Dear Fellow American:
The mainstream (liberal) media’s smear campaign against Governor Sarah Palin has been one of the ugliest chapters in the history of modern witch hunts.
Well, it has just become uglier—just when you probably thought that was impossible.
It turns out that the “moderator” of the Thursday, October 2 vice presidential debate—PBS anchor Gwen Ifill—has a clear conflict of interest.
Ms. Ifill is the author of a forthcoming book celebrating the politics and career of Senator Barack Obama. Her book is titled The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, and is scheduled to be published on Inauguration Day—January 20, 2009. She obviously has both an ideological and a financial interest in the success of the Obama-Biden campaign, one of the parties to this debate. If that isn’t a clear conflict of interest, I don’t know what would be.
This serious conflict of interest was not disclosed beforehand to Senator John McCain or to his vice presidential running mate, Governor Sarah Palin. In the words of attorney and TV host Greta Van Susteren, they “should have been told before the campaign agreed to have her moderate. It simply is not fair—in law, this would create a mistrial.”
The American people deserve an honest and transparent moderation of this debate. Please join me in demanding that the Commission on Presidential Debates fire her and replace her with an impartial host

Thanks. Hope it helps. Probably too late, but this story has been white hot today. Ifill just admitted that she didn’t tell the debate committee about her book.

I disagree with this COMPLETELY..
I think it would be better for us if we leave her up there.. Everyone knows where she stands now.. If she’s still dumb enough to try to play gotchya’s with Palin, there will be a backlash.
If we sub her out, we just get another lib anyway and this one can hide behind objectivity.. Leave Gwen Ifill in there.

Thanks — just did it. And as the screen was coming up a I decided to check my e-mail. I got an e-mail from a friend with the same website asking me to vote. I will be spreading the word, and hopefully we all will!
