New York Times Barbie strikes again (Maureen Dowd's attack on Governor Sarah Palin)
The Washington Times ^ | July 6, 2009 | Andrew Breitbart

Posted on 07/05/2009 11:46:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

What a shock that Maureen Dowd devoted her New York Times column Sunday to attack Sarah Palin. It did not so much criticize Alaska's governor for prematurely stepping down from her official duties as to finish off what sister snipers Katie Couric and Tina Fey began last fall.

The assassination of Sarah Palin - by media.

For those who didn't pay attention, Mrs. Palin's unexpected stratospheric rise as a national political figure threatened the media's preordained presidency of Barack Obama.

In light of how the Obama machine took down Hillary Clinton, which unsettled many feminists who believed 2008 was their time, many who saw sexism at play - the destruction of an ascendant Republican female icon was an urgent imperative for the Democratic Party.

In conjunction with the laws of political correctness as perfected by the Democratic Media Complex, it would take prominent women to take down an unlikely and unexpected conservative feminist symbol that threatened to steal away Mrs. Clinton's votes from the Chosen One.

While the vanquished then-senator from New York conspicuously removed herself from this task - going so far as praising Sen. John McCain's running mate as "a very composed and effective debater" - a trio of media partisans, each with a unique skill set, rose to the task of tearing down Sarah Palin.

Misses Dowd, Couric and Fey - Obama's Angels (featuring Joy Behar in the role of "Bosley") - used a potent mix of mockery, snobbery and vitriol to undermine Mrs. Palin's feminist bona fides.

They are what my wife calls "pad throwers," an allusion to the shower room scene in the Stephen King film "Carrie," in which the popular girls throw sanitary napkins and tampons at the film's namesake.(continued at link)

Maureen Dowd? The name’s familiar. Did she date Michael Douglas at one time? How did that turn out?

The only way NYSlimes can gain a little cash these days is to publish hate against Sarah Palin and the more the level of hate, the more cash they get.

I want Maureen Dowd, I mean Baghdad Boob, somewhere on camera when 40,000,000 angry voters are in the streets, tying up phone lines and the internet, with calls for “Sarah!”, “Sarah!”.

My two knee jerk reactions are:

#1 - What left wing blog site did Dowd steal this from?

And

#2 - it’s so cute that Dowd and her New York Times are still trying to act like they’re a serious media outlet.

Course, my third knee jerk reaction was: it’s the New York Times. If it wasn’t reported in other places no one would even have noticed this...

Let’s all trash Maureen Dowd’s family and see if she can take it. Oh, maybe Maureen doesn’t have a family to trash! So let’s trash her the way she & others have trashed Sarah Palin!

Do you think Dowd could handle half of what has been thrown at the Palins? HELL NO! And neither could any of the other so called reporters, analysts, commentators, etc.!

Payback is hell and one day these jerks are going to find that out! We need to start investigating the families and friends of these know-it-alls and putting all their dirty laundry in PRINT! Or, we could do what they do and just MAKE IT UP!

She is no Barbie. She just wishes.

It took a lot of makeup and retouching for this.

Ugly Hag

Behar even criticized Palin for wearing glasses. I couldn't believe it. What a bitch!

Has anyone noticed that Moron Dowd is starting to take on the appearance of a witch.

She is really loosing her looks fast, guess it's all that jumping in and out of bed with any and every one that is causing her skim to wrinkle.

Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet is the manager of an optical shop for a Fortune 100 company. She is still getting requests for "Sarah Palin" style glasses eight months after the election!

I think that's great. My daughter wears her glasses far more than her contacts now. I don't dare ask if Palin has anything to do with it. I also wear glasses and can tell you when anti-Joy said what she did it burned my backside. She seems to think everyone should wear contacts.

She's only 57. She also seems to be single. Maybe all she needs is a good conservative husband to straighten her out. Who knows, maybe she'll hook up with Rush Limbaugh.

And Mrs. Palin during the Letterman saga finally cried, “Enough!” You damn right she did. And she did good. She won. She bravely and noblely defended her honor and her childrens' honor as she stood up to the media. Letterman and all his fellow “comedians” have not mentioned Palin since. She showed the deballed, pussified, worthless GOP what they should have been doing for the last 8 years instead of hiding, tip-toeing around and apologizing for living as the feckless wimps karlrove, georgewbush, mittromney, mikehucksterbee et al have done. She showed what to do during that perfect, complete, masterful performance with Matt Lauer on the Today Show.

It sure is rich for karl-effing-rove, the worst presidential advisor in the entire history of the U.S. Presidency, to lecture/criticize Sarah Palin on her decision. This is the asshat that allowed the Bush WH to be destroyed by the media from July 2003(NBC News-16 words clipped to 10-plame-wilson) forward and allowed scott McClellan to stay for 3 years as WH press sec., allowing the media to slander/libel the honorable Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby et al. NEVER FIGHTING BACK. I CURSE HIM FOR THAT. He deserves scorn for the rest of his life. He hired and allowed dan bartlett, nicole”Palin-slanderer”devinish-wallace, steve schMITTROMNEY et al to be the voice of the Bush WH. I have daydreams of confronting him on the street, in a restaurant, and letting him know what I think.

Palin will soon be out of Public Service. The MSM knows this, and that is
why they are lying their asses off and going after her.


The MSM knows that once she is out of the Public, she's private.
That means any Lie, Tale, or attack isn't protected by the Constitution
towards a public servant. It will be Slander pure and simple.

I hope Palin sues them all..
