Her piece from yesterday:

These people really have some deep rooted fear of her. She has them curled on the floor in full fetal position. Not saying she is Reagan just yet but the potential is there judging from the response of her enemies.

This is yesterdays news.

Today's news is that Parker was scammed by seeing a heavily edited version of the interview (Couric’s direct involvement) that was designed to discredit Govenor Palin.

After Gibson/ABC scam, why hasn't the GOP figured this out and provided a crew to film and audio every interview as a backup?

Nazi propagandist Goebbels and other great propagandists in history would be proud of the work done by Katy Couric and CBS. Perky has become very very dark.

she already wrote a book, "Save the Males" (Amazon Sales Rank: 35,045, trailing such literary masterpieces as Pelosi's "Know your Power" Amazon Sales Rank: 22,513 ) Nothing more than the rantings of an elitest wannabee with a heavily airbrushed photo in the WashPost.

Hey,Kathleen...watch it. Sarah’s a good enough multitasker that she can bring home the bacon after hunting it down and field dressing it,fry it up in the pan with a baby on her hip, be an outstanding VP AND whip your a$$ all at the same time and look gorgeous doing it!

w-what’s that....? HUH! I didn’t think so!!!

[svcw]

Yea, lets get rid of the only person to energize the conservative base.
What a moron.

[FreeInWV]

I find many of National Review Online’s writers to be complete duds. They have a neocon agenda with liberal tradeoffs which I feel is the last thing we need right now.

If they had their way, JulieAnnie would be the nominee.

I have heard similar rumblings this week from some East Coast residents. They seem to think that Sarah Palin is a dumb redneck - and these are not left-wing moonbats talking. It's a cultural issue, perhaps - they hear her speak and to their ears she sounds uneducated and out of her depth. Perhaps it is because of her accent or idioms, but Palin is definitely turning off some people who might otherwise be tempted to vote for McCain.

Just an observation, so please don't shoot the messenger. I like her. I think she's got a good deal to learn about the details of national policy, but that's not a fatal flaw for a 1st-time VP.

...BO might.

Palin will pave the road for Obama. She makes me cringe every time she is interviewed. The debate will expose her once and for all as the dumbest move by the stupid party in recent history.

Bookmark it.

Jealousy, thy name is Woman, or more specifically, Kathleen.

If Sarah is having some difficulties in her interviews, FIRST, let’s realize that she’s sitting across from people who are DISPLAYING OPEN CONTEMPT FOR HER. Ever try to be interviewed by someone who shows no respect, isn’t even trying to be cordial.

Second, the McCain SHOULD have prepared her better. Or just taken the stance, ‘we’re not going to sit her down with the drive-by because they are biased.’

I can flat out guarantee you, the only people who would scream about it are the MSM and the lefties. We supporters could care less that CBS gets to interview her. All it did was give them more to use to make fun of her.

We like GOVERNOR PALIN precisely because she isn’t one of them, that same WASHINGTON CROWD that Miss Kathie is part of.

When the MSM agrees with a conservative, you know the MSM's opinion is worthless!

Perhaps it is because of her accent or idioms, but Palin is definitely turning off some people who might otherwise be tempted to vote for McCain.

I would say you are wrong on this point. People do not in general vote VP.

If you are correct, she is bringing more people to JM than she would be losing.

Palin has energized the conservative base. Candidates who draw crowds in tens of thousands are not driving people away.

[PLD]

I wonder what this nitwit is getting paid by the DNC to write this stuff..Now if she was talking about Obama I could understand he is such an idiot..Looks like he is caught in the headlights of a car when he has to get up and debate anyone..If anything happened to McCain,Sarah would do a grand job in Washington and I really think she could handle those snotty democrat idiots..

Kathleen Parker needs to put the hallucinogens away.

As well as the space bong, Demerol and Quaaludes.

Whhhheeeeeeeeeewww.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

This is bulletin board material for SP.

She needs to use this to her advantage.

[snowrip]

Methinks the democrats doth protest too much.

“Palin will pave the road for Obama. She makes me cringe every time she is interviewed. The debate will expose her once and for all as the dumbest move by the stupid party in recent history. Bookmark it.”

In your dreams. She did fine in her interviews. The liberals were hoping and looking for a mistake, but the best they could come up with were duds (i.e., what was the Bush foreign terror policy, etc.). She is a winner and will win this election for McCain.

[dollmaker]

It would be a huge mistake to dump Palin, but, she is not loved by all republicans, no matter what anyone wants to think. My father, a life long conservative republican, doesn't think she is qualified and thinks she was a bad choice. There are some questions about her now, and to ignore those -or to make light of those- may well not be good in the long run. She has to get out in front of the narrative that is developing about her in the press-or they will bury her.

The SeeBS and abc editors won’t be able to do a hatchet job on Governor Palin during the debates. Let’s wait and see. What we saw with Couric and Gibson is what the Obama supporters at abc and SeeBS wanted us to see.
