Observation of the Day
Sarah Palin wonders: Gee, where was the same curiosity the MSM is displaying about Christine O’Donnell during 2008? Barack Obama has still not released records all other presidents have made public and the MSM has shown a decided indifference in asking any questions. Which would be curious–except that in 2010, everyone knows that’s how the MSM rolls.
“Funny . . . That we are learning more about Christine O’Donnell and her college years, her teenage years, her financial dealings than anybody ever even bothered to ask about Barack Hussein Obama as a candidate and now as our president.” –Sarah Palin
The same Mainstream Media that exhibited a decided indifference about Barack Obama’s medical, university, college and other records has been busy digging into Christine O’Donnell’s years-old views on masturbation.
Palin: Why No Probe of Barack ‘Hussein’ Obama?
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin alleges that the media has a blatant double standard, shining intense scrutiny on GOP Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell while turning a blind eye to then-candidate Barack Obama’s personal history in the 2008 campaign.
During an interview with Fox News host Greta Van Susteren Wednesday night, Palin said: “Funny . . . That we are learning more about Christine O’Donnell and her college years, her teenage years, her financial dealings than anybody ever even bothered to ask about Barack Hussein Obama as a candidate and now as our president.”
There were no questions asked during the disgraceful Mainstream Media coverage of the 2008 election because the Media was too busy digging through dumpsters in Wasilla, Alaska, for dirt on the Republican VP nominee.
Oh, and attacking any sources which did ask inconvenient questions about the MSM’s Messiah.
Palin alludes to a “double standard.” It’s not. It’s blatant content management and it no longer is very effective because it’s been so transparent for so long, Americans give the same respect to the New York Times‘ political opinions as they did the Weekly World News.
Thank heavens the Mainstream Media is dying.
May it be slow, protracted and painful.
Just like the damage they’ve inflicted on objective journalism during the last 50 years.
Not at all. Character counts and is open for question but I certainly would like to see more attention paid to the issues. However I also know better than to expect the media, any media, to actually do that.
How come ? you trust Obama's word for it, about his eligibility, but, you do not give O'Donnell the same benefit of the doubt.. ?
And where have I ever said I trust Obama's word on anything?
That's the very point that we ( as you would call us " Birthers " ) have been trying to make about Obama's records, but, somehow, there are some that don't want it to be a matter of " Public Record " ... even though ? the public has the right to know in the case of Obama's records...
And let me be the first to say that you Birthers are doing a bang-up job of it too.
If Occidental or Columbia or Harvard had sued Obama over unpaid tuition then that would be public record, too. Likewise, if Chase had had to foreclose on his house. If O'Donnell wants to release her school records or her birth certificate or other private information then I applaud her for it and wish Obama would do the same. But legally I can't see forcing even Obama to do so if he won't. And I don't support forcing O'Donnell to do so if she decides to keep her private information private.
I certainly wouldn't call the media innocent on anything, but I honestly don't remember any of the MSM promoting that ludicrous 'Bristol is really the mom' story. I remember hearing about the SNL skits with Tina Fey but don't recall them ever touching on that. I did a quick check on you tube and didn't see anything.
I think Conservative politicians should go in front of mics everywhere and start flushing some otf these things out:
"As I understand it, and our sad experience seems to bear it out, the President never passed his college economics course"
Force him to release his records
“If O’Donnell wants to release her school records or her birth certificate or other private information then I applaud her for it and wish Obama would do the same. But legally I can’t see forcing even Obama to do so if he won’t. And I don’t support forcing O’Donnell to do so if she decides to keep her private information private.”
I asked you before in the thread, how does Obama get passed the new Republican SOS’s as a presidential candidate? they have standing to request records from Hawaii DOH to confirm any abbreviated secondary documents from Obama.
Its a SOS’s legal duty to ensure candidate eligibility, if a candidate refuses to produce documents, the SOS can request a court order.
Ordinary people can’t break down Obama’s legal shields, but SOS’s can, whats your answer to that?
“Wait’ll Palin announces. She hasn’t seen anything yet.”
If they haven’t found anything on her by now, they aren’t going to. Besides all the digging will just bring attention to the “non-digging” on Obama. Let them get her college records etc. this will produce demands to see his too.
Strange and self-evident.
Beck is purposely avoiding using the silver bullet on the Kenyan bastard. And I can't figure out why.
Beck or Rush, for that matter, should just take 15 seconds of every show to list the documents that are still missing or sealed, "Day 500", that sort of thing.
It would drive Media Matters and the other commies completely bonkers.
No, I point out the trolls because of their trollish behavior.
Keep telling yourself that.
Besides all the digging will just bring attention to the “non-digging” on Obama. Let them get her college records etc. this will produce demands to see his too.
They're not that dumb. Palin's quitting will be dug into ad nauseum. Levi will be dumping dirt on the Palin's relationship. Todd's role in her Alaska administration will be made an issue. And that's just the start.
“They’re not that dumb. Palin’s quitting will be dug into ad nauseum. Levi will be dumping dirt on the Palin’s relationship. Todd’s role in her Alaska administration will be made an issue. And that’s just the start.”
And Sarah can turn round and say:
“Here is my long form Hospital Birth Certificate” when the Virginia SOS asks for it.
Whats Obama going to say?
“Ur...um...er...um.....”
Don’t forget that McCain admonished the lady that Obama was a good man and would make a good president. I couldn’t believe what I heard but it didn’t take long to collect my senses and realize the fix had been made.
It is not unusual for parties to sue for non-payment. Some of these suits can go on for years.Opinions about parties involved can be nasty but suing in the USA has become a time honored practice. Every suit has it’s own features. Been there on the ‘get’ side as a plain ordinary person.
So you’re suggesting she ignore the questions just like he has on ones about his birth certificate? You really think that’s going to work?
Now Rove is bashing O'Donnell, and the MSM is in a frenzy to make the most trivial points seem terrible. MSM did this to Palin and Quayle also.
On Monday Jay Leno was mocking her for an unusually long time and then later again. He seemed so obsessed with her that it is creepy
Well Sour-Kraut and Karl works for FOX, any further questions???
...In 1978, Krauthammer quit medical practice to direct planning in psychiatric research for the Jimmy Carter administration, and began contributing to The New Republic magazine. During the presidential campaign of 1980, Krauthammer served as a speech writer to Vice President Walter Mondale.
In January 1981, Krauthammer began his journalistic career, joining The New Republic as a writer and editor...

Are YOU a 1st. amendmenter???
Hiding behind Sarah's skirt!
Uh oh. Now you’ve done it. You’d better put the book back.
