The lamestream media and its *neo-socialist* masters never stop attacking Sarah Palin. Never. The attacks continue 24/7/365.

David Weigel and Tim Heffernen are beyond delusional. They very likely despise Sarah Palin - who represents the middle class lefties love to pretend to care so much about - but want us to believe that because she doesn't hold an elective office at the moment the national press corp is 'giving her a pass'. Yeah, right. What he really means is that the national media haven't even begun to go after Mrs. Palin.

Sarah Palin has been scrutinized, vilified and mocked all over the media for going on two years. Obviously, there are no latent scandals in her life or they would have been trumpeted far and wide, for months on end, by now. The leftmedia sees constantly calling Sarah Palin an 'idiot' (in so many words) has had some negative effect on her poll numbers but that she still won't go away, shut up or try to mollify the implacable leftmedia, who are determined to do to her what they've done to other conservative politicians in the past - destroy them. Usually by digging up fake 'scandals', like the Valarie Plame farce, based almost entirely on lies, and the 8-year assault against President Bush that pretty much made a majority of Americans believe he was the worst president in modern times, even though unemployment ranged from 4.5 to 5% during almost all of Bush's two terms and the GDP was better than anything the Obama administration has been able to show.

Unfortunately, a wrongheaded strategy of ignoring the leftist attacks and Bush's inarticulateness combined to help the left and their media lackeys convince Americans that Bush was a failure. They expect they'll be able to do the same thing to Sarah Palin, if she dares to run for president in 2012, something the left seems to palpably fear, and with good reason.

Sarah Palin has the rare quality of connecting with people and she is a true conservative woman, not a half-baked imitation like so many Republican politicians, such as Lindsey Graham, John McCain. Yes, I know she endorsed him.....her mistake. Unless she also endorses Charlie Crist and denounces Marco Rubio I'm not going to be like some and proclaim her 'unacceptable' as a GOP presidential candidate. Then come out in favor of some no-chance but allegedly 'pure' politician that puts a tingle up the leg of those supposedly on the right who sneer at Palin and buy into the 'unqualified' meme the leftmedia are trying so hard to render 'common knowledge' by virtue of constant repetition.

I see the column by Mr. Weigel as a 'warning' to Palin (and her supporters) that should she decide to run for president in 2012, they'll be waiting to destroy her any way they can and I'm certain that would include sneaky attacks on her family, disguised as 'tips' from 'anonymous sources' about her husband, children and even her in-laws.

The left and their media water-carriers realize that Palin is a serious threat to their socialist agenda and the continued reign of Messiah Obama so they'll stop at nothing to take her out of the running. This snide column pretending that Sarah Palin has somehow received a 'free pass' from the media (95% of it Obama stenographers) simply sends a warning to Palin that she 'ain't seen nothin' yet' in the way of media savagery marshaled against her.

Fortunately, Palin is a fighter and best of all, she has truth on her side. She'll fight them - and win.

Yep! And that will be a sight to see... :-) ...

That is why I like her, she hits back and does not play by the “new playground rules” set up by liberals that say you can never hit back to defend yourself. Plus she goes on the offensive and keeps them off balance.

Where are all the Palin bashers today?
