Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement both have far less support in the country at large than a gullible Old Media seems to understand or suggest, Time magazine senior political analyst Mark Halperin asserted on The Page while colleague Joe Klein, on Times Swampland blog, showed fear of the supposedly impotent coalition as he denigrated her Saturday night convention speech as anti-intellectual drivel, scolding as anti-American those dumb enough to like her:
Those who celebrate Sarah Palin's lack of knowledge as a form of authenticity superior to Barack Obama's gloriously American mongrel ethnicity and self-made intellectuality are representatives of a long-standing American theme the celebration of sameness, and mediocrity, in a country that has succeeded brilliantly because of its diversity and restlessly eccentric genius. Happily, it has almost always been a losing theme. And, indeed, in the truest sense, it can be called anti-American.
Halperin, political director for ABC News until 2007, appeared on the Sunday edition of ABCs World News where he insisted Palin and tea partiers are still not big enough or specific enough to do anything but criticize Obama, criticize the government and while that creates excitement, it's not a national governing movement.

Time is not a Big Magazine and Time is Un-American. So?
With Sarahcuda nose art.
These libtards truly are fools living in a complete total state of denial. They think all they need do is say something disparaging on the pages of their rags and all of a sudden, we're all supposed to be discredited? What complete fools they prove themselves to be!
Well, I say...keep it up! Just keep it up, you fools! Our righteous cause is gaining victories more and more each and every day; and the lefist libtards can't stand it! They know nothing other than to expose their deviant, disgusting gutter underbelly! Keep it up! Just keep it up!
Holy Smokes! So TIME magazine is still being printed? Who in the world buys that rag?
‘I think the only way these commie bastards are going to shut up is when we finally shoot them dead.’’ Bravo! Bingo! Nailed it! Yup, you got it.
Whoa! That looks like one rough run-in to the target. God Bless those WW2 guys.
BOR is not our friend.
Amazingly clueless man!
Mark Halperins idea of what is right may be what is Left. He was born in 1965 in Bethesda, Maryland, the red-diaper baby of hard-Left-connected controversial foreign policy specialist Morton Halperin. This fact reveals an entire Left-spin universe in which Mark grew up exposed to his fathers comrades and radical ideas.
Morton Halperin today is Senior Vice President of the left-wing Center for American Progress (CAP) and Director of the Open Society Policy Center established by eccentric billionaire international financier George Soros.
In 1975, when Mark Halperin was 10, his father became director of the Center for National Security Studies (CNSS), bankrolled by the Field Foundation and the Fund for Peace (FFP). Much of CNSSs staff came from the ultra-leftist Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) and from the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), identified in past congressional investigations as a Communist front group. One ubiquitous figure on the Left who helped run CNSS with Halperin was IPS director Robert Borosage. Halperin remained CNSS Director until 1992, when the election of President Bill Clinton brought him back into government.
In February 1993, President Bill Clintons administration announced the appointment of Morton Halperin to the new position of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Democracy and Peacekeeping. Halperin withdrew his name from consideration in January 1994, his nomination stalled by both Republican and Democrat U.S. Senators who refused to consent to so radical a nominee.
Halperin was for many reasons too controversial to win Senate confirmation. He had advocated unilateral nuclear disarmament of the United States, publication of most U.S. military secrets, and an end of all clandestine activities by the U.S. against the Soviet Union and its colony in Communist Cuba.
Concerning the Soviet-Cuban military intervention in Angola, Halperin in the June 9, 1979, issue of The Nation magazine had written, Every action which the Soviet Union and Cuba have taken in Africa has been consistent with the principles of international law.
Morton Halperin during the mid-1970s befriended Philip Agee, a former-CIA-agent-turned-Communist who publicly identified hundreds of purported American Central Intelligence Agency agents. At least one of these agents, Athens station chief Richard Welch, was murdered shortly thereafter. Halperin flew to Europe to help Agee find safe haven after Great Britain expelled him. In the U.S., Halperin opposed legislation to punish the outing of U.S. undercover agents as Agee had done. Halperin has described the CIA as the subverter of everybody elses freedom.
Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement both have much more support in the country at large than an angry Main Stream Media seems to understand or suggest, not-Time magazine senior political analyst not-Mark Halperin asserted on The Page while colleague not-Joe Klein, on Times Swampland blog, showed awe of the supposedly potent coalition as he analyzed her Saturday night convention speech as foundational common sense scolding as anti-American those who reflexively hate her.
Those who celebrate Sarah Palin's knowledge as a form of authentic common sense and her gloriously American mongrel ethnicity and self-made intellectual superiority to Barack Obama's worship of failed philosophical systems, are representatives of a long-standing American theme the celebration of individuality, thus diversity, and eccentric genius instead of sameness and mediocrity of the failed twentieth century institutions favored by Obama which in its truest sense can be called anti-American.
not-Halperin, former political director for ABC News, appeared on the Sunday edition of ABCs World News where he insisted Palin and tea partiers are big enough and solid enough on specific issues to slowly, but surely bring a halt to Obamas programs that while they create excitement for those on the left, they are of little use except for taking control of the lives of American citizens.
there ... fixed.
