Bashing Sarah

When John McCain introduced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate in 2008 Presidential campaign, it should have been viewed as a breath of fresh air. Palin was young, vibrant and articulate (Not to mention VERY attractive). She had an opportunity to achieve the highest position in this country’s history for a woman. You would have thought that the country, as a whole, would have respected this fact. After all, we were reminded everyday about the historical significance of Barrack Obama’s presidential campaign. The media showed their love for him every day (and still do!).

But instead of showing respect, the Democrats took every opportunity to bash Palin. Even women’s organizations opposed her! Why? Probably because she doesn’t believe in killing unborn babies (aka abortion). The libs like to embrace Pro-Choice. If they really feel that it’s a woman’s right to “choose”, why did they have a problem with Palin “choosing” to not to kill her unborn baby??

While the typical liberal talking heads kissed Obama’s ass every night, they slammed Sarah Palin every chance they could. The ironic part was that Palin was only running for Vice-President. You would have thought the silly libs would have been more concerned with John McCain. I never fully understood this.

As if the verbal attacks weren’t bad enough, many of the liberal talk shows invited the father of Palin’s grandchild into their studios. There, they used the teenage boy to bad-mouth Palin. I didn’t even think the loony left was low enough to do something like this. Obviously, I was wrong.

The criticism and ridicule of Palin continued throughout the campaign. In fact, it still continues today! Here are just a few examples of the vicious, low class attacks on the former Vice-Presidential candidate and her family:

• Saturday Night Live did a skit where they portrayed Palin’s husband as the father of Palin’s granddaughter. Calling this classless is an understatement.

• David Letterman recently made a lame joke about Palin’s teenage daughter being “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez at a New York Yankees game during the seventh inning stretch. Real brave to pick on a kid, you gap-toothed prick!

• Intellectual heavyweight Pamela Anderson simply said of Palin, “I can’t stand her. She can suck it.” Well, I guess Pam does know a thing or two about sucking.

• "Us" magazine plastered the front cover with a photo of Palin holding her infant son, Trig. The name of the cover story? Babies, Lies & Scandals. I personally wouldn’t wipe my ass with this magazine.

• Oprah refused to have Palin on her show. She pledged her allegiance to Obama and wasn’t going to compromise her support for her “brother”. I guess race trumps everything?

• A group calling themselves “Anonymous” hacked into Palin’s private email account. Then they posted her emails and password online.

• The National Enquirer ran a story about Palin having an extramarital affair when she was mayor of Wasilla. The story was bullshit and the NE’s smear tactic quickly fizzled out.

• A writer (her worthless name escapes me) for the liberal rag, Baltimore Sun, actually criticized Palin for NOT aborting her Down’s Syndrome baby.

With Sarah Palin’s recent resignation as Governor of Alaska, the liberal media now has a new reason the step up the bashing again. The sad part is that I believe that it was this very thing that caused her to step down. I wish she would have stuck it out. I’m afraid her political career might well be over as a result of her resignation.

Hey, I know politics is a dirty game. If you want to attack a politician on the issues, that’s one thing. But I was truly amazed at the personal attacks that Sarah Palin had to endure throughout the campaign. It was probably the lowest form of political mudslinging that I’ve ever seen. All those responsible should be ashamed of themselves.
