Of course Governor Palin was a public servant (Governor), so she, as a public servant, should be subjected to scrutiny and to the same rules and vigorous scrutiny as other politicians. We need to know about our public servants and all of them. That includes Governor Palin. No one - including Govenor Palin - should get a pass. It makes sense to spend resources to report about her - including reviewing her work - but of course it should be commensurate with how other public servants are reported and commensurate with its importance. It should be good, smart aggressive and thorough journalism - not more, not less. One question you might ask, is she getting about the same treatment as other politicians under about the same circumstances? If not, why not?
If however a news organization is seen as having a bad motive - ie on a mission to destroy someone rather than trying to assemble noteworthy information and report - it is not journalism but something else. Palin should not get "special treatment" or a "media colonoscopy" simply because the media can't get enough of her ...doesn't like her...or thinks it will spike readership or viewers to cover her.

It isn't about Palin. It's about disenfranchising conservatives, denying them real choices in elections so we're left with nothing but socialists and RINOS to pick from in so-called "elections" between Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. Because that's worked out so well for the country.
Watch for character assasinations of Bachmann, Cain or any other real conservative who might emerge as a strong prospect for the presidency.
Are we citizens? Is this democracy?
They knew it the first time they saw her.
It's why they go insane ever time they think of her.

The Crackpot Palin Foamers are going to spend all weekend pouring through these 20K e-mails looking for a smoking gun, and then after spending all that time coming up with NOTHING (except manufactured slander) then I will be a happy camper. What a waste of time.
Liberals hate Sarah because she’s a feminist’s dream, but she’s conservative.
And they flat-out lie about her, but that’s just par for the course.
The more Matthews hates Bachmann the more I like her.
So! Where is the request to see Bowbama’s emails while a state senator or a U.S. senator? Where are his college records? (afterthought: And, where is his REAL birth cirtificate?) Fight fire with fire!
They’ve been trying to destroy Sarah Palin since McCain choose her to be his VP running mate. She’s still standing tall and still marching on. She’s got their heads exploding and they’re chasing her bus across the country. Ya gotta love Sarah Palin.
That is what makes me mad about the media including Fox.
If even one of them did a story and showed the picture of 0bama supporting odinga, the race for the White House would have been over for him
Just as Civil Rights was not about equality for blacks, but subjugation, so the sexual revolution was not about freedom for women, but bondage.
IT'S NOT ABOUT PALIN
IT'S ABOUT DENYING
CONSERVATIVES
A REAL CHOICE
For my rear window
You get Palin's cabinet.
You get Palin's advisors.
You get Palin's ambassadors including the UN.
You get Palin's judicial appointments including Supreme Court Justices.
You get Palin's choices for the heads of the FDA, FCC, FAA, DOT, EPA, IRS, Treasury, Commerce, Education, Labor, Justice, FBI. CIA, Homeland Security.....
In other words, you get the most conservative, pro-American, Constitutionally constrained Executive Branch in modern American history. And, a possible major shift in the make-up of the Supreme court and many lower courts.
This will not a bunch of wishy-washy, go along to get along, sharing power, Rinos and career bureaucrats.
That is what they must destroy any chance of happening.
All I kn ow is the MSM fix is in. I don’t care if it is a liberal, conservative or somewhere in between media ... they are trying to push Romney on us. Just another lap dog.
Stay strong.
Just as it is about keeping blacks on the plantation, it’s about keeping women barefoot. The left’s “equality” is an illusion.
The more energy they put into defeating her, the stronger she gets.
They just keep putting her clear consistent rational conservative concepts front and center.
The left - in their haste to destroy her - is making her president.
By the time it comes to a debate with Obumble - she can just stand there - and let him make an ass of himself.
The left's last, best chance.
We will know by next week whether she is running.
FWIW I believe she is but really won't formally announce until the last minute. Keep the powder dry, keep the left off balance. Make them do foolish things like this.
This wouldn’t be an issue of conern if Republican primary voters were informed. Most are so clueless that they “think” Mittens is a “conservative.” I would be shocked if Mittens is NOT the nominee.
How do you tell a real conservative? Everyone claims to be conservative. There must be at least half-dozen positions to distinguish the real from the Memorex but will voters agree on what they are? Maybe there is no agreement on what they are so everyone can claim to be a conservative. What do you consider the bedrocks?
The contention is ludicrous on it's face.
