The McCain Campaign’s Classless Cowards (already attempting to blame Sarah for their loss!!!)
MichelleMalkin.com ^ | 11/05/08 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 11/05/2008 8:22:28 PM PST by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle

The anonymous trashing of Sarah Palin by blabbermouth McCain aides who are leaking to Fox News is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

Allah’s got the vid clip of a report citing unnamed McCain staffers accusing Palin of lacking, in Carl Cameron’s words, “knowledgeability.”

At least all the Hollywood and Manhattan Palin-haters were willing to sign their names and put their faces on their attacks.

Let’s assume the rumor-mongers are telling the truth for a moment. Who does it damn more: Sarah Palin or McCain and his vetters who green-lighted her for the vice presidential nomination? Don’t need an Ivy League degree to figure that one out.

Sarah Palin worked her heart out. She energized tens of thousands to come out who would have otherwise stayed home. She touched countless families. I didn’t agree with everything she said on the campaign trail. But two fundamental conservative stands she took mattered greatly to me: She vigorously defended the Second Amendment and the sanctity of life more eloquently in practice than any of the educated conservative aristocracy.

And she did it all with a tirelessness and infectious optimism that defied the shameless, bottomless attempts by elites in both parties to bring her and her family down.

Shame on the smearers who don’t have the balls to show their faces.

Thank you, Sarah Palin. Thank you for stepping up the plate and serving your country.

***

More: Ace of Spades is %^&* spitting mad:

Here’s a story these staffers tell: Sent to collect Palin from a hotel, she greeted them, straight from the shower (running late, I guess ) dressed (scandal!) only in a bathrobe (presumably a very thick hotel bathrobe).

These staffers called that “uncommon” — Cameron delighted in the word to give it the sound of “whorish, unprofessional.”

Heh, assholes? She had to open the door and had just gotten out of the shower. Did you want her to use her magical powers of telekinesis to open the door for you?

So is RedState, which announces an accountability project.

I saw Carl Cameron give that report. I didn't get the point of the shower story at all. Ivy Leaguers don't take showers?

The only thing that ran through my head was "Stacey's Mom has got it going on..." But I might not be the target audience for the anecdote.

We will probably start seeing allot of this in the coming days and weeks.

The ‘Drive Bys’ and RINOS need to find a way to get McCain back into the fold in DC. They will do this by scapegoating Palin on many fronts, and create a narrative that she was the reason McCain lost. McCain will give it all token rejection, but won’t totally shoot it down.

Count on it!

(I posted all of this in an earlier thread)

Boy two of your comments rang SO true with me:

1) If you’re gonna say it, have the balls to say it with your face on it (my paraphrase of your words) and;

2) “Let’s assume the rumor-mongers are telling the truth for a moment. Who does it damn more: Sarah Palin or McCain and his vetters who green-lighted her for the vice presidential nomination? Don’t need an Ivy League degree to figure that one out.”

EXACTLY on #2! Hey, you invited her to the party. I doubt she said she was anyone other than who she was, you picked her. You don’t like it, that’s on you.

Nice post Kent.

...same people want “gangs”, like the gang of fourteen, or the gang of seven. People who knuckle under and compromise a position,always weakening,always giving in to....and here's the phrase we're all familiar with, “to get things done”, like the last two years with immigration,oil,fanny,freddie,....you know all the things they work so hard at......

I too am disgusted. DISGUSTED.

It may be time to change my party registration if this is the best “we” can do. I will go beyond not funding this party. PUMA’S, make room.

I have to say, in all honesty, I was extremely disappointed in the Palin pick when I heard it. Having said that, I not only think she performed quite well on the campaign trail, and at times extremely well, but the energy she brought was infectious and badly needed. I fear that without her, it would have been an absolute bloodbath. I think many congressmen and senators may owe their seats to Palin’s ability to GOTV.

Right On! I couldn’t have said it better. By the way the one who defended Sarah Palin was fired by the dimwit in charge of the campaign!

That’s one of the biggest silver linings I’ve found in all of this. If they had won, she would have been tainted by him. He gave her a national platform and now she can fly!

I will be keeping track of all those who blame her. When George Bush was first elected, he often made reference to choosing which side you wanted to be on. His many critics revealed who was against him. Sarah has brough out another level of those same people. As Rush said today, get their names so we can get rid of them!

Carl Cameron started this rumor about Sarah tonight on Fox, Shep Smith’s show. Carl reported rather blandly that some from the campaign say she didn’t know Africa was a continent and that she didn’t know who was in Nafta.
Cameron went on O’Reilly and was giddy to report the above and add even more rumor from the campaign. He gave a for instance, Sarah opened the door of her hotel room in a bathrobe after a shower!!!
Greta’s show picked it up at 10:00p.m. Greta was furious with this rumor crap and made a big deal of the fact that this rumor stuff was outrageous and that it was totally unfair to report such rumors particularly since Greta had gone to Alaska, interviewed a lot of people and found that Sarah was extremely competent.
Carl Cameron may have a book he is writing and that is why he is so giddy about his heard rumors.

I could not agree more. She has class, and showed it every single time. Far more forthright than any politician since Reagan. Acording to Obama latest flop, he’s in support of our 2nd ammendment rights. Sara Palin - if she was against something, had the integrity, fortitude, and brass you know whats to have at least been honest. and I understand her for playing politics (visa vie global warming), I’ts not her fault most people are stupid. She did what she had to do.

I just wrote Gov. Palin a thank you note. I told her that not many people could do what she did; get thrusted into the national spotlight and hit the ground running in a fast pace campaign.

IMO, if Sarah did get frustrated, it was likely becuase of the lame strategies and tactics that McCain used. Sarah is a fighter. McCain is not.

The only reason why the MSM and libs are going after her now is that they are scared to death of her. That’s why.

John Mcamnesty hired losers for his campaign staff.

Losers from Bob Dole 96.

I would have found someone else to vote for if it were not for Sarah.

Get a clue !

I will commend McCain for putting Sarah on the ticket. Without his enthusiasm for her, we would not be talking about Sarah right now and would not be looking forward to 2012. John, I don’t blame you for losing the election, during the campaign. You lost it when you didn’t vote against the bailout. You shot your crediblity as a maverick with many conservatives and independents. They either voted for Obama or did not vote.

Are these the same idiots who supposedly “confirmed” a report that a “gullible” Sarah was punk’d by a radio DJ from Canada in the last few days of the campaign?

I guess that story got a lot of play on MSLSD, and I heard about it at work, but nowhere else. As I told my co-worker, Sarah was doing marathon campaign stops with very little time for interviews in the last few days of the campaign. When would she have time for a radio interview WITH A DJ IN CANADA, SINCE SHE’S TRYING TO GET ELECTED IN THE U.S.????? And how did the guy get her number? My co-worker didn’t have an answer for that.

There is rumor around the internet that Romney and his guys are behind a lot of the Palin bashing right now.

The McWhacked chattering class are jealous. They lost, and they know in a sense, Palin won. She propped up the ridiculous Democrat-lite McNutt campaign, and now McInsane and they as well, are toast.

Meanwhile, Palin is a national figure and leader of the National Republican party if she wants to be. They know it, and they are jealous. The McCain chattering class can chatter away. Ignore them. No one cares, and they soon will fade away, but Palin will not fade.
