The McCain Classless Cowards
Michelle Malkin ^ | 11/05/08 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 11/06/2008 3:38:47 AM PST by DocT111

The anonymous trashing of Sarah Palin by blabbermouth McCain aides who are leaking to Fox News is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

Allah’s got the vid clip of a report citing unnamed McCain staffers accusing Palin of lacking, in Carl Cameron’s words, “knowledgeability.” More slime here. And here.

At least all the Hollywood and Manhattan Palin-haters were willing to sign their names and put their faces on their attacks.

Let’s assume the rumor-mongers are telling the truth for a moment. Who does it damn more: Sarah Palin or McCain and his vetters who green-lighted her for the vice presidential nomination? Don’t need an Ivy League degree to figure that one out.

Sarah Palin worked her heart out. She energized tens of thousands to come out who would have otherwise stayed home. She touched countless families. I didn’t agree with everything she said on the campaign trail. But two fundamental conservative stands she took mattered greatly to me: She vigorously defended the Second Amendment and the sanctity of life more eloquently in practice than any of the educated conservative aristocracy.

And she did it all with a tirelessness and infectious optimism that defied the shameless, bottomless attempts by elites in both parties to bring her and her family down.

Shame on the smearers who don’t have the balls to show their faces.

Thank you, Sarah Palin. Thank you for stepping up the plate and serving your country.

LOL.. Where were these aides when their man was stuttering around and bumbling the bailout package?

What dips.

It was the late-added presence of SARAH which energized an otherwise moribund and apathetic conservative voting base.

It was SARAH who drew record-shattering crowds, everywhere she went on behalf of a sour and ungrateful McCain campaign.

Friendly little word of warning to any/all RINOs out there reading this, and thinking about standing in the way between this woman and the conservative base that adores her, anytime during the next four years:

You're expendable to us. SHE isn't.

Sarah Palin was by far the highlight of this campaign season. She represents me and I wish her and her wonderful family well.

Made my teeth grind when I saw what they were doing to Palin after the loss.

Politics is a filthy business to be in. The more honest and truth-telling you are, the worse you are demeaned by the spinners.

Sarah Palin is far too good a human to mess with it - perhaps she can accomplish much more in reaching people by other more positive methods.

I hope we in the public venue never lose our touch with her.

I’d agree with you. But the left sees her as a threat. Which she is. They will continue their character assassination campaign.

The problem was at the top of the ticket. When the primaries were concluded I knew we were sunk.

Now if only I can keep my spirits up during the week so I can get my work done. It doesn’t help that I am surrounded by smug Obama-ites at work. Although they are not gloating in my face (one even tried to clumsily comfort me by praising McCain’s concession speech, not exactly comforting), it is still a bitter pill to swallow, and I don’t think today is going to be much better.

If she was so bad, why did the RNC have the highest ratings ever?

Why did 70 million people watch her debate vs. Biden?

Why SNL had the highest rating in 14 years when she appeared?

Sarah defended LIFE. With out life nothing else matters.
I love Sarah Palin. The left trashes her, the media trashes her, and now the right trashes her.. God bless this woman. She has taken more then any one I have ever read about... She never whined about any of it.. She is what we need. The rest of the jerks can kiss my A$$.

Ditto all of the above! McCain had a pathetic, limp campaign going until he chose Sarah. I would have held my nose and voted for him but on election day, I was happy to cast my vote for Sarah on that ticket.

She saved the McCain campaign the embarassment of losing by a landslide, end of argument.

Exactly, When McCain was mumbeling inchoerently about Wall Street greed for two weeks, because he didn’t understand the actual cause of the financial crisis, or who really was to blame, it was his ignorance that cost him the election. Honestly, when McCain would say one stupid thing after another during that fiasco and when he publicly said that Obama would make a good president, I thought to myself, McCain wasn’t kidding when he said that he finished at the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy.

VictoryGal:

Chin up. Chin up. We have to realize that liberal elitism is now status quo. That’s ok.

Sarah Palin represents cloth coat Republicans. Not turn coat Republicans. Not East Coast Republicans.

We will see her to the Whitehouse.

Make it your mantra. Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat!

There, feel better?

This is all good. Lines now need to be drawn and the clearer they are, the better.

I’m starting a “dead to me” list.

Did anyone forget she actually has a NEW BABY? She was running and energizing crowds while dealing with a new baby.

I think this is a belated effort to diminish her. This has to be comming from two fronts. One from beltway mccainiacs and poedesta attackers.

BTW McCain followed Dole around in 1996 and apparently THAT was his model for his campaign.

(as for the africa comment, I know a few rap fans who don’t understand africa is a continent not a country)

Let’s all just list **ALL** of the top 20 central figures in the McCain campaign and blame them all for not pointing out the most evil ones in their midst. Hold them accountable and brand them and their credibility for future work, unless/until the most guilty parties are fingered or come forth on their own.

Let’s start with John McCain, himself - make that 21, then.

I’m getting late sleep. Someone start listing every known McCain staffer, please. Keep adding to the list. Maybe we’ll come up with more. Thirty people sucking up campaign contributions?

TOP TWENTY, GUILTY OF NOT OUTING THE EVIL DOERS:

1. John McCain
2. Rick Davis
3. Steve Schmidt
4. ____________ whassisname, McCain’s long time sidekick
5. Michael Goldfarb, whoever that is
6.
7.
8.
etc... go for it!

If you know their positions, list that too. If you don’t want to do it publicly, just sitemail me, so I can list their names in future posts.
