*I* find it stunning to find that CNN and Campbell Brown have become the purveyors of truth and fairness, and Fox News, Carl Cameron and Bill O'Reilly have become the smear merchants and bomb throwers.

Watch the video - she really sticks it to them, and comes very close to naming names. Whoever these people are, and I think their names will become known publicly, may they NEVER work in politics again.

And I'm still waiting, Senator McCain, for you, with your well-known code of honor, to step up and give us a little straight talk about what's going on here.

McCain may very well have had the worst campaign staff in history and they seem determined to make sure everybody knows it now.

If Palin were a rat McCain would be on every station defending her, but alas, Sarah is a true conservative.

I was pulling for McCain because I despise socialists, but this failure to defend Sarah is aggravating me.

I don’t get McCain at all. Does he no longer have a sense of honor?

I will forever support Sarah Palin. She is the reason I was enthused this campaign and she is the reason I will vote for her in 2012

McPain needs to look in his mirror for reasons he lost. He will see himself and those behind him. Not Gov Sarah Palin standing next to him. She was the one that got the conservative vote. GOP needs to see who brung em to this dance or just get the word “LOSERS” engraved in stone on their HQ’s !

McCain’s back to throwing conservatives under the bus and sucking up to left-liberal Democrats.

Surprise, surprise. And how’d all of that goodwill built up with moderates, independents, and the media turn out, Johnny Mac?

The "Palin hard-sell" did not fail, oh self-important CNN feeb. What failed was an utterly incompetent and maddeningly blind campaign staff. Who's brilliant idea was it to have a woman who failed so miserably at being a CEO then be in charge of the Republican campaign???

Sarah could have won this election single-handedly, minus the handlers and muzzle.

This is utter idiocy: "Yes, Sarah drew tens of thousands to her every where she went, but she's the one who screwed everything up. We had our yawning, tepid support well in hand before she came along. *snif*"

Total buffoons, all.

If these “unnamed sources” want to know who lost the election, they need only look in a mirror. And these are the kinds of people McCain would have staffed the White House with.

They are just covering their butts so they won't have a rough time finding work.

The only good point of the McCain/Palin ticket was Palin.

My husband works the polls. Many people told him they were voting for Palin. They did not like McCain at all.

This is everything but a purveyance of truth. She just used speculation from aides that we have no idea whether they exist or not, said anything or did not.

Brown is just a hack trying to pile on Palin and the McCain campaign. Where was all her indignation before now? She is trying to use Palin to prove McCain was not competent.

There’s nothing shocking about it, she’s helping fan the infighting flames. It benefits the Dems, that’s why she’s doing it, and she gets to make like she’s sticking up for the woman she once questioned in the most sexist manner possible (by questioning her motherly ability).

FOX and Cameron were only passing on news--what had been leaked to them. They're not the issue.

The issue, as Limbaugh pointed out, are these country club Republicans.

There was no way a Republican was going to win this year because of the unpopularity of President Bush, and the economy. McCain came close...AFTER he picked Palin. Coincidence? I think not.

But McCain was too interested in having the spotlight on himself. His grandstanding "suspending my campaign" thing was as much about getting attention away from PALIN as from Obama. As soon as it came over the radio, I said, "Oh, you just blew it, man." I could FEEL any confidence I had in this cruddy candidate drain away.

And now he will crawl back to the senate with the prize he REALLY wants--the love of democrats and Chrissy Matthews. I suspect he'll pout and run as an independent like his wished-for VP pick Joe Lieberman when it's time for his re-election bid.

While McCain is a great American, he's a crappy Republican...and unfortunately, there are a lot more just like him at the country club.

If even half of what you say now is true, then boy, did you try to sell the American people a bill of goods. If Sarah Palin is the reason some voters chose Barack Obama, that is no one's fault but your own.

Truth and fairness from Campell Brown?

Hardly-read into it.

She's ripping into the leakers as as she's ripping Sarah.

No bias no bull my ass-Campell Brown can f' off.

No problemo here.

We all know the a**holes MaCaca chose to help him get elected. It's Ironic that they expected a 'little' woman to LIFT this weasel to victory. Imagine that!... The weasel could not lift his own weight... If she had not come along he would have disappeared from the picture long ago.

She was the ONLY positive thing that came out of that bunch.

She is a class act. Needs more international exposure and she will be ready to be president. She is AUTHENTIC in as much as can be expected from a politician.

I thought McCain showed great judgment in picking Palin.

It seems that he showed zero judgment in picking his staff.

Someone else may have mentioned this, but on the 6th Rush stated that, “By this point the McCain team had spent more time trashing Governor Palin than they have spent trashing Obama over the last two years.”

McCain himself has defended Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and the entire Democrat party. All I hear right now is crickets.

McCain either has control of his team or he doesn’t. He either approves of what they are doing or he doesn’t. Either way, what is taking place right now is proof positive that McCain neither has the character to lead, or the skills to lead. He can’t even keep his team under control, unless of course they are doing just what he wants them to.

Look up “The Leper Project”.

A lot of people are paying attention to this, and are taking names.

Palin is the future of the Republican Party, and there is a faction that Does Not Like This.

They are trying anything they can to bury her post-campaign.

I find it disgusting to see the same people who lauded her turn on her. That I expect from her enemies. But from the people who were supposed friends? Let's out em and see to it they never work in Republican Party politics again!

As I said earlier; Sarah Palin has struck fear into everyone. First she had to handle the onslaught form the Obama machine icw the MSM. After they ran over her; McCains team picked her up to throw her under the bus again and again. Senator McCain - Your Silence is Deafening. Obviously, everyone wants her to go back to Alaska and never even think of returning to the lower 48.
She gave me the impression that she believes in our conservative principles. A little more time on the national stage and she will be able to articulate our principles even better. That is the fear that she has stirred up. She attracted more people to rallies than McCain and everyone took notice. Why do you think the attacks on her are personal? Her principles are sound, nobody will challenge her on a conservative stance. I am truly sick of watching this party constantly shooting itself in the foot, to save someone’s butt..We should rise above this type of stuff.
