Check out this video of Carl Cameron on the O'Reilly Show spreading the most vicious lies on Sarah Palin from the romneybots like he was a giddy school girl.
I'm simply stunned FOX would all this garbage on the air.
I would like to send Sarah Palin an email of support but have no idea how to do it. Would anyone who knows please send me a private message? I don’t want her address out there for all the ugly monsters to avail themselves of.
I see it differently. I don’t think the Cameron attack was spawned by the lib Dummies. In my opinion, McCain’s campaign organization was an all around mess - ineffective novices that couldn’t seem to work as a team to get their man elected. McCain’s campaign was in the toilet and he would have suffered a humiliating defeat had it not been for Palin’s appeal to the conservative base of the GOP. Problem was, some of McCain’s people were front men for Lieberman, Romney, and Pawlenty. They were livid that this outsider got the nod. They may not have overtly tried to sabotage the woman, but they didn’t help her, either. Palin could have been booked for interviews with a whole host of friendly interviewers - O’Reilly, Hannity, Rush, etc., but the campaign declined those invitations and threw her to the wolves (Gibson and Couric) instead. If anyone should be thrown under the bus, it’s these awful people and John McCain, himself, for not being able to manage his own campaign staff. Maybe it’s just as well he didn’t get elected.
I still have never forgiven fox for what they did for Fred Thompson during the primaries.
“Maybe it’s just as well he didn’t get elected.”
You may not be saying that if the “Fairness Doctrine” kicks in high to gear, or when Obama nationalizes everything.
I would agree with you. McCain’s handlers were either inept or intentional in their effort to limit Palin’s exposure in the conservative arena. There simply is no reason she couldn’t appear on more conservative programs. If Gov. Palin could make an appearance on SNL, she surely should have held interviews with Rush and the like.
Concerning McCain’s culpability in this, the RINO’s are partly to blame.
O’Reilly is an Ass
He didn’t pick up the Berg lawsuit, he didn’t pick up the Ayers thing until really late, he made sure he vetted any story against Obama with a million lawyers. Then he runs this anonymous hit piece on Palin.
What total crap
I think Shawn Hannity really is a conservative and Greta really likes Sarah and the whole Palin family. She went to Alaska and learned something about people like the Palins and she was impressed. You are right about the rest of the FoxNews talking heads. Worthless. Duecy on F&F is ok.
Cameron is the one who reported the 30 yr old DUI on GWB just 2 days before the election that almost cost him the election. He is taking orders from the dem camp and has been for quite awhile.
This is now making me hate McCain and his staff. They should be kissing Sarah’s feet for what she did for this campaign.
There was another interesting story about the defecting of upper class North Eastern Republicans to Obama. Man said that the Reopublican party will have to change to get them to come back to the party. Aren’t they all RINOs, anyway? These are the very folks that stabbed Palin in the back.
me thinks the FOX folks are gettin’ too big for their britches.
I used to watch Faux News. I now get all my “news” here, NRO, and Blogs.
If they lose audience they will return to what made them worth our time.
We are now seeing the new narrative spreading from the MSM/DBM to the Sheeple, “It’s Sarah’s fault.”
Trust me, your lives will improve dramatically if you reject ALL MSM/DBM.
I thought so too till he did his attack on Ron Paul in the following the GOP debates interviews. It was uncalled for. He would twist Paul's statements then run his yap yelling while Paul tried to defend himself. Paul thought we had better options in Iraq and so did I. We hugged Tar Baby getting bogged down in what should have been a war and military mission lasting about 12 months. Paul said try Letters or Marque and Reprisals. That simply means letting hired guns do it. The Constitution allows that option despite an Executive Order by Jerry Ford and Jimmy Carter saying otherwise.
Ron Paul has a far more Conservative history and record than Rudy. Rudy was the most liberal one running and Sean was supporting him. Being Mayor of NYC on 9/11 does not automatically make a person POTUS material. What you will never hear coming from Hannity is other Conservative congressmen shared Paul's concerns on a lot of issues. For example Tennessee Congressman John Duncan has been pretty outspoken on Bush's handling of Iraq along with other issues and Duncan is about as Conservative as they come. Duncan and Paul were among the few Republicans who had the guts to say NO on the bailout in all votes. The rest were too busy helping Bush help out Barney Frank.
What Hannity and Paul were arguing about IIRC was Paul saying our foreign policy in the M.E. was wrong. Well it is wrong and for decades has caused us grief. Paul understands what NEOCONs refuse to understand and what Reagan understood. There is no rational dealing with M.E. nations. Among our worse enemy in the M.E. we buy oil from and that is Saudi Arabia who had the majority of 911 hijackers I believe. Iraq had how many? None.
You do not stick your face in a rattlesnakes den and then blame the snake for biting you. It is a Rattlesnake and you put your head where it did not belong. It responeded as any Rattlesnake would. Trying to be the M.E. moderator or it's policeman, peace keeper, whatever, is about as insane as sticking your head in a Rattlesnake Den. You will get bit by the snakes. Learn about the snakes first and handle them accordingly. A Rattlesnake doesn't care that you are a human nor will it respect you as it respects no one. It is a snake and responds as such. That is basically the Paul M.E. doctorine. Makes sense to me.
My husband, even the kids, said months ago that Cameron was in the tank for Obama. The husband said he was a typical Washington elitist snob and hated people like Palin, people like us. This doesn’t surprise me at all.
Without Palin on the ticket I would have voted "against" 0bama.
With Palin on the ticket I voted "for" Palin.
Palin attracted all of us who realized that McCain was seriously flawed as a standard bearer for the Republican Party.
As Ann Coulter put it:
How could Republicans go after B. Hussein Obama (as he is now known) on planning to bankrupt the coal companies when McCain supports the exact same cap and trade policies and earnestly believes in global warming?
How could we go after Obama for his illegal alien aunt and for supporting driver's licenses for illegal aliens when McCain fanatically pushed amnesty along with his good friend Teddy Kennedy?
How could we go after Obama for Jeremiah Wright when McCain denounced any Republicans who did so?
How could we go after Obama for planning to hike taxes on the "rich," when McCain was the only Republican to vote against both of Bush's tax cuts on the grounds that they were tax cuts for the rich?
And why should Republican activists slave away working for McCain when he has personally, viciously attacked: John O'Neill and the Swift Boat Veterans, National Right to Life director Doug Johnson, evangelical pastors Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and John Hagee, various conservative talk radio hosts, the Tennessee Republican Party and on and on and on?
Indeed. How could anyone?
As a friend of mine said after McCain voted for the bailout bill, "He just had the election handed to him on a silver platter and he blew it. In the Super Bowl of politics, he just picked up a fumble and ran the wrong way!"
"You will embrace this attack on Gov. Palin. Support it, from our lands in
the north. I will gain GOP favor by condemning it and
ordering it opposed from our lands in the south. Whichever way
the tide runs, we will rise."
I sent her one, I just googled up “Alaska Governor web site” and found the home page. There is an email contact on that site.
Cameron is just repeating what he was told by a McCain insider. And I believe Carl Cameron.
Don’t forget that John McCain refused to let Sarah appear on any of the Sunday talk shows , or even Jay Leno or Larry King.
I have not watched FOX in 3 days and I’m done with all the media...they couldn’t tell us the truth if their lives depended on it.
I hope there ratings go down to 0 like all the others.
