The Empire Strikes Out: NY Daily News Tries to Even the Score With Palin; Fails
Texas for Sarah Palin ^ | June 6, 2010 at 12:45 PM Central | Josh Painter

Posted on 06/06/2010 11:10:41 AM PDT by Josh Painter

The lamestream media doesn't like it when Sarah Palin calls them out for their distortions, innuendo and what the governor calls "making things up" -- which is her rather polite way of saying that the media are liars. The latest example is Helen Thomas' recent comment regarding Israel, for which Gov. Palin scolded the reporter on Twitter, and Thomas promptly apologized.

But Sarah Palin let Thomas' colleagues have it with both barrels with another tweet for their failure to criticize the reporter for her remark:

Helen Thomas press pals condone racist rant?Heaven forbid"esteemed"press corps represent society's enlightened elite;Rest of us choose truth
That was simply too much for the left wing NY Daily news to abide, so it churned out this gratuitous hit piece:
WASHINGTON - A top adviser to GOP star Sarah Palin was once dispatched by ex-President Richard Nixon to sweep Jews out of government service, newly released tapes show.

Nixon aide Fred Malek's role as what Democrats call a "Jew counter" for the disgraced President was already well known, and he has spent decades apologizing for activities that later cost him a Republican National Committee job in the 1980s. But he remains a prominent GOP powerbroker.

This is so lame on so many levels.

First of all, Sarah Palin was five years old when the Nixon presidency began, and she was ten when it ended, so the attempt by the Daily News to paint Gov. Palin as an anti-Semite through her rather casual association with Fred Malek is laughable. But notice how the News ran a photo of Sarah Palin right next to one of Nixon with the story in its lame attempt to link the two. The photo of Malek is smaller and located below the other two. Subtle as a sledgehammer, and a swing and a miss for strike one.

Also, Malek has never been a paid staffer for Sarah Palin. He has offered her some free advice on how to get along with the Washington establishment, and he has introduced her to some of the beltway's major players, but that's about the extent of it. He has never endorsed her for any political office, and though he likes her, at the top of Malek's list of his preferred presidential candidates is Mitt Romney. Malek is also partial to other moderates such as George Pataki, Mark Kirk, Mike Castle and Jon Huntsman. Strike two.

Finally, this NY Daily News straw man isn't even new. It's simply a regurgitation of an older smear job notorious Palin-hater Geoffrey Dunn cooked up at nutroots leftist website Huffington Post a year and a half ago. So again we have the major media getting its material from the wackosphere. It was FAIL then and EPIC FAIL now. Strike three. They're out... of their minds if they think that they can brand Sarah Palin, one the the most vocal supporters of Israel today, as an anti-Semite.

It's not for nothing that Gov. Palin calls them the lamestream media.

Sarah's tweets are really tweaking them to the point where she lives rent-free in their heads.

Add their names to the list of traitors. If a violent revolution happens in the future and the revolutionaries win. Atleast the new regime’s firing squads will know where to start.

I know a couple of these leftists working over at NY Daily and I tell you mainstream or lamestream would hardly describe them. These folks are downright deranged Marxist wackos sustaining themselves on peanut butter and tofu.

So, someone please name one other, just one, possible POTUS contender for 2012 that is either out front-and-center on every issue of the day and getting the daily attacks that Governor Palin is getting.

Just one.

1. Myth Romney?
2. The Huckster?
3. Tim Pawlenty?
4. Jindal?
5. Duncan Hunter?
6. Jim Demint?


None of them are leading like Sarah is.

And I say that knowing I could quite easily settle for both Jim Demint and Duncan Hunter.

The rest are either pretenders or lackluster in they're general appeal.

This may have less to do with Palin’s tweet, than the Dims fears of losing a large segment of the Jewish vote.

I really don't think these left wing journalist who are just terrible reporters, think people care enough about how they cover people. It's one thing to criticize political figures, it's a totally different thing to be biased, lie, obfuscate, deceive, and hatefully obsess over them.

These so-called journalist in the deceptive media day is coming and they are all going to be so sorry they never learned to report unbiased, and fairly.

The media's hatred of Governor Sarah Palin is palpable because she isn't intimidated by them and doesn't hesitate to call them out, as with their attempt to ignore the disgraceful anti-Semitic remarks of the ancient bigot Helen Thomas.

The 'lamestream' media, long accustomed to using distortions and flat-out lies to silence conservatives they don't like (all of them) are frustrated by Palin's obvious honesty and lack of fear. They don't know what to do so they try mocking and ridicule and when that doesn't have the desired effect (of shutting her up), they resort to the kind of ridiculous, unsustainable 'guilt-by-association' tactics outlined in the above article. That doesn't work, either.

Times have changed and the big city dailies and 3 broadcast networks no longer have a solid grip on what the public knows. Governor Palin uses the internet (Facebook and Twitter) to great advantage in order to get the truth out and nullify the effect of the 'lamestream' media's lies and distortions. Kudos to her!

nice post.

So true Palin now has as many FB followers as many major publications and news org. More people see Palin’s FB posts than saw Obama on Larry King live.

that is power and the LSM and GOP elites and DNC hacks better wake up and start treating this woman with the respect she deserves.

Libtards do not care if the narrative is actually TRUE- they will latch on to this as proof of her (non-existent) bias.

It does keep her name in the news...but what Sarah is doing is so incredibly important I don't care one wit if it keeps her front and center or not.

Your post indicates that she is the only genuine LEADER on the Republican side of things getting out there and PROTESTING the HORRIFIC job our current press corp is doing in slamming down those who, on the left side of things, say HORRIFIC and RACIST things like Helen Thomas did.

THANK GOD FOR SARAH!

When EVERY SINGLE CULTURE WARRIOR on the republican side , every politician able to grab a microphone or put our a statement, could stand up and be counted like Sarah does, they REMAIN QUIET.

Cowardly.

COWED by this STUPID BUNCH OF UNDEREDUCATED WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORP who are SO AFRAID of GOING AFTER UHBAMA and his minions that they are LITERALLY HELPING to destroy our nation's spirit.

Where are MY REPRESENTATIVES?

Where are YOU Dan Burton?( Sipping your Starbucks? }

Where are you SENATOR LUGAR (getting your hair coiffed? Jogging around the Lincoln Memorial?)

And where are you Senator Bayh? { Oh, that's right, you are packing your bags and leaving town, no time to stand up for what is right!}

My guess is:

Jindal doesn't have time to think about presidential politics right now.

Mitt has nothing better to do.

“sustaining themselves on peanut butter and tofu.”

.
Not for long!

The phytoestrogen found in unfermented soy protein in tofu is a huge contributor to breast and prostate cancers.

“Jindal doesn’t have time to think about presidential politics right now.”

.
Jindal’s heart is in the right place, but he is a rather light weight thinker.

Mitt is socialist-lite.
