The Left's Ongoing Suicide

First off, I agree with those who suggest not getting too excited over McCain's VP pick in terms of the general election. However, as this is posted at TPM - it must be true, right? Unfortunately they are overlooking a few critical factors.

We've now had a week of blaring headlines and one-liners about Sarah Palin as the mavericky, pork-busting reformer from Alaska. But we seem to be witnessing the first stirrings of a backlash and a dawning realization that the 'Sarah Palin' we've heard so much about over the last few days is a fraud of truly comical dimensions.

While the Left and, granted, the media has turned up a chink or two in Sarah's armor, they've hurled so much, so wrong, so fast, their credibility has been even more damaged than it ever was and far more damaged than has Palin.

But the real key points are these: average Americans don't like the screeching Left, nor do they much like the media these days.

And so far they do like Sarah Palin. In the current battle over who is Sarah Palin America will once again be drawing its own conclusions when she sits down with Charles Gibson. I suspect the Left and the portion of the media clamoring to take down Sarah Palin will end up looking like a moose in the headlights once again.

Call it Convention Speech 2, if you will. As Santayana said and many others have since intoned, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Speaking of the screeching Left.....Just in time to help Barry Hussein flush the election down the toilet..MSNBC launches the RacHELL madCOW show...what a piece of crap..if no one listens to her on the radio, why would they subject themselves to this...Old Pat Buchanan almost made her cry last night!!!!!

This gets straight to the point.

The moonbats don't get that more the more monkey poop they sling the more it turns off the voters.

Not everyone is like President Carter and others who spend their day looking for every link to a negative story they can find.

The left has made a huge mistake this election cycle if they think that by making up stories about Palin it will help make their god king Xerxes look any better to middle class white women voters, you know the ones that are going to help decide the outcome of this election!

Dam, Dan. Gotta give you credit again. You told the truth twice in one week.

"Call it Convention Speech 2, if you will"

That is exactly what the interview will be be. As in "prepared in advance". Charles Gibson, give me a break.

The Washington Post continues to run several hit pieces on Sarah in today's paper. Nasty people down there at the Post.
This is some funny satire. Nothing wrong with laughing and having a good time. This lady is funnier than Sat. Night Live. She has done 7 videos so far on YouTube.

"--- RacHELL madCOW show ... Old Pat Buchanan almost made her cry last night!!!!! ---"

Good ol' PJB. If there was anyone who could give that rather manly Madcow pause, it'd be him.

"--- The WaPo ---"

Aye, and it should be properly called the Washington COMpost, for often it stinketh of much cow manure.

Here is an attempt to address all the smears:

Damn, those youtube vlogs are funny! See, us conservatives can laugh at ourselves.

Here's the bottom line, if the Left and their allies weren't so scared of Sarah Palin they would say nothing, and would be glad she was on the Republican ticket. But these douchbags are scared shitless, and will do anything, tell any lie(well, they will tell any lie, anyway, but you know what I mean) or worse, in an effort to get Xerxes elected.

[seekeronos]

The Xerxes comparison is most fitting... heh.

We watched "300" last night, and there were more than a few scenes where the actor playing the character of Xerxes looked *exactly* like Obama, particularly in the "smug pose" toward the end where Xerxes stands up, expecting Leonidas to bow to him... (but Leonidas actually fakes him out) before their last-ditch attempt to kill him.

[the asset]

ya suppose if palin stumbles on a line or says something **profoundly** stupid, like "my muslim faith" (you know: like rainman obama did), ya suppose gibson will jump in quick like a bunny to help her? "you mean your *christian* faith, mein leader!!" like mr. no-bias stephanopoulos did for baraq?

no? not too likely?

or is that just because palin's nowhere near as ignorant and mush-mouthed as baraq?

Harpo: "Charles Gibson, give me a break."

Gibson isn't liberal enough for him. He would prefer that the two "reassigned" talents from MSNBC take over the interviewing duties, or perhaps Huffington.

[WAHOO WILLIE]

"mr. no-bias stephanopoulos."
Wonder if Obies shoes made squishy sounds as he left the studio after having steffy lick his shoes for an hour............

How about spreading it around a little. Give all of them an interview.

Seems fair enough to me.
