Sarah Palin: Deeply Threatening to the Left?

[Easy90]

The moment the McCain camp confirmed it had chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as its choice for VP, conservatives, females and many mothers across the country rejoiced. She brought so many positives that I couldn’t help but wonder how long it would take the left to dig for the negatives.

Shortly after the announcement a friend asked me “when do you think the weird, rural farmer’s daughter rumors will start?

Apparently, not long after.

The Daily Kos (or as I like to call it, The Daily Gross) has stooped to a new low by repackaging a plot line from last season’s “Desperate Housewives” and publishing it as a disgusting hit piece alleging Palin’s special needs son is really her grandson. — And that she pretended to be with child to cover up her teen daughter’s underage pregnancy. Now, we’ve just learned Palin’s teen daughter Bristol is pregnant, debunking this awful rumor, yet still igniting the attacks of angry liberal bloggers.

This could only mean there must be something about Sarah Palin that is deeply threatening to the left, a constituency that has long believed they have cornered the working mother market. Five kids? She should be at home begging Democrats for a handout. A husband in a union? He should be on the picket lines.

Liberals like to pretend they are tolerant and accepting of those who are different but when it comes to anyone not ensconced in their progressive, elitist dogma they mock and attack their lifestyle to inspire hate. But because governor Palin is endearing, authentic–and with this latest revelation–easy to identify with, she invokes panic in the left. Why else would they assail a very popular, promising lady and her children?

The key question here is: what is the extreme left trying to prove? How does this make Sarah Palin unfit to serve? And how exactly will this story look bad to voters? A mother stands behind her child. I can think of worse stories than “Palins Come Together to Support Teen Daughter.” This is America. This is life. And this is private.

Ridiculing McCain’s VP pick for her commitment to family, poking fun at her hobbies and pushing smear about her kids will only bite back. Remember there’s a reason the naked protesters who ran up and down Eighth Avenue in New York City during the 2004 convention helped Republicans: they made liberals look cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

Perpetuating laughable legend and assailing the American family is akin to the in the buff boycotting. –It makes the lefties look desperate, unstable, paranoid and downright mean. And it will hurt the Democratic brand if it continues.

The back story here has nothing to do with Palin and her family but more to do with the extreme left. All Americans should take note: if liberals aren’t going to show Governor Palin or her family any respect, voters shouldn’t expect their policies to either.

The amount of threads on this website in regards to Palin show how worried libbies are. It's actually kind of funny. It's all they can do. They have nothing legitimate on her so they sink to the gutter and make fun of her kids. It's all they got.

THe more threads I see on Palin trying to dicredit her the more I breathe easier about the election.

Geeez, what a fuckin' idiot, the "left" is concerned about education for the youth of America.

Abstinence as sex education doesn't work, too bad Palin had to learn that the hard way.

[Mouth Full Of Teeth]

As threatened as the Republicans were of Edwards after he was no longer a candidate...

Yeah riiiggghhht. :lmao:

The number of threads relates to the number of examples how Palin is not qualified to be VP.

So I take it you despise anyone who would make fun of kids?

Well, look. The left is bitter. They are enraged, they are angry, and they feel they deserve one of their leftist fellow travelers to be in the White House. They have been full of hate and rage since Bush won in 2000 and even more so in 2004. And the leftists will attempt to destroy any conservative they see as a threat.

Exactly. If she had the lack of appeal and experience Biden has they wouldn't say a word. Because Palin is a dangerous choice for the libbies they've screamed louder than my prom date. Every pair of panties in the libbie drawer are wadded up beyond belief.

Here, you'll need lots of these this election.

Somehow I knew you wouldn't reply about McCain making fun of Chelsea Clinton. Those of you on the right are trying to claim a moral high ground by condemning those on the left who "attack a child" yet support a candidate who would do the same. Hypocrisy at it's best.

I counted 12 and I haven't even got past pg 2.
They know this is an effin A-bomb dropped on the Obama campaign.
I an very excited, not only about the Brilliant Pick of Palin, but about the absolute histrionics displayed by the left.

I think the attacks and made up stories I hear from the far left blogs and some in the media just goes to show I right I am.

You couldn't be more right. This election is going to get ugly for the libbies. The smear campaign Comrade Obama is running is going to backlash and smack him straight in his lying mouth. Hopefully it will hit Biden too and wake his boring ass up.

Someone had to vet Palin since McCain apparently didn't. :lmao:

Look to see many more 'exposures' about McCain's latest beauty. :clapper:

[lily]

I wasn't going to say anything......but a) how many threads were there about Edwards and b) they are not all on the same subject.

They know this is an effin A-bomb dropped on the Obama campaign.

You are confusing fear with honest debate......as Leslie said: "Someone had to vet Palin since McCain apparently didn't." The McCain camp didn't vet her properly....there are a shitload of articles stating that. Up until 10 days ago, he was dead set on Lieberman......Palin was second choice, wasn't expected, they didn't check her out........and sorry this is what you get....but the vote for McCain.......you'll be getting more dumbass decisions like this.

[preservanation]

Who vetted Biden?
Did the media descend on Delaware and whatever state he was born in, PA?, and dig up dirt on him?
You say that we already know Biden.
BS.
How do we know him?
Through the unbiased media?
There are a lot of stuff out there about him that we probably don't know.

But....More to the point who vetted Obama????
The media, and they did a piss poor job as we found out.

Speaking of Edwards...Amazing how the left ignored his flap reported by the NE because it is "Tabloid" but lap up like saint bernards anything emanating from the KOS as gospel.
This puts to rest once and for all that the press has a leftwing/Dem bias.
Those who further deny this are not to be listened to.

No matter what these lib elites think of the rest of us....we are not that stupid.

You and PMP should love her. She promotes teaching creationisms and ID (http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Sarah_Palin_Education.htm) in high school science classes.

America continues its march back to the 14th century.... :(
