NBC News Reporter Andrea Mitchell Joins DNC Attack on Palin over Hand-Gate
Monday, February 8, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 02/08/2010 7:34:24 AM PST by kristinn

Andrea Mitchell, identified by NBC News as the network's Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, this morning joined in the attacks on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin over the 2008 Republican party's vice-presidential nominee's use of notes written on her hand during an appearance at the Tea Party Nation convention in Nashville this past weekend.

Appearing on MSNBC's the Daily Rundown, Mitchell lampooned Palin by holding up her hand with scribbling on her palm while castigating Palin for criticizing Barack Obama for his reliance on TelePrompTers.

Co-host Chuck Todd, who can usually be found on his knees in front of Obama, surprisingly tried to defend Palin by saying, "We've all done notes."

Mitchell was having none of that, though and insisted this was a capital political offense.

attacked yesterday by Democratic National Committee spokesman Hari Sevugan for having the words, "Energy, Tax Cuts, Lift American Spirits" written on the palm of her left hand during her Tea Party appearance.

Palin responded to her liberal critics yesterday by writing "Hi Mom!" on her left palm during a campaign stop for Texas Governor Rick Perry's reelection bid.

They’ll regret this. Palin will turn this around and have it as her calling card.

She can now accept ads on her hand. Call Obama a tool, live on her hand.

LMAO.

Andrea, jealousy is so unbecoming.

Hi kristinn,

I am laughing because it is endearing to anyone who has given a speech that she has written a word or two on her hand...shows again that she is a real person.

Unlike His Royal Astroturf who has everything scripted by Soros or the biggest contributor of the day.

Reagan was in a class by himself that wasn’t matched by anyone the entire last century. His writings, in his own hand, have PROVEN how brilliant the man really was.

AS for Andrea Mitchell, I tend to go with what Breitbart said the other day concerning them. They SUCK.

It shows utter stupidity on Palin’s part,especially when they will take the smallest thing and use it against you. That to me shows she isn’t presidential material, the MSM won’t cover for her as they did for Obambi the manchild.

I think she is actually applying the idea of the Martial Arts to the MSM. She is using their own strength against them. When they explode over the tiniest thing, constantly over-reacting, they get to play Yosemite Sam to Palin's Bugs Bunny. There is a sizable part of the electorate who are not mainly issues-oriented. They are the ones who heard Obama's platitudes and looked at Ross Perot's charts, and took them more or less at face value, figuring that Perot was more or less pragmatic conservative, and Obama was reasonable and balanced. A generation ago, they thought Carter was honest and competent. Most important, these people vite for those who are likeable. Sarah Palin is getting covered more or less on her own terms, and more people who have not already decided to hate her, have found her to be likeable.

What’s so funny is, the harder they attack Palin, the more successful she becomes. And these looney Liberals are too stupid to see that.

"I am actually starting to think she did it on purpose knowing they would see it and make a big deal out of it.

BAHAAHAHAHHAHHAA

Man, she is blowing them out of the water and they don’t even know it !

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA"<br>

Yep. And who cares if she wrote something on her palm. I do that all the time.

Sarah gave an outstanding speech, that she wrote herself, for at least 45 minutes without any teleprompter.

LAUGH AT THE LIBS, SARAH!!! THEY WON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT!!!
The liBS are losing ground every day; oBama is dwindling every moment and a great woman who jots a couple of keywords on her palm is helping bring them all down, and bring us all back to reality!

Love it!

I had to post this at the Patriot's Flag:

The Patriot's Flag: Sarah Palin and Handgate

This is truly laughable, I used this technique myself and so do many other professionals who want to be sure not to miss the most important points with an audience. Amazing they picked up on this in the first place ... shows you those "speaking" probably have never given a major speech or at least a good one!

At least, Andrea, Sarah doesn't need to get her face fixed, time and time again. I think Sarah is pretty comfortable with who she is, unlike you. Besides, the fact, that Sarah is genuine, take her or leave her, she doesn't think she is better or smarter than the rest of us.

You can't fix ugly (inside and out) including those pits in your face, Andrea. Keep up the arrogance and condescension. It has worked so well for you.

By turning it around with the “Hi, Mom” she has shown how wise she is. The media looked ridiculous, Americans related to the hand note AND the hello to mother, and the media will now have to think twice before they try to pounce on her again.

Next, she should write on her palm: “I don’t need a teleprompter” or “Everybody knows it’s CORE-man” and see if they cover it.

The genius is that she shows she has a sense of humor about the media. She’s showing America she’s not afraid of the nattering nabobs and will not be controlled by them. America has been wondering if the media will be selecting our POTUS from now on.
