McCain camp: Negative Palin press is spiteful
The Washington Times ^ | September 3, 2008 | Stephen Dinan

The McCain campaign says press coverage of John McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, has gone overboard, and that reporters are being spiteful because the campaign managed to keep the press from learning about her selection until they announced it themselves.

So far, the scrutiny has not dented the support of evangelical and fiscal conservatives, who have said Mrs. Palin's selection has renewed their faith in Mr. McCain's candidacy.

Translation of this statement: Conservatives tell the media and Left we're not joining them on their fast track to Hell.

The MSM used to be able influence voters with subtle shading or spinning in a way that wasn’t open or obvious

The DBM/MSM still influences too many sheeple in this country.

For you to think that it no longer does...is folly.

I disagree with this assessment. A viper needs no reason to bite. It is a viper. Biting is what it does.

Governor Sarah Palin is not only a dragon slayer, she is a three headed dragon slayer: the entire mainstream press, the washington insider ruling class, and the democrat party are all connected by a scaly, nasty body of horrible philosophies.

Governor Sarah Palin is up against a vile and wicked three headed monster. Governor Sarah Palin is a hero—she will slay the dragon.

THANK YOU!! McCain better learn who he is dealing with and fast.

On one hand...I think McCain knows.

On the other hand...he's been in love with the microphone and lights of the DBM/MSM for years....

It's the classic love hate relationship.

such a shame that the politics of today come down to trying to discredit your opponent in order to increase your chances of being elected to office as opposed to selling yourself to the voters by telling them what you are going to do to better this country if elected. i for one think palin was an excellant choice as she is a breath of fresh air and will shake up washington good ol boy politics as usual. kind of reminds me of when ol uncle ronnie ran for president. then we have obama’s choice for v.p. a man that ran against him in the primarys and told us how obama is not qualified for the presidency. now that biden is the v.p. pick obama has all the experience in the world. sounds like same ol good ol boy politics to me.

While I like what I know of her....Let's not get carried away.

Hero?

Not now....not yet.

not only that but a very appealing conservative. if he picked another older guy with a few extra pounds and thinning hair, they wouldn’t get him so much. I don’t remember crap like this after Bush picked Cheney.

It’s the minions of the Evil One recognizing and attacking a Warrior of the Light. Nothing less than that - recognize this for what it is.

Exactly right. It's the continuation of the same old controversy and struggle that opened in the courts of Heaven when Lucifer jealously desired a position of power and honor that were not rightfully his. He started a campaign of deceit and innuendo within that realm that continues to this day in the current outworking of events and personalities. Once the curtain is pulled back and you see it, then it becomes obvious.
