An Army of Sarahs

An Army of Sarahs

by Hugh Hewitt

Sarah Palin keeps collecting admirers. Her interview with ABC News Charles Gibson has added another legion, ....

(excerpt)

Manhattan-Beltway media elites are very slow to recognize anything completely new. This is why prior to 9/11 they were in the dark about Islamist extremism. It is why prior to $4 a gallon gas, they had never anticipated a huge majority of Americans would demand offshore drilling.

And it is why they still don't understand the Palin Breakout.

(excerpt)

The Great Snarl that has arisen and is directed at Sarah Palin has registered at a very deep level outside of the coastal elites. I know because I talk with people in the midwest and south every day, as well as in the suburbs of Atlanta, near the Rockies, in the smaller towns of Minnesota. They love Sarah Palin, and now they are increasingly angry with the MSM and especially with Obama and his campaign operatives.

These people hear the attacks on Palin and understand them --rightly-- to be attacks on themselves and their families. The dismissal they hear from studio talking heads are directed not just at Sarah Palin's life experiences, but at theirs. The contempt American media elites feel for their viewers has never been so sharply on display.

(excerpt)

Last week I wrote about Palin's appeal across the anti-freeze states. That appeal has since deepened, and the rallies are huge and growing wherever she travels. Americans like her, and dismiss the idea that she's not ready to be vice-president when the obviously unprepared whisp of a resume that is Obama is the nominee of the Democrats.

The MSM is clueless, and the Army of Sarahs is growing.

The article is exactly right. THAT is what will win the election this year.

“Sarah’s Army” or “Palin’s Platoon”...add those to the 600 different T-shirt designs being marketed to capitalize on her stunning popularity.

That sure is true at Free Republic! We are very glad to have Sarah. There is new energy here and elsewhere.

I fear the majority of America is not sufficiently savvy to always escape being snowed by the MSM.

But I really do hope enough are seeing through this particular snow job.

1. Sarah used a Lincoln quote to slap Charlie Gibson. We have that very quote on the wall of our new GOP hq here in Woodstock, Georgia. Come see.
2. Had a GOP rally today in Atlanta, GA with our Gov Perdue, US Senators Chambliss & Isakson. A live phone call from Sen McCain.
However, whenever Sarah was mentioned the overflow crow went wild. Thank you Charlie and MSM for helping elect Sarah.

And miss the debates - the gaffs - the MSM shooting them selves in the foot? Barry might confess his Muslim faith again, he might talk about all 57 states, Biden might ask dead people to stand up, he might get asked about how he sold out on RIAA. This is gonna get good - get some popcorn and enjoy!

Ya know, I got over making "retard" jokes when I left junior high school. Why can't these Drive-By Media types and the Hard Left muster some maturity?

I guess that they lack the couth to know that real adults don't attack special needs kids-- ever.
