Her VP nomination acceptance speech was amazing, energizing and excited millions. She was sharp, wholesome, down to earth, boldly conservative and beautiful. Then, the liberal media, blatantly committed to getting Obama elected, set out to destroy her. “Sarah Palin is stupid” was their mantra. Every late night talk show host, biased liberal TV interviewer, biased liberal newspaper reporter and democrat talking head united to create the paradigm, “Palin is an idiot”.
Suddenly, every word out of Sarah's mouth was under severe scrutiny. Who could survive such a tsunami of attacks on their intellect? Meanwhile, Obama saying the US has 57 states barely drew a mention.
Even the National Organization for Women did not defend Palin. Her Conservative traditional values do not fit their liberal agenda. Palin chose to have her Down Syndrome baby rather than abort it. Sarah proved that a woman can have a thriving family and successful career. She loves and respects her husband without feeling subservient to him. All this rubs the NOW gang the wrong way. But what REALLY ticks them off, Sarah Palin is pretty.
What liberals did to this great woman was vicious and mean. And yet, liberals are perceived as the advocates of women and minorities. Here is the reality. If you're black and become a U.S. Supreme Court Justice via education and hard work rather than Affirmative Action, liberals try to destroy you. If you're a strong woman running for Vice President of the United States, they seek to destroy you for not subscribing to their left ideology.
When will folks “GET IT!” Liberals don't give a hoot about women or minorities. They only worship at the feet of their gods which are Power and Control.

Great read.
It is to bad that there are those on FR who trash Gov Palin.
I still have my girl crush.
Palin 2012
This is not about destroying her financially, but politically.
GREAT job! Maybe you should send that off to the Wall Street Opinion Journal. Seen the video where the guys asks Obama supporters who controls congress (they all thought Republicans do) and who said there are 57 states (they all thought it must have been Sarah Palin)?
WTF does that mean?
It means: Obama’s socialist policies are going to destroy millions of jobs in the private sector, which he will try to “fix” by creating millions of “gummint” jobs. Since “gummint” jobs are really just another huge waste of resources, it will drive the “crisis” even farther into a hole, giving him the “excuse” to ignore all those pesky Constitutional restraints.
I think I found a new bumper sticker.
No one ever went broke or lost an election by underestimating the stupidity of the Sheep.
In the minds of The Sheep, Palin is damaged goods. Come 2012, the attacks this year will be the ONLY thing on their wee little minds.
Because their goal is to destroy her, dear. Every word she says during these interviews will be mercilessly parsed until it’s twisted like a corkscrew in a tornado, and then used against her.
“Barack Obama says he will create millions of jobs”
Then Obama said: “We are in a historic crisis”
WTF does that mean?”
It means hold on to your pants because even those don’t belong to you anymore.
Oh, I have no doubt he will create millions of jobs. Sugar cane fields anyone?
Just like Rush..the media didn’t create her and the media can’t distroy her. If she choses to run..she will get my vote in the primary. If the GOP doesn’t support her..then my non-contributing status will continue.
We will see who the party elects as chairman, but if it is a RINO..I think it is time for a Conservative Party.
It is obvious that those who are constantly paying lip service to the ideas of self-sufficiency and independence for the allegedly downtrodden want those whom they purport to represent to remain helpless victims, dependent on their intercession for concessions from the State, rather than stand on their own two feet and break free of their would-be overseers.
The latter would render the Liberal panderers moot, and such a fall from celebrity, power, and glory (not to mention income) would be unacceptable for them.
But, he can do it with youth and charisma! And, a little white powder around his nose.
Thank you, Lloyd. I ‘got’ Feminism ten years ago. I went to college in the late 60’s-early 70’s so was indoctrinated into Feminism as the norm. With the complete blind eye that the national Feminists turned toward Slick Willie I understood that only a Liberal woman was a true woman to the Feminists. Especially when I heard Anita Hill say ‘well, you really have to consider his voting record’ when asked about whether or not Clinton should be held accountable. Ruining Palin for this election was a necessity for the Left, Big Media (redundant) and anyone else threatened by her presence. Sad. We must get more Conservatives into the national media. The two interviews she did were sliced and diced to only show the brief weaknesses of Palin. In contrast NOTHING was ever shown about the weaknesses of 0bama. The country has spoken for now. Hopefully he can’t do too much damage before the off year election and we have a chance to get more parity in Congress.
I beg to differ, sir. In 1984, President Reagan was old, out of touch and stupid. I remember the "He uses Grecian Formula" to hide all the gray in his hair accusations. He dealt with this like a true champ, looking down so the cameras got a good shot of his hair, and said "No roots!" (or something to that effect).
But they did defend Bill Clinton.
Women's rights and equal opportunity are not their goals. Continued abortion on demand is their goal.
using alaska geographic proximity to russia and canada as foreign policy experience is pretty stupid
but Obama saying his running for president as qualifier for having executive experience is pretty stupid as well
for every mistake palin did, obama has done the same thing. Obama mistakes just aren’t highlighted and ridiculed repeatively
All hail, "Dithering Barry" .
