Nicole's Knifework (David Frum Identifies the anti-Palin Leaker)
National Review ^ | November 6, 2008 | David Frum

Posted on 11/06/2008 9:11:40 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

Wow -that is some savage cutting & gutting that Nicole Wallace has just performed upon Sarah Palin. Nicole & I crossed swords once, during the Harriet Miers nomination battle. Watching what Nicole can do when she is seriously annoyed, I am grateful that I got away from that fight with nothing worse than a few bumps and bruises ....

That said: Some of these stories do not ring quite true to me, especially the story about Palin allegedly not realizing that Africa was a continent rather than a country. Apparently she did not grasp that "South Africa" was not the same thing as "southern Africa." But there a lot of possible innocent explanations for a mistake like that.

” Also, to think that she doesn’t know the nations that are part of the NAFTA agreement is utter Bull Crap. She negotiated a pipeline with Canada that was DOA for years.

I don’t believe a word of this sh$+ “

Let’s do this.... give sitting senators/reps a civics/geography test.

My guess most will fail.

Two prime examples: Obama - I’ve been to 57 states.

Biden: Wrong president during the depression.

"I truly think she is hoping for a career with the MSM -- maybe back at CBS with Katie."

Well, she just earned herself one! : )

I have a liberal acquaintance or two, but I don't seek them out.

BTW, EXCELLENT work on this RG. You uncovered all this days ago! Kudos!

I just sent an email to the campaign saying that McCain better come out and stand up for Palin NOW or I will nver give to the RNC again!!! I will only give to the candidates themselves.

As always, McCain trashes REpublicans while he is magnaimous to the Dems like Hussein.

Maybe it’s better mcCain DIDN”T win

Ping! I thought you might be interested. Nicole Wallace is NOT a Romney staffer.

Remember how much coverage the drive-bys gave Obama's "57 states" comment?

I thought you did.

They're so cute, aren't they?

Nicole Wallace was named by Fred Barnes some time ago as the staffer who "probably" leaked first malicious clothing story.

Next night on the Brit Hume show panel, Fred grovellingly apologized to Wallace.

That's what convinced me: It was Wallace.

As a poster upthread said, I think the men are just as bad these days. You know how even the elite of our own party despise all the red-meat conservatives? And how the ‘males” of the elite, plus the ones who are spinning their little legs like ducks in water to be Washington “insiders” , are mostly a bunch of metrosexuals? They’re as bad as any b*tchy female. They’re probably just as jealous of Sarah Palin’s good hair .

Great question. Frum has not been a friend of conservatives of late, from what I can tell.

Frum is a self-promoter, plain and simple. Was he ever really a Conservative? He is a Canadian, who went to Yale and remained, basically mouthing a "Neocon" philosophy, while claiming to be Conservative. He wrote a book suggesting that "Democracy" was the magic cure all for Third World problems, which Pat Buchanan absolutely destroyed in a review. At the time, I suggested that we send Frum to Haiti to save the Clinton legacy (David Frum To Haiti Project).

Back about three or so years ago, a friend of mine tried to trick Frum into coming to Southern Ohio, and debating me, but he didn't fall for it. He is a shallow fellow, but that is not why I do not like him. He has written some very disrespectful things about principled Conservatives, living and dead. He should have no place in the councils of true Conservatives. He is not one.

McCain had better get his tail on TV - QUICK!!! - and denounce this destruction of Palin.

I can’t remember when I’ve been madder.

Yeah, I’m holding my breath. He’d do it in a heartbeat if someone tried to destroy Obama, but can’t be bothered when they’re trying to trash his running mate.

If it weren’t for the fact that we got Obama, I’d be glad he lost!

I saw her right after they called PA and OH on FOX, and we’re waiting for a fighter, someone to say, “No! These numbers are full of crap and we think you’ll have to pull out of this projection.” For God’s sake, you say that even if you don’t mean it. But she came out and virtually conceded the election.

Absolutely agreed. It's outrageous.

I’m patiently waiting for McCain to come out and tell us Sarah Palin is a good family woman and we have nothing to fear....oh wait.

Nicole Wallace - two things come to mind. By the way, David Frum is a punk but when they were fighting over the absolutely wretched Harriet Myers, whose side was Nicole on? Now, back to Ms. Wallace...

1. She’s a commentator on CBS (why do we allow the enemy to have access to our activities?)

2. She’s dressed in all black... For whatever sick reason, the hard lefties do this all the time.

Two clues, and I figured it out all by myself.

Case Closed: John McCain is a traitor to his country and I’m sorry I voted for him.

Listening to Rush and reading these stories....

Rush led his show with “its worse than I thought”. Hes right, but not just in the context he said it.

There is literally ZERO “limited government” types in DC now. Besides a handful of “conservatives” the entirety of the DC scene is at least socialist and beginning to lean heavily marxist. With the anointing of 0bama as president the marxists will have a lock on all 3 branches of teh US governemnt.

“well.. at least we have the republicans!” right? Not a f-—ing chance. THAT group is solidly socialist now, besides the aforementioned handful of “conservatives”. It should be painfully clear to everyone whos “eyes will see and ears will hear” that the republican party socialists are trashing the ONE PERSON who gave the ticket even the slightest hope of a chance. Why? because she is a real “limited government” type. She cant be seen as what was right with the ticket.

What currently exists as the power struggle for this nation is between marxists and socialists, and I assure you they will find common ground. I can also assure you that none of them give a damn about the founding principles of this nation. They WILL replace the constitution as the foundation of law in this country. What little is left to replace.

So... Here we are looking to fight not only a marxist president and his marxist party but also a solidly socialist republican party. Not only are we looking to fight them, some say we must do so within the boundaries and rules they have and WILL set up. We will have to contend with a thuggish and illegal (yet federally funded) “GOTV” group called ACORN. We will have to stand in the face of the hurricane of propaganda spewed by the leftist media. That isnt a fight, thats the equivalent of placing your own head on the chopping block. Its also the cowards answer to actually tacking action.

What is it going to take? What actually has to happen? For those of you who keep pushing the line back to find the resolve to fight? My god... One would have thought that a federal government controlled entirely by marxists would have been enough...

>> They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable—and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

Just as it was then, it is now. Our chains are forged...

Also consider this... Have YOU elevated the United States government to the status of Holy idol? Will you not defend your freedoms and the founding principles of this nation from a federal government infested by those who will destroy those very principles and by extension that which you have elevated so high? If so your king is not a man or a god, youve made the wooden doors, plaster walls and expensive titles etched in gold your king. You genuflect at the idol of Washington DC and debase the the meaning and principles of liberty and freedom.

Figure it out fast, The marxists will move quick. They ALWAYS do once they have their talons in.

We should be careful not to attack another Republican unless we know for sure who it is. The Left has been lying and playing us for a while now.
