Fox Dishes The Dirt On Palin
Washington Independent ^ | 11/6/08 9:25 AM | Matthew DeLong

Posted on 11/06/2008 7:52:14 AM PST by do the dhue

The effort within the McCain campaign’s upper ranks to pin Sen. John McCain’s loss of the presidential election on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is now in full swing, and Fox News’ Carl Cameron eagerly plays the gossip columnist.

On “Fox Report” last night with Shephard Smith, Cameron said he learned during the campaign that many within the McCain team were concerned that Palin “lacked the degree of knowledgeability” to be a heartbeat away from the presidency — but agreed not to report the details until the after the election.

Here is a attack from the moderates on the Conservative Palin. I stand with Palin. I didn't like the choice of McCain to begin with. I saw Conservatives should throw McCain under the bus and we should stand with Sarah. The left and the middle people in our Party like Mitt and McCain are going after her.

This is completely underhanded. She went off the reservation and was the only reason anyone came to McCain rallies to begin with. When she refused to follow the script of the moderates she spiked their support sky high.
Now they are trying to poison her for their own gain.

If this is indeed being orchestrated by the remnants of the McCain campaign, then it is truly shameful. I stand with Sarah Palin. She appears to be a true conservative and speaks honestly. McCain was a dreadful nominee, the worst of the bunch. He was “selected” for the GOP by the MSM for this very reason.

The Fox and Friends crew was outraged about this story today, as they continued to report on it! If they didn’t want it perpetuated and out there even further, they should have kept quiet.

I stand with Palin as well. She stood strong during the presidential campaign and did not compromise her principles. The same can not be said about Mc Cain as he voted for the BAIL OUT package. Our tax dollars hard a work!

There’s no question in my mind but if McCain wanted to squelch this he should have come out with a strong denial and rebuke by now. That he hasn’t suggests that he’s back to his conservative-backstabbing ways. Pitiful.

I heard Cameron go on at length about all he knew on this subject of how unhappy some of McCain’s handlers were with
Palin’s lack of knowledge on a lot of basic things. I find nothing wrong with Cameron’s reportage, or his willingness to act as a “gossip columnist”. I found it edifying , and it just underscored how insecure the McCain campaign was to NOT know what to do with Sarah, who is and was way more of a natural conservative than McCain.

“The left and the middle people in our Party like Mitt and McCain are going after her.”

Palin made a few gaffs that made me wonder. This guy Cameron reported some things that are even worse... Palin didn’t take preparation for interviews well, and for example, didn’t know Africa was a continent.

Could be trash news... or it could be a heads up. I consider it a heads up, Palin is a nice woman who will do well to stay in Alaska.

I won’t support her for a national office.

The ONLY reason we donated money to the campaign was because of Palin. I know of a few people who wished that their McCain/Palin signs had just said PALIN. McCain was the drag on the ticket.

I wouldn’t disrespect Hubby’s bus by throwing McCain under it.

He can get over the idea that HE was the one rallying the conservative base.
