(Video) CNN's Don Lemon appeared impressed that Sarah Palin knew who he was and stopped to answer all of his questions directly with a horde of media surrounding her. He then told CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer that meanwhile a disturbing scene happened at a Michele Bachmann event, where when he tried to ask her a question through the crowd, Bachmann aides pushed him and he also suggesting that Bachmann's husband, Marcus Bachmann elbowed him into one of the nearby golf cart, describing it as a embarrassment to her campaign.

Lemon is disgusting. But,, this is a journalist who was well treated by Sarah when he asked actual questions. Little moments like this are going to eventually pay off big for her. Shes not some can artist who will avoid them like Obama, Mitt, etc.

Uh, huh. How long before an MSM (Liberal) reporter shows up on camera with a black eye or bandages and claims a GOP operative worked them over?

“Don Lemon appeared impressed that Sarah Palin knew who he was and stopped to answer all of his questions directly with a horde of media surrounding her.”

There’s a lot more to be impressed about in the coming months, Mr. Lemon. As the great Ronald Reagan used to say, “you ain’t seen nothing yet”. Stay tuned.

Al Jolson said it first.

Just realized something about Palin. What is scaring the piss out of the libs is not Sarah. It is what happens when Todd starts talking about his experiences as a union guy?

Moochelle was off limits. Going after Todd probably will not be a good idea by the MSM.

Can you expand a little bit about Todd? I was not aware of this.

Don Lemon is a racist crybaby. I’d like to push him myself, preferably off a cliff.

I had to laugh when Lemon said “there are some who say that Obama was vetted by the press better than Sarah.” Sarah responded by calling that statement the pantload that it was. Lemon was using the same straw man rhetoric that Obama always gets away with. Is Lemon copying “the one” or did he learn this technique in journalism school? Nice try Lemon. You have got to love Sarah for calling these clowns on their BS.

CNN obviously wants to hurt that woman who is actually running for President now, and gain credibility with the audience by being nice to the woman who isn’t running yet.

I can’t believe anybody thinks that the day Palin announces, this same reporter will be tearing down Palin the way he is attacking Bachmann today.

Hopefully, Palin supporters are smart enough not to fall for the bait. Palin certainly is.

Palin has a rare gift. In one one one interactions with people, they genuinely like her. I saw the same thing with Reagan. The press was against him, even combative at times. But he won them over with his charm and wit.

Jesse Unruh first experience it in 1970 and he warned Walter Mondale about it. Mondale admitted that, in spite of the fact that he disagreed with Reagan about everything, “I still liked the guy.”

Palin has the same gift. I have seen in it in her interviews with Chris Wallace, Barbara Walters and many others who are libs but really like her on a personal level.
Likability is the great intangible. Palin has it in spades. Reagan had it. Jack Kennedy had it. Palin decries the “lamestream media” but she is cordial and polite to individual reporters.

This is the second dustup between Bachmann and an MSM reporter generated because she refuses to make herself available for questions. Walling her off from reporters is a mistake. Shoving them compounds the mistake. Reagan never ran from the press. Neither does Plain. Winners don’t fear the media. They use it.
