McCain Campaign: News Media Demanding DNA Testing of Palin Family
Tuesday, September 2, 2008 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/02/2008 8:04:10 PM PDT by kristinn

McCain presidential campaign strategist Steve Schmidt went on the record with the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz today, revealing the depths to which the mainstream media has sunk in their efforts to destroy the family of Republican vice presidential pick Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Schmidt said that the campaign has been deluged with demands from reporters that the Palin family submit to DNA testing to assuage baseless rumors promulgated by the Democratic party's favorite website, the Daily Kos.

Schmidt accused the media of being "on a mission to destroy" Sarah Palin.

Kurtz writes that Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the Daily Kos, believes the made up allegations against Palin and her daughter are legitimate. Kurtz fails to note that Moulitsas writes for the Post's sister publication, Newsweek.

Schmidt also said reporters are demanding to see the birth certificate for Palin's newborn.

The news media is treading on dangerous ground with their despicable behavior regarding the Palin family. They are arousing an anger in Americans all across the country who see themselves in the Palin family and are beyond outrage over how they have been trashed.

I hope the McCain camp starts to respond to the DNA requests with the stock answer:
"Only candidates must show eligibility for the office of President and Trig is not running. Feel free to request birth certificates from all candidates."

Yep, I’ve thought for years that this kind of crap would someday start a civil war. I’ve also hoped I could live my years out without seeing it, but maybe that won’t be possible. Maybe the “tree needs watering”

I agree but given that Howard Wolfson said exactly that tonight, one has to wonder if there is any strategy that hasn’t been scenario-tested by the leftists for spinning and twisting the truth.

are SURE Dueling is not legal in the convention state? Perhaps they forgot to make it illegal...

The fact these reporters admit they are in bed with a soros website should be grounds for termination.

I’m thinking all of these rats need to be hit HARD with a lawsuit. Slander. Libel. Where in the world are Palin’s lawyers?????

Our libel laws are horrible when it comes to "public" figures. People don't realize how easy it is to become a "public" figure in terms of these laws.

Once you are a "public" figure, there is an extremely onerous burden of proof on you to prove malicious intent. Once in a great while, you'll hear of a celebrity who beat the odds and won a libel suit. I don't recall ever hearing of a politician who did.

I think calmness is in order, but I have been convinced that these degenerate swine will not be happy until they force the development of a national front party.

And that makes three: Kirsten Powers, Megan and then Lis Weihl.

Yes, the Dems are starting to look a little browned on one side, but I suspect not nearly so much as the chefs have in mind.

This has to be satire. They can’t possibly be serious.

I am sorry, but the most infuriating thing to me about all this is that the MSM and the bloggers can get away with this Who is going to stand up to them? What can be done? Does the average apathetic American even care enough about it? I hope so but I fear not.

In reality, these dirtbags can do whatever the heck they want with impunity and no one, no one will ever say enough loud enough or do something bold enough to stop them.

Have great faith...the evil is being revealed to the fence sitters...they are outraged too, I’m sure of it!

The best thing to happen to us as Americans is to have a ralling cry...this is certain

“I’m Canadian, but...how do I donate to the McCain/Palin campaign?”

Bless your heart (and great judgment)! Of course you can do that. BHO has had MANY non-US people/groups donating to his own campaign (enough said:-)))

If you want to donate to John and Sarah’s campaign, here’s the link - http://www.johnmccain.com/

It's impossible to turn off the moonbat tag once it has been invoked.

The other side has to get over its allergy to guns before they would be at all effective on the barricades.

Or perhaps they see themselves as the Paris Commune? That worked out pretty typical for them.

They don’t give a crap about DNA or birth certificates. They just want to bully her into withdrawing.

Bada bing! The MSM is terrified of a debate between Sen. "Pluggsie" Biden and Gov. Palen. If she eviscerates Biden, and she will, she by definition has eviscerated Obama, since Biden is the more experienced of the dem candidates. The only way the MSM can stop this is to destroy her now, before the debates.
