...and I think they are going to be sorry. We have smelled the fear in them for a long time. Good on her!GO SARAH GO!
I hope she spends the next 3+ years ripping Obama’s every move.
Turn the tables on the Dems.
Greg Garret is a lib... he was disgusting, but even those that followed him were doing their best to turn this against Palin.
Today, fox sucked.
You said — MSDNC is reporting she is leaving politics for good.
—
Were they quoting her, or were they guessing?
Wait a minute..., I wasn’t talking about Michael Jackson... I was talking about Sarah Palin... LOL...
The people on FR who are denigrating her for resigning, should walk in her shoes for a day, and see what she and her family have had to put up with this past year or more. One TV pundit said she sounded defensive. I didn't particularly see her that way, but even if she was, didn't she have a right to be defensive? I could never have been as gracious as she has been through all of this. I'm a female, but I'm not a lady, and I probably would have been arrested for decking the jerks who make snide comments about my family. A Fox reporter said that since the election, she has been very hard to get an interview with. Good!! She doesn't owe you a-holes a thing, especially not the way you treated her or her family in the press. You want an interview d*ckhead? Earn her respect to get that interview!!
Sarah, I wish you and your family a happy and successful life. If that includes your running for any other public office, I will support you fully. You are a lovely women, with an awesome family. God Bless you all, and thank you for being a true and patriotic American.
True that I am a Palin supporter, but Fox seemed to be closer to what I would expect from NBC.

Fox News management has questionable motives. All you have to do is listen to Bill ORielly to hear him echo it. It is one of the reasons I will not listen to ORielly anymore because of his Obama pandering.
Funny on Fox last weekend, ALL WE HEARD ABOUT WAS JACKO 24/7 no one over there cared one twit about Cap & Trade!
I agree. I don't usually watch Fox News anymore. It comes on automatically when I turn my cable box on. I caught Greta's voice just prior to the TV picture coming on, then noticed she was talking about Sarah. Stuart Varney disappointed me with his pushing the idea that she resigned under pressure. I was surprised to hear Bill Kristol being positive. He usually hates everybody.
Just watchin FOX go on and on with phone call after phone call about the political death of Sarah Palin....geez enough already FOX!!!

Exactly — you are on top of it.....
The problem with Fox is that they put being ‘fair and balanced’ over the truth sometimes.
You call Stuart Varney's continually trying to get the people he was interviewing to say that she resigned because of the pressure she's been under as being objective?
Lanny Davis has never spoken a single word that wasn't a hyper-partisan negative attack. He can be very happily ignored.
Yeah, these people “just don’t get it”.... :-)
Lanny Davis???

Dunno when the Conservatives are going to learn that the country and the party would be better served if they would quit canabalizing themselves.
"Fair and Balanced" is a good marketing slogan but a bad journalistic ethic.
Being objective is the journalistic ethic that has worked over time and has been intentionally abandoned by the mainstream concubine media.
Objective means telling the observable truth. Fair and Balanced often means creating false equivalencies to appear "fair" which most often works to the liberal advantage as their arguments are weaker.
Fox TABLOID News?
“You call Stuart Varney’s continually trying to get the people he was interviewing to say that she resigned because of the pressure she’s been under as being objective?”
Yes, because she baically said as much herself, referencing all the lawsuits lodged against her, and the insults and jokes about her and her family. To deny this is to deny the obvious, and Varney was perfectly correct to discuss it as a distinct possibility. Charles Krauthammer just said as much. Sarah Palin said as much. Live with it, unless in your idol worship you can brook no objective commentary. Then you are as bad as the Obama worshippers.
P.S. On Stuart Varney’s program, Sarah Palin’s brother said the following (which was why Varney was talking about the resignation being because of pressures):
“Brother says pressure of baseless ethics complaints and relentless defense of her persona takes 80% of her time. Not fair to family.”
I totally disagree with you, FR-baby!!!
