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.
That would still be overlapping 4 months.
Oh, man. This is an outrage on humanity. I’m Canadian, but...how do I donate to the McCain/Palin campaign? I’m serious, anyone got the details?
Palin has “it” and she is a conservative . That’s why the liberal mainstream media hates her and is scared to death of her. Reagan had “it” too.
Liberals are in full panic mode because the American people are learning about this great woman, Palin. I can’t wait to see her speak at the convention tomorrow . I am so excited!
How dare these socialists/Democrats attack this woman and her children so unfairly and so viciously 24/7 all over the media. Have you no shame , liberals?
The liberals/Democrats/Marxists who run and populate the mainstream media are frightened to death of Palin. They are scared because finally we have a conservative woman who can win and become president and stop the Democrats’ socialist expansion of government.
Palin/Tancredo in 2012
or Tancredo/Palin in 2012
Long live the protector of the U.S. border, the defender of faith and freedom, long live Tom Tancredo!
Long Live Sarah Palin!
The Palins should not say a word. Anything they did say would be turned around so many times anyway. Once Sarah has won, they should pound KOS into the ground and sue the pants off the cretin.
Part of what’s going on is that the left is struggling on just how to discredit Palin. If McCain had selected a black man, their task would have been easy. Whenever a black conservative comes along, they simply dismiss him as being an ‘Uncle Tom’, or ‘Not black enough.’ There is no way, however, they can dismiss Palin as ‘Not woman enough.’ So, they come up with all the crap they can because their usual victimhood / evil republican smears won’t work. And, as with many things, they will overplay their hand and, I think, the MSM is along for the ride. The internet public, however, is smart enough to smell this much crap. They will, indeed, overplay their hand on this one.
Keep it up a**holes! As much as I hate this despicable behavior and hate hearing this trash, it will guarantee Gov. Palin as our VP in November.
It is obvious that the media is going even lower than you can imagine.....and they can stay there in the depths of Hell where they belong!!!
They have not yet begun to sink. Just wait.
Three letters should be the reply to the demand for DNA: GFY.
These liberals don’t realize that the birth certificate question if totally valid for the one running for office, but has no bearing on any family members of that person.
LIBERALS ARE IDIOTS!
The media beasts have sought to put the Palin family on trial. It is the media themselves who are on trial but they are too arrogant to realize it.
I’m sure Karl Rove’s got a machine to handle that.
If even half of Americans feel the way I do about this whole thing.....the Dims are in a world of hurt come November .....no matter what the damn polls say...... ;)
We still don’t have a birth certificate for Oblahblah, but the Palins must “submit” to DNA testing:
Un-freaking-believable.
Up is down, down is up.
Black is white, white is black.
Of interest to you, simply because MSM reporters and outlets are demanding such things.
The Democrats and the Drive-Bys have become nothing but brainless, evil juveniles.
I know. Just a light correction
These ridiculous demands are going to cause one huge backlash for the McCain-Palin ticket.
Prayers lifted for the Palin family so that they will find strength in their family and that they will embrace each other tightly in the face of all this trash from the leftist media.
This kind of garbage antics will do nothing but ignite a firestorm among voters.
