A Feeding Frenzy

The frenzy in which the media is going after Governor Sarah Palin's family is, to be frank, disgusting.


Rumours, innuendo, lies and gossip sweep through the liberal blogs and on to the television screen as newsworthy. Where was all of this media scrutiny when it came to light that John Edwards was screwing around on his cancer stricken wife? Where are the questions about when exactly Barack "middle name redacted" Obama was conceived in relation to his mother's wedding? If decorum can be maintained when reporting on those incidents, then decorum can be maintained when reporting on Governor Sarah Palin's family.

How are we ever going to get good and decent people to run for office when this is what they can expect to happen to their families?

When you can no longer debate the politils of your opponent you must then attack the opponent with ANY and all lies at you disposal...

The cretins of the MSM are nothing less than disgusting, and their love of the Obamessiah is unfreaking believable...

Welcome to the world Rove wrought.

Swiftboating is now a national pastime.

It's pithy, but I have one quibble: it makes it look like the Palin family is losing. I'm not so sure.

Anon;

There is a very big difference between Swift Boat Vets disputing what John Kerry put on the table, and the attempted desimation of an entire family.

Don; I'm with you, I think the Palin's are going to show what Americans are made of.

Fred, all you have to do is compare the coverage of the Dem convention and the Republican convention to prove the media bias.

I really loved Palin's answer to the media tonight in her speech: "I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment, and I've learned quickly these last few days that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone, but here's a little newsflash for those reporters & commentators, I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion, I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this great Country!"
