Vanity: Fox News Panelist Liz Trotta Agrees With Karl Rove: Palin's Alaska Is Unpresidential

Posted on 11/13/2010 12:38:19 PM PST by Retired Intelligence Officer

I was appalled at Liz Trotta and 3 other conservative guest panelist (that I couldn't name) on this afternoons Fox newswatch hosted by Jon Scott all agreed that Palins new reality show, Sarah Palin's Alaska on the Discovery Channel was very unpresidential and it would sink her any chances for the White House.

The topic was that liberal advocacy groups were asking for the Discovery Channel to pull the plug on it. The consevative commentator Liz Trotta then said that she agreed with Karl Rove that this was a bad move for Palin. Trotta then goes on to take a pop shot at Palin saying "everytime this woman opens her mouth that her numbers go down". She then said "the more she speaks that she makes people simply not like her". Jon Scott did not ask Trotta why this was just like yesterday when Megyn Kelly didn't ask Meghan McCain why she thought Palin would be best as a reality star.

My question is why is Fox news who hired Sarah Palin allowing conservative guest freely without explanation to back up their facts to trash her and her message in a public forum? Why are they allowing people to tarnish her reputation as well as her new TV program which they advertize during commercial time? Something smells

What she did before she quit? Absolutely nothing. Did I say she’s completely disqualifed now? Well.. That’s what’s she did to herself by A: quitting and B: making herself and her family a media circus.

Do you understand that I have no policy disagreements with her before she quit? As far as I know she might’ve walked on water then. What difference does that make now?

"What has she really done that puts her above anyone else?"

She is simply being Sarah. She's one of us!! A patriotic American Conservative & you can smear & talk all day - but there is nothing you can do about it!!

We are loyal to those we love & there is NOTHING that Sarah has done to deserve the venom from those who don't happen to like her. We LOVE her.

Palin had $500,000 in legal debts because of frivolous lawsuits. If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person at FR.

I agree with you on Haley’s accent. He is qualified, smarter than hell, lots of experience.

His accent is charming to many....to others...not so much.

He would be unfairly dubbed a redneck.

It is what it is.

Sexism is a problem she has to overcome. I can agree with that. Male candidates seem to get better treatment. but the media will try to destroy male conservative candidates as much as they possibly can.

All these people know is back-stabbing and slander. Worthless. Just trot Sarah out there and let’s just see how much support she really has.

Anyone following Rove and his kind are willingly putting the last nail into our coffin as a nation. Thanks a lot all of you Rovebots, Romneybots and other detractors.

So tell me Tolsti2. By her policy record in Alaska. What did you disagree with her on that makes you think she did nothing?

How’d all that turn out? She made it out only because she quit?

"What has she really done that puts her above anyone else?"

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to stand by and do nothing. --Sir Edmund Burke

That is exactly what the spineless RINO elites have been doing for years, nothing. While the marxists chop away at our freedoms, they sat back and did nothing while evil triumphed.

It took a woman with balls to stand up and say no more. Working in tandem with the TEA Parties, Sarah Palin has given God loving, freedom loving people hope that we can take down the marxists destroying our country.

Sarah Palin understands the trouble we see because she sees it too. Unlike all the elites, she gets it.

Ok, so that’s an adult method of discussion? That’s appealing to authority isn’t it, a logical fallacy.

Also, I said she’s politically toxic, which she is. I support what she does, but I don’t think she can win. That’s something you guys need to consider.
