Palin Goes After Media at GOP Dinner
AP via AOLNews ^ | March 26, 2009

Posted on 03/26/2009 7:07:18 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

(March 26) - Sarah Palin is teeing off on the media once again.

In a little-noticed speech to a GOP dinner in Alaska last week, Palin riffed for nearly an hour on a variety of topics — including her relationship with former McCain staffers, the Bush administration's anti-terror efforts, and actress Ashley Judd.

But the Alaska governor returned multiple times to the "unprecedented level of media slant" that she witnessed during her two-months on the Republican ticket with John McCain.

Her speech, delivered last Friday to the Anchorage Lincoln Day Dinner, was recorded by the Alaska Republican Party and posted online Tuesday.

Reflecting on the campaign, Palin said there were "a variety of reasons" Republicans lost in November, namely the faltering economy, but she seemed to place most of the blame on the press.

How could he, when the “leadership” of the IL GOP is full of people like you?

I saw a few minutes ago on HLN with anchor Rochelle - a giggly bimbo with glasses named Nicole mocked Palin. Also, it sounded like she said Palin opposed paying the medical bill of a soldier wounded in Iraq - I was not paying much attention in view of her unprofessional manner.

On your post 49 you called Hunter a paleocon.

No I didn't. I said paleocons backed him. That's the impression I got around here anyway. Paleos didn't support Ron Paul--libertarians did.

Actualy worked for Reagan in his first campaign for Gov.

Palin’s no Reagan. He believed that the Fourteenth Amendment protects the lives of unborn persons. All of them, in every state. She, unfortunately, like McCain, Ron Paul, Fred Thompson, Michael Steele, et al, takes the indefensible Gerald R. Ford position that the states have the “right” to alienate the unalienable right to life if they so “choose.”

Paleo aka Libertarian.

That's not correct. Paleos come from a much stronger religious background than libertarians. Paleos derive from Edmund Burke, Russell Kirk. In the old days they were the staunch anti-communists. Anti-federalists. They believe in a structured social order.

That's not really the same as libertarianism, which is much more ardently individualistic, and much more socially liberal. Paleos would align much more closely with the Constitution Party, for example, which is overtly religious in its platform. Libertarians would find that anathema. Pat Buchanan is probably the most well known modern example of a paleocon.

You are correct, however, that both paleocons and libertarians favor a less engaged foreign policy. Both groups would probably deride the role of the US as "policeman of the world." It's only in more recent years that conservatism, via the neocons, that Wilsonian foreign policy has become any part of conservatism.

If you feel like it, check my #129 and see if I got anything wrong.

This was my point re Hunter. Both he and his son believe in taking it to the enemy especially when they strike us first and declare war on us.

Why the press can pick our candidate? A lazy, uninformed electorate.

Possibly so.

However, I note that you use "####" to delineate the post you are quoting from your own words instead of italics or bold or other HTML tags.

Is this not also lazy and uniformed?

I'm pretty sure both paleos and libertarians believe in fighting Al Quaeda. I assume that's who you are referring to? Osama and his org?

Some won’t even go that far.
Many don’t even believe we should have fought WWII

I have several relatives who have served and still serving in Iraq and Afgh.
This is all the same war, just as when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor we also fought in North Africa. All the same.

In order for the next GOP national office candidate to prevail they must address this about the media like she is doing.

Drive it home.

Make them defensive.

I’ve had a Palin McCain sticker on my truck since before the election with the McCain part removed. LOL

Lay it out, Sargeant at Arms.

Your oddly skewed perspective and abject lack of logic, has confused a debatable political point with an unwillingness, or lack of knowledge of HTML (you really don’t which), to dress up and format a post to your liking.

Her perception is accurate.
