Carl Cameron on Palin-McCain tension
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/11/05/palin-africa-continent/

Posted on 11/05/2008 7:45:41 PM PST by publius_in_abq

Did anyone else see this segment on O'Reilly tonight? This is really bad - if it's true, McCain made a big mistake picking Palin. I know she revved up the sleeping base (folks like me), but not knowing who is in NAFTA and not understanding Afria is a continent is absurd. I am actually having a hard time believing this...but Carl Cameron is pretty trustworthy.

What is the problem, we just had a president elected to preside over our 57 states. NAFTA, I couldn’t answer that either. If anything on Africa, she probably had a brain fart. To me, it stinks of lets eliminate the threat of her running against Romney for the nomination. If I were her, I’d run for the Senate in her state and really see what I was up against in DC.

They have succeed since you obviously are considering its true. For shame that you can’t see through the MSM by now.

You believe Carl is trustworthy, why?

"Heck, Obama thinks there are 57 states"

AND Obambi didn't even know that Kentucky shares a border with his own state of Illinois -- I mean c'mon, if you don't even know what your own neighboring states are you are flippin' IGNORANT.

Naturally, the Mediascum let Obambi and Biden slide on all of their ignorance, dishonesty, and gaffes.

Unnamed sources...hope you get a chance to catch Greta on this subject. It was a complete fabrication.

Yes, but Czechoslovakia broke up in 1992 into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

She has a degree in journalism and is a Governor of a state.

One of the stranger things going on is that Sarah speaks of things from the perspective of someone living in Alaska.

Of course she knows the member nations of NAFTA, and as relevant as that might be she also knows where Russia is ~ which most of the "newsies" snorking and drooling over that idea really didn't know. "Russia" is just a place a long airplane ride from New York for them.

Regarding the "Africa issue", it might be a good idea to find out the context ~ particularly if the person using the term doesn't speak clearly, or actually screws up its use. One might say all sorts of things in response to find out what the guy meant.

Frankly, too many of the McCainiacs weren't smart enough to be providing campaign guidance or coaching, particularly if they suggested a "burrough" is some small place in New York City ~ you know, like Brooklyn.

Alaska has several burroughs larger than many states. No doubt an discussion along those lines, e.g. how is state government structured, could go right off the planet if the non-Alaskan had no idea that they "do it differently in Alaska".

Next time the Republicans have got to tap knowledgeable resources.

And stop trying to lay blame. If the press had reported on Obama as they did Palin, McCain would have won. Blame the press for pushing Obama. They’re STILL doing it.

Maybe they’re sowing seeds (of revenge) for her run for Governor in 2010?

Either that, or the Mittbots are trying to get her out of the way for 2012. Some of Mitt's people went to work for the McCain campaign.

Is it any more absurd than Joe Biden not knowing that FDR didn’t get on the television in 1929 because he wasn’t president and nobody had a television?

This is just flat silly stuff. This election is over Palin is Governor of Alaska...these folks just need to give it a rest. I loved Sarah Palin. The RINO wouldn’t have gotten as many votes as he got without her. She was great for his campaign...

Absolutely!

I think they’re more afraid of a 2012 campaign (after TheOne fails to deliver) than of her running for governor or the Senate (Stevens’ seat will eventually opn, but I’m glad he hung onto it.)

What they have done to this woman is unforgivable. Just cheap, cheap shots. She is loved in Alaska, and I wouldn’t blame her if she returned and never wanted to see the lower 48 again.

Cameron was acting like a jilted lover. I have never seen him so agitated...

You still have to know the term if you want to discuss 1939 and the way the Allies betrayed Czechoslovakia.

I even know the term "Bohemia" and recognize that this refers to the "kingdom/clan" of the "red land". The Boii were relocated from Bohemia to somewhere in France by Julius Caesar.

I dare say there's not a campaign aide in either camp who knows anything like that, but they talk fast and their hearing is better than mine, plus they can live on hotdog buns and Coca Cola.

Definitely a superior breed.

You’re right, it is absurd.

Carl Cameron is only as good as his sources. People may have told him those things, but it doesn’t necessarily reflect reality.

McCain was talking about putting a missile defense system in “Czechoslovakia.”
