Palin Cheap-Shots a Good Reporter
American Spectator Blog ^ | 08/15/11 | Quin Hillyer

Posted on 08/16/2011 5:55:33 PM PDT by TomServo

The press corps has a mild buzz going about a weekend contretemps ginned up, for publicity's sake, by Sarah Palin's camp, in her ongoing campaign to show how badly she is victimized by the media. The odd thing is that she has been victimized by the media, horribly so, and many of us (myself included, in several posts after the Gabby Giffords shooting) have rushed to her defense -- so she doesn't need to gin up controversies out of thin air. But that's exactly what she and her team did this past weekend.

You are very funny, Norm.

You are also full of it.

I am not the one doing the slobbering. That would be you.

Have a lovely evening.

Palin didn't personally call the reporter - - she had an aide dial the number and hand her the freaking phone so she could challenge some reporter over basically a nothing story? ...In the middle of a noisy crowd at a state fair, where she had to speak loudly in order to be heard?? ...And then when she realized she had made a mistake, asked an aide to call back to apologize???

Wow.. Sorry. That is lame.

I like Sarah and look forward to voting for her, but man, she needs to get her head straight.

Palin's balloon will always fly in the majestic heights of the stratosphere among the radiant light of her extremely loyal supporters. As far as the rest of America goes, the Palin zeppelin crashed and burned a long time ago.

How very patrician of you to speak for the rest of America. Your statistics don't mean anything this early in the race, and if you think they do, then you're a royal idiot.

Hmmm... That may explain a few things.

I’m not trying to be funny Lindy? I asked questions to better understand why you post all manner of snide and disparaging remarks about Palin as your posting history shows, act catty toward her and her family and supporters and just generally don’t contribute anything positive on a site the boss calls “Palin Country” and has 87% of the members being Palin supporters?

What’s funny about that?

“Wow, that is the lamest article I’ve ever seen.”

Shouldn’t be surprising, though. Quin Hillyer has a history of taking cheap shots at the conservative ladies.

I’d said that I was locked in already and didn’t ‘need’ to see it, (I’m going to buy it regardless) but I hear from many that it’s filled with a lot of ‘new’ info that even long time supporters missed.

Very much looking forward to it.

Because it would defeat the purpose of posting this pile of crap in the first place which is to smear Governor Palin.

I have to admit - I do like the way she screws with the media. A few candidates could learn from her within this respect. They don't know they're in a shell game. It's kind of funny.

I gotta be honest. If there are people on this site left that think that by posting Palin hit pieces that they are doing anything but making her support even greater, they are mistaken.

That said, if the hit pieces are in context... that is to say, if they are posted so we can see what’s brewing in leftie-land, that IMO is a good thing.

FWIW

Thanks for that. It’s nice that there are still a few people like McCain out there. That may not always be the case.

Dude! Please specify which McCain you're talking about, especially when saying something complimentary and especially in a story about Palin. You just about gave me a heart attack there!

It sure isn’t going to make one supporter change their mind , that’s for sure. You’re right, it does keep us up to snuff on what the scum left and Rove Republican scum wing on the right are up to. I wouldn’t mind reading the hit pieces without the local roaches adding commentary, though it is amusing sometimes to watch some of these nuts act like asses. Then again,maybe they aren’t acting.
