Vanity: Fox News Says Palin Did Not Know Africa Was Continent, Not Country

Carl Cameron just said McCain campaign shocked to discover Sarah Palin did not realize Africa was a continent, believing instead that it was a country. She did not know the countries in NAFTA. She refused offered preparation for the Couric interview and threw temper tantrums over adverse press.

Wow. Dumping on Sarah in a big way. Shep asked how on Earth the McCain camp could have ended up picking such a dope (not exact words, but sense of what he said).

They did point out she seemed to help the polling numbers.

I knew this was going to be the template, but I was surprised at the level of nastiness on Fox News. Looks like elements of the McCain campaign is determined to make her the scapegoat for the loss. (Couldn't have been anything about the man at the top of the ticket.)

Ah yes. The RomneyBOTs on FR appear to attack Gov. Palin, and her beautiful family.

Why were they a lethal threat to Mitt Romney?
that Romney-the-Venal had to muster hate through his hive to destroy the 2008 Election for Conservatives (like you now)?

O’Reilly said it.

Thanks for correcting that. It was O'Reilly's opinion, not FOX news.

If it’s the Romney folks , good luck getting the nom in 2012, it’s not like he had any chance of getting it anyways without these attacks, so their people really have nothing to lose lol

Sarah Palin = 116 John Mccain = 122 Joseph Biden = 122 Barack Obama = 125 Cindy McCain = 120 Michele Obama = 115

Well aren't you just special. I will tell you that my IQ is 141 and I believe Sarah Palin's to be higher than that. What you posted has no actual basis in fact but is your private opinion. I have given my opinion about Sarah's IQ, and now I will give mine about yours. It is probably about 97 and that is a high side estimate.

Fox said FR is a hate site,we’re even then cause I hate Fox with a passion.

Fox did NOT say that, it was O'Reilly who just happens to work for FOX. Like it or not, FOX is the only news outlet that at least tries to present the right side along with the left. No network is without flaws, but I'll take FOX over all the rest anytime!

I heard the report on Fox as well. She appeared before staff in a bathrobe, quel horreur!

Well, thank God, they didn't try to put the final nail in the coffin by saying that her Bathrobe was from Wal-mart.

I voted for McCain in spite of Palin. In my opinion, she cost more votes than she garnered and I, for one, hope she goes back to Alaska and stays there.

I can assure you that Palin brought in more than votes - she brought in the volunteers and the cash. When you look at her 3 stops a day in the final 4 weeks of the campaign, you would've seen 5-25k in attendance every time. I saw McCain on a Monday in Kettering, OH (near Dayton) and he barely had 2k - and that was mostly school kids who got to cut class to see him (event was at a school). Then the following Wednesday, saw Palin in Chillicothe, OH (middle of nowhere) it was 35 degrees outside and I was one of the 5000 people standing outside to see her in the cold.

Volunteer numbers pre-Palin were abysmal. When Palin came along, the diehard volunteers showed up - homeschoolers, pro-lifers, and former military. See for as much as Republicans like to bash the social conservatives, they wouldn't have a party without them, as they are the fuel to the grassroots that elects Republicans all up and down the ballot.

Do you watch tv news?

No. Only when the tornado sirens start going off. (We're in OK.)

When Sarah came on the scene, it re-energized the conservative base of the party & that wasn't supposed to happen.

I'm reminded of Barack Obama's opponent in 2004; although he did deserve to lose, his nomination was designed to denigrate, rather than promote, conservatism.

Go Jindal, that’s what I say. Look, the fact that the party and the conservative movement is having this conversation about Palin shows how weak Palin is. Remember, what we need is a smart genuine conservative who can communicate to swing voters (by the way, Romney is NOT a conservative).

Let’s stop dwelling on the past, and look to the future!

Palin is not weak. She is a female Reagan.

William, you are extremely generous. Adjusted for arrogance, I make it 85.

Yes the same thing happened in CA - volunteers came in droves after Palin came along. And donations starting pouring in. Prior to Palin, NOTHING.

McCain NEVER ever attracted huge crowds - until Palin came on the scene - then crowds EXPLODED.

Thank-you... I am so livid I can't see straight!!!! They want to fire up the base....WELL THEY ARE! This is sickeining beyond words!

I totally agree. This is infuriating me. I can't believe even some Freepers are falling for this. I thought we didn't BELIEVE the media's lies?????

Does anyone know how we can contact Gov. Palin via email or snail mail?

That's really the only good shows left on Fox

I don't know, I happen to enjoy "America's Newsroom" with Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelley in the morning. I think they are able to report all the news perhaps with a lighter hand.
