MSNBC 'Smears' Palin From Very 1st Moment ("How many houses does Palin add ...")

From the very first moment that John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin for his Republican running mate was announced, the MSNBC news network was engaged in a deliberate attempt to smear the Alaska governor, according to Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.

During Friday night's edition of "The O'Reilly Factor," the Fox anchor displayed MSNBC's "breaking news" graphic, which ran the message, "How many houses does Palin add to the Republican ticket?"

"How many houses does Palin add to the Republican ticket?"

How many IQ points does Biden add to the Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) ticket?

Same answer: one.

McCain and his wife should buy a few more and donate them to some needy families after this hurricane.

A better question is "how many years of executive experience does Palin ad?"

Four presidents generally ranked in the top fifteen by historians have had experience comparable to Governor Palin’s prior to assuming office: Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Grover Cleveland.

Sarah Palin spent four years as a City Council Member for Wasilla, Alaska, two years as Mayor of Wasilla, and two years as Governor of Alaska.

FDR spent just over two years in the New York State Senate, eight years as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and four years as Governor of New York.

Theodore Roosevelt spent some time in the New York State Assembly(?), two years as Governor of New York, two years as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and less than one year as Vice President of the United States.

Woodrow Wilson spent eight years as President of Princeton University and two years as Governor of New Jersey.

Grover Cleveland spent two years as Sheriff of Erie County, two years as Mayor of Buffalo, and two years as Governor of New York.

Overall, I’d say that Palin’s background is comparable with that of several presidents considered highly successful, even considering that her state has a smaller population than the other two states on the list.

In contrast, I was unable to find a single President of the United States who had a complete absence of executive experience and as little legislative experience as Obama’s four years in the United States Senate after eight years in the state senate. While there were several presidents with experience comparable to Biden’s 25 years in the United States Senate, his notable accomplishments tend to be in the direction of millions of dollars per year in earmarks for his district rather than reducing wasteful spending or fighting corruption in either his own party or in Washington as a whole.

While Obama has been running for office for as long as Palin has been running a state, I find it hard to consider the two tasks as comparable preparation.

One final note: I will be posting this multiple times because I think it is important to get the word out that that her experience is in keeping with previous presidents. I apologize to those who are annoyed by seeing it too often.

How about charlie rangel, he has 4 apartments and now we find out he has a villa in the Dominica Republic. Besides we also know that 2 people from MSNBC would like to have sex with obami, bill mahr said so.

I wonder how many houses she does own? She probably helped build them, I saw someone posted a picture of her and hubby siding a house. I could see them owning a hunting or fishing cabin in addition to their house.

This woman is a regular Chuck Norris, is there anything she can’t do?

[Jacquerie]

So, in their normal fashion, all they can do is attempt to smear . . .

You are far too courteous. IMHO, they do their best to utterly destroy their opposition. Very Stalinesque.

No one watches MSNBC other than the morons at Kos and DU...

Bill Maher: Matthews and Olbermann
"Were Ready To Have Sex" With Obama

"I think there is a problem, though, with the media gushing over him too much.
I don't think he thinks that he's all that, but the media does.
I mean, the coverage after, that I was watching, from MSNBC,
I mean these guys were ready to have sex with him....It's embarrassing."

“No one watches MSNBC other than the morons at Kos and DU...”

You are correct but they are tuning in and making some numbers and that gives the network some legitimacy. It is a disgrace

The Leftists in the country are scared sh*@less with Sarah Palin on the ticket. She is commandeering the bulk of the Hillary supporters, the youth voters, and conservatives, too, who had been shut out up until her appearance on the scene.

The smear machines are being put in overdrive in the panic that has ensued as the Leftists are seeing their Messiah fade into yesterday as Americans have found a new star, who will bring a fresh perspective (conservative) to a sorely-in-need Republican Party.

There will be no smear too low for these panic-stricken fools....

“Do Brokaw and Williams have the stones to seperate themselves from the lunatics at MSNBC?”

In a word? No.

[ozzymandus]

I’ve had it with this sh*t. If somebody, somewhere, doesn’t beat an apology out of Olbermann, and if his “network” doesn’t fire him and apologize for every word out of his mouth, the FCC ought to step in and yank their license. RATS are always talking about taking FOX News off the air for “lying”, is a single one of them man enough to stand up to this?
