Isn’t it interesting how the mainstream media knows no bounds in their 24/7 attacks on VP nominee Sarah Palin. First she was unqualified, then she was corrupt, then she lied about the birth of her child, then she wasn’t vetted properly and now she is sounding like a broken record. This, of course, from the same media who has never once questioned any position, ideal or association of their messiah Obama.
The mainstream media has gone so far as to report stories coming from the left wing anti-American blogosphere without any foundation or merit, which in the real world would be tantamount to libel. Each and every story has proven to be false. The latest media hype is to jump on Palin because she continues to use the same soundbytes throughout her campaign.
Think about this for a second, she goes to Columbus and gives a speech and then gives the same speech in Pittsburgh. Imagine the audacity of sharing the same message with two completely different audiences. Of course all politicians do it, including the Chosen One who has parted the waters with a message of “change you can count on” for the past eighteen months but has never been accused of being a broken record.
The truth is the media has run out of attacks so they are finding little nuances in the campaign that can be used against Sarah Palin. They have perhaps discovered that gender is off limits after seeing an incredible backlash from their initial attempts to play that card. They can’t attack her experience, as she has more than Apollo Obama himself. They can’t attack her children. They can’t attack her for firing a state trooper who just so happened to have threatened her husbands life and tasered her 10 year old nephew. They are fit to be tied as her popularity continues to soar despite their throwing everything but the kitchen sink in her face.
So what next? It is being reported that a team of 30 lawyers and investigators have been sent to Alaska to turn up anything they can possible find. Perhaps there was a parking ticket in Wasilla in 1984. Maybe there is a leash law violation. If enough bribes are handed out they are certain to find someone who will lie about something. Don’t underestimate these people who learned all of their dirty tricks from the Clinton’s.
So far McCain and Palin have stayed above the fray and stayed on message. The media obviously wants them to change the message creating an even more compelling case to continue using key phrases comparing mayors to community organizers and reminding the world that the difference is that mayors actually have responsibilities.
As long as the mainstream media continues their attacks on Palin there will be a backlash among voters. This same biased media will continue to get their talking points from the left wing Koz kooks and other such Marxist bloggers. The unpatriotic folks at moveon.org will continue to generate lie upon lie which again will help the Obama campaign implode. Remember, today’s Democrats are beholden to these very special interests who hate our nation in a way rivaled only by Islamic fascists. Perhaps America is finally waking up, and for that we can thank Sarah Palin.
