ABC's Gibson grilled Palin hard, but it may backfire

"The double-standard Gibson applied to Palin, compared with the uncritical media platforms repeatedly offered to Obama, who has had zero executive experience running anything, was especially striking."

You can put white wash on a fraud, but he is still a fraud.

She’s running for one of the most powerful offices in this nation, I WANT her answering the hard questions.

Gibson was out to embarrass Palin and expose her presumed ignorance from the word go. By contrast, when Obama referred to his “Muslim faith” on Sunday and did not correct himself, Stephanopoulos rushed in at once to help him and emphasize that the senator had really meant to say his Christian faith.

Oh yes, it will. The American people are not only fed up with the double standard and blatant partisanship of the MSM, they are fit to be tied over the arrogance and condescension.

Blowback promised. Delivered November 4.

Let’s see how Sarah does in round two!

Did UPI jump off the Obama boat?

[grumpa]

Gibson’s performance makes me appreciate the guys at Fox News even more. The Fox guys, while they would ask the tough questions, would never be so condescending to Barack Obama or Joe Biden.

I am so miffed that I would punch fat-arsed charlie in the nose.

The MSN homepage has another Palin hit piece, emphasizing her "mistake" in not understanding the pre-emptive strike policy, under title "Palin defends record" - implying that her record is so substandard that it needs defending.

Makes ya sick.

[KansasGirl]

Gibson is a elitist jerk and know everyone knows it.

[DogBarkTree]

When Sarah eventually occupies the Oval Office the Libtards are really gonna choke on the Palin Doctrine.

Go Sarah Go!

God Bless McCain and Palin

I thought at first she should have gone after Gibbon but by holding her temper she should a greater professionalism.

[Chaguito]

Well, I don't know if it was intentional, but her attitude of friendliness with Charlie only made him look like an idiot pinhead professor, with his oh-so-superior body language.

Also, I don't know if it was intentional, but her comment, "Did you know you can see Russia from Alaska," with a great big innocent smile, seemed to me a little trap for the "intellectual." At the very least it caused him to become even more supercilious.

[VeniVidiVici]

Right. Asking whether or not it was appropriate to ask people to pray for soldiers in Iraq is a tough question.

Slanted and biased would be better adjectives.

[lildoc511]

Go Sarah Go!

God Bless McCain and Palin

No argument here...but I also want her opponents from the Democrat ticket to receive and answer hard questions as well. So often, that is not the case.
