The Far Left Whack Attack

Attacks Masquerading as Journalism

Sarah Palin and the smear tactics she and her family have faced from certain individuals of the far left, namely ultra-liberal elitists and the MSM in the name of "fair gaming", has some in the world of journalism taking note and distancing themselves from the modern day French Fops of the Far Left.

Tom Gross, a former Middle East correspondent for London’s Sunday Telegraph, writing for the NRO, points out some of the latest smears and rumors that have traveled like wildfire across cyberspace as well as print editions of some of the "venerable" newspapers such as the Washington Post. Gross points out just some of the smears and rumors which have spewed out from the Far Left, including the Washington Post's Richard Cohen in an opinion piece, who compared Sarah Palin to Caligua's horse. Gross pointed out the "outcry" if the paper had done the same to "any other" politician.

Richard Cohen, writing an opinion piece in the Washington Post made this pithy remark about Palin:

"One of the great sights of American political life -- a YouTube moment if ever there was one -- was to see the doughboy face of Newt Gingrich as he extolled the virtues of Sarah Palin, a sitcom of a vice presidential choice and a disaster movie if she moves up to the presidency: "She's the first journalist ever to be nominated, I think, for the president or vice president, and she was a sportscaster on local television," Gingrich said on the "Today" show. "So she has a lot of interesting background. And she has a lot of experience. Remember that, when people worry about how inexperienced she is, for two years she's been in charge of the Alaska National Guard."

It's a pity Gingrich was not around when the Roman Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known by his nickname Caligula, reputedly named Incitatus as a consul and a priest. Incitatus was his horse."

Interestingly enough, Cohen's smarmy hit-piece on Palin contains the same faux outrage as other elitists when he wrote about his "horror" when McCain nominated the Governor of Alaska:

"John McCain's selection of Palin, which I first viewed with horror, could now be seen in a different light. Based on various television interviews over the Labor Day weekend -- and a careful reading of the transcripts -- it is possible that this is McCain's attempt to make fools of his fellow Republicans. He has succeeded beyond all expectations."

Why would Cohen be "horrified", when we're quite aware Mr. Cohen and his cronies, who doth protest over Palin too much, would never deign to vote for a Republican?

Rather than show some class, any class, and admit he’d vote for an Obama, Al Gore, or John Kerry, versus any Republican, Cohen chose to take the road that runs under the metropolitan sewer system by trashing not only Sarah Palin but also the state of Alaska and Republicans. Cohen wasn’t content to tar and feather Palin when he stroked his overblown ego by tearing down the candidate of the opposing party, he went after the citizens of the state of Alaska who voted for Palin as their Governor as well as the entire Republican base.

What are some of the lies, half-truths, statistics and hack attacks on or about Palin parading as journalism?

Conservatives and MSM watchers--the list is much the same--are making a list and checking it twice: the list of far-left hacks masquerading as "journalists".

While visiting my Dem friends after work, we watched a bit of MSNBC. Keith Olberman sounded unusually shrill and upset in his nightly rantings. Keith later interviewed the Messiah, and the look of love and adoration was unmistakeable.
