Liberal Double Standard
The attempt by the drive-by media to vilify and truncate the candidacy of Sarah Palin has liberals playing the despicable role of hypocrite Lies Wiehl and Megan Kelly have an intelligent and definitive discussion of the mistreatment and hatred directed at Governor Palin . These two bright women articulate the issues and shine the spotlight on the stupidity of the radical left.
Republican Royalty
At tonight’s session of the Republican Convention, there was a brief film to honor former President George HW Bush (The First President Bush) and Barbara Bush. Along with Nancy Reagan, the elder Bush family represents Republican and American Royalty. President and Barbara Bush gave years of dedicated, loyal, and patriotic service to our nation. He was one of the most qualified men to run for and serve as President. He was honorable, dignified, and highly successful.
Seeing George and Barbara Bush brings back memories of those glorious Reagan years from 1981-1993. May God Bless George and Barbara Bush.
It’s Palin 24/7
Wow! I am very proud of Sarah Palin! Palin can be an agent for authentic, meaningful change to the United States.
Fred Thompson Takes on the New York Times
Fred Thompson is one of the great Republican Spokesman. He blasts the NY Times for their typically ridiculous coverage. The mainstream, liberal media just can’t believe that Sarah Palin was selected without their knowledge. The media acts like they are the fourth branch of government.
CNN Is Not Having A Good Week
Campbell Brown is just the latest CNN anchor-person to embarrass herself. As an old friend used to say, CNN must be “smelling themselves” after their ratings last week during the Democrat National Convention. Their coverage this week of the Republican Convention is the essence of double-standard, hypocritical elite media at its’ worst. Joined by the New York Times, CNN is doing everything within its power to destroy Sarah Palin. As a result, John McCain refuses to go on Larry King tonight. After James Carville’s tirade last night on Larry King, I am hoping that all republicans will boycott CNn for the duration.
ST. PAUL — Hey, what did Larry King ever do to anybody?
Nothing, said aides to Senator John McCain. Still, Mr. McCain will no longer be sitting down with Mr. King on CNN on Tuesday. He canceled a long-scheduled interview with Larry King of CNN as punishment for what his aides said was an unfair interview of a McCain campaign spokesman by the network host Campbell Brown on Monday night.
Wolf Blitzer, the CNN anchor, announced the news on Tuesday afternoon, saying, “A senior McCain adviser tells CNN the interview has been pulled because of a segment CNN ran last night during Campbell Brown’s ‘Election Central’.”
In that segment, Ms. Brown had sharply questioned Tucker Bounds, a campaign spokesman, after he said that the role of Mr. McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, as commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard was an example of executive experience that Senator Barack Obama of Illinois did not have.
“Can you tell me one decision that she made as commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard, just one?” Ms. Brown asked.
Mr. Bounds responded, “Any decision she has made as the commander of the National Guard that’s deployed overseas is more of a decision Barack Obama’s been making as he’s been running for president for the last two years.”
Ms. Brown pressed again, saying: “So tell me. Tell me. Give me an example of one of those decisions.”
To which Mr. Bounds said, “Campbell, certainly you don’t mean to belittle every experience, every judgment she makes as commander.” The argument devolved from there, with no real resolution.
Mr. Blitzer said, “CNN does not believe that exchange was over the line,” adding, “We hope Senator McCain will join us here on CNN in the very, very near future.”
The campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
Alaska’s Joan of Arc: Sarah Palin
From the Anchorage Daily News (It’s a Little different than the NY Daily News!)
Sarah Palin was a hockey mom, small-town mayor and rising young Republican star in Alaska in 2003 when she ran afoul of her party’s establishment as a whistleblower and was cast into the political wilderness.
But she came charging back as an ethics crusader to win the governor’s office in 2006 (including a landslide primary victory over incumbent Republican governor Frank Murkowski) and has remained one of the most popular local politicians in America even as she continued to take on such powerful figures as the oil companies and the leaders of her own state party.
Palin, 44, has been the Joan of Arc of Alaska politics, marching into battle against long odds on such big local issues as oil taxes and construction of a natural gas pipeline only to see her opposition crumble. Days after her 2006 primary victory, an FBI investigation into political corruption involving the oil industry and Republican legislators burst into view with surprise raids of legislative offices. Criminal indictments and convictions followed, often just in time for the headlines to help her win another contest in Juneau.
CNN Embarrasses Itself Beyond Repair
An idle media, angry that Hurricane Gustav did not provide them with fodder to bash President Bush and Vice-President Cheney, have created a misleading and misdirected template for the Sarah Palin story. Outraged by McCain’s choice of a conservative woman, who is not part of their elitist beltway class, nasty liberal media types look like vicious sharks trying to draw blood.
Late Monday afternoon live on CNN, Bill Bennett rebuked — as an “outrageous” piece of “advocacy” and “attack journalism” that “has no place on CNN” — a story the channel had just run which used the pregnancy of Sarah Palin’s daughter to score political points by relaying as fact the talking points on sex education from a left-wing group. A defensive Wolf Blitzer kept saying “hold on” as he tried to justify raising the supposed hypocrisy.
