Sarah Palin on "Small and Bitter" McCain Aides Trashing Her
The Weekly Standard ^ | 11/06/08 | John McCormack

Posted on 11/06/2008 4:26:17 PM PST by DocT111

Byron York, Jen Rubin, and Michelle Malkin all have smart takes on the McCain aides' smearing of Sarah Palin. The Anchorage Daily News has a couple videos of Sarah Palin talking to the press after arriving back in Alaska, and it looks like she's more than capable of defending herself, if she thought it was worth her time. Regarding the leaks against her, Palin said:

“If they’re an unnamed source, then that says it all. I won’t comment on anybody’s gossip, or allegations that are based on anonymous sources. That’s kind of a small, evidently bitter type of person who would anonymously charge something foolish like that, that I perhaps didn’t know an answer to a question.

“So until I know who was talking about it, I won’t have a comment on false allegations.”

No. YOU don’t get it.

The future is the future. Yes, Sarah is our hope. Yes.

But we have FOUR YEARS minimum, of an Obama Presidancy.

You got that?

There are bigger battles in the PRESENT to be fought.

Operation Leper Posted by: Erick Erickson Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 10:43PM CST RedState is pleased to announce it is engaging in a special project: Operation Leper. We’re tracking down all the people from the McCain campaign now whispering smears against Governor Palin to Carl Cameron and others. Michelle Malkin has the details. We intend to constantly remind the base about these people, monitor who they are working for, and, when 2012 rolls around, see which candidates hire them. Naturally then, you’ll see us go to war against those candidates. It is our expressed intention to make these few people political lepers. They’ll just have to be stuck at CBS with Katie’s failed ratings. Initial list: Nicolle Wallace Steve Schmidt Mark McKinnon excerpt http://www.redstate.com/ ----------

Freepin' Great!

Well, I’m getting more than a little sick of BOR and his acting as if he’s the center of the universe: If only McCain had gone on his show, the result might have been different .. that appearing on ‘The Factor’ helped Obama, etc.

Still, Gov Palin has to make her own defense soon or she will be permanently Quayled. And I hope Sen. McCain comes out and makes a very strong, powerful statement in her defense.

The McCain campaign staffers who did this to her should never find gainful employment again.

I understand that. However, this baliout issue coming so close to an election was not a fluke, imo. This was orchestrated. We have only to look who the players were to understand that. The House tried to stop and the Senate did an end around on them. The whole thing sucked to high heaven.

My point regarding the Supreme Court is that there is more leaverage because they cannot hide their votes, sotospeak, and there will be time to see who they are.

I didn’t say there are no bigger battles to fight..... Let’s hope that we can walk and chew gum at the same time.

All I’m saying is that this b.s. effort to smear Sarah Palin with the loss must be stopped in its tracks. It is a battle of the present FOR the future, b/c if the RINOs succeed on this one then Palin will have no national future AND anyone with similar conservative views will be smeared in the future as unelectable etc.

Defending Sarah Palin IS a critical battle for the present and future of the conservative movement.

The attempted political assassination of Sarah Palin is hardly spilled milk.

It's a deliberate tactic and not a very subtle one.

I don't agree. I think her taking Murkowski’s Senate seat is a perfect introduction to national politics and allows her to be a thorn in Obama’s side for four years.

Well, DUh!

But that has nothing to do with what we are going to have to deal with.

Are you all ignorant on purpose?

Someone that can not see the truth and urgency of what I say, has no right or intelligence to judge me.

Because I say, do not be distracted by what we have lost, be wary of what has become...blew your little mind...

She has to answer this herself. McCain can’t do it for her, and he probably won’t. He’s famous for throwing fellow conservatives under the bus. Sarah Palin must step up and defend herself or, as you so aptly put it, she will be permanently Quayled.
