Sarah Palin Tells Rush Limbaugh: Sorry, MSM, I'm Not Going to Sit Down and Shut Up

Rush Limbaugh inteviewed Sarah Palin Tuesday for about 10 minutes in the 1:30 half hour. On the media front, Limbaugh noted that unlike the media, "you are the one that is holding Barack Obama to account." He said that the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times both praised how Palin is "the most dynamic and forceful" speaker of all four candidates, but they claimed her forcefulness is "driving away moderates. This is an attempt to get you to shut up."

Palin replied: "Well, yeah, they do want me to sit down and shut up. But that’s not going to happen. I care too much about this great country."

Palin also forcefully called on Obama to rein in ACORN and their "unconscionable" attempts at voter fraud. She said of the media, "There's too much ignorance, too much ignoring of his associations in the past." Limbaugh said if it weren't for the media, Obama "wouldn't be at 30 percent in the polls."

Palin aggressively went after Obama-Biden on taxes, suggesting there's a choice between a ticket to "create jobs" with tax cuts and restraining government growth, or a ticket that would "kill jobs" with tax hikes. She pressed on Obama to declare at what point, the economy is too weak to withstand his tax hike plans.

She also said her ticket was pro-growth, pro-life and pro-winning the war with the strongest military in the world, "or we could go in the complete opposite direction."

Rush asked if she was thinking about her political future after this race, and she said no, she's completely focused on November 4.

Lets see if we can put the two “attacks” in perspective:

McCain-Palin to Obama-Biden:

You are palling around with terrorist. You don’t see America as we do. You oppose keeping babies alive that are born alive. (Next week Jeremiah Wright - you heard it here first)

Obama-Biden to McCain-Palin:

You are erratic.

LOL.

Those are attacks on character and issue, not 'personal attacks'.
Erratic, old, mocking disability are personal attacks, not attacks on issues or character.

So media cooked the polls in McCain’s favor after they started talking about Ayers?

Maybe you don’t believe polls are cooked.

If so, then outside of daily statistical noise, overall trend is Obama. Even Fox, WSJ, and Zogby. Republican affiliated polls like Strategic Vision and Cervitas are showing double digit leads for Obama.

I see no benefit of talking about Ayers anywhere.

It has HURT not helped. Only one who is happy about it are the extreme-red base.

They are not enough to save GOP.

BTW, how about this for a personal attack.

Of course, the way you are going, you will probably see this is a legitimate criticism and cry to mommie that Palin accused Obama of supporting a genocidal maniac in Kenya is being mean.

I am convinced that Palin supporters are being underreported in polls that are weighted to emphasize a clueless “newly registered youth vote” while ignoring a multitude of very motivated rank-and-file Republicans, Reagan Democrats, independents, and other swing voters. People who care enough to go through major inconvenience to show up 25,000 or 30,000 strong at a rally are indicative of a grassroots phenomenon unheard of in modern political history. Anybody think they won’t show up on Nov. 4? Think they won’t bring two or three others with them? Guess again.

I hope you're right in so far as swing states are concerned. My relatives in Johnstown PA tell me that the McCain folks had to turn away over 2,000 people who already had tickets to see Sarah Palin speak this weekend. Apparently they overestimated the number of no-shows and oversold the tickets. A good sign, I hope.

Here’s who Scarlett Johansson is...

She was involved in an Obama YouTube song video “YES WE CAN”.

Does anyone need any MORE evidence that it’s a waste of breath to even respond to this Silicon latte liberal who argues for you to give him more of your money because he doesn’t have enough of his own???

Really, every single poll out there, including WSJ and Fox are cooked.

Maybe you have trouble dealing with reality.

Not real bright are you? You can't believe the polls can all be cooked even though the MSM is totally in the tank for Bozo, in other words most, 90 percent,of the news media is cooked.

The MSM pays for these polls and therefore determine what the demographics are. These polls are all way over sampled for Dems and if you would simply look at the internals you would know that.The reasons they are over sampled is easy to figure out:1.) Acorn has flooded the registrations with false dems and 2.) Some of the polls are simply in the tank for Bozo.

Now why don't you take your BS attitude and go somewhere else. There are enough trolls on here without you helping them out. McCain/Palin are winning and there is not much you can do to stop it, try as you might.

Seems like polically based rants trying to scare voters at the last minute.

Open up here a bit. I respect your opinion as a long standing conservative, but I believe you and many others are missing the point. Gov Palin is fiercely attacking the philosophy of the left in general. Obama is the proxy. To your point I believe you are correct. The attack is personal - very personal indeed. She is attacking Obama at the heart of his philosophy by questioning his associations of some loudly idealistic people. The philosophy of communism Obama shares with his cronies IS the problem and should be attacked fiercely.

Well, I guess we should just stop telling the truth. If this nation can no longer handle the truth, they deserve what they get in Obama.
I think the point The_Republican is making is that if these were such important issues, they should have been raised from the very beginning. If the accusations are true, they were true months ago. By bringing them up so late in the game — when McCain was falling seriously behind in the polls — it makes it seem to the people you are trying to sway (independants) that it's not a serious issue and is only being brought up out of desperation.

Suspension gimmick - pretty erratic.

Threatning to not show up for debate without deal and still showing up - definition of unhinged.

Going from calling him a terrorist sympathizer to he is a descent family man and you shouldn’t be afraid of him becoming a president - lurching on two ends of same issue.

Opposing AIG bailout before supporting it - unstable view on bailout package.

Bomb Iran, annihilate Korea - bizarre.

I want Lieberman, if not then Palin - those two belong on two different ends of politcal sprectum - aimlessness.

Finally, Fundamentals of Economy are strong and then 3 hours later claiming it was CRISIS - I would say that’s pretty erratic positioning.

THe MSM is going to smear Palin regardless of what happens.

She is going to be smeared as a wimpy Dan Quayle, a weak housewife in over her head, or an overly aggressive attack-dog.

There is nothing she can do about the lying MSM, so she may as well simply tell the truth about Barry Hussien Obamanation.
