They haven’t a shred of honesty or decency. These are amoral people, living lives in proximity to wealth and power and believing that translates into telling the hayseeds how to live with their cosmopolitan wisdom.

Then we can all have the same paradise the witless voters in those steaming toilets have, because the members of the press all have limousines and live in secure complexes.

Yeah, with the FBI files the media never cared about.

Great post. You really need to re-post it on the ABC site, it’s crammed to overflowing with lefties.

Anything but credible. Great line.

ABC has earned it.

I’’m surprised they aren’t recruiting the clown to run the Alaska Democrat Party.

If you think about it, they attempted actual disinformation on election day as well, saying that exit polls showed Kerry would win. Some of them were so brazen they started naming states like North Carolina in the mix, implying a Bush meltdown was coming.

They lie. They get caught. No big deal. On and on and on.

$105,849

The amount Obama received from Freddie Mac.

Yet THIS is a "scandal".

Don’t hold your breath for ABC to report that.

I've now read this story—the full story at ABC—and I still don't see the scandal. Palin’s spokesman's explanation is perfectly reasonable to anyone with even a microbe of understanding of how any bureaucracy works. The people posting comments there are bloody morons.

Yep. And that's probably why they stuck it there, along with Tapper's piece saying Republicans agreed with Obama on the Iraqi Visit story. Who did they produce? Chuck Hagel.

Great point — the only REAL “troopergate” in our national life has been the genuine scandal surrounding scumbag Bill Clinton, which virtually none of the MSM would touch except to sneer at conservatives who thought it mattered.....

Now the MSM is trying to cook up its own farcical “troopergate” to derail a terrific Republican candidate, and the only “there” there is that a R. Governor fired an insubordinate and dishonest cabinet member for failing to behave responsibly as part of the Governor’s executive team. Said fired (in)subordinate also happened to be a spouse abuser who refused to fire a child abuser and drunk who did not belong on the State Trooper force.....

So how again do the great liberal hypocrites of our world get away with spewing such enormouse quantities of dishonest b.s.?????

They always have, at least during my lifetime. The fellow travelers tok their first shot at Nixon in 1952, trying to force him off the ticket. They smeared McCarthy's name forever, and tried to do it with Nixon during Watergate.

But as a young Democrat myself, I noticed that Kennedy could cheat on his wife and Ted Kennedy could drown a girl and Wallace could be a useful racist, and everything was cool as long as you were a Democrat. But any, absolutely any scandal involving Republicans was to be waved like a bloody shirt, covered so repetitively you'd want to break your TV.

These are unhappy, shameless, amoral people who believe they are monarchs helping elect monarchs. Many of them have hands in the public til. The media declares what is true and what isn't, what is newsworthy and what isn't and roots for their favorite team fanatically, cheating like wrestling (or NFL) referees.

  but they have to get her for something. There must be something!!! They have to work fast and find something incriminating because if they don't find something very soon, then their heads will explode!

The libs are having a national coming-out party, revelling in the hatred they feel and deciding "Yes, this is how I REALLY FEEL about life!" All because of one woman from Alaska. Amazing.

If McCain wins it will be not so much for who or what Palin is but for what she forced liberals to express. Those precious independents who will swing this election will look on the Obamoids and shrink back in disgust.

Yeah, I remember when they used to alternate the whole “red” and “blue” electoral map thing. Now the dammed democrats, socialists, and communists decided they should be represented by the color blue (deceiving bastards) and true Americans be represented by the commie color red; nice, huh? I sure do trust my national “news’ organizations…NOT!

I hope so. This is war, very much like every campaign against these people.

I was a staunch Anti-McCain guy, and the night before the Palin pick I was on here arguing against Old John with fellow freepers. I knew Palin was the real deal the minute I saw her, and commend McCain for the wisdom of this choice.

The fact that the press is so rabid and unhinged shows her effectiveness and danger to them. Quayle was a darn fine senator and a decent vice president, and they hammered him into dust before he had a chance to become known. That's what this is about, to insure that even if elected, she'll be so cowed and gun shy and wounded, that she can't fight their elitist cabal.

I like the way the document is dated as “6-19-08” at the top of the form (presumably the date the request form was filled in), but date next to the approval signature is one day earlier “6-18-08”.

Plus their is no indication on the form for the specific purpose of the trip except to meet with Murkowski.

And even Fox went right along with it. To be represented by red every single election and have all these people say “red state” and “turn it red” bugs me to no end. I remember the “red menace.”

But it shows you what the media can do and how fast they can make something part of the dialogue when they unite. And they are usually pretty united. We should all e-mail Fox and tell them we want to be blue.
