Baltimore Sun Columnist Spews Venom Over Palin
NewsBusters ^ | September 3, 2008 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 09/03/2008 4:08:05 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

With the massive and desperate MSM attack upon Sarah Palin, there is a lot of competition in the venom spewing department. However, Baltimore Sun columnist Susan Reimer seems determined to make a strong bid for the most seriously deranged of all attacks upon Palin in her most recent column which starts out on her assumption that the Alaska governor is unqualified:

So. This is what being pandered to feels like.

John McCain picked Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska and mother of five, to be his running mate to woo women like me.

He seems to think that my girlfriends and I are so disappointed that an utterly qualified woman is not going to be president that we will jump at the chance to vote for an utterly unqualified woman for vice president.

So does that mean Reimer thinks Barack Obama, with no executive experience and a less than stellar incomplete senate term is also "unqualified?" She doesn't say as Reimer warms up for more attacks upon Palin:

Does McCain think we will be so grateful for a skirt on the ticket that we won't notice that she's anti-abortion, a member of the NRA and thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution?

His selection of Sarah Palin is insulting on so many levels that I am starting to feel like the Geico caveman.

Reimer might be feeling like a Geico caveman because that is exactly how she is acting, especially when she brings up the condition of Palin's youngest child to make political points:

You want to look good to the evangelicals? Choose a running mate with a Down syndrome child.

Reimer is sick. And can you detect a note of underlying jealousy in her column.

Yes, this streak of envy is becoming ever more obvious.

Beyond that, the vituperation in evidence evidences a moral degeneracy that, essentially, demands hypocrisy as the norm of human behavior, and is flummoxed and disoriented by principled consistency.

“You want to look good to the evangelicals? Choose a running mate with a Down syndrome child.”

That is a truly despicable thing to say.

Should I draw the conclusion then that if you want to look good to the anti-Christian, liberal bigots you choose a running mate who’s aborted a Down syndrome child?

hmm, yes she is. When Hillary’s husband ran for president and won, the lesbian front made a kind of rude comment concerning what they wanted to do with Ms Hillary.

FIRST check out the Alaska state webpages.
THEN tell me that governing Alaska is easy.

Barack is well-qualified to to be an events co-ordinator for a mid-sized corporation.

This really is beyond the pale. We need to fight back against the media. They are the ones doing this...although they try to pin it on the Leftie Kos Kids, it is the media who have ground that infant and a 17 yr. old girl into the dirt. They have no shame.

We need to start fighting back today. This is not politics, this is the systematic destruction of a family.

"...to woo women like me."

I'm trying to picture John McCain sitting down to make his final decision and saying, who can we get that will help me get Susan Reimer's vote.

Since Governor Sarah Palin has years of executive experience and Senators Hillary Clinton, Joseph Biden and Barack Obama don’t, what in the Hades is this woman talking about?!!

I found how the World had been misled by prostitute Writers,
to ascribe the greatest Exploits in War to Cowards,
the wisest Counsel to Fools,
Sincerity to Flatterers,
Roman Virtue to Betrayers of their Country,
Piety to Atheists,
Chastity to Sodomites,
Truth to Informers.

(III:8;5) Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift

I found how the World had been misled by prostitute
Writers, ABCNNBCBS, too many newspaper hacks.

Many others

the Baltimore Sun has devolved into no more than a bad high school newspaper.

Susan Reimer - obviously frustrated - is lashing out for attention by publishing some articles that are more of a cry for help than an example of decent journalism.

I don’t know if she’s frustrated that she can’t write for anything more than a fourth rate rag that is destined to be a weekly advertiser or her incredibly ugly physical appearance.

Reimer’s writing is a prime example of the vile and venom that can be spewed the morning after your batteries die.

I think I have spent more time reading the replies to these hit pieces than ever before. From what I’ve read, the readers are none too pleased with these articles.

In the For What It’s Worth Department, the following is going out via snail mail this morning:

Governor Sarah Palin

State Capitol Building
Third Floor
P.O. Box 110001
Juneau, AK 99811-0001

http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/

Madam Governor,

When you gave your acceptance speech, my wife Emily- former Democrat, former union member— stood up, and said:

“I want to vote for that woman!”

In the firestorm of dirt that has ensued- nothing has changed, except that she’d like to see you as President, now. The more trash the MoonBat Left tosses, the more adamant she becomes- as do I.

We sent you money, bought bumperstickers to go on our respective truck and car.

Stick with us- we are sticking with you.

Cordially,
XXX redacted to avoid Kooks...
