From the Radio Right Comes an Amen Chorus for Palin

Dennis Prager was on the air last week on the day Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was named to the Republican ticket, and without missing a beat, the conservative radio host pronounced her "an American Margaret Thatcher."

Her speech to the convention, Prager said Thursday during a break in his program, "just reconfirmed my love at first sight." Across the table, Sen. Orrin Hatch was slipping on the headphones to join him and immediately went on offense when he went on the air.

"I've really been offended by how the mainstream media have tried to smear her by attacking, in essence, her daughter," the Utah Republican said. "It was pathetic. It was hitting below the belt. It was despicable."

It sounds good to this point but in the end Howard Kurtz lets his partisanship show big time.

The MSM will never get it. The harder they push Obama, the more they'll turn off the American people.

Of course the “shock-jocks” are behind Palin: she’s a conservative.

CNN's Larry King had asked a guest, "Do you think that the governor is using her children in a way? I mean, she has these five children, one has Down syndrome, one is pregnant, and parading them all onstage?"

Larry King thinks children with Down Syndrome should be hidden? Parents shouldn't be proud of their children with Down Syndrome?

The left hates Thatcher. They still hate Reagan too but most are too young and ignorant to understand what these two larger than life personalities did for the free world.

[Alas Babylon!]

What a d!ck!

What do you think Larry, she had them knowing that one day she’d be the VP nominee?

She has what she and her husband has, and obviously loves them all, and is proud of them. Too bad for you that makes her look good, as you are a biased dem-leftist supporter posing as a balanced host.

You think the article is bad,go to the comments section and read the mostly lib responses. I’m affraid that as long as there are these many totally ignorant people in our country,we as a nation are DOOMED!

"Howard Kurtz lets his partisanship show big time."

Panic in liberal La-La land. Only by spinning the facts is Howdie Howie able to defend his party. When did Howie ever describe The Messiah's meager resume' as "meager"? Did Howie miss the mainstream media's assault on Sarah's baby as belonging to her daughter? The man is either incompetent or biased. I tend to believe both. Incompetence is a far worse trait for a journalist than simply being biased.
