And as for what they’re saying on the Left… — 8 Comments

  1. She is going to have to be ‘nice’ to the media now – and she can have them eating out of her hands, don’t hide, answer directly, and invite them to your bbq – she made her point, now rise above them.

  2. I also saw Point 3 on some left side blogs, and on CNN, where Jonathon Alter said (summarizing from memory):

    Repubs have been presenting Sarah Palin as a victim. Well, she’s not a victim now. And this means the media will not hold back.

    I laughed out loud. Between this, and the left continuing to talk about “experience”, I am constantly laughing the last few days.

  3. The Left are a bunch of cowards, their media propaganda apparatuses included. Once Sarah takes off the gloves, they’ll bow down in submission like they do to anybody else that challenges them, Neo.

    The editors of the main sewer media know what they can and cannot do. But sometimes they forget and you have to shave off a few of their limbs to remind them.

  4. Ack, it was Jeffrey Toobin on CNN, not Jonathan Alter. I tend to confuse those two. This also explains why I could not find the quote via googling! Anyway, courtesy of Newsbusters.org, here’s the exact Jeffrey Toobin post-speech on CNN quote I summarized from memory above:

    “But it was also, I thought, very smug, very sarcastic, very cutting. And you know what? The Republicans had been trying to portray her as a victim for the last couple days. Well, she’s not going to be a victim anymore. She’s going to be a target…”

  5. Hunters don’t become targets unless they are hunting water buffalo. Obama ain’t no water buffalo, though.

  6. And this means the media will not hold back.

    They’ve been holding back so far?

    Good God.

  7. And this means the media will not hold back.

    How’s about they do their job and report the news and stop taking sides. Is that too much to ask?

    Isn’t one of the most very basic precepts of journalism that you aren’t supposed to be a part of the story? Whatever happened to that?

  8. Gail Collins, Maureen Dowd, Andrea Mitchell, Soledad O’Brien have already sharpened their knives (hatpins?) and are going after Sarah Palin on a daily basis. As journalists, they are expected to be critical, but with the pass that has been given to Obama their sudden attentiveness to their craft seems all too one sided. Gloria Steinem penned a whining critique of Palin for the LA Times. I guess there are feminists and feminists* out there.
