Our setup here in the free USA is beginning to look more and more like tyranny.

Afraid to run for political office because of fear of unreasonable attacks on a family.

I remember the good ole days when the media reported the news. Now they manipulate it, fabricate it, choose sides and now even choose our Presidents.

Agreed. Obama never had to fear media attacks on his kids. Why should anyone? It’s disgusting.

Don’t worry, the headline is overblown, go watch the video.

interesting that Sky News, owned by News Corp, would misquote the Governor as evidenced by the tape of their interview. When asked for a possible reason why she wouldn’t enter the race, her answer was “the impact on family”, not the reported “media attack”.

When I saw this threads title, it didn’t sound right for a reason.

“Our setup here in the free USA is beginning to look more and more like tyranny.

Life imitates art at times. Sarah Palin is the real Emmanuel Goldstein in the Washington government’s ‘1984’.

And the MB “drew the largest crowds” isn’t supported by on the ground reports as well.

The media wouldn’t even mention Obama’s EARS, let alone his lack of a paper trail.

Umm... when was that specifically? Seriously? When....? The media has always known their power and have considered themselves a separate yet powerful political process. I do not know of any “good old days” with the media. Only ignorant days the public did not realize their undermining stench.

Sarah will run, she’s a gutsy lady and she knows what to expect. Gather the family and tell them what’s going to happen, stay close to eachother, and damn the torpedoes.

We are all being attackes and we can take it. Full steam ahead. WE HAVE YOUR BACK SARAH!

They would love to make Sarah look afraid of the media. They know she’s not. But in today’s politics the hatred from the left is so vitriolic there certainly is a safety factor.

There is also Todd Palin’s statement that “this is the life we have chosen” further saying that “this family has been tested”.

Yeah. The only one mentioning the 'media' is in fact - the media. She never used the word.

*Since when is *impact* on her family, *FEAR*? Only in the lamestream and PDSer minds!

Of course her concerns are still with her family. The press is vile and I'll never forget the slanderous treatment she receives and still receives, but to try to make her cowardly, is really just another, bashing and gives the press more power than she would EVER permit. Outrageous and a new angle and low, even for the lamestream *across the pond* trying for a scoop in Iowa!

Todd said today, that their family has been vetted, which was an understatement!

GAME ON!


POSITIVELY PALIN

2012

You'll recall that Maureen Dowd did mention his ears and was promptly called on the carpet by O’Zero himself to never do that again.

That $1 Million plus a year paycheck she keeps cashing must really drive ‘em nutz. Fox News colleagues have been ourtright dismissive and snarky about her, save for Sean Hannity and Greta.

Sarah never mentioned "fear." That was the reporter's concoction. Sarah said, "Concern over the impact of attacks on my family. If you haven't been through what we've been through, you just can't understand."

Very different from "fear." She's walking around the Iowa State Fair in a T-shirt, for crying out loud... the woman fears nothing.
