Even CNN's Peter Hamby is Effectively Calling the Vanity Fair Hit Piece against Palin a Lie

It's not looking good for Vanity Fair when CNN's Peter Hamby has joined liberals such as Ben Smith, Dave Weigel, race-baiter Charles Blow, and Kirsten Powers in denouncing the Vanity Fair hit piece.

Hamby tweets:

@benpolitico is right re: VF article. I was w/ Palin for entire VP bid. never got a hint that she "lashed out at the slightest provocation"

Meaning

Well, in all fairness it’s not like the Left could ever win by simply telling the truth...

The pipes aren't made to carry cheap, stiff newsprint like that, so do be careful.

I'd pass this guy's name on to BATF to see where he was when that church was burned in Alaska. If he'll lie about anger management questions he'll lie about anything.

This is the 4 or 5th hit piece done on Gov. Palin by Vanity Fair in the past two years

Oh... So that’s why posting “Vanities” is frowned upon here.

Who knew?

Vanity Fair has always been bad, but recently it has been bad on steroids. But what else can you expect of a magazine that named itself after this passage from John Bunyan?


Then I saw in my dream, that, when they were got out of the wilderness, they presently saw a town before them, and the name of that town is Vanity; and at the town there is a fair kept, called Vanity Fair. It is kept all the year long...

Therefore at this fair are all such merchandise sold as houses, lands, trades, places, honors, preferments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusts, pleasures, and delights of all sorts, as whores, bawds, wives, husbands, children, masters, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold, pearls, precious stones, and what not.

And, moreover, at this fair there are at all times to be seen juggling, cheats, games, plays, fools, apes, knaves, and rogues, and that of every kind.

Here are to be seen, too, and that for nothing, thefts, murders, adulteries, false swearers, and that of a blood-red color.

John Bunyan, The Pilgrim’s Progress, Chapter 6

Thanks for the excerpt on the origin of the term "Vanity Fair".

Bunyan's description aptly describes this rag to a tee. He didn't mince words, did he, LOL.

Ecclesiastes 1:14........"I have seen all the work done under the sun, and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit."

All the Generation X, Y and Z readers of Vanity Fair will be paying off Obama debt for generations. They have no idea that the left is setting them up for this burden by feeding them lies now to make them hate, hate so deeply that they do not see reality.

Governor Palin tweets:

When yellow journalism gets ratcheted up for a period of time over an individual or an issue it makes u wonder what's up? What's the threat?
