Thanking Sarah Palin
The left and the Drive By media continue to hammer on Gov. Palin even after the election has been decided.
These attacks are unfounded and falsely reported by a liberal media who are still very afraid of this woman.
I found the following video over at The Underground Conservative. This will air during the week of Thanksgiving. Watch for it.

That’s some good paranoia.
It’s McCain’s campaign that’s feeding this stuff to the media and you fail to mention that.
Personally, I think it’s a case of karma. She made some pretty outrageous claims (pal’ing around with terrorists!?). Ayers has since stated that he barely knew the guy (Obama). Barack stated long ago that Ayers was someone from the neighborhood. But that wasn’t good enough. If his word isn’t good enough, why should Palin’s word be good enough that she knows Africa is a continent? It’s not a issue for me, just pointing out the hypocrisy. Toward the end of the campaign, they threw every possible thing they could dig out their butt at Obama.
So why is it surprising that the same folks (McCain campaign) who were allowed to do this as an acceptable way to attack a foe, turn their fire power on you? You taught ‘em how to do it. Play with fire, you might get burned.
And to kill the rebuttal I’m sure is coming, I’ve worked with a racist for the past 10 years. Attending company functions that he also attended. Even had a conversation or two with him. Does that make me a racist? No!

Nice try….
Did the guy you simply worked with sign your checks and live in the neighborhood? Did you have to consult with before he gave you the grant money? What of the known sympathizer Klonsky?
McCain’s former campaign is in CYA mode to divert blame from the lame campaign. Palin is the only reason McCain had half a chance.
The media is running on an ANONYMOUS source…. WHATEVER.
The media didn’t even do a bit of digging into any of Obama’s past and they’re now running with ANONYMOUS sources on Palin. That’s the point of this. The lack of coverage of Obama with definite links and pathways vs. The anonymous….
Now let me guess…..
You’re probably going to say that Rev. Wright was just a guy at Obama’s church….

Oh how we forget!
When the Rev. Wright controversy first broke out, it was reported ad nauseum on the networks. There was the first clip, then a second clip emerged. And I believe a third. So to say there was no digging is false. It got to the point where Obama had to come out and make a speech on Rev. Wright.
As far as Ayers. Obama gave his position on Ayers. Story didn’t last a week. Palin gave her side of the story regarding Africa being a continent. Story won’t last a week. I’m gonna call that one even.
If it wasn’t for anonymous sources, we wouldn’t have any government news worth reporting. When a reporter cites an anonymous source, he’s putting up his own credibility that it is valid. Some highly respected news people are quoting these anonymous sources and you’ll notice that neither Palin or McCain has come out and said that reporters are making these stories up. We all know that these are people inside the McCain putting these stories out there.
I’m not debating whether Palin was good or bad for McCain, I’m just saying I find it strange to blame the media for reporting the stories the McCain aides are putting out. I believe your anger would be better off placed at the aides feet, not the media.
As far as checks, grants, etc. One only needs to have some understanding on how these things work in academia. You invite discourse with people of differing opinions. No telling who you may meet or what a person’s background is in this climate of free association. Ayers is a professor. Should his students be excluded from public office for having ‘questionable associations’ because they took this man’s class? I mean, how far do you guys want to take this guilt by association thing? If you want to press the issue, why did Todd Palin’s link to the Alaskan secessionist group get so little ink? I say it’s an outrage!! Media cover up!! ;-)

Let me say, I think what Ayers did with the Weather Underground was despicable. I am in no way justifying him. I am arguing against guilt by association.

Tell me how much we know about Obama….
NOTHING!!!!!!!! What about Brokaw’s comments 2 days before the election? He admitted that we know nothing about Obama……
Great journalism………….
No medical transcripts. No college thesis. No real documentation. He won’t release anything. What about Michelle’s background? Barely a peep.
About anonymity… Whatever. There’s usually corroboration but there is none here. I don’t care that it’s the McCain campign. The did a horrible job and they know it.
What about the non story about troopergate and the convenient “ALL CLEAR” a day before the election?
The Wright stuff should’ve haunted Obama until the end because that guy is a RACIST. Instead, Obama tosses him under the bus and the media is OK with that. NOTHING TO SEE HERE
Please PLEASE don’t sit back and tell me you’re a true independent and then say the media wasn’t in the tank. It became a pathetic love fest and now it continues with the Palin smear.
The Ayers thing PUHLEEESE. This was more than just an academic passing. This was an ongoing association with Ayers for many years that continued after his famous comments on 9-11-2001.
What about Tony Rezko????? No investigation by the media……
Every media watchdog, conservative and LIBERAL admit that the media was in the tank for Obama.
Your guy won. Fine!!! I’m OK with that because there is nothing I can do but prepare for the next election and hold Obama’s feet to the fire. You can stop blowing smoke up his butt now and stop covering for his campaign media…….

I forgot…….
Please go into detail about Todd Palin. It seems to me it didn’t go anywhere because there was nothing to it. Kind of like Baby Trig isn’t really Sarah’s kid……….
People should not be excluded for taking an Ayers class. Was Obama excluded from running? Any questionable association SHOULD be looked into. This was obviously more than a student teacher relationship…..

The media did favor Obama and I have NO problem with it because FOX News is an extension of the Republican party. And they are the #1 rated news network. Are you gonna have an attitude because the #2 and #3 networks don’t pull for your guy too?
