LUNTZ FOCUS GROUP - PALIN SWAYED VIEWERS TO CHOOSE HER AND MCCAIN

Posted by Mike Silverman on Friday, October 03, 2008 12:09:04 PM
If you were watching Fox News Last night you may have seen the focus group that Frank Luntz put together to view the debate. Half Kerry supporters half Bush supporters.  After the VP debate he asked the group how many thought Sarah Palin own. Almost all of them agreed that she won. Some of them said that she convinced them to change thier minds. The common wisdom in the media is that the VP debate was not a game changer, but I think it was..., the liberal media just won't admit it. I think most people were like Frank's focus group. Sarah has a way of talking straight to the people, and I think she reached a lot of people last night.

VP DEBATE MODERATOR CALLS REPUBLICANS TERRORISTS

Posted by Mike Silverman on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 7:36:07 PM

Republican politicians, and particularly Conservatives , are tougher than anyone else in politics today.  They need to be, since they are the endless target of nearly all mainstream press smears, screeching left wing zealots supporting every social taboo in existence, and backstabbing political colleagues in the Democrat party. If, despite all this, Conservative politicians stand fast on thier principles then they are by far the toughest politicians around this country today and very worthy leaders. By contrast, Liberal Democrat politicians today can be soft, squishy, and cowardly..., and still be liberal. They get petted by the media, cheered by the screaming extremists, and get thier way with jelly spined moderates in the Republican party. They need exert very little effort to be who they are.  And, Democrat politicians don't need to concern themselves that moderators at debates between Republican and Democrat might be lopsided conservative Republican supporters. They won't be. Never have been.  So, where does that bring us?  Nowhere.  The upcoming debate between Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joe Biden is being moderated by a woman named Gwen Ifill, who loathes Republicans. Wow.., that's a surprise ( not ). Here's a quote from the gracious Gwen Ifill commenting on Senate Republcians who, in 1998, defeated a bill for campaign finance reform, and Ms. Ifill was obviously not happy that the Senate Republicans expressed satisfaction at having done so..., Here's her quote...,

"It was a bill that was doomed to die. The last time you heard people so eager to claim responsibility for something like this, they were terrorists." — NBC reporter Gwen Ifill, February 27 Washington Week in Review on PBS. ( source = https://www.mediaresearch.org/notablequotables/bestof/1998/best7-9.asp )

Yes, she called Republicans terrorists. This is the fair minded level headed moderator who will be throwing questions of her own design at Sarah Palin.  Now..., don't misunderstand. I actually think this wonderful. What better way to contrast the differences between a strident Liberal extremist woman and a strong confident everyday Conservative woman?  Sarah will come out fine from this, and even more so if Ms. Ifill stoops to trying to sabotage Sarah Palin. If Ms. Ifill gets testy with her Sarah should just flash that friendly smile, answer the questions smoothly, and show that she's not the least bit rattled by spiteful left wing windbags. Nothing irks Liberals more than having no effect on the people they target.

FANTASY PUNDITS VS. SARAH PALIN - GO BACK TO BED

Posted by Mike Silverman on Sunday, September 28, 2008 8:15:26 AM
I have a question for those gnostic intelligentsia Conservative pundits out there who have decided to declare unfit the Vice Presidential candidacy of Governor Sarah Palin, because she didn't meet the "high" expectations of an interview with Katie Couric. Do you really believe that how one genuflects before the sophistry of Couric and Gibson and the usual suspects of the narcissistic media is the definition of leadership?  Spare me your self-styled demagoguery and go back to punditizing your fantasies of angels that float down from the heavenly ether to grant you your perfect omnipotent political leader. I'll root my expectations in the "real" world..., if you don't mind. Some may recall all the flack Couric took when she made the move to CBS to take over anchoring the CBS Evening News. They said she was inexperienced, and lacked the credentials.  After all, how could this woman..., fill the shoes of those giants before her, Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather. Was there some sexism going on?  Probably, but, she was given a chance to do the job and prove if she could handle it. Sarah Palin has proven that she can handle an executive position. She has proven she can fight for the average citizen and win those battles with strength, confidence, and a genuine smile on her face.  Now, the media has left it up to the quality of dubious sound-bite banter with the likes of Kaite Couric, Charles Gibson, and a few disenchanted analysts and egocentric intellectuals to decipher the worth of her leadership.  What a lot of embarassingly vapid commentary rolling off the tongues of alleged objective reporters.  I continue to be disgusted with the news media in general, and now I even have to sit here and depose the cranky desperation of some knee-jerk Conservatives who can't get past the fact that as VP it is Sarah Palin's most important role to convince the country of the value of a John McCain presidency.  Get over it.  Sarah Palin is qualified to take the role of VP, moreso in my opinion than the highly fallible misanthropic Joe Biden.  A famous philosopher, William F. Buckley Jr..., who sadly passed away recently, once said... "I would rather be governed by the first 2000 names in the Boston phone book than by the Harvard faculty.". I agree with the late Mr. Buckley.  Give me the common citizen's sense of a down-to-earth approach to governance of someone who is closer to the everyday person and more in touch, of someone like Sarah Palin..., rather than the self-aggrandizing snobbery of a Joe Biden or a Barack Obama, any day. Ronald Reagan believed in the virtue and basic common sense of everyday citizens leading the country to greatness,  and so do I.

JOE BIDEN FLUBS HIS WAY THROUGH LIFE . WE DON'T NEED HIM ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM BEING PRESIDENT

Posted by Mike Silverman on Friday, September 19, 2008 7:08:13 PM
  Joe Biden is a master of verbal flubs. I think we need to nickname him Flubber. If you remember, there was an old television series called Flipper about a dolphin who somehow could communicate using those static squeeky noises that Dolphins typically make, and be understood by the boys who befriended him. Flipper seemed to have a better grasp of communication skills than poor old Joe Biden does. Since I have more respect for Flipper's skills than I do for Joe's, I will refer to Joe as Flubber, the verbally challenged human version of Flipper. Let's review some of Flubber's famous verbal flubs.

* "You got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

The "FIRST"? Wow...

* “You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

Way to go Joe... insult yet another constituency.

* To State Senator Chuck Graham, Joe implored ...: “Chuck, stand up, let the people see you.”

Hey Joe.., did you or your staff happen to notice that Chuck is in a wheelchair? Sheesh!

* "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America", "Quite frankly it might have been a better pick than me"

Hey Joe... we can agree on something! Obama made a terrible pick and showed lack of judgement.

* "We want to take money ...."

Yes Joe... we know.

*.... "and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people."

What about "poor" people Joe? Oh, that's right. You took care of that already. You donated $995 to charity ( $400 of that was an unspecified "non-cash" gift, reducing the real cash donation to $595 )... out of your $360,000.00 income last year. How about this Joe, give up your salary as a politician for the coming year and give it to the middle class instead. Then you don't have to steal it in the form of higher taxes from other people so that you can play a phony santa claus trying to buy votes with liberal income redistribution schemes.

* ...( continuing in his statement about taking money ( through higher taxes) and putting it in the pocket of the middle-class , Joe said..) “It’s time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.”

Thanks Joe. Thanks for helping us all understand what the word "patriotic" means. Paying more taxes. I don't suppose being patriotic would be something like supporting the troop surge, which you declared a "failure". I don't suppose it would be anything like supporting General Petraeus to whom exactly 1 year ago you demanded to end the surge and bring the troops home declaring you had no reason to believe the violence would end in Iraq despite General Petraeus telling you that his commanders see improvement in security and reductions in violence. Who was it, Joe, that was the lone voice on your foreign relations committee who warned that it would be rash to jump to conclusions and force an end to the war? That's right... it was Senator John McCain. Guess what Joe? He was right, you were wrong. You flubbed it again Joe.

So , Flubber Biden, flubbing his way through his Senate career with his ridiculous comments and inept analysis, is now the VP candidate? Good Lord! If Obama wins, Flubber is only one heartbeat away from the Presidency! We simply can't allow Flubber Biden to flub-up the country too! What a scary thought!

HACKERS - BOILS THAT SWELL WITH DISEASE

Posted by Mike Silverman on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 6:30:20 PM
I don't know how many people actually read my little posts I put up in my blog here, but I feel obliged to make mention of this recent report of scummy criminals hacking into Governor Sarah Palin's personal yahoo e-mail account.  These people must be idiots, because this was certainly an insane thing to do if they were hoping to garner public disdain for Sarah Palin by revealing private thoughts or personal comments etc..., or perhaps the attempt was to generate a circus like atmosphere of prying crowds hoping to drag her down into a malaise of grubby probing fingers clawing like animals for a chance to see an e-mailed picture of Trig.  These criminal hackers are pus-filled boils on the back end of society appealing to the lowest common denominator of gazers of  paparazzi photos and garbage digging jackals. The only effect this will have is to raise the wrath of her supporters against these hackers, and generate more support and probably some sympathy as well..., than ever before. I can garantee that Sarah's supporters by choice will not be looking at any of these illegally obtained e-mails because we are not members of the lice infested circles these criminal hackers run in. I hope the fullest measure of the law is brought to bear upon these morally vapid wretches.

ATTACKING THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY

Posted by Mike Silverman on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:29:23 PM
We don't need a President micro-managing the financial industries of the country. Any presidential candidate who ran on the basis of tampering with the operations of private financial institutions and money markets would not get my vote. If AIG can not rescue itself, let the company answer to its customers for its bad decisions and crash if it must. Will people suffer? Some probably will, there are alot of personal assets in big banking institutions, although some are covered by deposit insurance. Government must not take risk away from investment by playing the role of daddy to a wayward child who misspent its money. If you take risk away from normally risky investments you reduce the incentive to manage assests carefully.  Also the fundamentals of our economy are not ruled by three of four banks on wall street.  John McCain was exactly right. The country will continue to function, we will continue to prosper as a country in the big picture of things, and markets will correct themselves. He is smart not to rip the US economy because as a top contender for President everyone around the world is listening to what McCain says. If they think he will be President, and if he is mouthing that the economy sucks in the US he will turn international investors off like a light switch.  The President , as a leader, should be reassuring the country and the world that the US markets are sound and solid investments, not scaring people out of thier wits. What will also debilitate the economy in a widespread form is Obama's plan for raising taxes, especially on capital gains. If you want boost economic activity , lower taxes on all businesses and families to provide more capital and disposable income to generate greater commerce and investment.
 
Secondly, I wish McCain would stop using Sarah Palin to deliver his liberalized message on increasing regulations on CEO's and big Oil and oversight on private banks and investment firms, and instead let her be the Conservative voice on pushing for oil and natural gas exploration, cutting taxes and promoting Conservative values to our nations court systems. I don't think McCain realizes what Sarah's best asset to his campaign is and how to make the best use of her popularity.  He should not be sending Sarah Palin out to talk about increasing regulations and bureaucracies.

REPRESENTATIVE STEVE COHEN SLASHES AT SARAH PALIN ON THE HOUSE FLOOR

Posted by Mike Silverman on Monday, September 15, 2008 5:18:38 PM
Whether you read the bible, or not, you probably know who Pontius Pilate was and are familiar with the name of Jesus. Those names have been referred to throughout our world's history since they appeared thousands of years ago. As most of us know, Pilate ultimately ordered the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Since most adults and perhaps even most children in this country are generally familiar with the biblical recounting of these events, what was it that inspired Democrat Representative Steve Cohen of Tennessee to believe he needed to refresh that knowledge at the national level? At the podium in the House of  Representatives in DC, Senator Cohen chose to state the following for the record, quoting...
 
"I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, that the parties have differences. But if you want change, you want the Democratic Party. Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about. Pontius Pilate was a governor."
 
Was Representative Cohen giving a sermon? No. Was he trying to educate the masses about a historical event?  No. He was making a political statement in a clear, blatant, open attempt to compare Barack Obama whose claim to real world experience is as a "Community Organizer"  , to Jesus Christ.  So we are left to guess who he meant for us to think of when he said "Pontius Pilate was a governor".  Let's see. Could he mean Senator Biden?  I doubt it since he was making a statement in favor of the Democrat Party and Biden is Obama's VP. Could it be Senator McCain? No. McCain was never a Governor.  That leaves one candidate on the Republican ticket. Governor Sarah Palin. We all know that he was making a comparison of Sarah Palin to the man who ordered the execution of Jesus Christ. The revered Savior of her own religion, by the way. Representative Cohen is a deeply disturbed man. It requires a tremendous loathing, a deeply embedded hatred of Sarah Palin in his heart to make such a sinister reference. This man is not fit for office. To use the floor of the House Of Representatives to attack in a highly personal and savage manner Governor Palin's character, to suggest that Sarah Palin would in some way like Pontius Pilate be ready and willing to order the execution of the Son of God, whether you believe Jesus to be the Savior or not, displays Cohen's sickness of the mind.  Cohen is Jewish, and so am I.   I am ashamed , and embarrassed to call him a Jew. Judaism is a religion that does not abide using biblical rhetoric to make savage personal attacks on fellow citizens.  Quite the opposite. Cohen should perhaps remember the history of anti-Semitism Jews worldwide have experienced at various intervals.  In fact, during Representative Cohen's own run for office in Tennessee this year, he experienced religious slander against himself in the form of anti-Semitic flyers being distributed with his name on them. The Washington Post has a report on that at the following link; http://blog.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2008/02/jewish_rep_cohen_battles_antis.html

THE TRUTH - LIBERAL WOMEN ARE JEALOUS OF SARAH PALIN

Posted by Mike Silverman on Saturday, September 13, 2008 5:34:14 AM
The more I ponder the vitriol and venom that liberal women are spewing like acid  at Sarah Palin, the more I have boiled it down to something less complicated than ideology from them. Sarah Palin is what they wish they could be. These liberal ladies want to have the cheers and throngs of full throated support that Sarah has, and they hate the fact that Sarah is an attractive Republican woman. She's strong, confident, Conservative, happy with her life, beautiful and admired by millions. The liberal female pundits, radical feminists and hollywood kooks who have cultivated thier narrow political audiences are bewildered and jealous over this. Sure there's some ideology mixed in, but I think it's used more as a cover for the seething jealousy of her popularity. To these liberal ladies, "they" are supposed to be the pinnacle of popularity. They have prostituted themsleves to the ideology of a fringe viewpoint , and as a result they get "in" to the elite gatherings of social snobbery that represent that radical view of the country. But , do they really believe the lunacy of the liberalism they spew, or are they towing the line so that they can keep that "in" crowd venue with the mopy miserable depressed liberals who wring thier hands at the unfairness of life, financial success, and carbon-dioxide? I think they secretly wish they could "be" Sarah Palin, because Sarah has not had to go "phony" and be something that "others" want her to be in order to "fit in" with the super egos of radical beligerants. She's not one of them. Sarah doesn't care to rub shoulders with the illuminati of liberal inner circles.  It doesn't make sense to the liberal mindset. In thier world view there are not supposed to be "normal" people in this country.  Or, at least the "normal" people are supposed to be the "fringe" nutcases not the rallying point of the great majority. But the rest of us know why Sarah is popular. Precisely because she represents the core values we cherish most.

THE PLASTIC GODS OF NEWS ONLY IMPRESS THEMSELVES

Posted by Mike Silverman on Thursday, September 11, 2008 5:47:18 PM

 

Okay. So here we are.., Governor Sarah Palin will sit for an interview conducted by Charles Gibson.  It's certainly nothing unusual that a politician interviews with a news anchor.  Except for this one. What's so different?  I heard 7 different news media analysts say that this will make or break Sarah Palin. Isn't that special? Doesn't it give you a comfortable trusting feeling about these loose-jawed self-adoring network asses who where bred on pop culture icons that tumble out of American Idol and MTV's "reality" shows?  It doesn't ? Well, me neither. I have some "news" for you,  you styrofoam members of the press..., so-called ( ha-ha) "reporters"... you mirror gazing Divas of narcissism... you can't "break" what you didn't "make". Governor Palin is not a "news" phenomenon. Her appeal is so far beyond anything that the news media understands that they are actually puzzled at her popularity. They "don't" get it, and they "won't" get it, because they "can't" get it.  They don't know "us". They don't know "normal" people and what motivates us to admire someone who has leadership qualities that come from the basic fundamental core values of regular everyday folks. Sarah Palin is one of us. We don't "need" the media gods to introduce her to us. We don't "need" Charles Gibson to question her in order for us to know we have a person in Sarah Palin who understands where are, and what we want.  Sarah will give them thier precious interviews, but they are only fooling themselves if they think they will control her future. Sarah is going to DC as the next VP.  You rabid hyenas of the press can snap at her heels all the way to Washington if you want... but when she gets there the door will close in your faces and your fangs will have nothing to sink into and you will skulk back to your little dens of dubious media still puzzled over why she's so popular and why your ratings are running out like sand through a screen.

FORGET THE POLLS- A REPUBLICAN REVOLUTION MAY BE COMING

Posted by Mike Silverman on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 6:33:35 PM
Polls are tight. McCain is up in a few , Obama is up in a few. Only one "poll" matters.  That's the poll at the voting booth on election day.  The way that John McCain and Sarah Palin will become the next residents at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is for Republicans to show up in massive waves at thier local voting place and cast thier ballots for the Republican ticket. While they're at it Republicans may want to make sure to vote for any local Republican officials that are up for re-election or are challenging Democrat encumbents. John and Sarah will need all the help from that they can get in the form of sending additional  Republicans to congress. Democrat gains predicted for this midterm are not at all assured.  Especially now. With the Republican Base electrified and eager to put the McCain / Palin ticket into office, there is a very good possibility that not only will Democrats have to fight to obtain any significant gains in the House and Senate, but may lose seats that they thought were safe. Battleground states are changing. If the Republican base stays pumped, there could be a massive sweeping change in the look of Capitol Hill this November. This, even more than the Presidency, has insider Democrats wringing thier hands. The Democrats were predicting a joyride but John McCain threw a curve ball by bringing Sarah Palin into the mix. All bets are off now. A revolutionary change may be headed our way this November akin to the massive influx of 1994 when Newt Gingrich headed a Republican overhaul of the House and Senate.

OBAMA LOYALISTS CHEERED THE "PIG" COMMENT

Posted by Mike Silverman on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 10:38:39 AM
 

We can consider whether the "lipstick on a pig..." comment Obama made was a backhanded or coded insult meant for Governor Palin, which frankly is kind of hard to rationalize. Obama obviously stepped in it with that stupid metaphor but I want to point something out. Listen carefully to the tape as he makes the analogy, the crowd was quiet until he uttered the words "lipstick on a pig..." at that moment, when he said "Pig"... the crowd began to cheer and scream thier approval. I really, truly honestly think "THEY" decided to make the connection in thier minds to Sarah Palin. It's rather obvious, even if Obama didn't mean it to be taken that way... you know that's why the Obama loyalists loved it. They loved it because they despise Sarah Palin because of her effectiveness and they want to see her muddied up, they want to see her cut down and will take any red meat they can get even if it's only thier own twist on a stupid comment.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN - IS NOT ONE OF THE MEDIA JACKALS

Posted by Mike Silverman on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 7:29:32 AM

Greta Van Susteren has been reprising the role of traditional reporting in a media age where others scoop up trash and toss it to the public for quick consumption. Greta has her broom out and she's sweeping away the garbage to get at the truth.
 "On The Record", Greta Van Susteren's highly rated Fox News show, went to Alaska Tuesday night to obtain first-hand interviews and commentary from locals in Wasilla and other Alaska towns to present a local perspective on Governor Sarah Palin's personal life.  As many know, a whirlwind of cut throat media hacks have been swarming like locusts into Alaska in an attempt to be the first with a handful of mud to throw at Sarah and her family. The problem they are encountering is that Sarah Palin hasn't strolled through the mud like a lot of other politicians. Rather than handfuls of dirt, they are only finding dust bunnies, and small ones at that. Greta took her microphone and cameras into Sarah Palin's native towns and cities and got real people on the record with thier honest opinions. It began with an exclusive and touching interview with Sarah's sister Heather Bruce. Greta talked with her about sibling rivalry, high school, the family's upcoming emotional  gathering for Sarah's son Track to wish him well in his deployment to Iraq, how the family members took care of each other and were able to cope with the adjustment to Sarah becoming Mayor of Wasilla and then Governor of Alaska. Every genuine look thus far at Sarah Palin's family has shown that she is well able to balance the responsibilities of her home life and her career.  Next Greta interviewed Pastor Kroon of Sarah's church in another exclusive where he explained at length the founding of the church by the regular citizens of Wasilla who got together and decided it would be a good idea to form thier own non-denominational church. She then talked to Sarah's former Pastor, Pastor Kalnins of the Assembly Of God Pentacostal Church that Sarah attended for a long time. Both men came across as honest men genuinely concerned with bringing religious values to the community. They are not Alaskan versions of "Pastor Wright" that some of the blood sucking vermin news media have desperately tried to make them out to be. And we saw some exclusive video from in the nside the Palin home with Sarah and Todd with thier children and Todd being questioned about how he feels in his role with the family. Though we haven't heard a lot from the First Gentleman, or "First Dude" as many refer to him, he came across as honestly loving his part in keeping the family a happy, healthy and unified. When he was asked if he felt intimidated by having a wife with such a powerful job, Sarah piped up and ( with an honest smile) she said that he's one of the toughest "Bosses" she's ever had when they go out on Todd's boat to run his commercial fishing business. Again Fox News and Greta Van Susteren should be applauded for not running with the frothing jackals who are only interested in gutting Sarah Palin's life story and destroying her personally, and instead present a clean and fair look at the reality of Sarah's personal life in Alaska.

HISTORY IS WAITING, SARAH PALIN MUST BE THERE

Posted by Mike Silverman on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 11:14:32 AM
 

Listen up. We have a profound moment in history to observe and act upon. Here are some of the key core values that Governor Sarah Palin represents;

* Pro Life,

* Pro cutting taxes

* Pro School Choice

* 100% Against embryonic Stem Cell Research,

* Pro second Amendment

* Pro military strength and the supports the war on terror.

* Does not support the theory of man-made global warming.

Governor Sarah Palin has all the credentials of a great Conservative leader, and the warm endearing personality of the typical neighborhood mom and wife caring for her family. An opportunity presents itself now for the Republican Party that has not been available since President Ronald Reagan left office. A genuine Conservative stands before us, not just a Conservative politician, but a down to earth woman who lives her daily life by the same Conservative core values that the great silent majority of Americans live by as a matter of individual moral choice. Sarah Palin is us. She is "us". She knows what "we" know, that there is a difference between right and wrong, good and evil, that moral values are not gray clouds of confusion that no one can decipher. She doesn't welcome the lunatic fringe as normal. The left wing press is scared to death of her. I see it. You can all see it. They are choking on their own tongues, because they know..., they know.... Sarah Palin is "not" their champion. Sarah is a "genuine" reflection of the same United States founding values that MOST OF THE COUNTRY LIVES, LOVES AND BELIVES IN..., not the three ring circus of modern liberalism highlighted by radical abortion views, gay marriage, loose borders, amoral sexual behavior, Banning guns, hatred of anything military, protecting bad public schools, etc..., the appearance of Sarah as a viable candidate for Vice President, and thus in line to potentially be President herself, has set off a one megaton nuclear explosion of hand-wringing desperation in the dank crevasses of Liberal institutions, and it has bubbled up through their greasy cauldrons of vitriol and hate in the form of childish vicious personal attacks on her. There is a truly profound moment here. The spirit of our nation's founders may live again in the form of a very American woman, Sarah Palin. This is not a time for doubts, not a time for equivocation. Our Founding Fathers believed in Providence. That very Providence has touched us here and now with a chance to turn this country's vision back to the foundation on which it was built. This gift MUST not pass us...,Sarah Palin MUST make it to the White House. We hold a profound moment in our country's history in our hands, and this Representative Republic that our forefathers had the wisdom to craft for us.., is the tool we must use now to validate the vision they had for this country. We must make sure it happens.

WHY RADICAL FEMINISTS FEAR SARAH PALIN

Posted by Mike Silverman on Sunday, September 07, 2008 8:04:45 AM
Somehow , being normal, being a typical human being is a bad thing in the eyes of modern radical feminists.  Fairness in the workplace is a genuine issue and at one time "feminists" who focused on that had a valid argument, but that issue is now used by radicals as a cover issue for the deeper vicious hatered of anyone who is not a social anarchist. Sarah Palin is not a feminist in this modern radical sense. She's not angry about the fact that she had to work hard to succeed, and not angry at men for being who they are. If men get in her face and try to stop her she gives them hell and defeats them , without needing to be a hate filled feminist to do so. She is a normal hard working woman who loves life and appreciates her family. Feminist groups today, such as NOW, are basically angry, hateful liberals. They see themselves as victims of society and the male gender. Sarah has shown that she doesn't play that game. She doesn't allow herself or her family to be anyone's vicitims. Here is an excerpt from the statement released by NOW chairwoman Kim Gandy on the selection of Sarah Palin; "Gov. Palin may be the second woman vice-presidential candidate on a major party ticket, but she is not the right woman. Sadly, she is a woman who opposes women's rights, just like John McCain." ...., A ridiculous statement in itself, but then..., we get to see the real problem that NOW has with Sarah is via the following exceprt... " In a gubernatorial debate, Palin stated emphatically that her opposition to abortion was so great, so total, that even if her teenage daughter was impregnated by a rapist, she would "choose life" -- meaning apparently that she would not permit her daughter to have an abortion.", ah ha...! So if you are pro-life... you are anti-woman. Pure insanity. That's the primary radical view that the NOW groupies cling to in thier hatred of Sarah. What else did the NOW chairwoman say? Only one other example came up in her press release..."Palin also had to withdraw her appointment of a top public safety commissioner who had been reprimanded for sexual harassment, although Palin had been warned about his background through letters by the sexual harassment complainant."..., and that's it. Sarah dropped an appointment she made because she didn't cleanly vet him. But when she found genuine evidence of the harassment claim being real she dropped him. ( by the way, the harassement claim, that he hugged and kissed a female employee, was made against him in 2005 over two years ago and resulted in a reprimand . He was not fired or sued over it. He maintains it was not sexual harassment.) Wow. How devastating ( not).  This is a pathetic, weak, and basically contrived reason for the radical feminsits to dispense with Sarah Palin.  This is why NOW is  viewed by many as a crackpot band of radical extremists firmly in the pocket of the Democrat Party.

Greta Van Susteren Doesn't Join The Attack Dogs

Posted by Mike Silverman on Sunday, September 07, 2008 6:22:44 AM

I hope a lot of people got the chance to see the excellent mini biography called "Sarah Palin, An American Woman" which aired on the Fox News cable station Saturday night. Fox News has its share of liberal takes, but it also has a reputation of looking clearly at all sides of a political matter. So I want to take a moment to thank the Fox News producers and Greta Van Susteren for presenting a fair look at Sarah's personal life and professional record. Greta is often pegged as a liberal, and yet liberals tend to hate her because she's not an extremist, has been critical of Barack Obama and hails from a small midwestern town and recently stated her view of midwestern values as a cut above the rest. Not the sort of things that would ingratiate her to the typical DC punditry. She has also been very fair on the record regarding Sarah Palin, chosing not to join the feeding frenzy of the left. Fox News has higher prime time-slot ratings than CNN, MSNBC, CBS news and NBC news, so it has to be a thorn in the side of the left wing hate-mongering attack dogs running the liberal meat grinder when Fox News puts such an unbiased report on the air about a Republican candidate. A lot of this mini-bio was in Sarah Palin's own words, from past interviews and recent exclusive interviews with Fox News.  How refreshing, letting viewers decide by letting Sarah talk about her family and career in her own words, and actually presenting her real associates, co-workers and friends talking about Sarah in thier own words. Even without shying away from mentioning potential local scandals such as the so called "troopergate" , this ended up a touchingly warm look at the Palin family and a fair review of Sarah's record. Sarah came out in a very impressive manner in this bio. I think anyone watching this would have to admit that Sarah is an impressive lady, hard working, loving to her family, politically successful, and geninuely honest about her feelings and her goals.
