The attack machine is not just a product of the left, seems to b e several Washington elitist repubs, some on here regretfully, are capable of it too.

[Rational Thought]

Allen caught in a blatant lie about Palin.

What a complete joke of a reporter!

[DoughtyOne]

I expect the left to be the left. What I have been completely flabbergasted at, are the Republican and even Conservative people who have bought into the left’s attempt to slander Palin for being ill informed on public policy matters.

It’s really disheartening to see people on our side who mean well, take Palin to task just like a Democrat.

[SolidWood]

Palin PING!

Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.

...

John Ziegler should be the next Press Secretary.

[Clock King]

It’s the entire Washington DC bureaucracy. The whole bunch of them are entrenched control freaks.

[HerrBlucher]

Darkness hates Sarah Palin. Its that simple. They crawl out of their caskets to vilify her, then crawl back in when the light shines on them. But it just makes her coming Presidency all that much more fun.

[JohnEBoy]

It was an amazing interview. Ziegler asked him 5 times to give on example of a “stupid interview.” Remember he said “series of stupid interviews” implying more than one, yet all he could do is repeat some mantra about how people think she can’t handle herself well, blah blah. But no example of a “stupid interview”. It makes it clear, if you say what these liberals want to hear, then they won’t be troubled by whether its true or not. That’s how Bush Derangement Syndrome came about.

[Salgak]

Send Red Sarah in to defeat Barack the Barbarian !!!!

[Danae]

Sounds pretty damned accurate.

This is the Leftist tactic, make accusations, it doesn’t matter if they are real or fake, just make them. If you tell a lie often enough people begin to think its true.

Leftists fear Sarah Palin MORE than we ever feared Obama in 2004 after his speech to the DNC. They can recognize when a star is born. The Conservatives have their role model, and she takes the feminazi’s Female argument right off the table. The Womens rights movement has to support her or abandon their premises which is to further the progression of Women in power. There are more WOMEN in America than there are ANY other subgroup of people. Democrats FEAR numbers like that, and for good reason. She may well be ... dare I say it.... “The ONE”.

Esther at the very least!

[upsdriver]

Sure, she has incredible star power as you point out. She's wanted for fundraisers. We all cover her. But Joe, I don't think she's taken seriously as a policy person. I don't think that that's the sort of circus act the Republicans are looking for. I think she'll get tons of coverage. It's hard to see her at this point being taken as a serious person

Just wondering how much of this flak Palin is taking is because she is a woman? The condescension towards Sarah by many in the media, both parties and even on this site is amazing.

[mjp]

Palin did fine in her debate against Biden. The bad economy and the lousy way McCain tried to handle it caused him to lose, not Palin

[razorback-bert]

But Joe, I don't think she's taken seriously as a policy person.

I don't want a policy wonk as President, I want someone guided by basic principles.

[RJL]

MIKE ALLEN, POLITICO: Nobody can agree on what exactly went wrong with that disastrous campaign.

Yes we can, the disaster was John McCain.

Many voters, myself included, voted for Sarah Palin, NOT John McCain. Without Sarah, it would have been a true rout.

[driftless2]

The unfortunate tendency, on both sides of the political spectrum, is too attribute things to your opponent you can’t back up with facts. It’s always better to stick with what is known, for example the flap about Obama not being an American citizen. If you can’t slam-dunk prove it, drop it. What Obama is as an American citizen is bad enough.
