Title: Palin calls attacks 'cruel' and 'cowardly'

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called former aides of Sen. John McCain "jerks" for circulating unflattering stories about her since the Republican ticket lost its bid for the White House Tuesday.

Sources close to John McCain say Sarah Palin was denied a chance to speak at McCain's concession address.

The stories, which have been attributed to unnamed sources within the McCain campaign, include claims that Palin did not know Africa was a continent instead of a country, or which countries are part of the North American Free Trade Agreement, despite touting her familiarity with neighboring Canada.

Speaking with CNN's Gary Tuchman after returning to Alaska, Palin speculated those stories may have originated with campaign staffers who helped her prepare for her debate with Democratic Vice President-elect Joe Biden.

"Those were taken out of context and that's cruel," Palin said. "It's mean-spirited. It's immature. It's unprofessional and those guys are jerks if they came away with it, taking things out of context, and then tried to spread something on national news."

One source involved in preparing Palin for interviews and the vice-presidential debate told CNN "she had not paid attention to a single policy debate that's gone on in this country for 10 years."

Palin told Tuchman she remembers having conversations about NAFTA and Africa during her preparations, but that the stories about her "are not true." She said it was "cowardly" for staffers to make claims about her anonymously.

"It's not fair and it's not right." Watch CNN's Gary Tuchman's interview with Palin »

Two McCain sources said they were furious about Palin's supposed call Saturday with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, which turned out to be a prank by two radio DJs.

A source close to Palin told CNN that she had prepared to deliver a concession speech Tuesday night, and expected to address the crowd at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, Arizona.

Several sources told CNN that McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt told Palin no, in part because of built-up anger among some McCain aides who say Palin had become more interested in her own future than in McCain's election. Palin denies that claim. Watch what's being said about Palin »

There have also been reports of a somewhat distant relationship between McCain and his running mate.

"This is so unfortunate and, quite honestly, sickening," Palin aide Meghan Stapleton said Thursday in a written statement.

"The accusations we are hearing and reading are not true, and since we deny all these anonymous allegations, there is nothing specific to which we will respond. Watch more about the infighting »

"We have the highest regards for Sen. John McCain. Gov. Palin was honored to be chosen as McCain's running mate. And as governor of Alaska, Gov. Palin looks forward to working with President-elect Obama on securing energy independence for America."

On Election Day, Palin denied there was tension. Once back in Alaska, she said she would not respond to individual accusations. Watch Palin discuss the controversy »

"I won't comment on anyone's gossip or allegations that are based on anonymous sources," she said. "That's kind of a small, evidently bitter type of person, who would anonymously charge something foolish like that -- that I perhaps didn't know an answer to a question. So until I know who was talking about it, I won't have a comment on false allegations."

In response to the allegations that she was ill-prepared for interviews and debate, Randy Scheunemann, an aide assigned to Palin, called her "brilliant" and said she has a "photographic memory."

Despite the acrimony, many McCain aides say they are sad the campaign team dissolved so quickly.

Nobody forced her to hitch her wagon to the John McStain campaign. I now wonder if her stand on illegal immigration was even her thought or if it was what she was ordered to say by McStain campaign hacks.

She had already been zinged for a reporter asking her regarding a quote about her, when the sonofabitch took what was said completely out of context and was NOT about her but reporter did his best to make it to be!

So I don't blame her for knocking these 'anonymous' sources..........dirty rotten bastards can't stand up and be a man or a woman and make such allegations! And that goes for either side of the aisle. And works real well for sleaze factors like the national inquirier or star or whatever other yellow rags are out there.

Just like the media whores tried to imply that SHE was out shopping at Saks 5th Avenue, and such, and spent $150,000.......stoopid rotten bastards were too friggin lazy OR WERE DELIBERATELY TRYING TO SLAM HER to find out or state who actually purchased the clothing, or that several sizes were purchased, or that the purchasing was done by the rnc!

Funny how we all hate the media, but yet get a real bug up our arses and eat up and spout out crap that just might or might seem to back up how we feel about something or someone.

That is true. I noticed the same thing, in myself and in others. THat would make an interesting debate topic.

I dont know enough about the allegations to say one way or another if they were true or not. I didn't have a dog in this fight so I didnt check things out like I would have if I cared.

Palin is a hateful, sick, racist, power hungry whore! Nothing more. The Republican party should be embarassed but since it was taken over by the Trostky communists in the 80s during the Reagan years it is no surprise they would select her and the Manchurian Candidate to be their representatives. I never thought I would say this but the Republican Party has made the Democrats look like the saviors of America. The Republican Party has become all that is wrong in America. These pigs have made me wish I had voted for Obama instead of Ron Paul just to spite them.

Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama

Sarah Palin's attacks on Barack Obama's patriotism provoked a spike in death threats against the future president, Secret Service agents revealed during the final weeks of the campaign.

Palin's tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists Photo: Reuters

The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.

The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.

But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.

The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks.

Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset that she turned to her friend and campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett and said: "Why would they try to make people hate us?"

The revelations, contained in a Newsweek history of the campaign, are likely to further damage Mrs Palin's credentials as a future presidential candidate. She is already a frontrunner, with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, to take on Mr Obama in four years time.

Details of the spike in threats to Mr Obama come as a report last week by security and intelligence analysts Stratfor, warned that he is a high risk target for racist gunmen. It concluded: "Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. We would expect federal authorities to uncover many more plots to attack the president that have been hatched by white supremacist ideologues."

Irate John McCain aides, who blame Mrs Palin for losing the election, claim Mrs Palin took it upon herself to question Mr Obama's patriotism, before the line of attack had been cleared by Mr McCain.

That claim is part of a campaign of targeted leaks designed to torpedo her ambitions, with claims that she did not know that Africawas a continent rather than a country.

The advisers have branded her a "diva" and a "whack job" and claimed that she did not know which other countries are in the North American Free Trade Area, (Canada and Mexico). They say she spent more than $150,000 on designer clothes, including $40,000 on her husband Todd and that she refused to prepare for the disastrous series of interviews with CBS's Katie Couric.

In a bid to salvage her reputation Mrs Palin came out firing in an interview with CNN, dismissing the anonymous leakers in unpresidential language as "jerks" who had taken "questions or comments I made in debate prep out of context."

She said: "I consider it cowardly. It's not true. That's cruel, it's mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional and those guys are jerks if they came away taking things out of context and then tried to spread something on national news that's not fair and not right."

She was not asked about her incendiary rhetoric against Mr Obama. But she did deny the spending spree claims, saying the clothes in question had been returned to the Republican National Committee. "Those are the RNC's clothes, they're not my clothes. I asked for anything more than maybe a diet Dr Pepper once in a while. These are false allegations."

Speaking as she returned to her native Alaska, Mrs Palin claimed to be baffled by what she claims was sexism on the national stage. "Here in Alaska that double standard isn't applied because these guys know that Alaskan women are pretty tough, on a par with the men in terms of being outdoors, working hard," she said.

"They're commercial fishermen, they're pilots, they're working up on the North slopein the oil fields. You see equality in Alaska. I think that was a bit of as surprise on the national level."

I didn't have a dog in it either, PSUSA. But I just get really pissed when the media starts all this friggin 'anonymous' source crap. I wish I could remember the full story and the 'quote' that the bastard alleged reporter asked her about........its like the gotcha game where they get you to give an answer and when you do even that is taken out of context for an 8 second sound bite where mankind will never heard the other 52 seconds of the response.

Its along the same line of the doofus guys up in Canada pretending to be the frenchie leader. Hells bells--what would one expect--her to tell him to "go screw yourself frenchie"!

Its all about image to the sheeple......and you certainly saw where virtually nothing that the big O did that was or could be considered a gaffaw seeing the mainstream attack dogs out in force. It took from January to very, very late October, early November for the 'coal bankruptcy' comments to be put out in the open air---naturally, too late to have made hay out of it.

Ditto on his reverend--I guarantee you they will try their damnest to make Billy Graham look like a racist for not meeting up with the big O, even though Graham is a democrat, and is at deaths' door.

A stake should be driven through the heart of virtually every newspaper and every television network for how badly they've served the public which has assented to their having a special place and rules in our society.

I would imagine the 'secret service' sources are anonymous, too.

Any idea of how many death threats are issued against each candidate over the last 40 - 50 years?

And exactly who told someone in the media what Michelle said to her best friend?

She was the only thing the mccain campaiagn had going.........she was revving up crowds.

The shit, and it is shit, about her speaking is what caused the skinhead types to become unhinged is more bullshit. THEY don't need any reason or any excuse to be the way they are-- they are misfits, trash, and one on one are cowardly.

As I see it, they're trying to knock her down, so that 4 or 8 years from now there is no way for her to become a part of the national stage. They can because of the bullshit cited now at that time dredge up 'the past' so it can be held against her.

Even today there are people who think the Clintons stole the WH silverware and that there were WMD in Iraq just waiting to be tossed our way! And they'll tell you the president said so........while conveniently forgetting OR not even bothering to keep up to day that he has also said it wasn't true.

And as for calling people 'whores'........that is pretty despicable, especially considering you don't know it for a fact. The whole election and campaigning crap has reached the point that it brings out the worst in people, with the endless and mindless name-calling, etc. It is only an election for a change in government direction----it isn't the taking away of your left arm or something equally precious. People can disagree and still manage to not HATE.

Both sections of the system see Palin as a future threat. Why???

If Palin would shuck the republican party and strike out on her own that would aim a dagger at the heart of the system. Thus this united and concerted effort to destroy her based on gender.

I rather like the idea of who she's sleeping with. That old saying about 'lay down with dogs and get up with fleas'....her husband doesn't seem to have too many bad ideas if his belonging to the AIP is a hint.

While Alaska is civilized, there is still a large degree of 'pioneering' spirit there--the do it yourself, take responsibility element.

Its sounds like they're not afraid of work, and take chances, and like independence and freedom......perhaps he'll rub off on her if there are some that don't think she's so hot (the dog and flea story).

Perhaps at some point it will come out that she took the chance at the vp slot in order to become known on the national stage, and not that she liked everything/anything about mccain.

Furthermore, with her being in politics, and his having been involved with the American Independent party, they have to be aware of the chances a 3rd party run has. I don't believe either of them are dumb.

They are cruel and cowardly.. And allot of them are coming from the McCain campaign staff who are nothing but a bunch of craven wankers trying to cover their own asses after "managing" a throughly botched mess of re-invention's du jour.

Blaming Palin, a political neophyte from a state that is, to put it politely, quite dissimilar to the lower 48, for being herself is beyond absurd. They picked her, now they're tossing her under the bus because she failed to be something she is not.. Forgetting that she was hum strung out of the gate with McCain's ridiculous platform and the millstone of 8 years of George W Bush.

What folks should remember about these jerks isn't the horrible campaign they ran, it's this after the fact smear campaign. The message is clear: Don't hire them... Ever. If you hire them and you lose, they'll knife you. Find someone else!

Yes..........and it is a possibility I've thought of from the get/go when I found out that Todd had been a member of the American Independent party, and initially the media had tried to paint her as a member.

These two are not dumb people. And they come from a state where people have to be independent and take responsibility, and value these and freedom.

She may well have taken the change on getting her name on the national level at this time. The actions of all the 'anonymous' sources, not to mention the media bastards appear to be a deliberate attempt to have 'fodder' for a future smear campaign.

The very thot of Palin striking out on her own brings fear to the hearts of the good ole boy pubs that are jockeying for position.

Palin's 2 speeches and debate performance are 3 of the only things i listened to in entirety during this whole show. from all I noted I conclude that it's wishful thinking to believe she is not a neocon. this is the one who said iraq war is "God's plan". Not hard to condlude the word KOOK from there. also i noticed she relayed several times the notion that we should thank the troops 'for our freedoms'., which is more b.s., they certainly dont give us our freedoms and dont protect them either. so even if palin is well intentioned, which she may be, shes not on the right track.

its irrelevant anyway because if someone was good and didnt go along, theyd be removed from power.

You are painting with a pretty broad brush up there, but I'll give you this. You're half right.

I'd fight for the people in this country.. Eve die for them.

I refuse to fight for a pipeline or a corporation, however. I think allot of people feel the same way.. In fact, I haven't seen the US military defend us against anything in the entire time I've been alive..

While this says nothing about those who served and their motivations, it is a terrible indictment of their leadership.

Look........Cyni fought in the Spanish American War! :) [edit: to insert a smily face to signify a 'funny'--and not the truth cause he ain't THAT old!].Where were you when he needed you?

This has nothing to do with who has fought in which war for what cause, or why it was fought, or where it was fought.

This is about a woman who ran for the VICE PRESIDENCY.

That you think it is racist to point out who a candidate hangs out with is your problem, not hers. Ditto for a certain minister and his comments against America. That doesn't make her a racist, for cryin out loud! You're known by the company you keep. You hang out with a bunch of drunks and folks will think you're one, too. Hang out in a queer lounge and folks will think you're queer, too. Hang out with a terrorist and folks SHOULD think you're aligned with them, too.

However, over half the nation WAS RACIST in this election.....but it wasn't Sarah Palin or her fault.

Ask yourself......remember the Clinton days when all the blacks hung around him and with him--in fact the saying was that he was the first black president? Now, here just a few years later, and after years and years of still pandering to the black community, the black community, tossed Bil and Hil over in a heartbeat. Why was that? There was a BLACK man running. Plain and simple. They were racists. After all, she had a hell of a lot more experience than he; she certainly had more name recognition; better funded; and was essentially the big cheese in the dem party.

Your complaint/bitch about Sarah Palin is totally unjustified.

Artisan, I honestly didn't think much of her, but the longer this unwarranted bashing goes on, the more I hope she changes a few core positions and comes back like a lion. W/O the yoke of McCain and the R-party, for that matter, she might be capable of being a national 3rd party leader. As Rowdee mentioned her husband had been associated with the AIP, which seems solid. I can't think of any other reason - except that she represents danger - that she's still the object of hate (except in the case of ugly women who are jealous)):

I am tired of people just sitting back playing games and whining while our country is destroyed. If I see Obama do anything remotely close to the damage the neocons have done to our country I will raise just as much hell about him and what he did as I have done since the 80s. I have no desire to be politically correct and I am damned tired of people refusing to stand up for America and speak out against those who have done things to seriously damage it.

Right now I am as angry as hell about it and if not speaking out against it means being politically correct, polite and friendly then I don't want to have anything to do with those things. Our country is being destroyed and it's about time we start shooting those who do are doing it.

Clintons are anti-American neocons just like the rest of that bunch. The only reason Clinton got into the whitehouse was because bush sr was terrified that the truth about Iraq and what his and Reagan's administration did would come out. America began to go downhill starting with Johnson and it hasn't looked back since. I'm tired of the gutting of our rights and liberties, the intentional destruction of our economy (and yes I got it from the horses mouth that the economy is pushed into recessions to "reward the wealthy for having had to pay and sacrifice to make the economy strong" (Senator Paul Laxalt told me that to my face while he was visiting his daughter who was my next door neighbor).

Tell ya what........as it regards Gods plans......nothing happens by chance in this world, IMO. The Bible contains many stories of God using leaders of nations to work his purposes--usually punishments against the Israelites or the nation as a whole. He doesn't have to use just Christians to do His work.

I also believe it would be impossible to find a leader with whom I could agree 100% of the time--unless, of course, that leader was me!

So long as the anti- dem and anti-rep people continue to nit-pick to find just the perfect candidate for every issue, they'll be like the little kid with his nose up against the candy story window....on the outside looking in.

Military, social security, health care, banking, environment, immigration, space exploration, trade agreements, abortion, gay marriage, 911 Truth Movement, USS Liberty Movement, cute, sexy, articulate, looks good in jeans....these are just a few things that people consider in a candidate...there surely are many more. Have you found one yet that agrees with you on every single issue? What is your cut off point? 90% agreement? 80%? What about 70%? Maybe even 65%? Would you go 60%? Where is your line in the sand?

You might as well brace yourself, moonie..........America is not going to get better. There is no way this nation is going to go back to better days--said days being before LBJ, at the minimum.

Democrats are progressives--always moving towards their goal--their goal being total domination of your life and the national scene--they're socialists at heart, or communist.

They are more than willing to take a step, halt, take a step, half, go back l step, halt, go foward 2 steps, halt, go back l, step foward 2, halt, halt, go forward l, back l, halt, forward 2.

I'll give you an example. Teddy the Swimmer's goal is to put most of the budget into education. Bush was elected. Against conservatives who like Reagan wanted to get rid of the Dept of Education, he plays the stupid little game of trying to get on the good side, off to a good start, make fwiends, blah blah blah, and comes up with this NCLB crap, and put up some funding--a substantial increase in education spending.

The left just pitched a fit because there was 'inadeuqate' funding. Next go round, there's more $$$$$$$$$ put in the kitty; they still yowl and howl and piss and moan and groan; so whap--more money, more money, more money. But notice, they are never satisfied with the amount, though the total spending has tripled by now? In the cloakroom, they're laughing their assses off at pulling another coup off. And they don't even have to take the blame.......the damn gop and its rinos are busting their butts to give the president whatever he wants!!!

And it worked-- viola!--even for Clinton, when he had a gop congress!!! And the stupid gop, namely Pete Domenici stands in the halls of congress and brags that they, the gop, have given more education funding than even clinton ASKED for!!!

You need to learn how this goes......cause its working the same way with these wars and other ways to take the future from your kids and grandkids---and just think- -most of us have kids and grandkids, too, that we care just as deeply for as you do yours!! What a thought........

Today in America the left is not the threat... the neocon fake conservatives are the threat. Remember, neocons are not conservatives. They are former ultra left wingers of the Democrat party in the 50s who insisted that the U.S. confront the USSR even if it meant a nuclear war. Research the background of neocons and you will see that some are former members of the American Communist Party, the Socialist Workers Party and other anti-Stalin communist organizations. The left in the entire 200+ years of existence of the U.S. have not come close to doing the damage to America and Americans that the neocons have in less than 30 years.

This anti-left propaganda started in the 80s and is part of the plan of the neocons to create a division between conservatives and liberals that they could take advantage of to promote their imperialistic world control agenda. All a person needs to do is look at what has happened since the 60s. Today's neocons were very much in favor of the Vietnam war, the attacks on Greneda, Panama, Iraq and other countries. Remember, the PNAC said that the U.S. needs to constantly be involved in two or more wars in multiple areas of the world to show its strength and that any country who even remotely appears to be a threat to the U.S., economically or militarily needs to be crushed and then controlled by the U.S. This is communism.

Right down to obamessiahs new Sturmabteilung and Hitler Youth Service Corps he is setting up. In fact, in his acceptance speech, the propaganda techniques could clearly be seen, i.e. admiring himself and being on stage alone. It's all about him. He is an egomanical, smooth talking, and just plain scary. Hitler's reincarnation from the pages of history.

NEOCONSERVATIVES ARE FROM THE POLITICAL LEFT, GOT IT?

COLUMN: What the hell is a neocon?


University Wire

09-03-2003

(Michigan Daily) (U-WIRE) ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Attila the Hun. Genghis Khan. Paul Wolfowitz.

Young freshmen, you as rising scholars are entering a stage in life when you begin to understand how the world works. But rather than let you wallow in four years of hard studying and personal misery to find the answer, I'll just tell you what causes problems like a dying economy, countries rotting in their own piss and bad things that happen to good people. It's all because of the neoconservatives.

Some people shy away from the neocon conspiracy theory because it is reminiscent of ancient anti-Semitic "Hymie rules the world" myths. For example, many of my fellow students (myself included) were offended when Hussein Ibish of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee called neocons "idealistic, crazy and chauvinistic Jewish-Americans," at a speaking engagement at the Michigan League last year.

But in that accusation lies a sad fact. They are hard-line ideologues whose personalities and foreign policy can be characterized as chauvinistic, and mazel tov, they're all Jewish. A quick note to the anti-Semites: This doesn't vindicate Jewish conspiracy theories, as most American Jews have remained Democrats.

A little background. Most neocons were all the same in their past lives as Trotskyites. This isn't surprising, as Trotskyism is similar to neoconservativism in that they are both anti-democratic and demand all-out, uncompromising war against their enemy (capitalists for the Trots, everyone who is not America or Israel for the neocons) and seeks to be the overarching, single ruling hegemony.

Furthermore, it's not uncommon for people to keep to the extremes. For example, the now-racist David Horowitz was thought to be na?ve by his friends for his enthusiastic support for the Black Panthers in his Marxist youth.

Most of them made the switch in the '60s, like Irving Kristol, when they found themselves supporting Israel when the left was rallying for the Palestinians. They also came from urbane, New York intellectual society, and were disgusted at what they perceived to be the filth that was sex, drugs and rock and roll that stood at the center of left-wing social life.

As Kristol in his trademark, elegantly pompous tone, said, "A neoconservative is a liberal who's been mugged by reality."

In short, nationalism got the best of them. Zionism started out as a left-wing movement, an anti-racist agenda that stood side by side with the civil rights movement. But along came a distrust among the Zionists. They felt no compromise could be made with the enemy. They shunned the leftist aspects of Zionism and traded "peace now" for "piece now" and salivated at the thought of armed conflict. Similar developments happened when violent, bigoted "white devil" attitudes emerged from Black Nationalism.

But what makes right-wing Zionists a problem for this country? A few of them, like Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Defense Policy Board member Richard Perle, hold high positions where they can dictate policy. Neocons care not about the domestic problems that plague our nation - abysmal public education and unemployment to name a few - but about funding Israel and sticking with the hawkish Likud Party and flexing military muscle against anyone that steps out of line with America.

Don't take my paranoid, left-wing word for it. Perle himself said, according to The Christian Science Monitor, "The President of the United States, on issue after issue, has reflected the thinking of neoconservatives." And just look at the numbers. There's never enough money for schools but there is always billions of dollars available for Israeli aid and whatever war Bush and the neocons want to fight. This nation doesn't suffer from a lack of money, it suffers from an unbalanced allocation of available funds. In fact, some estimate that the Bush administration is actually spending more money on the neocon agenda than Johnson did on his Great Society domestic policies.

This isn't to say that United States should stay away from brokering peace between Israel and the Palestinians. On the contrary, the United States should spend a reasonable amount of energy on ending war and securing ourselves from terrorist threats. But aiding the Israeli extremist position is unhelpful and damaging for the region, and turns a blind eye to more important domestic ills.

The Trotskyist pedigree of neoconservatism is no secret; the original neocon, Irving Kristol, acknowledges it with relish: "I regard myself to have been a young Trostkyite and I have not a single bitter memory." Nor is there any doubt about the influence – one might almost say hegemony – of "former Communists" on the post-war conservative movement. Just read the words of one neocon, Seymour Martin Lipset:

From the anti-Stalinists who became conservatives – including James Burnham, Whittaker Chambers, and Irving Kristol – the Right gained a political education and, in some cases, an injection of passion. The ex-radicals brought with them the knowledge that ideological movements must have journals and magazines to articulate their perspectives. In 1955, for example, William F. Buckley, Jr., launched National Review at the urging of Willi Schlamm, a former German Communist. In its early years, National Review was largely written and edited by the Buckley family and a handful of former Communists, Trotskyists, and socialists, such as Burnham and Chambers. It played a major role in creating the Goldwaterite and Reaganite New Right and in stimulating an anti-Soviet foreign policy.

Worthy of note is that while ex-Stalinists tended to denounce their Communist roots vehemently, neoconservatives like Kristol and Schwartz remain at least wistfully fond of Trotsky. It's also worth noting that the neoconservative preoccupation with exporting social democracy abroad through war and mercantilism reflects the original split between Trotsky and Stalin. Trotsky argued that there could not be "socialism in one country" but rather that the revolution had to be truly international. And so the neoconservatives push for "human rights" and social democratic governments to be imposed on Serbia, for example, by force of arms.

Bingo, Dak.

William Kristol: Palin's advice to McCain: Take the gloves off in debate

Palin was a neocon prop, promoted by Bill Kristol and coached by Joe Lieberman. What could be more perfect than a folksy-sounding, telegenic airhead to sell the PNAC foreign policy agenda? When someone like Joe Lieberman or Randy Schuenemann stumps for Israel or threatens to annihilate an Arab country, it's kind of obvious what it's all about. When a Pentacostal from Alaska talks about nuking Iran in the name of God, well, the rubes think that it's as all-American as apple pie.

Good point.

We really don't know what caused McCain to settle on her. She certainly was compatible on the Israel issue.

Both sections of the system see Palin as a future threat. Why???

Deep Down (because the f**king liars will never admit it) all of *US* (the non- cabalites) are a present or future threat.

Palin's no threat, as evidenced by her non-America first 'tude exhibited WHILE hitched to the reptile aka Juan McCucaracha.

I refuse to fight for a pipeline or a corporation, however. I think allot of people feel the same way.. In fact, I haven't seen the US military defend us against anything in the entire time I've been alive..

While this says nothing about those who served and their motivations, it is a terrible indictment of their leadership.

I can't fight for Obamalamadingdongers.

I would find it hard to fight for most partisan Repubicans and everyone that wasn't ignorant/scared/stupid but voted FOR mcCain.

So that really only leaves a rather slim populace that I'd fight for.

And fight I will. ;-)

I've got a pretty good idea. She has a vagina, she was folksy, she was a social conservative, and most importantly she would say whatever her handlers told her to say. She was a news anchor by training, thats all she did, read her script.

She would have been the nominee in 2012 if she wasn't so stupid. Some might object to calling her stupid, but either she is stupid, or she is massively ignorant and completely intellectually lazy.

I never gave Palin a second thought after she signed on with with McCain, but can anyone explain to me the vitriol she is receiving from the Ds and Neos in defeat? Quick, can you remember Bob Dole's VP pick? Lots here do, because we live and breathe this stuff, but Jack Kemp is lost to history since that similar disaster of a campaign. The ongoing personal assault on her has a political message, and all the usual suspects are driving it. She'd be insane to consider running again, and with her currently stated policies, I'd never support her, but it's the continuous, vicious attack on her that should be a red flag to us. It's a distraction to the economic meltdown, Obama's odious appointments and god knows what else.

Answer...

McKook was the person running for President, not Palin. KooK is 74 years old, finished, gone,history, into the dustbin, a political nobody.

Palin is 44 years old and struck a nerve that brought out the white trash, nobody Americans, that no one likes. Remember there are MILLIONS of Americans that belong to no party, no ideology, with allegiance to no one in this rotten system.

The system has decided that her gender alone is basis for degrading her into oblivion. Despicable people here have called her a whore, found no fault with her being called worse names, all of which is in fact the system busy at work in this rotten business.

Palin cannot be allowed to exist as she appeals to the unwashed millions that are not part of the system.

But I would like to know why the anger isn't directed at McCain, who has a long history in the Senate and knows the score and the importance of this nomination, but picked her anyway.. and allegedly at the spur of the moment, with no real vetting or consideration.

Anyone who thinks she cost him the election should perhaps look at who chose her in the first place. That would be McCain.

Who knows what they're protecting? Him? His neo-con message? Inoculating themselves against Palin in 2012? The way his campaign was run? There's allot of options to choose from in this regard.

Still, I think if they keep this crap up all they're going to do is create a tidal wave of sympathy for this woman.

With 8 years of Dubya's "legacy" then the bailout, topped off by McCain's own neo-tarded message around their ankle's like a ball & chain, what did anyone expect?

She didn't lose it for them.. If anyone is to blame here it's McCain and Dubya.

Ya know, JT, I woke up this morning thinking about this, with all the brouhaha trying to make her out to be some DIVA.

Well, I've got a big old question........how many women in the world do you or any other man, or woman, for that matter, know that would be considered a DIVA by anyones' standards that is as outdoorsy, shoot, gut, and skin out a moose, or cut and clean fish type? How many divas does anyone know that can pick up a gun, let alone shoot it as well as a man? How many women does anyone know that has 5 kids who have all had puke and shitty diapers that think they're a diva?

Beyond the sour grapes of jealous wimmen and queers, this is definitely an attempt to plant something in the background for history and in the minds of people........and as Cyni says, "Who".........others might say, "Why", and then others will simply march in lock step calling her a whore (with no evidence to support this smear), stupid (again without evidence), blah blah blah.

And if you consider some more of the whine--like they couldn't get her to listen to their indoctrination so she could be interviewed, and there are people eating that allegation up, why would they think she'd be a complaint anything else if in office....that gives credence to being an independent thinker/doer.

As for the clothes allegation, she has gone on the record as saying she buys at a consignment shopt, or a 2nd hand shop up in Alaska........if this weren't so, that would be plastered all over, in headlines and on talking media, that it was checked out and she lied!

Cripes, there's even bitching that she answered a hotel door for the apparent handlers as she got out of the shower and had a towel wrapped around her!!! Guess they preferred a bare-assed nekkid womana to answer the door. AND if she hadn't answered the door, the rumor mill would be that she was too busy trying to 'beautify' herself, or was so petulant about why she only had this or that to wear.

It is all such paris hilton type bullshit. Even a number on this board have bought the juice on this one.

Palin is 44 years old and struck a nerve that brought out the white trash, nobody Americans, that no one likes. Remember there are MILLIONS of Americans that belong to no party, no ideology, with allegiance to no one in this rotten system.

And as I recall, she spoke favorably of Ron Paul........and we know he shook some cages with the internet fund raising!

You nailed it dee. Sarah Palin is certainly no diva, that's for sure, per the list you gave. But the word "diva" will stick in voters' minds 4 or 8 years hence. It has a nice catchy put-down ring to it does it not. It's the exact opposite of what Sarah Palin is - and for all her warts, being a diva was not one of those warts.

If anything Palin was an ordinary person who was outside the Beltway who did not shmooze at cocktail parties in DC or NYC. She was a person of the people who connected with the people.

MSM and the movers and shakers within the RNC and DNC want Sarah Palin marginalized. That's the "who", imo. The "why" is something for us to ponder.

"80,000,000 plus Americans that belong to NO ONE pose a danger to the system, if God forbid, someone were to walk on stage and say "follow me".

Cant have that, can we?

For her, this agreeing to be on the ticket was the easiest way to get name recognition at the national level. (I daresay most of the kids graduating today or just recently probably can't even find Alaska on a map!)

Something like 54% of our population are women. Geeze, we even saw women from NOW supporting her! Now that had the scare the bejiggers out of some people.

And her positive thoughts and remarks about Ron Paul.

When you stop to think of how the environuts have used the tactics of running to court to try to run the country, it should be a lesson that it is necessary to play the system with the rules that are there available for everyone, but just aren't used.

In elections, there is a distinct advantage in name recognition--just look at how the sheeple went bonkers over a guy they'd never heard of EXCEPT the speech he had given some 3 years prior. Remember how the media just gushed and gushed and gushed, and anytime he was in the news, it was always with the mention of the keynote speech at the previous convention, so if you had sort of forgotten who he was, you were reminded!

Thus far, I don't recall, other than Perot, candidates that didn't have national name recognition.

Along with name recognition, there is the issue of gender, whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Its my opinion that most men don't cotton to having a woman boss.

Anyways, between her being one of us dissatisfied 80 million people, having a free and independent husband (and possibly those same feelings in her heart), and now national recognition, should there be a movement within the next several years to go third party, at least a large part of the problem in gaining a following is already taken care of. She's a feisty little fighter, not afraid to swing a punch, whereas someone like Ron Paul doesn't have that in his nature.

Sarah isn't dumb. She has to know that running 3rd party WITHOUT a bunch of positives going ahead of you that it would be virtually impossible to win national office. I knew it back in 86 when I ran for a state office--my heart was independent, but there was no way that would happen because there was no groundwork laid many years beforehand.

The answer is none (some close tho) and that's what really frightens her condescending, nasty opponents. I've discussed her politics, which aren't mine, but if she was a D, her story - from mom, to mayor to governor - would qualify her for sainthood. The character assassination is about the small town qualities she represents and, more importantly, what she might become. Rather than toss people like her over board immediately, I'd ask all those who once thought Bush was a conservative to pause before doing so. Just maybe events happen for a reason, and just maybe this disgusting political over kill will ignite a spark in her, Todd, or some other person yet to be identified. If our side decides second chances are verboten, and people never change, I'd suggest our litmus test is impossible to meet.

I believe it was before because that was one of the things the media initially whined about. And Buchanan as well.........they tried to stick that on her, when she had in fact worked with the Forbes people, though she apparently had spoken positively as it regards Buchanan as well.

These sorts of things ought to be telling us something----she doesn't seem all that mainstream gop to me. Forbes never got near the top, nor did PJB.

I believe that is a large part of the why. Only the 'anointed', i.e., GW, should 'connect' with the people. I believe that there are those who feel she is no 'gw' when it comes to being handled.

Some of her governatorial agreements in Alaska weren't exactly embraced by the gop--didn't fit in with their idea of how things should be. This is another little thing we should tuck back in our minds as to the why......at some point, there should be some connecting of the dots.

I'm not closing my mind to her; but for the record I didn't vote for that ticket--she wasn't at the top and I wouldn't vote for mccain for dog catcher; like Cyni, I didn't even waste my time this cycle.

One of the big problems with folks that are disenfranchised or disenchanged or disgusted is that if perfection is not seen in their eyes, they'll stab the person and/or their character with a thousand verbal knife wounds.

Bob Barr, who was at odds, via his voting record, with many things most here on the board are against, was never hammered with this viciousness being shown Palin.

And what about Howard Phillips or Chuck Baldwin.......geeze, even PJB wasn't excoriated like this.

I really do believe in keeping alert to the Why and Who of this.
