Sarah Palin: An "unholy amalgam"?
Yahoo! News ^ | Thu Jul 2, 10:40 am ET

Posted on 07/05/2009 8:26:43 AM PDT by Radio Free American?

The latest issue of Vanity Fair isn't even on newsstands yet and it's already making headlines for a not-so-politely titled article, "It Came from Wasilla," about Gov. Sarah Palin.

William Kristol at the Weekly Standard is calling it a "hit piece," taking writer Todd Purdum to task for his "dubious claims." A blogger at the Atlantic writes that the article "paints a gruesome picture" of the governor. Politico's Jonathan Martin mulls the "political fallout from the very tough piece."

The more they go after her the more I stand with her. I would love to have 5 minutes with any of these asshats.

Amazing the vitriol that they have for her. I really believe that the pent up Bush Derangement Syndrome has found its outlet in Sarah Palin.

We know that these libs cannot survive without being angry at someone, and they are not going to focus their rage at the President. So, Palin it is I guess.

The left hates people of (Christian) faith and they have turned their sights on Sarah. God bless her and keep her srong, I think she is a great woman and plan to say so at every opportunity!

I wonder if that will change the release of this article.

For the life of me, I’ll never understand what it is about Sarah Palin that drives liberals absolutely, bat-sh!t crazy.

Sarah just made a game-changing move. This’ll upset the liberal hater’s agenda big time. She is no longer a sitting duck and they had counted on having her held captive in AK for another couple years.

Let’s see how bold they are when Sarah and her supporters are free to fight back.

I have not rad or seen the Vanity Fair article yet, but my hunch is it is filled with “unnamed sources”, or “other sources confirm, yada, yada, yada. Seems as if the folks who are saying bad things about Sarah Palin are afraid of her or do not exist except in the author's mind. I'll bet a nickel to a donut McCain's campaign manager Schmidt is the source of a lot of the drivel these clowns write as “fact”, instead of “alleged facts.” I'm sick of the whole MSM anyway, so it won't really matter much to me.

The best i can figure is a bad tooth filling. But who knows. It could be a reference to a mutant comic book character, but that should have been capitalized.

Amalgam, a mixture of different elements. In this case they mean an unholy or evil mixture. I guess that depends on which side you are viewing it from!

It looks like VF had best make sure they have their facts correct or they might be facing legal trouble. If they repeat any of the lies that have proven false in public, they might end up in court.

It would be great if the media had to pay Palin’s debt accrued defending herself from the Left’s slanders. A big settlement might end up pushing some of these propaganda machines into bankruptsy. She might have enough money to put her in the postition of funding the promotion of her agenda on the media’s dime.

Yes she does. She has a way of communicating with the great unwashed that makes them very afraid. I personally believe it was the same with the way Reagan could communicate with the people.

Exactly!

Media sharks like Todd Purdum smell blood in the water and they will continue to pound on Sarah Palin and cause as much pain and agony as possible.

I have just invented a new internet product.

Forget the “digg” and other recommendation systems. Let's have a MEDIA BIAS meter on each article! After reading the article, the reader could rate the bias. In fact, let's lobby Congress to REQUIRE it on all news postings on the internet -- kind of like the Fairness Doctrine.

Yep! Obama is a creature of marketing & branding. Sarah is the real deal. Without Oprah, Obama would still be in the senate.

On another topic: I wonder what Hillary is doing behind the scenes? Hard to believe she’s happy with her position and in full support of Mr. O. Would love to know what little schemes she has up her sleeve.

She has done the honorable thing. Whether she chooses to run for POTUS or works to elect conservative representatives, she has chosen to not let the taxpayers finance her endeavors as opposed to the community organizer and other congresspeople who rape the taxpayers by not carrying out their elected duties while they campaign on the taxpayers moneies for two years or more.

I know what would drive them totally off the cliff,
Sarah putting her long form birth certificate on her Facebook site, and simply stating
“so that you can be assured that if I seek higher office, I am a natural born citizen”

I’m afraid people are misreading this. Her stated reasons for not running for re-election and resigning are because of the...

$2,000,000 and all the official time that “opposition research” and ethics lawsuits have cost the State of Alaska, and,

$500,000 in legal defense bills that those actions have personally cost her.

If she stayed in office, those debts would likely increase, possibly exponentially.

I don’t know about you, but I would not be able to handle a bill of that size w/o declaring bankruptcy. I don’t get why people don’t see this.

I’m not sure this is a good move or not, but her motives are completely understandable to me (and I am a big fan!).

She frightens them so badly that they can’t even speak her name without their heads spinning and vomit coming from their mouths. This lady could well cause an exorcism in America. That fear is palpable because both the left and the slimes in the GOP both know what they are and that their existence is an abomination to this nation.
