Yesterday, when I saw allegations floating around the Alaska nutroots blogosphere that Wayne Anthony Ross, Palin's designee as Alaska Attorney General, had made comments in favor of rape and domestic violence, I just laughed and dismissed it as not worth answering. However, Shannyn Moore plastered the allegations up on the Huffington Post, and Sean Cockerham, whose employer at the Anchorage Daily News is always anxious to investigate wacky Palin conspiracy theories, posted on the "story" at the ADN in-house blog. So we should probably do some vetting of Leah Burton.

The meme appears to be they hate her because she is beautiful. I will buy that.

The Palin family continues to grab headlines, and once again it has nothing to do with politics. This time it surrounds Sarah Palin's sister-in-law, Diana Palin, who was arrested on Thursday for allegedly burglarizing a house. Not once, but twice in a matter of days. And she reportedly brought her 4-year-old daughter along for the heists, according to the Anchorage Daily News. (snip)

The attempt by the Obama administration to make Rush Limbaugh an enemy of the people, in the style of 1984's Emmanuel Goldstein has failed. So, casting around for a new devil to excite their base with, the Obama people have hit on Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin, the current governor of Alaska and former candidate for Vice President, created considerable excitement for the McCain campaign. She was electric on the stump, bringing huge audiences to her feet with stem winder speeches. She was solidly conservative, butSarah Palin: Obama's New Enemy of the People with a reformist slant. And, very important, she...

An offended Chris Matthews, on Thursday night's "Hardball," was so shocked by Sarah Palin's claim that there wasn't anybody to pray with on the McCain campaign, that he hurled multiple insults Palin's way, calling her, "a little scary," and asked if Palin thought McCain was, "the Anti-Christ?" Matthews was appalled by Palin's recent revelation that she had trouble finding someone to pray with before her vice presidential debate and the MSNBC host worried such talk about "The Deity in a political environment," wasn't "normal."

Linda Kellen Biegel, aka "Celtic Diva", the official DNC blogger who filed the recent silly ethics complaint against Governor Palin, has a new post up stating that she's avoiding a Fox News crew that wants to interview her about the substance of her complaint.

Barack Obama promised to elevate the level of political discourse. Some of his apparent admirers didn't get the memo. Take, for example, this user comment on the Washington Post's 44: The Obama Presidency blog today: Considering how many people donated small amounts to his campaign, I imagine it would be difficult to find people who couldn't be considered "backers" in some way. I mean one of these guys donated a whopping $250. Yay Matt Drudge! Yay Rush Limbaugh! Way to be more retarded than Palin's down syndrome baby. The poster was responding to the blog item "Obama Town Hall Questioners...

As if Sarah Palin hasn’t been torn apart enough by the media, try this one on for size: Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is the equivalent of Britney Spears. That’s right. Pop culture writer Jed Gottlieb compared the former GOP Vice Presidential candidate to pop icon Britney Spears saying both women are manufactured stars with “baby drama” and a “podunk back story.” Gottlieb’s article “Boston sees just a piece of Britney Spears” appeared in the Boston Herald on March 17, just one day after Spears’ sold out concert at the TD Banknorth Garden Entertainment Arena in Boston. While the article...

Brian72 has provided us with an excerpt of an interview featured in the March edition of the Limbaugh Letter. Rush interviewed Bernard Golberg about his latest book, "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media." RUSH: I know there is a contempt; Joe the Plumber was one of the most illustrative examples. Here you've got this poor guy who's minding his own business, an Obama rally ends up next to him. So he asks a question. And it was not a question that was pre-approved. It was not...

Charlie Gibson’s interview with Gov. Sarah Palin should be put in a time capsule and saved for future generations to understand why Democrats – in veering far-left during the first eight years of the 21st century – became the extinct dinosaurs of American politics by once again losing their bid for the presidency. There was ABC-TV’s Gibson, looking clinically depressed and speaking in that faux-soft voice people use when trying to suppress their rage, questioning the vice-presidential candidate in all of her youthful, can-do American optimism. What a picture! Gibson embodied the media elites and other leftover leftists from the...

WASHINGTON, March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Please find, below, the statement of Democratic National Committee communications director Brad Woodhouse on Governor Sarah Palin's decision to reject over $500 million in federal funds due the state of Alaska under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: "After soliciting and accepting more federal dollars per capita than any other governor in the union, Sarah Palin's decision today to deny the state of Alaska over half a billion dollars in recovery and reinvestment funds - including millions for schools, energy and public safety - appears to be nothing more than political posturing. At a time...

Last night, Bill O'Reilly quoted some of te etypically hateful comments by the liberals rejoicing in the unfortunate situation of Bristol Palin. I am trying to find those links (so I can post tehm where I know libs post.) I am having trouble finding the links. Can anyone help? Specifically, I'm looking for the hatred on the liberal sites DailyKos (AKA Daily Kook), Huffington Post (Huff and Puff), and DUh. I want to show these folks how truly hateful their side is. Can anyone help me fiond these quotes?

Hate to say it in this instance, but . . . . I told you so. When I wrote a column about how Bristol Palin remains a single mother--a baby mama--and had no legitimate reason to prolong getting married, several worshippers at the alter of St. Sarahmessiah told me I was wrong, that these two kiddie-parents (the Palin daughter and boytoy Levi Johnston) would be married this summer. But, you see, I never believed they'd be married. In fact, I thought their engagement was a fiction put on by the Palin family to help win the Presidential election. And, unfortunately,...

It is news at the intersection of politics, sociology and gossip: Gov. Sarah Palin's teenage daughter Bristol and her boyfriend, Levi Johnston, have called off their engagement, about 10 weeks after the birth of their child. But it also speaks to the larger question of where the private becomes the public and whether, once the line is crossed, it is possible to go back. When news broke at the Republican convention last year that Bristol Palin, then 17 and the unmarried daughter of the vice-presidential nominee, was five months pregnant, political handlers moved quickly to limit the damage. Senator John...

Bristol Bashing Reflects The Left’s Ongoing Fear of Her Mother By Joan Swirsky Sunday, March 15, 2009 The Left’s tolerance knows no bounds. Practiced in the art of understanding and forgiving human foibles, and averse to the “judgment” they find so intolerable in those who think there are actually values such as right and wrong, good and bad, virtue and evil, liberals demonstrate every day how morally evolved they are. No matter how egregious or even illegal the behavior, they say it’s either a “private matter” or “irrelevant.” For instance: President Bill Clinton’s serial philandering, years-long Oval-office affair with a...

Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter angrily denounced reports today that she was to blame for breaking up with the father of her two-month-old son. Bristol Palin, the daughter of last year’s controversial Republican vice-presidential candidate, responded after it emerged that she and her fiancé, Levi Johnston, had split up. The story first emerged in the tabloid Star magazine, which quoted Mr Johnston’s sister Mercedes saying that Ms Palin and her mother were to blame for the break-up. The couple had been due to marry this summer. “Levi tries to see Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible,” Mercedes...

Editor: Once again you have allowed Ann Coulter's noxious, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, neurotic screed to insult entire groups of people, in this case, the intellectually challenged, or the "retarded," which is her preferred usage, and teachers, whom she attacks with an irrational ferocity. She demeans public schools, public school teachers and, apparently, all education that is publicly funded. Why? In last Monday's column, Coulter dismisses Nancy Pelosi as "the first elected mentally retarded" Speaker of the House. I can't fault Coulter's abusive, misinformed, morally bankrupt and irrelevant whining. She makes a fortune off of an ever-shrinking bunch of illiterate, unthinking...

New poll shows Palin no longer Alaska's most popular politician Posted on 03 January 2009 By Dan Fagan Ask conservative Republicans across the country what they think of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and the vast majority of them will begin to gush in cult-like fashion about how wonderful she is. Palin has energized the conservative base unlike anyone since Ronald Reagan. But how is she doing in the state in which she governs? Some speculate Palin has every intention of running for president four years from now after tasting the national spotlight. She has yet to rule out a...

Two political figures dominated the final months of the 2008 presidential campaign. One was the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama. The other had been unknown to all but 670,000 Americans only a few minutes before she was first introduced by the Republican nominee, John McCain, at a rally in Ohio on the Friday before the Republican National Convention, only 66 days before the November election. By the close of that first weekend, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska had become a national sensation. Two days after that, she delivered her debut address at the Republican National Convention as the party’s vice-presidential nominee—a...

We at SarahPalinforPOTUS.blogspot.com were recently graced by the typically obsessive and fearful smatter of a liberal, one who was eager to strain various lies about Palin through the tainted cheesecloth of his/her emoticon-propelled worldview. Here's the comment: Let's see: Outback beauty queen becomes mayor of one-horse town, then betrays her own friends and mentors to win the Governorship of a state with a smaller population than Allegheny County, PA...which she promptly turns into a socialist fiefdom living on oil company handouts.Plus, she's a babbling idiot and a Christian bigot. She's not a "life example" -- she's a born punchline. In...
