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.
This is the time for McCain to show his brass.
He can make them, and the Messiah they are working for, look like silly partisan fools and not worth considering (or voting for).
Can he, will he? Or will he play nice, be considerate, and work the “other side” of the aisle?
“When the test comes back that Trig is her son, the liberals will look extremely foolish.”
Personally, I believe she just needs to tell them publicly...as a mother...that they can go STRAIGHT TO HELL. End of story.
This, the trashing of Governor Palin, is the lowest I have ever seen the Left and the Media (same thing) stoop. Sickening. Infuriating. Unbelievable.
It would just be the start of their demands. It’s ok to tell people no.
They get stronger because NO ONE EVER SLAPS THEM WITH A LAWSUIT!
1) An AIDS test
2) his legal Birth Certificate
3) All the documents published from his work with Ayers and the University in Chicago
4) A drug test
Sounds like a fair trade...
Did you see Newt eat MSNBC’s Ron Allen lunch for him? Allen questioned Palin’s experience. Newt compared Palin and Obama then challenged Allen to name one thing that Obama has done. Beautiful!
“...demanding to see the birth certificate for Palin’s newborn...”
What we really need to see is a bona fide birth certificate for Obama.
There will be backlash.
Ok, my gaydar just went DING DING DING! I bet there’s no anti-Christian bias behind this.
In many other country’s these guys would be already shot dead just like in Russia.
Who is the owner of KOS? Where do they live and can we follow them 24/7?
I pray Sarah slams them to the curb tomorrow night.
Race card failure — I’m voting for the minority, I’m voting for the girl.
The Democrats have left the planet.
I am a fervent supporter of the 1st Amendment, and all of the rest of our Constitution, but this stuff is really beyond anything I’ve ever seen or expected. The selection of Palin for the ticket has got to be viewed to be so very potent by the Dims to cause such incredibly blatant ignorance. That we are seemingly powerless to prevent this trash from being spewed out is simply galling beyond belief.
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.

“Unfortunately, the Rabid Left happens to be very entrenched in most neighborhoods in America.”
Starting in the mid-to-late 60’s the left concentrated on local elections, libraries, schools, and colleges. Plus professional orgs, and the like.
Now we slowly are waking up.
That’s why it’s important to vote even if the only office is dogcatcher and it’s uncontested.
Hey, what ever happened with the DNA results from the baby that women John Edwards was cheating with had?
I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe. I knew the drive by’s were disgusting, but this is just insane...... every time I think they’ve reached a new low something like this pops up.
I think Gov. Palin needs to use part of her speech, coming up, to stand up for her family and totally obliterate the drive by’s.
