Vanity: Fox News Says Palin Did Not Know Africa Was Continent, Not Country

Carl Cameron just said McCain campaign shocked to discover Sarah Palin did not realize Africa was a continent, believing instead that it was a country. She did not know the countries in NAFTA. She refused offered preparation for the Couric interview and threw temper tantrums over adverse press.

Wow. Dumping on Sarah in a big way. Shep asked how on Earth the McCain camp could have ended up picking such a dope (not exact words, but sense of what he said).

They did point out she seemed to help the polling numbers.

I knew this was going to be the template, but I was surprised at the level of nastiness on Fox News. Looks like elements of the McCain campaign is determined to make her the scapegoat for the loss. (Couldn't have been anything about the man at the top of the ticket.)

This is quite common treatment for females

Ain't that the truth. Conservatives often want to laugh off all forms of discrimination, but sexism is alive and well. And of course it is rampant on the left. My sister was talking to a guy who called Sarah a "stupid b*****" but that he would "F**** her because she was hot." My sister asked him how he could say she was stupid, after she was a popular governor of a state, and he was a loser drunk who had been sitting in a bar all afternoon. But that's how the left treats successful women. Women who don't play by their rules.

I wonder if Shep knows what sorts of things are said about him on FR? Wonder if he would consider that a news story that FOX should cover!

Let’s talk about things that matter Shep/FOX! Like the fact that BO says he didn’t know his friend was a terrorist, or that his pastor was a racist, or that his wife hates America.

Not to mention the fact that he doesn’t want to offend other countries by placing his hand over his heart during the POA or the National Anthem.

And what about the fact that BO campaigned for a man that encouraged his followers to engage in genocide because he wasn’t happy about his election results.

Never mind, I can certainly see how calling Africa a country instead of a continent should be a concern to us all, not to mention what Gov. Palin wears. So let’s not bother with mundane things such as BO’s marxist plans for this country.

How about engaging in some factual news coverage and not inane gossip!

FOX will continue this stuff as long as the viewer puts up with it. I’m outraged and no longer will watch!

BOR is promising a story from Cameron on why the McCain campaign “put Sarah Palin on ice.”

Daniels is a big a$$ed RINO. He only got elected again because his opposition stunk.

So forget him and don’t try to act like you know something you know nothing about.

Daniels is the reason Conservatives here in Indiana got dumped in 2006.

You peddle BS, College grads are indoctrinated. I mean they are really stupid. Many of them have trouble reading and writing.

Yeah, it is really a fact.

Hey I like Jindal, but was not impressed with the few interviews i saw with him. He shuddered a lot and did not put any brilliant thoughts together. I like Sarah.

Sarah Palin did not realize Africa was a continent, believing instead that it was a country.

We're supposed to believe this why?

Exactly. This is a preposterous claim.

If you try doing a google search for the phrase "think Africa is a country" OR "believe Africa is a country" and you will get HUNDREDS of hits -- but none of the hits (yet) mention Sarah Palin.

It's a canard used by elitists and America-haters to try to show that Americans in general are moronic.

This meme been dredged up from somebody's malicious imagination to try to damage Palin.

I know that I am going to get flamed for this, but my estimates of the Candidates IQs are this:

Sarah Palin = 116
John Mccain = 122
Joseph Biden = 122
Barack Obama = 125

Cindy McCain = 120
Michele Obama = 115

Note to RNC:

A real conservative in 2012 or I’m out.

Consider yourself on notice.

Note to Palin:

Get yourself some hardball insiders or you will be attacked without pause. The campaign starts now...

Exploratory committee
Supporting 2010 GOP candidates
Raising money/PAC to garner support from candidates
etc etc.
Speaking engagements GOPAC, NRA, PROLIFE, VETS, Amer.Conservative Union etc

The Groundwork has to be laid starting right now
