I wouldn’t dismiss Palin. No one I know is tired of her. In fact, the attacks have made people more curious.
I thought she did well in Gibson’s interview. She did even better if the parts Gibson edited out are put back in.
The media need people like you on the inside, bringing perspective. This goes for the left and the right. Unfortunately, situations like the one you described are rare in a world where “everyone” is a democrat.
First off, I didn't "dismiss" her. Acknowledging the larger reality isn't dismissal. Secondly, just because no one you know personally is tired of her says nothing about the country as a whole--no poll I've seen shows that McCain/Palin have broken 50% nationally with any consistency. And I simply don't see any evidence that anyone is more curious about her, especially since poll after poll shows people don't feel as positively about her as they did when she first came on the scene.
Again, get outside your own circle. The Gibson interview was not a success to anyone who's objective. We do our side no service by merely cheerleading and saying Palin is always great and always ahead.
ABC didn’t learn a thing from Rathergate. There still manufacturing “news”.
Yet, the MSM has badly misinterpreted their tactics in Sarah Palin's case - her supporters JUST DON'T CARE. They see past the BS, accusations and badgering. Every appearance she makes in front of thousands of true-hopefuls increases the party's resolve and strength. And, this my friends (to borrow JMs favorite phrase), is what eats at these Obama-lovin MSM phonies night and day.
“Its funny how the Democrats always accuse the GOP of dirty tricks when theyre the ones practicing them. As far as I can tell, the GOP dropped the practice with RINO Nixon, while the left has become 8th degree masters.”
I believe the Dems and MSM use the “30 strikes and you’re out rule” when it comes to wrong-doing by non-Republicans. Apparently Trooper Wooten has many more strikes ahead of him before the MSM decide to get outraged about the situation.
Now that they’ve figured out there’s no dirt to nail Palin with on troopergate, I’m waiting for some enterprising reporter to flip the argument and say that Palin wrongfully allowed a complete incompetent to remain employed as a state trooper because he had family ties to her! The MSM is shameless in its hypocrisy.
I have the utmost contempt for the MSM. I really do.
The homosexual leftist and minor league propagandist ROOD decided he had a story and let fly and why not, after all there are plenty of imbeciles out there who think this means something.
HUSSEIN the muslim commie is going down, and so is the leftist media.
Here he is, minor league propagandist for the socialist party that calls itself Democrat,Justin Rood
“Bill Clinton gets goopy with an intern, no problem. Jefferson, Rangel, you name it, shown to be crooks. They assault people and steal elections, but the media sneers and blames Republicans. Spitzer must have ticked off some commies somewhere or he would still be in power.”
You forgot to mention democrats getting away with MURDER - or at least negligent homicide - in Ted Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick incident.
They want you to believe that.

As you can imagine I'm eager to see the evidence to the contrary.
When I first read this exclusive report my first reaction was, Youre shitting me, right? Upon re-reading I now realize that its a classic example of the kind of slimy innuendo that the MSM has been throwing at Sarah Palin since her candidacy was announced. The members of the MSM who are determined to insure that their candidate will win this November are piling it deeper and higher in the hopes that a general cloud of doubt will form and a young and accomplished woman will be consigned to the ash-heap of history.
In this context it seems that ABC has authorized a travel budget that is aimed at making disparaging and untrue statements about Governor Palin for the purpose of derailing her campaign. I wonder if it says that in the travel vouchers at ABC?
Governor’s change members of their cabinet at will. The cabinet in Michigan is not a civil service employee and has no job protections if a Governor leaves office or the current Governor wants a change. It’s expected and for a lot less honorable reasons then a trooper tasering a child. Usually it’s just for a difference over policy matters or politics that causes a department head to be out of favor with the Governor’s plans. I work in a state department and we’ve had 2 department heads in our agency and the same Governor.
The title should read, “New Media FUD about Palin’s Troopergate Claims”. The Mainstream Media should register as a 527 for Obama.
