Media ferocity toward Palin reveals double standard
SF Gate ^ | Pat Buchanan

Posted on 09/08/2008 11:16:02 PM PDT by Tempest

One wonders: What did Sarah Palin ever do to inspire the rage and bile that exploded on her selection by John McCain as his running mate? What is there either in this woman's record or resume to elicit such ferocity?

It's a good article that the savages will ignore.

Don’t look now, but some of the DUmmies are gloating over some dirt they supposedly have on McCain...

Does the other side do anything but dig and smear?

The metrosexual eunuchs in the media are terrified of strong women. They already have little confidence in their own masculinity and this REALLY makes them question it. REAL men aren't afraid of the Sarahs of the world. We love, admire, and appreciate them.

She’s prolife and she’s Christian. The two intolerables.

Leftists particually hate Christians. That hatred is so pervasive and corrosive I really do believe it is satanic.

The other thing is she’s prolife. Same reason, except she puts the guilts on every women that has a mental problem with children and has had an abortion because of personal selfishness. That’s not every woman, but it’s a lot of them.

A wise woman once told me, there is nothing people resent so much as those who show them their own imperfections by leading good and decent lives.

From LGF's comments:

It seems that the way the Kos feverswamp works is that someone pops the most paranoid delusion s/he can think of, drools over it at length, and then--solely on the basis that this paranoid delusion has been raised there and drooled over at length--that is taken as a confirmation, and a platform which serves as the jumping-off place for the next over-the-top paranoid delusion, which then serves as confirmation/platform in its turn for the next, and so on.

Result? It's mock turtles all the way down.

The major reason they went after her so hard is that she is a threat. There was a lot of excitement about Palin in the Republican base, and that has become a “game changer” as the campaign goes forward.

The liberals are very closed minded. To them, a true feminist has to be liberal, would never have 5 kids, and would be in favor of abortion. Since Sarah is conservative and against the holy grail of abortion on demand, she is like an “Uncle Tom” black person according to the template of the MSM. The media treatment of Clarence Thomas as not being a real black person is similar to the media treatment of Sarah Palin as not quite being a real woman.

And speaking of Daily Kos, I thought it was beyond the pale that the MSM took the rantings of the kooks and crackpots of Daily Kos and used them as their source for a series of smear stories against Sarah and her daughter. What the heck ever happened to journalistic standards and ethics? Is there no need for legitimate sources? Does the blog entry of an idiot on Daily Kos now qualify as fact checking for a story in the New York Times?????????

“the MSM took the rantings of the kooks and crackpots of Daily Kos and used them as their source”

the kooks and crackpots of Kos ARE today’s MSM!

Olbermann, and MANY other known MSM people post there. the others get thier “News” from there, and are too lazy to fact-check anything before spewing!!!

it's not sexism

it's because she is a conservative attractive woman against a negro

they have to make a PC choice I reckon

but make no mistake, the two giant gorillas in the closet are ABORTION and her FAITH.

they hate her for them both...they do Bush too but her worse

anyone doubt that supernatural Evil does not walk this earth and dwells in the hearts and minds of our culture...

explain this then why so many people will so hate a little woman from Alaska simply because she wants to stop them from killing their children for the sake of convenience.

one day this will be written about

they are now attacking her Pentecostal faith....attacking perhaps the most reliable socially conservative Christian faith in the nation.

does anyone think this is by accident in historical context?

My Catholic friends take heed of this....now is not the time to grind your axe. Wise minds in Rome have just now mumbled their approval of her over this most important issue

Since they live off of the welfare rolls, they’ve decided to do something constructive with their time.

Seriously though, the DUmmies are nuts and the MSM are a bunch of lazy schlocks that just copy and paste from DU’s website to avoid real work.

Yep, the unrelenting hatred from the left really has me fired up for a fight.

I know that 99% of what gets posted over there is balloon juice, but there it’s pretty entertaining (in a sick, train wreck sort of way).

It’ll be interesting to see if there is any negative stuff on McCain released this week...even a stopped watch is right once in awhile.

What was the timeline for the “fake but accurate” TANG letters last election? It seems to me that they are reaching for the slime a little earlier this time.

Perhaps they are still smarting over the Swift Boat beating that Kerry took, or maybe Obama is so obviously unable to measure up in the general that they feel the only chance they have is dirt.

Not only are these attacks untrue, but with each unwarrented attack she’s adding layers upon layers of teflon.

I’m okay with that.

Of course! Although the KosKids' unhinged, spittle-spraying rants aren't much worse than those of Pinch Sulzberger's own merry band of autotheist, egomaniac ginks.

Easy, she increased the chances that a Republican would win the white house.

Every Catholic I know is very happy Palin was selected by McCain.

They don't dig. And when they do not feel threatened they don't smear so much as gloat.

good.

I would hate to see some Pentecostal friction get in the way

though I think in some areas Catholics now have praise services do they not?

Obama is a good works platitudes Christian who stands for nothing that means responsibility or judgement except against those who have their own.

nothing Christian about Wright btw....a black version of Christian Identity
