ENQURIER RESPONDS TO MCCAIN/PALIN
Drudge ^

Posted on 09/03/2008 4:13:52 PM PDT by cdchik123

"The National Enquirer's coverage of a vicious war within Sarah Palin's extended family includes several newsworthy revelations, including the resulting incredible charge of an affair plus details of family strife when the Governor's daughter revealed her pregnancy. Following our John Edwards' exclusives, our political reporting has obviously proven to be more detail-oriented than the McCain campaign's vetting process. Despite the McCain camp's attempts to control press coverage they find unfavorable, The Enquirer will continue to pursue news on both sides of the political spectrum."

They are terrified that a conservative woman will become the first VP.

When some in the self-righteous political elite tried to smear a woman for their political careers, Jesus responded by writing their own sins on the ground, in the middle of the Temple in Jerusalem, the most trafficked area in all of Palestine. He laid bare their own sins for all to see.

My point: Senator McCain, this isn't going to end until you return the favor! Don't stop saying the name of William Ayers until November 5.

The NE link is back to the Clintons, and they’ll smear Hillary’s enemies on either side of the aisle. Of course, such as in Edwards’ case, it’s made easier if the smear is true and can be documented.

The National Enquirer gained some respect with their John Edwards story. Too bad they chose to blow it so quickly with this garbage. I hope McCain sues them even if he can't win.

I remember Carol Burnett suing the Enquirer for calling her drunk in public.

I also remember her winning.

The fact that they got the Edwards story right (plus they had photos) doesn’t mean they have this one right. If I recall correctly from other threads, this is being promulgated by a Palin “enemy.” It wouldn’t surprise me if her ex brother-in-law was behind it - using his proximity to the family as proof of his credibility.

"a vicious war within Sarah Palin's extended family"

They only extended relation at war with Palin, is the man who THREATENED TO MURDER her father.

includes several newsworthy revelations, including the resulting incredible charge of an affair

LOL, "the affair" is now the "charge" of an affair from a man who THREATENED TO MURDER her father.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t I read somewhere that some old Clintonista skunk bought the NE rag? I thought I heard about that four or five years ago.

Did the mainstream media ever really do any reporting on Edwards?

But Hillary’s people own the Enquirer.

Hillary wants to destroy Palin even more than she wants to destroy Obama.

Don’t let them fool you folks. They knew what Edwards was all about. They knew others knew.

Can ya think this was all about giving them some kind of credibility later? This revelation about Edwards was old hat sent toward a candidate that was dead meat anyway. Who really cares about John Edwards or his tramp momma of his kid? Where is the grand finale on the Edwards story?

I see Hillary behind all of this.

Yep, that’d be one Roger Altman. Flying Clinton monkey who served in his treasury department.

Too bad that Weekly World News went out of business.

They’d keep us informed with news we could depend on.

(Is it true that BatBoy is the illegitimate love child of Obama. Take a look at their pics next to each other if you can find them.)

Yes Sir. Why hasn’t the Enquirer printed Mr. Sinclair’s incredible charge? He has made his charge publicly and he has done it without the cloak of an un-named enemy.

If it is true ... and that's a BIG, BIG, BIG, BIG if; I don't believe everything I read, but I can't in good conscience say there's absolutely nothing to it either, because only God and the Palins know for sure, none of the rest of us do... then what you said needs to be done sooner rather than later. The more it lingers, the worse it's going to be.

If it's not true, then McCain should take legal action simply for the P.R. standpoint of appearing to fight for his choice, because it will be tough to prove in court that the Enquirer did this maliciously knowing up front that it was false, which is the standard that a public figure has to meet to win a libel case. Even if they can't meet that standard, though, him fighting for his wronged running mate will be a great move politically (and morally too).

torrid affair between Governor Palin, Bigfoot

Gov. Palin would shoot Bigfoot, then field dress him.
