The typical Michael Medved slam at Sarah Palin. Insulting Palin’s supporters as ‘rightwing true believers’, dismissing her accomplishments as governor and making a false comparison to Obama, who, in 2008, had fewer accomplishments on his resume. Medved tries to pretend that the comparison to Obama is only valid in 2012, although he does make it clear that Obama’s presidential ‘accomplishments’ are hardly worthy of respect. Medved’s erroneous and insulting conclusion is that Sarah Palin is only getting media attention because she is an attractive female and if she were a dumpy older woman - or a dumpy man - no one would care about her. What a crock. Apparently Michael Medved hasn’t figured out that Sarah Palin brings more than a pretty face to the 2012 presidential race, including her accomplishments, her integrity and honesty. For conservatives, Sarah Palin brings conservative values she has lived, not simply talked about.She has authenticity and yes, charisma. Medved pretending that Sarah Palin is nothing more than a media curiosity is absurd. The left doesn’t waste a lot of time attacking Mitt Romney, the alleged ‘front runner’ in the GOP nomination race. A man who is equally photogenic but Medved doesn’t seem to believe that matters unless it applies to Sarah Palin. Medved’s hostility to Palin is almost palpable. He can go pound sand.
Medved uses a common debating technique, conceding that she’s not as bad as her fiercest critics say to get some Palin supporters on his side, and then unleashing his own fusillade of criticism. Only one problem: Palin folks are among the most informed in the entire electorate, and we can smell BS from the next county. LOL Bob
