Is It Me, or Do Ordinary People See It Too?

The Attempted Destruction of Sara Palin

Is it me, and Republicans in general who are paying attention, or does the general public see the deliberate attempt to destroy Sara Palin for what it is?

I genuinely believe Sara Palin is doing a wonderful job with her involvement in the campaign despite the withering blasts coming her way.

However, the one thing she cannot control is the news stories taken totally out of context that are scripted to damage her. That is the part that is just blowing my mind. Is the American general public seeing it too? I genuinely hope so!


The Palin leaves open option of war with Russia Story really made my head spin. It was so blatantly false!

Of course we cannot omit the ABC Misrepresents Palin Quote in ‘Holy War’ Question Of course it was a lot of other news organizations who committed the same offense without batting an eye.

Now we here that Sarah Palin’s husband has been subpoenoed by Democrats in Alaska over the “trooper” story.

Now of course the next talking point line is the Charlie Gibson interview and the “Bush Doctrine” question.

Now I know that there will be people here who will tell me that this is expected, and get use to it. Well, I did expect it, but I won’t get use to it. The thing that gets me most is that Democrats think nothing of destroying anybody who threatens their power. They don’t even blink and the news media goes along with it. In fact the news media helps them. Does the general public see it?!!!

However, on the Republican side it is all about “bi-partisanship” and reaching across the isle, and the gang of “whatever” for that week in the name of bi-partisanship. The Democrats come to destroy us, and the media is good with it, and we have bi-partisan Republicans who are bringing a picnic basket to share to what is obviously a gun fight.

I guess I am furious with the media duplicity in the attempt to destroy this woman, while Charlie Gibson gets away with a love-fest with Obama, but hammers Sarah Palin in the name of fairness to challenge the people who would be president.

Yes, this is just a vent. I had to get it out of my system. Consider this a place to vent your frustrations on this one topic if you like. It is for me.

    That was behind my diary this morning also. I fear the general public will NOT see it. This is a result of the media being under the control of the left. And I really don’t know what we can do about it, as Dick and Jane don’t read blogs.

      Yes, I was overhearing conversations this morning from “ordinary people” here in Ohio.

      The “old guys” (55-65) are – in part – former public school teachers, not a group known to be conservative. They were downright angry about the treatment of Palin by Gibson and the media in general.

      One mentioned that Big Brobama was a “chicken” for not accepting McCain’s townhall debate proposals.

      Another recommended Peggy Noonan’s essay in today’s Wall Street Journal to everybody. (I will do the same!)

      Another mentioned that the “Green nuts” had taken over the Democrat Party, and that was why he did not want to see them in power.

      So, yes, if this is at all representative, you are not the only one noticing the bias!

        but Dick and Jane shop. The MSM survives on advertising dollars and if enough pressure is placed upon those corporations that purchase advertisements in the left wing daily newspapers and television broadcasts they in turn will pressure the MSM to tone down the rhetoric.
        I’m not a boycott fanatic but I do believe it can be effective when well timed and well placed.
        For those who support the leftist media with their advertising dollars they will receive no patronage from me.

          …that they SHOULD be putting the pressure on? That is my point. The publick is getting a one-sided view of things. How are THEY going to know that it’s incorrect? The only way they’ll know to put on that pressure of which you speak is to know that what the MSM is producing is crap. Other than in the conservative blog world, there have been few counters to the ABC Palin crucifixion.

    The Democraps think that if they control the media, they in return control the minds of the country…Not!!
    I personally don’t think it is so bad off with Bush as president, but the Democraps have painted him as a war loving stooge.
    The true Stooge is every democrap that cares more about themself than the good for this country as a whole.
    The real crap is what the democraps crapped out this election year.
    His name Barack Obottom!!
