McCain presidential campaign strategist Steve Schmidt went on the record with the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz today, revealing the depths to which the mainstream media has sunk in their efforts to destroy the family of Republican vice presidential pick Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Schmidt said that the campaign has been deluged with demands from reporters that the Palin family submit to DNA testing to assuage baseless rumors promulgated by the Democratic party's favorite website, the Daily Kos.
Schmidt accused the media of being "on a mission to destroy" Sarah Palin.
Kurtz writes that Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the Daily Kos, believes the made up allegations against Palin and her daughter are legitimate. Kurtz fails to note that Moulitsas writes for the Post's sister publication, Newsweek.
Schmidt also said reporters are demanding to see the birth certificate for Palin's newborn.
The news media is treading on dangerous ground with their despicable behavior regarding the Palin family. They are arousing an anger in Americans all across the country who see themselves in the Palin family and are beyond outrage over how they have been trashed.
“Palin is a terrible choice for VP to take over in case McCain dies; however, McCain is a terrible choice for president. This is a lose, lose ticket.”
Allways with the negative waves...
“You know the Obamabots will be bussing their people to the polls like crazy.”
They’ll be doing MUCH worse than that - as in criminal fraud at the polls - I worry a great deal about that. Not to mention the estimates of tens of thousands (at least) of illegal aliens voting due to lax tracking, procedures, records.
Civil War II needs to start sooner than I thought....
I was alerted to this totally heart felt and understandable comment from a leading member of the the ever vigilant 'CW II Special Ping Forces', the specific operator shall remain anonymous.
Yes indeed, how long will we agree to play word-games with these criminal scum?
Tis a difficult question, indeed!
CW II PING!
>Schmidt also said reporters are demanding to see the birth certificate for Palin’s newborn.<
Now this couldn’t be payback for all the bad press about a certain Hawaiian birth certificate, could it?
Naw, couldn’t be...
Under US law non-citizens can not donate to our election campaigns. But JimRob can accept money from anyone! Support FR and you are supporting goodness and McCain too.
I’d love to see an all-American hammer manufacturer ship a few dozen fine claw hammers to the Palins, so that they might all have one in hand to throw at the skull of whichever bottom-feeding scumbag press creep asks the next question...and the next...and the next...
The media has fallen to new lows.....
Taking their daily talking points from the lunatics at Daily KOS!!!
Any of you folks still doubt how thin the veneer of civilization in the U.S. has become?
Yep!
“There’s nobody more terrified of Gov. Palin than Hillary is. McCain-Palin for 8 years.”
Naw, I believe Hill/Bill is most terrified of one of their own party, especially BHO, being in 8 years. Don’t think they fear McCain (who’s pretty much promised to serve only one term, and their ego poo-poo’s Palin as a real contender in ‘12).
That being the one that still hasn't been produced ...
(Birth certificates)
“”Only candidates must show eligibility for the office of President and Trig is not running. Feel free to request birth certificates from all candidates.” “
That would be brilliant, since his undoubtably says ‘Republica de Panama.’ He was born in Colon, Panama, 1 mile from Coco Solo, Canal Zone.
I am Soooooooooooooo looking forward to Wed night!
I can explain that.
The man who funds the left wing sites is man that funds
Acorn and all of it's voter fraud.
Obama, longtime attorney and activist for ACORN.
Say hello to the man behind Acorn, Obama, DCUG, Kos, MoveOn, etc and all the smears:
Is there ANY doubt in your mind?
“I’m sure Karl Rove’s got a machine to handle that.”
DW - this is the second of your posts I’ve read here tonight. So tell me - who do you favor in this 2-person race (because that’s what it IS), where’re you coming from politically?
first page of comments read, no one has mentioned that it is not impossible that McCain’s campaign expected or possibly planned on this type of reaction.
In my opinion, it is either that they have set up the media to create a sympathy backlack or they absolutely did not vet this candidate - I see no middle ground on possibilities. They have seemed fairly media-savvy recently, there is no way they couldn’t realize the daughter being pregnant, the recent birth also, would not get wall-to-wall coverage of the worst sort. In fact, this might have greatly influenced her being chosen.
“I think it’s illegal for McCain to accept foreign money, but Al Gore may know some impoverished monks who will launder it for you.”
you know, seriously, you’re probably right, technically. for our canadian FRiend, it may require doing it through someone here. but as I said in my previous post, it’s a fact that BHO has had much support from Islamic/terrorist factions (as you said, though, laundered/funneled through “acceptable” channels).
lotsa journalist propagandists
so few lamposts......pity, we’ll just have to double up
