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.)

It will be sometime before I watch Fox News again.
They really show where they stand. Shep Smith is such a low life.

Palin was the better half of the McCain/Palin ticket.

Using unidentified sources to push dubious and damaging claims like this in a national newscast then chatting back and forth about it did seem nasty and tabloid-ish to me. And I don’t think Sarah Palin got to be governor of Alaska without knowing Africa was a continent, not a country.

Well if true she didn’t know Africa is a continent- what is the problem? The man who was actually elected thinks we have 57 states.

As for prep for the Katie interview- I thought Sarah did better before the McCain campaign started messing with her.

“Romney ran the most incompetent campaign of 2008”

Second most incompetent campaign, First would be Giuliani( I am not a supporter. I like it here, I don’t want to be banned)

Another example of a great graphic, ruined by misspelling. I can’t forward this to anyone. Why is it that the people who make these graphics all went to govermint skools?

Originally, I liked Romney, then I didn’t then I did again.
I’m starting to not like him again.

I get the sense that Romney is what you would get if Richard Nixon was under the table with his hand up Guy Smiley...

First of all, let’s be frank, guys. It took Nixon 8 years to rehabilitate himself and win the Presidency in 1968 after losing in 1960. She’s a great inspiration to the party, but she had her shot and blew it. And no doubt McCain is to blame for this as well since he’s the presidential nominee, but Palin’s responsible for Palin, so she should be held accountable for her performance.

We need a candidate in 2012 who can easily match Obama’s intellect, who’s unabashedly conservative in deed and rhetoric, and who can COMMUNICATE a conservative vision effectively (unlike the current President or our current presidential nominee). That person is Bobby Jindal! Jindal-Daniels 2012! (that’s right, Mitch Daniels would make a perfect VP, especially Indiana is suddently a swing state).

Palin could well be the future!

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

It's not the first time a conservative is targeted by the MSM employees and the Republican Party "elite" -- just imagine what the Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) is planning.

Nelson Rockefeller told his staff that, in the words of his public relations head, Stuart Spencer, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."

"Ha! Ha! and she spells Africa, Potatoe. Ha! Ha!"

Surprise. Surprise. MORE ATTACKS FROM ROMNEY's PEOPLE
Mountain Meadow Massacre of Gov. Palin Continues

"Take a look at Carl Cameron’s latest post on the Fox News website,
in which he acknowledges Mitt’s Florida surge and praises Mitt’s campaign."

Carl Cameron tells the world for Romney he is suspending campaign

Romney to give “Mormon Speech” by Carl Cameron

Hey, Mitt Romney> Why attack Gov. Palin and her children? What was gained?
Was it worth it to ruin the United States of America for another run?

The moderate losers aren’t even man enough to take responsibility for getting their clocks cleaned. They have to take it out on the woman that almost pulled their collective liberal arses out of the fire.

The only good thing McLame did during his campaign was pick Governor Palin to be The Vice Presidential Candidate! McLame was too stupid to know to look into the TV Camera and talk to the Americans during the Debates and McLame never fiured out he was running as The REPUBLICAN Candidate and NOT as a CENTRIST DEMORAT!!

NUFF SAID!!
