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.

Remember during the 2008 campaign that his middle name was not to be mentioned at all , not spoken of by the media, nor even by John McCain's people....

[American Constitutionalist]

I take it that you don’t support Christine O’Donnell ?

[imfleck]

You sure do love the word “troll.”

[American Constitutionalist]

For someone to deny that Sarah Palin is not a birther, then, they are not looking at what Sarah is saying.
Sarah is very very wise in her words and when to question.
She used the attacks in Christine O'Donnell and high light the double standard of the MSM to question why the MSM does not question Obama about his lack of transparency.

[numberonepal]

Just imagine if Christine O’Donnell had said that were 57 states, told a disabled man to “stand up”, or admitted to doing cocaine.

Sarah should give a speech and insert many Zero gaffes into it and let's just see what the media says about it.

[American Constitutionalist]

"I’m not surprised at the lack of vetting by the MSM but what bothers me more are the so called conservative pundits. Beck, Limbaugh, Levin and others have run, with fear in their eyes, from even asking probing questions."

Looks like Sarah has basically called them and the regular main stream media to task and to step up to the plate.
How is Beck ? Hannity ? Rush ? Levin going to spin this ? or are they going to avoid it all together since Sarah has brought this to front and center now ?

Glenn Beck ? and we know you lurk here on FR, Glenn ? are you going to call Sarah a " Crazy Birther " since she has high lighted the double standard of the MSM going after Christine O'Donnell, but, has not questioned Obama about his past and his lack of being transparent of releasing his documents... ? what about it Glenn ? what do you have to say of what Sarah said ?
Come on Rush, Levin ? what do you have to say about what Sarah Palin is saying here ? or are you going to totally avoid it ?
Now is the time to shine.

" Late making a payment? Is that what you call it when universities and mortgage companies have to sue in order to get their money? "

There are millions of average Americans suffering from that now and many by no choice of their own, like losing a job where they have worked for 30 years, and the unemployment just does not pay the bills...
Have you ever been without a job ?
Have you ever been at a point in life no matter how hard you try to make ends meet, it's just not enough ?
There are millions of people in this country right now suffering.

And if any of them run for office I would expect them to face the same kind of questions.

[American Constitutionalist]

You mean facts ? like ? there are millions of average Americans out of work now suffering who can't make ends meet, who now can't pay the bills or mortgage kind of facts ?
Yeah, that's the ticket, kick the little guy farther to the curb if he can't make the mortgage payment....

[American Constitutionalist]

In case you didn't read Sarah's words closer, Sarah was not just talking about the MSM going after O'Donnell, but, the MSM went after Sarah too unjustly.
Was the MSM justified saying that Trig was Sarah's daughter's baby and the MSM demanded that she show a birth certificate ? .. no, wait, in YOUR mind, that's a matter of " public record " .....
If anyone has the right to question Obama about his eligibility, it is Sarah Palin...

[American Constitutionalist]

If your so concerned about someone speaking English correctly, or spelling correctly, why don't you spend your energy is making the English language the official language of the Untied States then ?

[American Constitutionalist]

" Curious, isn’t it? "

Curious and self evident.

[American Constitutionalist]

I guess their answer is “ Obama’s records is not for public record “ ... but, yet, some how ? O’Donnell’s is ? strange ? isn’t it ?

[Non-Sequitur]

In case you didn't read Sarah's words closer, Sarah was not just talking about the MSM going after O'Donnell, but, the MSM went after Sarah too unjustly.

I will be the first to agree that the MSM has given Obama too much of a free ride for too long, but how did they unjustly go after Palin? And let's not include bloggers like the ones who were saying that Bristol was really the mother of her youngest son, because if you want to include bloggers in the mix than they've gone after Obama since the campaign. How did the media unfairly go after Palin?

And I'll close by noting that if she thought that they went after her unjustly in 2008 then wait until she announces for 2012. She hasn't seen anything yet.

It was a fair question given the incoherent nature of that clip from his post.

[American Constitutionalist]

But you make it sound like it's the end all be all of the end for them if they were to run for public office.

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.. ?

Ohh, yeah,
Sorry Non-Sequitur I forgot, ( a touch of sarcasm )..

It's .. all .. a .. matter .. of .. " Public Record " on O'Donnell's part...

Yeah, we get it man.... believe us, we " GET IT " ...

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...

[American Constitutionalist]

Comic, my Ingrish is just fine..... I’m edumacated....

[American Constitutionalist]

" And let's not include bloggers like the ones who were saying that Bristol was really the mother of her youngest son, because if you want to include bloggers in the mix than they've gone after Obama since the campaign. How did the media unfairly go after Palin? "

Ok, I'll be fair and give you credit on that, however the MSM ran with that and made it into a larger monster where you had skits on SNL about it... the MSM is not innocent in that regard.

[American Constitutionalist]

" And I'll close by noting that if she thought that they went after her unjustly in 2008 then wait until she announces for 2012. She hasn't seen anything yet. "
True, but, after the November elections, the Democrats and the MSM will be recovering from the hangover...

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Sarah calls the lamestream media "the lamestream media."

Do any other Republicans have the guts to do that?

That's one of the many reasons why I love Sarah. Give 'em hell, Sarah!
