Fox Dishes The Dirt On Palin

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.

I’m amazed at those at FR that still want to try to blame everything on Mitt Romney.

Rush was just playing this audio on his show. Here's what he said:

They (including McCain) are trying to destroy Palin so conservatives don't retake the party, we (convservatives) we're played, the war now is not with Obama, it's a war in the Party, moderates/rhinos vs conservatives, and Palin is the enemy, they are afraid of her. Basically, staffers are doing this for two reasons:

1) They are not conservatives
2) They need to blame somebody because they were behind the massive loss and want to get jobs in the future.

HOWEVER, and even WORSE, watch for a McCain/X Amnesty bill very quickly, McCain and some democrat will pass this in a breeze as another kick in the face. And YET EVEN WORSE the republicans are on TV saying Obama is going to govern from the Center, they haven't learned anything and are literally retards.

Rush summed it up so much better than I did just there, but he did say the attacks on Palin are even worse than he suspected, who is to gain he says? The moderates, they are trying to ruin her 2012 run trying to make her out to be fool, petty, ignorant hick. And all this is coming from our own Party, and the closest thing we have to a conservative news channel is leading the charge.

A good dose of Castor Oil will do the trick..

Thanks. I was hoping I’d get a response as to what was said before I jump too hard on Jindal. He doesn’t seem like the sort to do this, but I’ve been wrong a lot lately.

Oh, great. So NOW what am I gonna do with this brand-new bottle of battery acid, then...? ;)

Sorry, I knew when I posted that I needed a source! I believe it was in the Austin, Tx paper but unfortunately I didn’t save it. I read it to my husband but we can’t remember so I shouldn’t have said anything. I guess I’m just mad this morning. We did read that but just didn’t think to save it.

Ummmmmmmmm... "medicate" the afflicted.

Yeah. Yeah, thst's the word. "Medicate" the little dears.

Understood. Are the Austin papers reliable? Laughs, sorry, don’t answer that, because it wouldn’t change my mind : |

This election has purged me of any capacity, or desire, to believe anything the MSM says,(TV or print). They sold their souls, and I no longer bother with them.

Take care and God bless,

I have heard that some of Mitt’s people are behind some of these attacks. Don’t know how true that is yet, but I could see this happening. Mitt’s people should be afraid of Sarah.

[do the dhue]

I agree with your post.

Thanks for posting.

[thesearethetimes...]

They are ALL afraid of Sarah. Dem,and Republican alike. And with darn good reason. She has everything they do not, and cannot buy.

[P-Marlowe]

McCain.... lost the election.

End of story.

[do the dhue]

I don’t believe it also. I think it is a smear campaign to head off the Conservative in ‘12.

I saw this on another thread and thought it to be interesting:

How stupid does one have to be to believe that Sarah Palin didn’t know Africa was a continent?
1. Sarah Palin was raised by TWO school teachers.
2. Sarah Palin was a standout student in elementary and high school.
3. Sarah Palin went to 5 different colleges and has a 4 year degree. Didn’t one of those colleges teach that Africa was a continent?
4. Sarah Palin was a business owner, a mayor and a governor.
5. And finally Sarah Palin is a mom. She has one child graduated from high school, one kid about to graduate and three more that are winding their way through the school system. If you’re a parent who is even remotely interested in your kids education you would think that the fact that Africa is a continent would have come up at some point.

In his bid to ensure Hussein was elected, Mac was the first to speak out against any “rumors” regarding his opponent.

For days now, Mac’s staff have been attacking and blaming Sarah for Mac’s failures. They should be on their knees thanking and praising her for the votes she produced for there sorry arses. Ironically, unlike he would hastily do for Hussein, there is no rebuttal from Mac. This suggests Mac is behind it.

As far as my vote went, I voted for Sarah. Consequently, riding on Sarah’s coat tails, Mac got my vote. And I know I am not alone in this vote for Sarah.

I think Mac became jealous of Sarah as she stole his thunder.(Not that he ever had any.) I beleive it was Sarah, and not Mac, that got the most votes.

“This election has purged me of any capacity, or desire, to believe anything the MSM says,(TV or print). They sold their souls, and I no longer bother with them.”

I’m with ya on that! I’m already several days into my FOX News boycott due to their biased reporting and gossip sessions, and I’m doing well :).

My only reliable filter, other than my gut instinct, is Rush.

I concur. If McCain does not denounce this activity, I will view him as the one behind that one.

[TheFourthMagi]

McCain is so yesterday, and Romney is so not tomorrow.

Sarah is the present of the conservative Resistance and the future of the Republican Party.
