'Creepy': Rich Sees Palin Behind McCarthyite Plot
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/14/2008 10:41:43 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

My NewsBusters colleague Noel Sheppard, in the course of detailing how the New York Times devoted four items and over 6,000 words today to attacking Sarah Palin, cited Frank Rich's column and its malicious message. Rich's column is such a treasure trove for chroniclers of Palin Derangement Syndrome that I'd like to devote a bit more time to deconstructing it.

For sheer paranoid fantasy, it will be hard to outdo the scenario Rich sketches. In having mentioned Harry Truman in her convention speech, Rich sees nothing less than a "creepy" clue to what Palin has in mind. Truman, you see [roll the menacing music] . . . ascended to the presidency due to the death of the president whom he served as VP. Rich imagines a "Palin presidency" that is nothing less than a far-right, McCarthyite coup.

Annotated excerpts from Rich's The Palin-Whatshisname Ticket [emphasis added]:

After this whole Palin-Incident, it's entirely probable that I will go to my grave having never - from this day forward - taken a liberal seriously again.

Ever.

About anything.

How did Frank Rich find out?

Once McCain/Palin wins, there first move will be to arrest Rich and the rest of the NYT’s staff and send them to Gitmo for reeducation.

My cat told me that..../s

These folks think more highly of themselves then probably should, they are unhinged and it shows.

I have to admit I can't force myself to read Frank Rich. MoDo is a more entertaining writer and seems to have a small amount of self-awareness.

Rich is the very definition of New York Jewish a$$hole, and believe me, I ought to know.

I think he suffers from P.M.S., Palin Madness Syndrome.

What is about him that's Jewish, other than residual ancestral DNA?

Of course dear old Frank, bless his black heart, would NEVER suspect a Vice President Hillary of having Arkancide designs on Barry in an Obama White House. NEVER!

Be sure to follow link in this post to the other story.

Two great reads.

Only bare mention of Obama in the Times, but with four articles and 6,000 snarling, snarky words on Sarah Palin.

Good heavens, Batman, they’ve gone mad at the Times.

They destroyed President Bush and stole victory and honor from our troops, and think they can do it again.

They can.

I'm telling you, in the name of Frank Rich, that Hillary has NO plans to run a Barack Obama Administration! She is a truly God-fearing, righteous woman, who wants long life and a successful reign for the Most Merciful Lord President Obama (PBUH)!

A Eugine McCarthyite coup? I'm sure glad that that one SCOTUS vote allowed us to keep our guns.

I've decided on several categories for the current Palin media assault:

Scales (1-5):

H (the Hypocrisy Scale)
P (The Palin Derangement Syndrome Scale)
D (The media Democrat foot soldier Scale)

First Responders are the media mouths that were first on the scene with their heads exploding over the Palin choice.

I'm pegging Frankie here with PPPPPP (6Ps), since he buried the needle on his first Palin column, and appears to have slid further into gibbering madness with this current column.

[That newspaper can’t fold fast enough for me. I just hope I live to see it, seriously.]

That’s the great part about 6000 words of snarky anti-Palin diatribes - few people read that crap across the river Stic from liberal New York.

I suggest changing their name to New York Titanic, its taking on water fast now.

Its amazing how Sarah comes out as Queen Jezebel and Hillary appears as Snow White when in fact the depictions are reversed!

It’s an inbred cultural outlook that mercifully seems to be passing from the scene.
