech.

The special that Greta just hosted had Sarah pregnant in it. They need to watch that before the writers at the Grey Lady throw out trash.

Print the truth, not gossip!

[Mr. Silverback]

Few Downs Syndrome kids live to be older than 40. Heart trouble.

**Three days after giving birth, she returned to work.**

And took the new baby to work with her as she had done with other children.

Babygate???

Don't be on it. You can't swift boat someone with character.

Once in a while that NYT actually prints something that may help the NYT, even if it helps their adversaries. I'm beginning to think that the MSM may be waking up to the fact that EVERYONE knows they are in the tank for Obama. They either need to print something objective once in a while, or they will end up as a scandal sheet in the supermarket check out lines.

Did you notice that MSNBC dumped Olberman and Matthews from election coverage? Did they do that because they know there is a swift boat about to sink Palin?

Put away your tin foil hat. This is a moment to be treasured.

[Mr. Silverback]

Actually, I was wrong...looks like the life expectncy is now about 49.

[frogjerk]

Most had learned that Ms. Palin was pregnant only a few weeks before. Struggling to accept that her child would be born with Down syndrome and fearful of public criticism of a governor’s pregnancy, Ms. Palin had concealed the news that she was expecting even from her parents and children until her third trimester. But as the governor introduced her son that day, according to a friend, Kristan Cole, she said she had come to regard him as a blessing from God. “Who of us in this room has the perfect child?” said Ms. Palin, who declined to be interviewed for this article.

Firstly, Mrs. Palin declined to be interviewed by the NY Times...I love her judgement! Secondly, when a woman is going thru a high risk pregnancy, [Downs Syndrom children have a great risk of miscariage], couples usually keep it quiet for obvious reasons until the baby is old enough to be delivered safely. Mrs Frogjerk and myself just went thru this not more than 3 weeks ago and we did not know for sure if our child was going to be Downs or not [1 in 14 chance]. The NY Times is also going to try and use Mrs. Palin's decision to have an amnio as a wedge to divide the pro-lifers.

I HATE THE NY TIMES!

Could you fix the headline?

This is NOT A HIT PIECE!

I never treasure anything that rag prints. They always have an agenda.

Then why did you read this article?

[frogjerk]

I wonder how truncated they are? I have two cousins that have Down’s and they’re both seemingly very healthy. One has even graduated college.

You don't understand, liberals cannot have "retards" at wine and cheese parties on the upper west side so they must be purged so that the couple can try again.

These are not my thoughts but this is what the left thinks of Downs Syndrome children. The American left is where the eugenics movement came from. This is where the Nazis got all their horrendous ideas from.

Actually the opposite is more likely. McCain has something on Obama. In three days, McCain has silenced the entire media and removed one of Obama’s biggest allies from his battle.

ABC - Stephanopolis embarasses Bambi w/ the faith correction.
ABC - Gets first interview with Palin
CBS - Gets next interview with Palin
NBC - Reassigns the knucklehead twins
NY Times - Writes a baby shower announcement
US Mag - Suffers a subcriber backlash
Oprah - flamed by her ‘loyal’ audience
National Enquirer - Adultery piece gets dumped in memory hole

All that’s left is CNN.

There is no way Obama can win the election without the press covering up his gaffes and cheerleading for him.

[Mr. Silverback]

The life expectancy is 49 these days. Once it was only 25.

[WatchYourself]

I guess this is the NYTs way of sorta-apologizing.

Here’s what I think. The lamestream media is beginning to see what a popular figure Palin is and negative pieces will have the reaction as seen with US Weekly. Positive pieces will have the opposite effect... well, maybe not, but that is what they are hoping.

[Mr. Silverback]

How are the missus and baby?

[Doe Eyes]

Oh, and guess what else the Slimes leaves out: it was an ENERGY conference.

From the article:

"In mid-April, Ms. Palin and her husband flew to Texas for an energy conference with fellow Republican governors."

[goldstategop]

To see what they were gonna say. That it was mostly positive doesn't matter. The family doesn't trust them and with good reason.
