Unleashed, Palin Makes a Pit Bull Look Tame
Washington Pest ^ | 10/7/08 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 10/07/2008 6:10:50 AM PDT by steve-b

John McCain is collapsing in the polls in Florida and other swing states, but Sarah Palin, God bless her, has a solution.

"For me, the heels are on, the gloves are off," she announced at high noon Monday to a group of Republican donors at the Naples Beach Club....

Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."...

"...One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet..."

Don't worry. The racial epithet was "Terrorist."

When Milbank was a reporter, as opposed to a columnist, he had to be creative and intermingle his subtle bias into his stories.

Now, he is free to be the radical leftist that he is. He is out of the closet, in more ways than one.

I hope the supporters remember we are not like the loonie lefts where violence is one of their tools.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the hecklers especially the person that yelled a racial slur were really from the loonie left. That’s one of their tools too. Remember these people don’t use their brains; just follow.

“Remember we meet at dawn”. was a line that El Rushbo was saying years ago when being accused of orchestrating some conspiracy against the mighty left.

He’d say it randomly during the broadcast.

It was a hoot.

As if Milbank’s reporting can be trusted.

Oh, I see. It was pretty funny even when I didn’t get it :-).

I still don’t know what a thunderstick is, though.

waving thunder sticks

What?

An example...

Lars & Lena were married and traveled to Duluth for their honeymoon. Lars carried Lena over the motel room's threshold, then said "Lena, I'm gonna show you a hundred pound o' dynamite", unbuckling his belt. Lena replied "Oh, Lars".

Lars then undid his slacks saying again "Lena, I'm gonna show you a hundred pound o' dynamite" with Lena again responding "Oh, Lars".

Finally, Lars pulled down his shorts. Lena shrieked and ran from the room. Lars, pulling his clothes on chased her down the street, finally catching her a block away.

Lars said "Lena, Lena, why did you run away?".

Lena said "Oh, Lars, all that talk about dynamite, then seeing how short the fuse was, I got scared"!

How many people were in Clearwater. This article claims 3000, and claims 8000 attended an 0bama event.

Good. I've been shouting abuse and hurling obscenties at the TV Media ever sinc the days of Walter Cronkite (that lying old commie). "Journalistic ethics" has become a classic oxymoron.

According to insanely biased media polls that are sampling democrats by 6 to 12 points over Republicans.
