Taking a look at the stories in the Old Media will show that the Media is turning attack dog ASAP on McCain's choice for vice president, Sarah Palin. Notice the main meme is her supposed "inexperience." Funny how Palin was the VP pick for about 15 seconds before the Old Media went after her "inexperience" while they have yet to hit Barry Obama on HIS inexperience at all and he's been running for president since 2004. We should also note that Palin didn't get the honeymoon that Biden got when his announcement was made. But, the worst is yet to come and the Daily Kos is doing its level best to mine the lowest of lows. In a Kos diary today, it is being alleged that Sarah Palin "faked" the pregnancy of her last child, a baby born with Down's Syndrome. The claim is that it was her teenaged daughter's child, not hers. And, true to form, the Kossacks took that absurd calumny and hate even further in the comments.

My log isn’t nearly as big as the pine tree in yours. You just spout all kinds of vitriol on these threads and you must expect the rest of us to just sit by and let you spout. Uh uh.

Then don’t bother posting to me. That will end it...
How do you know that God didn’t raise her up for a time such as this as He has others in the past? She seems to have managed her family as governor and mayor. She probably won’t be as busy as VP as she was in the governorship. She has a very supportive husband.
Some of the comments here are despicable. I thought I was on DU! LOL.
What did you think of her speech? All I can say is WOW!
Have you heard the latest vicious rumor? Back in 1964, a woman was so impressed with "A Time For Choosing" that Ronald Reagan had an little known affair and a little girl was conceived. She was hustled of to some remote corner of the country and no one has ever heard what became of her.
This is the same person who says to me "don't judge?" Hypocricy par excellence!
You posted to me without my solicitation. I simply respodned out of courtesy. I have no reason to solicit your opinion. You never say anything constructive, and I really don't like you. So, follow your own advice and be gone. Thank you.
Well, I can’t say I really ‘like’ you either, kosta. You have nothing to say except nasty remarks to anyone who disagrees with you. Ah, feel the love...
Well, democrats feel if they lie often enough, it becomes truth!
p.s., You must be a delight to live with...NOT.
However, my argument was really about "any woman" who has been attacked as she has been
And Obama wasn't? Did you feel the same urge to defend him against such attacks as you feel compelled to defend a woman you admit you barely know who she is?
Bottom line is, we all have our own filters and red flag triggers. They are assumptions based on previous experience or they are based on certain principles.
Let me just show you how the this double standard works. On August 29, Karl Rove explained on CBS's "Face the Nation" why Virginia Governor wasn't fit to be (Vice) President.
The town where Sarah Palin was a mayor is 15,000th by size, currently less than 10,000 people, compared to Richmond's 200,000, and her entire state has 680,000 people, compared to Virginia's 7.6 million (more than 11 times). Governor Kaine was a governor for 3 years, and Palin less than two.
How come Kaine is not "qualified" and she is? How can we sou quickly change our tune? Where is objectivity?
That's been debunked as the fraud that it is. Even the source for this lie has admitted it HERE .
The source did not lie. The source, which was official, the AIP secretary, provided erroneous information to the NYT. NYT simply reported what the official gave. As it turns out, the husband was a member of the secesisonist party until 2002, and Sarah Palin attended the Party's conventions 2000 "out of courtesy."
How would you look at her attendance, regardless of the reason, if this was a Communist Party convention? Everything points to the fact that she has good relations with this secessionist organization and doesn't mind welcoming its presence in her town or state (as in her recent 2008 TV welcoming address). Even your own link confirms that.
I remind you that the AIP president says "I am not American. I am Alaskan." And the AIP motto is "Alaska First" (compare to McCain's "Country First").
Going by registration records is pointless since Joe Lieberman demonstrated that one can be a registered Democrat and actively work and associate with a Republican Party and its platform. He even called on fellow Democrats to cross party lines for the good of the country.
Apparently Palin has had close and warm relationship with the traitors gathered around AIP when she couldn't even fathom that she would be thrust into partnership with a man she publicly disagreed with on more than one occasion.
Judging is fine, but at least have the facts
What are facts? Was she vetted on facts or on her apparent usefulness?
The pattern shows that she had closer relationship with separatist traitors than with the Democrats or even McCain liberal Republicans. She is an opportunist (which is a character trait no one should be proud of).
When Pat Buchanan visited her village shed wore his button "out of courtesy" as a mayor! Give me a break. Stupid Buchanan still thinks her and she are one! Apparently she has everything to everybody. That's one way to be popular.
I assert that it is unfair to judge her not capable because she has a family
And I assert that it is unfair to judge her capable because she has a family!
NO ONE knows what the dynamics are of the support system in that family
You make my point. Why is judging her worthy based on incomplete facts right and judging her unworthy isn't?
It could well be His plan that Obama be elected and that America suffer the consequences
You are beginning to sound like Pastor Hagee...you are scaring me, FK.
Her speech is in about an hour. I sort of feel invested now, so I really hope she does well
She did well, for the crowd she represents.
apologies for typos...way too late for me.
It can't be known with certainty because God does not tell us in certain terms. However, I am more than comfortable with assuming that they are saved because that would be consistent by implication with the God who is presented to us in scripture. I just can't declare it as fact.
The democrats must be petrified.
Amen. Believers have the same hope David was given. Infant salvation supports the fact that men are not saved by works of any kind, but by God’s grace alone.
Then I am more than comofrtable in assuming that "saving faith" is an oxymoron because faith is not required to be saved.
