Every day, the bile gets worse, with Barack Obama (who I saw in NYC today, waving out the window of a black Suburban to a handful of relatively disinterested onlookers) conducting the braying mobs with a knowing smirk.
Some of the worst has been presented by Salon:
Sarah Palin and her virtual burqa have me and my friends retching into our handbags. She's such a power-mad, backwater beauty-pageant casualty, it's easy to write her off and make fun of her. But in reality I feel as horrified as a ghetto Jew watching the rise of National Socialism.
She is dangerous. She is not just pro-life, she's anti-life. She is the suppression of human feeling and instinct. She is a slave to the compromises dictated by her own desire for power and control. Sarah Palin is untethered from her own needs and those of her family, which is in crisis, with a pregnant daughter, a son on the way to Iraq and a special-needs infant.
Celebrity Idiot #1: Deepak Chopra:
She is the reverse of Barack Obama, in essence his shadow, deriding his idealism and exhorting people to obey their worst impulses. In psychological terms the shadow is that part of the psyche that hides out of sight, countering our aspirations, virtue, and vision with qualities we are ashamed to face: anger, fear, revenge, violence, selfishness, and suspicion of "the other."
That must have made a lot of sense while you were gazing at your chakras, Deepan Pizza....
Celebrity Idiot #2: Roger Ebert:
Sarah Palin's travel record is that of a hopeless provincial. ... Palin is a shallow, chirpy person with those vaguely alarming eyeglasses. Now her fans all want a pair. Remember back when women wore glasses that departed their ears in plastic swoops and swirls? My theory is, anyone who wears glasses that look weird is telling me something I don't want to know.
Ye gads, she's provincial? Gee Roger, did you monocle fall into your champagne flute when you thought that one up?
Finally, the absolute bottom is here, so ugly I may delink it, so nasty it may wind up disappearing. If you want to see the spiritual descendants of Josef Goebbels and Dr. Mengele, the darkest part of the human heart, then go, but be it with a steel stomach (Gee, thanks Erica, for making me puke).
I'm done for now. On the eve of 9/11, I wonder if in fact that day was not also the beginning of the complete unhinging of the Left...as they saw their worldview collapse in a pile of rubble and screaming pain, unable to admit the errors of their philosophy, they instead turn to hatred and rage (primarily against their fellow Americans) to blot out the doubts.
Look for them tomorrow, celebrating the anniversary with Obama by apologizing to Muslims eveywhere for our misdeeds...

Racism, Hatred, and Baby-Killing in South Carolina
...and it is all coming from the Demcoratic side, and boy! is it ever ugly:
South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate " whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”
Fowler ...(said).... that the selection of an opponent of abortion rights would not boost McCain among many women.“Among Democratic women and even among independent women, I don’t think it helped him,” she said.
Told of McCain's boost in the new ABC/Washington Post among white women following the Palin pick, Fowler said: "Just anecdotally, I believe that those white women are Republican women anyway."
Fowler is white as well, does she feel the same loathing for herself when she looks in the mirror as I am feeling for her right now?

NY Times: The Dumb get Dumber !
Why is the New York Times in such dire financial straits? Maybe it is due to the intelligence (or lack of same) of some of their key people. Like Gail Collins, their editor of the editorial page (or as the Times proudly notes, "the first woman editor"). Upon the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidential nominee on the Republican ticket, she opined (back on 8/30):
....It’s a tad reminiscent of the Dan Quayle selection, when the first George Bush’s advisers decided they could close the gender gap with a cute running mate.
The idea that women are going to race off to vote for any candidate with the same internal plumbing is both offensive and historically wrong. When the sexes have parted company in modern elections, it’s generally been because women are more likely to be Democrats.....
Offensive? Wrong? Really....
Guess who doesn't have a clue, Gail Quayle:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain has gained huge support among white women since naming Sarah Palin as his running mate and now leads Democrat Barack Obama among those voters, according to a survey published on Tuesday.
The Washington Post/ABC News poll found that much of McCain's surge in the polls since the Republican National Convention is attributable to the shift in support among white women.
....after the Republican convention in early September, McCain was ahead by 12 points among white women, 53 percent to 41 percent, the poll found.
I think Gail is the one "offensively wrong" here...but hey, I am sure she got kudos all the way around on her way back to her Upper West Side townhouse!
UPDATE: Yup...via NRO:
Was talking to a friend of mine in New York (conservative). He had been to the playground, with his kids. Got into a conversation with some “other moms.” They said they were very, very insulted that McCain chose Palin, expecting them to vote for her. (They must be fans of Gail Quayle!)
My friend said, “Oh, don’t worry: He wasn’t expecting you to vote for her — at all. He was expecting me to vote for her, which I will.”

"Lipstick on a Pig"?
The McCain/Palin team responds:
The media was ready at 6AM with a full-throttled defense of Barack Obama, with Matt Lauer declaring it "put to bed" by 6:05AM. Ah, wishful thinking there, Matt....

Jennifer Rubin points out that lashing out with panic while still campaigning does not exactly burnish one's Commander-in-Chief bona fides - here.
And yes, of course Obama knew what he was saying - and why we can't do anything about it...
Whore
Randi Rhodes, liberal radio icon, on Air America today:
Of course he (McCain) became very friendly with the Vietnamese. They called him the Prince. He was well treated actually.
The air reeks of hatred, misogony, and desperation. Must be Fall in an election year...

Obama Implodes; Election Over !
Sarah Palin got into Barack Obama's head pretty quick; took him less than a week to crack under the pressure.
Today - in Lebanon, Va. - Obama showed his true colors; and boy, they were as ugly as we always believed them to be:
Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.
"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."
"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."
"We've had enough of the same old thing."
John McCain, war hero = old stinky fish
Sarah Palin, Governer of Alaska = pig
Can the media bail him out of this one by say, not reporting it? I don't know, it's already out there...
Way to get the woman vote, Obama! And I'll bet you just about locked up Florida, too....
America owes Sarah Palin a debt of gratitude; she may have saved our nation from whatever sick fate Barack Obama had planned for us....

Palin Smear of the Day
Dripping with liberal venom, CNN sets out to portray Palin as a religious extremist.
Pastor: GOP may be downplaying Palin's religious beliefs
For more than two decades, current Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was a practicing Pentecostal.
Some Pentecostals from Assembly of God also believe in "faith healing" and the "end times" -- a violent upheaval that they believe will deliver Jesus Christ's second coming.
But how might her religious beliefs impact policy in Washington if the Republican ticket is successful?
I have a better question - how might Barack Obama's religious beliefs impact policy in Washington if theDemocratic ticket is successful?
After all, Obama belonged to Reverend Wright's "Church of hate" until oh, say, fifteen minutes ago. Sarah Palin left her Pentecostal church over six years ago.
Doesn't matter, it's not about truth, it's about committing a high-tech rape of Ms. Palin's reputation. After all, CNN has proof of Palin's religious moonbattery:
"Pray for our military men and women who are striving do to what is right. Also for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for -- that there is a plan, and that plan is God's plan."
Wow! That's crazy! I'll bet no one in history has ever asked for God's hand to guide our troops to victory before.
...can I throw up again?

"A High-Tech Rape"
...if I may paraphrase the great Justice Clarence Thomas. That's what the media is doing to Sarah Palin, and the Democrats are gleefully jumping in for a share of the fun.
George Korda catches the AP drooling:
There is language being used by some segments of the news media toward Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that very likely wouldn’t be tolerated if she were not a Republican and a conservative.
For example, here is the lead of a Sept. 4, Associated Press story about Gov. Palin: “With a forceful speech that served as her introduction to millions of Americans on Wednesday, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin seduced many on television who had spent days doubting her candidacy.”
The use of the word “seduced” is more than interesting. The first two definitions in the Encarta Dictionary of the word seduced are:
1. Encourage somebody to have sex.
2. Lead somebody astray.
Meanwhile, Obama distorts the record, while CNN says, "Who, us? Check out the Messiah's story? Blasphemy!"
Several opponents of Palin, as well as the non-partisan factcheck.org, have noted the claim she was against the bridge is not entirely accurate — the Alaska governor was for the bridge during her 2006 gubernatorial bid, and did not begin opposing it until it became clear the project was doomed on Capitol Hill.
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton went even further Monday, calling the assertion a flat out "lie."
“Despite being discredited over and over again by numerous news organizations, the McCain campaign continues to repeat the lie that Sarah Palin stopped the Bridge to Nowhere," Burton said. "McCain and Palin will say or do anything to make people believe that they will change something besides the person sitting in the Oval Office."
And our noble Alaskan Democratic Party tries to help out the Community-Organizer- in-Chief by disappearing the evidence, contained on their own web site:
A web site paid for by the Alaska Democratic Party says unequivocally that the state of Alaska officially abandoned the Bridge to Nowhere project, and credits Governor Sarah Palin.
Or ... it used to say that, before the page mysteriously vanished some time during the past few days.
The truth, down the Democratic memory hole. Or maybe not so, if you follow some links, you can get back to the page, paid for by the Alaskan Democratic party, that states:
Gov. Palin recently cancelled the Gravina Island Bridge near Ketchikan that would have connected the Alaska mainland with Gravina Island (population: 50).
Get that, Obama? Gov. Palin recently cancelled....not with any of your help, mind you:
Sen. Biden and Sen. Obama voted for funding the Bridge, even when given a second chance by Sen. Tom Coburn, who proposed shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief.
But the truth doesn't matter at the AP, so they invent their own:
Barack Obama broadly accused his Republican rivals of dishonesty Monday, citing former lobbyists working for John McCain, Sarah Palin's shifting stance on the "Bridge to Nowhere" and their promise to change Washington.
The only stances shifting have been Obama's. And the media's.
Justice Thomas thought he knew what a high-tech lynching was back in 1991? Welcome to the 21st century, where a sadistic media and psychopathic political party have a little fun with their intended victim before stringing them up.
I feel sick.

Barack Obama in New Jersey
Stupid is as stupid does, and Barack Obama was no doubt surrounded by idiots at Bon Jovi's $30K/person fundraiser at the rocker's mansion overlooking the Navasink River. Listen to the brat whine:
“I hope you guys are up for a fight. I hope you guys are game because I haven’t been putting up with 19 months of airplanes and hotel food and missing my babies and my wife – I didn’t put up for that stuff just to come in second,” he said. “I don’t believe in coming in second. The American people can’t afford for us to come in second.”
Oh, poor Barack Obama! Sorry you had to "put up" with private jet trips, four-star hotel food, and the indignity of 19 months of shaking the hands of bitter Middle-Americans. Why, it makes the sacrifices of John McCain seems petty and small in comparison!
How noble of you - if you were not already The Messiah, you would qualify for sainthood!

Obama Calls Hillary....
....and asks her to jump on the front line and fire point-blank at Sarah Palin. We hear the conversation went something like this:
"...hey, sorry about that bitter primary thing, calling your husband racist, and the lack of campaign debt relief. Could you do me a favor and alienate a certain portion of your voters, obliterate your newfound respect from some corners of the right, and incinerate your chance to head a Democratic ticket in 2012 by making a kamikaze run at America's newest sweetheart, in order to save my tuchus? Thanks, sweetie."
I can imagine Hillary holding the phone away from her ear and grimacing in disgust, as if a drunken ex-boyfriend were making the 3AM call looking for love.
Still, she's found the Clintonesque middle ground:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton marched for labor and stumped with Democrats on Saturday, but sidestepped questions about the woman who has taken her place as the nation's most-talked-about female leader. Clinton brushed aside questions about Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin during appearances at New York City's annual Labor Day parade and later during a stop on Staten Island.
Another no-win situation for the Democrat's most high-profile female - if she campaigns hard against Palin, she loses the respect of a segment of woman voters that may support her in 2012, and she loses her ability to speak authoritatively as a voice of feminism if she is perceived as a tool of the machine that brings down Palin. If she goes in half-hearted, as it appears, an Obama loss will be laid at her feet and she loses inter-party support for a future presidential run.
Unfair? Yeah. But so is the Democratic party's treatment of woman, so blatently obvious in this election cycle. Will people wise up to this fact, or continue to scream about Republican oppression of woman while the Democrats treat them like last night's mistake?

Did the freakin' world turn upside down?
No wonder the Democrats and their media lackeys became possessed as if with demons when Sarah Palin rode over the hill...in her eyes they saw their defeat presaged:
The Republican National Convention has given John McCain and his party a significant boost, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken over the weekend shows, as running mate Sarah Palin helps close an "enthusiasm gap" that has dogged the GOP all year.
McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican's biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before the convention opened in St. Paul. Then, he lagged by 7 percentage points.
....In the new poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote.
Obama's foot soldiers are the first to fall, albiet unwillingly:
After months of accusations of political bias and simmering animosity between MSNBC and its parent network NBC, the channel decided over the weekend that the NBC News correspondent and MSNBC host David Gregory would anchor news coverage of the coming debates and election night. Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Matthews will remain as analysts during the coverage.
The change — which comes in the home stretch of the long election cycle — is a direct result of tensions associated with the channel’s perceived shift to the political left.
“The most disappointing shift is to see the partisan attitude move from prime time into what’s supposed to be straight news programming,” said Davidson Goldin, formerly the editorial director of MSNBC ....
Sarah Palin: Smiting our enemies!
Oh. For like the twelfth time: McCain...in a rout.

Sarah Palin Starring As: "The Other"
Or, "Hatred is the most powerful emotion in politics"
A clear-eyed Brit gives us his take on the Democrats, and the media's, reaction to Sarah Palin:
As a Christian, conservative anti-abortionist who proved her support for the Iraq War by sending her son to fight in it, Sarah Palin was 'the other' - the threatening alien presence they defined themselves against.
...But instead of following a measured strategy, they went berserk. On the one hand, the media treated her as a sex object. The New York Times led the way in painting Palin as a glamour-puss in go-go boots you were more likely to find in an Anchorage lap-dancing club than the Alaska governor's office.
On the other, liberal journalists turned her family into an object of sexual disgust: inbred rednecks who had stumbled out of Deliverance. Palin was meant to be pretending that a handicapped baby girl was her child when really it was her wanton teenage daughter's. When that turned out to be a lie, the media replaced it with prurient coverage of her teenage daughter, who was, after all, pregnant, even though her mother was not going to do a quick handover at the maternity ward and act as if the child was hers.
Hatred is the most powerful emotion in politics.....
And hardly the "change we've been waiting for", in my mind...
Finally, a warning to Obama, which we may be safely assured will never be heeded.
In an age when politics is choreographed, voters watch out for the moments when the public-relations facade breaks down and venom pours through the cracks. Their judgment is rarely favourable when it does. Barack Obama knows it. All last week, he was warning American liberals to stay away from the Palin family. He understands better than his supporters that it is not a politician's enemies who lose elections, but his friends.
Here's the face, incidentally, of The Most Evil Woman in America:
"The Other"
Sunday Morning Bible Selection...
...from the comments over at Roger Simon's post defining "Cultural Narcissism" (hint: not John McCain), we get a reading:
“And I looked, and behold a roaring snowmobile, and her name that sat on it was Palin, and Hell-to-Pay followed with her. And power was given unto her over the red states of the West and the South, and Ohio and Michigan, to injure the Messiah with irony, and with sarcasm, and with plain speaking like those of the red of neck who slay the beasts of the earth and mock the pharisees of Harvard and DC.”

Oprah Winfrey, Eaten Alive....
....by her own fans.
On her own message boards.
So how's that whole Sarah Palin ban working out for you, darlin'?
I'll go to Oprah's board for the answer:
The writing was on the wall when she supported obama over hillary clinton. hillary who went to china and spoke on womens rights, who has campaigned tirelessly for women and children. she picked an african american over a women.
Oprah seems to forget that women are her base, we have given her everything she has. Where would oprah be without the women of this country and the world, who would buy her magazines, watch her shows, her tv specials. You may not agree with sarah palin's politics (i do not) but the woman has a remarkable story and it deserves air time. Oprah your statement released this morning is pathetic, you are the Oprah show...as you have said many times.
You campaigned for Obama, you cried your eyelashes off at his nomination speech and you did the happy dance when he sealed the primary's after defeating hillary clinton. For years you have had women on your show speaking about how the have been affected by sexism, abuse, and other realated issues, but you have let your race and your hope for an african american president override your judgement. I'm disappointed in you and in your show.
This women (sarah palin) has endured more in the last week then any women has publicly had to endure. The media questioned is she a fit mother, can she be VP and a mother at the same time, maybe she should be home with her children. let me be clear...I do not support sarah palins politics but the treatment of her over the last week has spurred an anger in me that I didn't even know existed. Oprah you ought to be ashamed and embarrassed.
Is Oprah playing the race card by denying her show's massive female audience the opportunity for a close-up with tthe world's most talked-about woman?
Ah, it is her show, after all, and she can book whom she please (at least until Obama passes the Fairness Doctrine, ironically).
But the "race over gender" issue is all over the boards, and maybe she would be best served by quenching this fire early, and getting Palin on the show for a nice little girly chat ASAP.
Is Oprah a model businesswoman, or another liberal ideologue? Stay tuned...
On her own message boards.

Where would oprah be without the women of this country and the world, who would buy her magazines, watch her shows, her tv specials. You may not agree with sarah palin's politics (i do not) but the woman has a remarkable story and it deserves air time. Oprah your statement released this morning is pathetic, you are the Oprah show...as you have said many times.
You campaigned for Obama, you cried your eyelashes off at his nomination speech and you did the happy dance when he sealed the primary's after defeating hillary clinton. For years you have had women on your show speaking about how the have been affected by sexism, abuse, and other realated issues, but you have let your race and your hope for an african american president override your judgement. I'm disappointed in you and in your show.
This women (sarah palin) has endured more in the last week then any women has publicly had to endure. The media questioned is she a fit mother, can she be VP and a mother at the same time, maybe she should be home with her children. let me be clear...I do not support sarah palins politics but the treatment of her over the last week has spurred an anger in me that I didn't even know existed. Oprah you ought to be ashamed and embarrassed.
Is Oprah playing the race card by denying her show's massive female audience the opportunity for a close-up with tthe world's most talked-about woman?
Ah, it is her show, after all, and she can book whom she please (at least until Obama passes the Fairness Doctrine, ironically).
But the "race over gender" issue is all over the boards, and maybe she would be best served by quenching this fire early, and getting Palin on the show for a nice little girly chat ASAP.
Is Oprah a model businesswoman, or another liberal ideologue? Stay tuned...
Sarah Palin: The Beat Goes On....
....and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The more hatred is thrown at her, the more curious people get, and the more they realize the type of smear job is being perpetrated by the Democratic party and their hand puppets in the MSM.
Dr. Laura:
I’m stunned - couldn’t the Republican Party find one competent female with adult children to run for Vice President with McCain? I realize his advisors probably didn’t want a “mature” woman, as the Democrats keep harping on his age. But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth?
Hmm...why not ask Joe Biden, whose wife was killed in a car accident that left his two sons seriously injured and motherless, yet was "...persuaded not to resign in order to care for them"?
But really, who are we fooling here? The Boston Herald informs us that a woman's candidacy is not about her qualifications, it's about her looks:
With her long, straight, often pinned-up locks, Palin looks one humid day away from fronting a Kiss cover band.
“It’s about 20 years out of date,” said Boston stylist Mario Russo of the Alaska governor’s ’do. “Which goes to show how off she might be on current events.”
The Dallas Morning News is on board:
Who the heck told her to wear something that low cut? Does that really say "conservative?"
Then I noticed that it wasn't really cleavage, it was a poorly placed nude-colored stripe at the top of her dress. Other people across the blogosphere thought she was giving away the farm, too, so I'm not alone.
Nice excuse - I guess because everyone else jumped off the bridge, you are vindicated for doing the same. Personal and professional responsibility at its best...
The New York Daily News, abandoning its once middle-ground position and shifting harder and harder to the left, puts her picture and headline on today's front page screaming "Selling Sarah: Country Split on Her Credentials ".
While trumpeting the poll that claims only 42% say she is ready to lead, they bury deeper in the article results that show " 50% - have a favorable first impression of the moose-hunting governor of Alaska, compared with 37% who view he runfavorably. "
'Cause that's not the story they want out there.
They have also been kind enough to provided us with a Sarah Palin Scandal Watch, in order to keep us abreast of the latest lies cooked up by the rabid dogs of the liberal blogosphere -lies which they are eager to reprint and rehash, of course. And that page about the Barack Obama/Bill Ayers connection? Gee, it must have expired...
And the News' selection of "Letters to the Editor" today was practically Times-like in its choir of "amens" - 9 anti-Republican/anti-Palin letters, and zero letters of support.
Guess they need to put lie to that 50% approval rating....well, what else would you expect from a newspaper that moves New York's most-loathed sports columnist to the front pages to help out in the attack? Listen to how local boob Mike Lupica first describes the Palin pick:
....the people who have hijacked the last couple of presidential campaigns and have now clearly hijacked John McCain as well show how desperate the times are for them by selecting Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as McCain's running mate, someone McCain knew about as well as an online date.
McCain isn't being some kind of edgy, independent maverick here. Are you kidding? The whole thing is cynical and transparent and even sad. McCain looks bought and paid for by the same elements of his party that he is supposed to be running against as much as he runs against Obama. He uses Gov. Palin and lets his party use him at the same time. The polling on Obama must have them more scared than the new hurricane.
Ah, look at those polls lately, Lupica? Nah, it's that whole "pesky facts" issue again that the Daily News is trying to steer clear of. Lupica's close gives it away, as he vents West-of-the Hudson bile and ascribes to the Republicans his (and his employer's) true feeling about the American public:
I am in a taxi yesterday and the driver, a young African-American student, is listening to Gov. Pawlenty and Tom Brokaw on "Meet the Press," listening to Pawlenty talk about what a "maverick" McCain still is by picking Palin from Alaska, or maybe the moon.
"They still think enough of the country is stupid," the kid said.
The Republicans do, and why not? It's been working for them.
Nice.

Obama's Spiritual Twin
OK, we've been all-Sarah-Palin-all-the-time lately; time for a quick (and I mean quick) break before we head back to our regularly scheduled program....
I found this on my favorite French blog, E-nough!; it is dated August 12th but I must have missed it....it goes back to those heady early days of the Russian-Georgian War; as French President Nicolas Sarkozy traveled to Moscow to attempt to negotiate a way out of the "Caucasus Conflict".
Ah, a good try there Nic, but a bit wide right....
Anyway - as Sarkozy was en route to attempt some "Obamaplomacy", French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner gave an interview to Georgian radio, one in which he offered up the most stunning statement of moral equivalence this blogger has ever read:
'It is a war of bombing and mortars,' Kouchner said. 'There have already been numerous civilian casualties.' He refrained, however, from condemning the latest Russian bombing. M. Kouchner:
"I condemn, I can no longer hear both sides."
Kouchner will find much to talk about with young Obama, should he ascend to the throne he feels so rightfully is his. For Kouchner's diplomatic stylings will soon be indistinguishable from our own...

Sarah Palin: Banned by Oprah?
As per Drudge:
Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America -- but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket...
"Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on," an insider explains. "Oprah's website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama."
One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!
Last year, Winfrey blocked an appearance by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, timed to a promotional tour of his autobiography....
Oprah and executive producer Sheri Salata, who has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama's campaign, refused requests for comment.
Well, if the Democrats ever get their "Fairness Doctrine", Oprah is going to have to book the likes of Palin, by government decree. Sucker!!
Well, The Daytime Queen is now exposed as just another MSM whore, on her knees in front of the Messiah, and it seems as if even her viewers know it. Over at Volokh, they do the research, and to me it seems to point out that the media isn't even bothering to "spin" anymore, they are just outright lying to protect The Undeserving One:
If one compares Palin’s speech to Obama’s, it appears to me that they used similar amounts of sarcasm (not much), but Obama made considerably more extensive negative comments about McCain and Republican administrations than Palin did about Obama and Democrats. Palin’s negative comments, however, were on balance funnier, better written, and more pointed than Obama’s.
Jim adds:
By continuing to spread false memes about the nature of Sarah Palin's speech as if they were true, the press marches forward in the most biased season of political reporting I've seen since at least 1998.
With the race a virtual tie, in polling done before McCain's speech, you know this is going to get way, way uglier in the next sixty days. Can the media pull itself back from the brink?
It may be too late for Us magazine; apparently thousands are cancelling their subscriptions to Jan Wenner’s weekly celeb rag over its “Babies, Lies & Scandals” cover slamming Sarah Palin:
I’m hearing it’s 5,000, maybe more,” says one well-placed source in the industry. Another source claimed that as many as 10,000 readers have already cancelled their subscriptions....
When Us went to print Monday night, it looked like the ticket was falling apart," says one magazine editor. “They went to print thinking Palin was dead in the water, and their mistake was thinking everyone who reads "Us" is a Democrat, when they’re not.
A mistake, I believe, that is being repeated ad naseum....

How that Sarah Palin bashing actually worked out....
We asked that question, quite tounge-in-cheek, yesterday.
Today we have the answer, with tounge no longer firmly implanted in cheek, but with jaw wide open:
The Associated Press reports that, counting PBS, over 40 million Americans watched Sarah Palin on television last night--more, by around two million, than saw Barack Obama in Denver.
A big shout-out and special thanks to the asswipes on the liberal blogs, and to their lapdogs in the mainstream media who couldn't wait to reprint and rebroadcast their hatred and lies.
We couldn't have gotten the message out without you!

Little Known Fact
.....Sarah Palin is the reason compasses point North.
Todd Palin knows these facts, and more:
"If I’d had a crystal ball a few years ago, I might have asked a few more questions when Sarah decided to join the PTA. It wouldn’t have mattered, though; when my wife starts talking about reform, corruption and making government work for the people, it’s just best to get out of the way."

So how's that Sarah Palin bashing working out for you now?
A tour de force last night from the Lady Up North, who gained legions of fans and made fools of the media in one fell swoop. From Roger Simon:
In all my years writing movies, going to drama school, etc., I have almost never seen anything so dramatic. It was the rebirth of Frank Capra for our times - Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington. This woman is a star and a star of the American kind we have not seen for years. She really is born live from a Capra movie, from the days Hollywood told stories about the greatness of our country. I don’t agree with her about with her about everything but so what? I don’t agree with anybody about everything except, luckily for me, my wife. But Sarah Palin is a force of nature.
The big losers tonight are obvious: Joe Biden, who will look like hackopathropus erectus next to her, a dinosaur out the Washington everybody hates, and Hillary Rodham Clinton who, I would bet anything, was staring at her television set in horror tonight at the possible first woman president of the United States - and it’s not her!
Mark Steyn gives credit where credit is due:
I would like to thank the US media for doing such a grand job this last week of lowering expectations by portraying Governor Palin - whoops, I mean Hick-Burg Mayor Palin - as a hillbilly know-nothing permapregnant ditz, half of whose 27 kids are the spawn of a stump-toothed uncle who hasn't worked since he was an extra in Deliverance.
How's that narrative holding up, geniuses? Almost as good as your "devoted husband John Edwards" routine?
Barack Obama, welcome to your nightmare.....
And more and more facts about Sarah Palin are coming to light:
-The diamonds in Sarah Palin’s earrings were crushed with her very hands.
-Glasses sales are up 150 percent since Sarah palin became nominee.
-It’s not over until Sarah Palin says it’s over.
More reasons to fear Sarah Palin are here....

Palin and the Jews
Look at the window; notice the little flag that Governor Palin has stuck there.....
Another reason for the media's fear and loathing of Sarah Palin....can she actually pull a few Jewish votes off of the Obama bandwagon?
And yet another reason for the Demcrats, they of the anti-semitic dog whistle, to fear and loathe Ms. Palin as well.
And yet another display of her refreshing honesty, and "newness" - she doesn't need to have an Israeli flag in her office; the Jewish population of Alaska is negligible, and it is unlikely she has any fundraisers among the big-time Jewsih groups that she feels she must impress.
No, the flag is there because she believes in the nation of Israel, and its rightousness. And I believe this woman with a penchant for automatic weapons will do everything in her power to protect this tiny nation, unlike a certain other party that cannot wait to throw it under the grinding gears of the Arab bus....
OK, OK, so I have a bit of a crush going on here. But loving Sarah Palin is...."Right"!
"Sneering" at Sarah Palin
Gee, a slightly less-than-positive response to the Sarah Palin VP pick by the Left and their lapdogs in the mainstream media, huh?
The Wall Street Journal has it diagnosed right today:
Even as the Obama camp ponders how best to handle John McCain's veep pick of Sarah Palin, the high priests and priestesses of the media have marked her as an apostate. The Beltway class is in full-throated rebellion against a nondomesticated conservative who might pose a threat to their coronation of Barack Obama and the return of Camelot-on-the-Potomac...
They want a VP to be a kind of parliamentary choice, someone they have already vetted, someone who's made them laugh with insider jokes at the Gridiron dinner...
What's really going on here is that the Beltway class can see how popular the Palin pick is with Republicans outside Washington, and especially with middle-class conservatives....
And what the WSJ does not say (but should) to that last point is, "...so they are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at her in order to stop her ascent in middle-America's consciousness". That "everything" includes sexism and regionalism, which I am just now learning is a hate crime when used against Democrats, but fine and dandy as a weapon against Republican women.
Over at The Plank, there is fair warning posted to the Democrats:
She's just a small town mayor, just a hockey mom, just a beauty pageant queen. Palin has never shunned these belittling monikers, in part, I imagine, because the camouflage has served her so well. Soothed by the litany, her opponents tend to sleep too late, sneer too much, and forget who it is that hires them.
....what the Democrats seem poised to miss now--is that she is a true political savant; a candidate with a knack for identifying the key gripes of the populace and packaging herself as the solution. That keen political nose has enabled her to routinely outperform her resume. Nearly two years into her administration, she still racks up approval ratings of 80 per cent or better.
But in probing this candidate, it would behoove the Democrats and the pundits to shed the notion that they are dealing with some dimwitted bumpkin (Dan Quayle seems to come up a lot lately) who’s going to start crying when they ask her to name the president of Azerbaijan; or that Palin is the townie who was brought into the Skull & Bones initiation night for the amusement of all; or that somehow the prom queen ballots got mixed up with the Alaska gubernatorial poll. Trivialize her at your own peril.
Sarah Palin is a living reminder that the ultimate source of political power in this country is not the Kennedy School or the Davos Summit or an Ariana Huffington salon; even now, power emanates from the electorate itself. More precisely, power in 2008 emanates from the working class electorates of Pennsylvania and Ohio...
The media is going to be faced with its disconnect shortly: Bash Sarah for "inexperience", and you need to then explain what Obama has done better. Compare her to a latter-day Quayle (despite the fact she has not committed gaffe one), and you have to face up to Obama's "57 states" and his many, many other verbal faux paus. Question her devotion to her family and you raise the ugly spectre of misogyny, which will only drive those middle class woman to throw their bodies in front of her, and cast their vote for her. You want to bring up the so-called Alaskan "troopergate scandal"? Fine, let's talk Bill Ayers as well.....
This media line of attack on Sarah Palin is hurting Obama more than helping him, but their partisanship and sheer distaste for the Republican party is making them blind as well as stupid. But please, don't stop on my account.
Again: McCain/Palin. In a rout....

"Palin Porn"
Well, that's what they are calling the mad search for pictures of the lovely Governor (and soon to be Vice President) Sarah Palin. So let me add my modest contribution, below:
In Kuwait; with grateful troops....
Not her bike; I checked - part of a raffle giveaway for veterans. Fetching, still....
Enough said.
As the naughty librarian.
No suprise, this.....
More Palin fun here and here....
Go ahead, MSM, try to bring the lady down...I dare ya!
"Balance" at the BBC...
...means putting the worst light on anything that can even possibly be beneficial to the Republicans; and in this case, feminism goes by the wayside, as Sarah Palin Must Be Destroyed:McCain unveils 'The Barracuda'
Nice. Bet the Dems wish they headlined their press releases with that one. Still, no matter, the BBC does dutifully repeat the Democrat's talking points:
As commander of the Alaska National Guard, she visited troops in Kuwait last year, but has a very thin foreign policy background.
Similarly, while she does have executive experience, the Obama campaign wryly pointed out she had been the mayor of a town with just 9,000 people.
Palin's one visit (pics here) to Kuwait is equal, I believe, to candidate Obama's one visit - which was more of a stopover on his "terrorist listening tour" of earlier this summer. As per news reports, this paragon of leadership "shook hands, answered questions, posed for photos and played a little basketball during the (two hour) visit."
And the BBC is the only one who described the "mayor" slur as "wry"; even Barack Obama backpedaled away from that meme ASAP. Is the BBC further to the left than the Democratic Party? Or is it they just can't stand to see a woman ascend to power without constantly reminding her to "know her place"?
Hat tip to Biased BBC, who will no doubt keep us informed of how the British government's media arm is twisting the election news from the States....
Maybe somebody out to wise up the BBC to a few important Sarah Palin facts:
Sarah Palin begins every day with a moment of silence for the political enemies buried in her yard.
And perhaps someone should whisper this sweet reminder into Howard Dean's ear:
Sarah Palin always beats the point spread....

Friday Metaphors
From the LA Times:
Daytime talk show diva and billionaire businesswoman Oprah Winfrey, who played a crucial early primary role in raising the prominence of her fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama, was so moved by her man's Democratic acceptance speech Thursday night that she cried off her false eyelashes.
Apt !

Madonna: Shilling for McCain?
Well, of course not. But her immature antics are so over the top that it reminds me of the celebrity behavior that started to drive more folks towards Bush in 2004:
John McCain's campaign hit back at Madonna on Sunday after the pop diva kicked off her world tour with a concert that bracketed the US presidential candidate with Adolf Hitler.
McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds angrily condemned the segment of Madonna's concert in Cardiff on Saturday that appeared to draw a comparison between McCain, Hitler and Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe.
"The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time," Bounds said in a statement reported by Fox News.
"It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits."
Madonna's apparent swipe at McCain came during a performance of the song "Get Stupid", when the Republican contender's image was flashed up alongside images of destruction and global warming as well as Hitler and Mugabe.
As opposed to her juxtapositioning the Messiah with...:
Towards the end of the song, pictures of Beatles star John Lennon, former US vice-president Al Gore, Indian Mahatma Gandhi and McCain's Democrat rival Barack Obama appeared.
Is this election going to be about "change", as Obama and the media are trying to dictate? No, John McCain has already co-opted the dialogue - Eection 2008 is going to be about celebrity, and who's got less of it.
When the call comes at 3 AM, do you really want the President to send it to voice mail because he is texting sweet nothings to Scarlett Johansson?

The Democrat's Dog Whistle
If Barack Obama isn't enough of a peek through the window of the soul of the Democratic party, check out the Baseball Crank, who finds a webpage - proudly paid for by the Democratic National Committee - on potential McCain running mate Eric Cantor.
Did you know he's Jewish?
Don't worry, you will, because the DNC will somehow manage to bring it up five times in a 660 word piece.
Wonder who that dog whistle is for?

Obama hearts Ayers...
....and at least someone is talking about it:
Go visit The American Issue Project to get more info on the Weather Underground and Ayer's history of radical tactics and extreme violence.
Meanwhile, in one of the greatest acts of moral equivalency seen since Jimmy Carter last visited the Mideast, Obama is comparing the American army preserving a struggling new democracy in Iraq to the Russian army raping a struggling new democracy in Eastern Europe. Via Gateway Pundit:
Democrat Barack Obama scolded Russia again on Wednesday for invading another country’s sovereign territory while adding a new twist: the United States, he said, should set a better example on that front, too.
The Illinois senator’s opposition to the Iraq war, which his comment clearly referenced, is well known. But this was the first time the Democratic presidential candidate has made a comparison between the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Russia’s recent military activity in Georgia.
“We’ve got to send a clear message to Russia and unify our allies,” Obama told a crowd of supporters in Virginia. “They can’t charge into other countries. Of course it helps if we are leading by example on that point.”
Of course! Like all of the world's problems, it's America's fault the Russians tore their newly liberated neighbors a new *sshole!
Just the kind of thinking you'd expect from a Friend of Bill(Ayers).
The fact, incidentally, that the Democrats nominated this man as their standard-bearer says a lot more about the Democrats' standards than it does about the man. We now know Obama, hence his plummeting poll numbers. But if he is simply emblematic of the Democratic party as a whole, well, then, it is a party that has revealed its soul.
And, like all self-loathers, it is an ugly one.

"McCain. In A Rout"
Yeah, we said that, yesterday.
Hope we called it first; 'cause the numbers are starting to swing, and swing fast: For the first time since RealClearPolitics has been drawing its 2008 election map, John McCain has the 270+ needed to win the election. With leaners, but still.....even Zogby (a notoriously pro-Democratic pollster) has McCain up by six.
And this is going into the Democratic Convention, mind you, with the VP intrigue and the anticipated Amphitheater coronation and the Great Uniting....
Man, if you thought the Democrats were frustrated the last two cycles, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Maybe this time, though, some of them will actually move to Canada, instead of just talking about it....

Watcha Hiding, Baracky?
Some much for the era of "open governemnt", or perhaps..."What's Barack's Secret?"
....the public cannot get access to paperwork related grants distributed by then-state-legislator Obama (records from 1997 to 2000 aren't available); his state legislative office records (which he says may have been thrown out); he refuses to release a specific list of law clients, instead giving a list of all of his firm's clients, numbering several hundred each year; he won't release his application to the state bar (where critics wonder if he lied in responding to questions about parking tickets and past drug use); he’s never released any legal or billing records to verify that he only did a few hours of work for a nonprofit tied to convicted donor Rezko; and he's never released any medical records, just a one-page letter from his doctor.
Now the University of Illinois at Chicago is denying Stanley Kurtz access to documents relating to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a small foundation, founded and inspired by Bill Ayers, for which Obama served as board chairman.
McCain, folks. In a rout, come November...
The writing on the wall here...

More Anti-Semitism From Fat D-List Pseudo-Celebrity
Yup, Roseanne Barr is back in the news - for a swipe at Brad and Angelina. Who gives a f*ck, you say? Well, her attack on Angelina focuses on her dad's (Jon Voight) recent coming-out as a Hollywood conservative (gutsy!), and Roseanne Barr leaps for the jugular like the filthy old dog that she is, and inadvertantly (?) vomits out the trendy "neocon/Jew" connection:
"[Jon Voight] is a frightened little girl in a pink ballet tutu, who acts like Obama just wandered in from the rain forest with a bone thru his nose and a communist pamphlet in his loincloth. The neocons who own jon voight and make him dance on the chabad telethons are the worst most elitist people on earth. glen beck and jon voight are their bitches... both of them are used tampons who must be flushed down the toilet immediately! jon voight your evil spawn angelina jolie and her vacuous hubby brad pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more. (just sayin')."
Chabad is a form of Lubavitch Judaism:
The founder of the Chabad thought system, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, developed an intellectual system and approach to Judaism intended to answer criticisms of Hasidism as anti-intellectual.
Sigh...it's always about the evil Jews, even in Hollywood....
I'd kick this hate-filled b*tch in the crotch, but I'd hate to ruin the good shine on my shoes....
Past instances of Rosie's anti-Semitic outbursts here, here, and here....

Barack Obama Bemoans Pesky American "Democracy" and its Bitter Inhabitants...
Seems like whenever St. Barack goes to San Francisco, he gets a bit unhinged. Remember bitterness, God, and guns? This time it's that annoying habit of allowing people in this country to actually, you know, vote for their leadership that's getting under his thin skin:
“I will win. Don’t worry about that,” he said to the crowd of about 1,300 at his third event of the evening, according to the pool report. He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."
"Now, you want to win. And saying it doesn’t make it so," he told the crowd. "It would be nice to think that after eight years of economic disaster, after eight years of bungled foreign policy, of being engaged in a war that should never have been authorized and should never have been waged, that cost us a trillion dollars and thousands of lives, that people would say, let’s toss the bums out. Toss the bums out, we’re starting from scratch, we’re starting over. This is not working."
“So I understand why a lot of folks are saying, this should just happen. Why are we having to run all these television commercials? Why do we have to raise all this money? Just read the papers. These are the knuckleheads who have been in charge. Throw ‘em out.
But American politics aren’t that simple," he said."The fact of the matter is, at a certain point, when government has not been serving the people for this long, people get cynical. They tune out. And they start saying to themselves, a plague on both your houses. They are willing to consume negative information more frequently than positive information, for good reason. They’ve seen how promises haven’t been kept," he said.
Ah. So the reason we are not willing to raise The Chosen One on our shoulders and carry him to his rightful throne is because we are...wait for it...bitter!
Because we haven't been served enough by government, by the way.
I don't know what, exactly, this country would look like after four years of Democratic control with Obama at the helm.
I just know it wouldn't look like America.

Barack Obama: Anti-Christ!
Well, if you see it on the web, it must be true, right?
Especially if the National Review is making the reference (even if it is only to point out that the media blames "sinister GOP operatives " for the, ahem, rumors).
So I did some digging - how would we know this AntiChrist should he walk the earth - and unearthed some startling coincidences:
Antichrist goes about his business by speaking the lie... Revelation 13:12 says, "and he spoke as a dragon...." Revelation 17 tells us that he was a false prophet, a prophet being one whose calling it is to speak and to teach... In his initial attempts to destroy the cause of God, the devil used a serpent to deceive the woman with crooked speech: "You will be like God." Now he uses a "dragon" who speaks crafty, lying words.
His speeches will be heard by millions who will hang on his persuasive rhetoric. The content as well as the form of his speech will attract. Like most false prophets, he will even be sincere and passionate. But he is a liar. He adds dashes of truth to the mix, so that his lie tastes like truth. He will use all the right catchwords, using the language of the church, even throwing in a Bible text or two. But he is the ultimate Liar, and will deceive many.
He will use every tool available: school teachers, politicians, news broadcasters, artists, musicians, scientists and doctors, lawyers and businessmen. All will be pressed into the service of Antichrist to deceive men....
Wow!
"Persuasive rhetoric"; "the Ultimate Liar"; "news broadcasters"!
I know someone else who is gettng persuaded....anyway, here's more:
The Antichrist--also described in the Bible as the "son of perdition" & the "beast"!
.... he will have great charisma & speaking ability, "a mouth speaking great things".
The Antichrist will rise to power on a wave of world euphoria, as he temporarily saves the world from its desperate economic, military & political problems with a brilliant 7-year plan for world peace, economic stability & religious freedom.
"World euphoria", huh? Hello, Berlin....
There's a dedicated website, which banners itself thusly:
...he has risen up out of no where, he mesmerizes crowds, people are gathering in huge numbers, he is likely becoming the next President of the United States. Do not look only to what I say, but look to your Bibles...
And people have been postulating on the whole Obama/Satan thing since 2004; when many eyes first alit upon The One at the Democratic Convention:
...When I first heard of Barak, a few days ago, the first thing I heard is that he is a guy who came out of nowhere and now many flock to his side. When my wife and I heard this, we both thought the same thing, the anti-christ....
....While I was watching him, the VERY FIRST thought that came to my mind was asking the Lord if I was looking at the AC. ....
...He has an eerie magnetism...I'm going with my gut on this one. My sister and I both feel something "spooky" about this guy, but can't quite figure out what it is.
My favorite- same thread:
....If he turns out to not be the antichrist, then his message is a good thing.
Well, this whole thing bears following, folks - even if Snopes claims that the rumors are "false"...
But finally - I'm down with this guy's conclusion:
But until someone gives me a reasonable explanation for his popularity, I'm going to leave the door to this thought open, just a crack...
Yeah. I'm still waiting for that explanation, by the way...
UPDATE: "Get yer Obama-is-the-antichrist T-shirts here!"
UPDATE II: Go here, and see how the media is blaming the Republicans for the fact that the Democrats nominated the spawn of Satan...

Obama: On America....
"The Republic is no longer what it once was."
Well, one can certainly argue that...
Hey!
Barack Obama didn't say that - Emperor Palpatine did! (Star Wars, episode III - "The Revenge of the Sith")
Oh, wait....here's Obama's quote:
"America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don't want that future for my children."
One can understand my confusion, I hope.
This, in answer to a little girl's question as to why Obama wanted to be president.
Speaks volumes.
See it here: "Obama: America Sucks, and Only I Can Save It"....
