At some point the "newsies" managed to flip themselves from being the sort of creatures who merely irritated me to becoming folks I thought of as fit subjects for extensive torture.

I'm sure I am not alone in thinking these things.

Sarah Palin Correct In Troopergate Involvement
by BigJolly · 09/04/2008 3:57 pm

“For the record, no one ever said fire Wooten. Not the governor. Not Todd. Not any of the other staff,” Monegan said Friday from Portland. “What they said directly was more along the lines of ‘This isn’t a person that we would want to be representing our state troopers.’ “

The Monegan in that quote would be Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan, whose recent firing by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and now Republican Vice-Presidential nominee has been dubbed ‘Troopergate’ by a liberally biased national media looking for anything to stop the momentum of the McCain/Palin ticket.

This latest attack on her involves her former brother-in-law, Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten. In 2005, long before she even ran for governor, she, along with other members of her family and community, tried to get the Alaska State Troopers to investigate the thuggish behavior of Trooper Wooten, who was married to her sister Molly McCann.. In the end, he was investigated and had 11 charges against him sustained by Colonel Julia Grimes, Director, Alaska State Troopers.

Included in the charges that were sustained are:

Wooten used a Taser on his stepson.

He illegally shot a moose.

He drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.

He told others his father-in-law would “eat a f’ing lead bullet” if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.

These findings are in addition to many other incidents, from drunken brawls to having another trooper drive him home after pulling him over after a night of drinking. To calling Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, a f’ing ***hole and losing his football coaching position at the local high school. Here is a portion of his official reprimand letter:

Did anyone check to see if all of Obamessiah’s 35 lawyers made it back?

Winter comes early in Alaska and those jerks arrived right as it was moving in. There could be dead lawyers all up and down the railroad tracks and nobody would know.

They are still LYING ABOUT SARAH PALIN!

It is just freaking amazing that the MSM is trying to defend a rogue cop! Anyone (and I mean anyone) who doesn’t fit their agenda is trashed (eg: Joe the Plumber)!!!

I’m so sick of it! What a bunch of lying scum!

Here’s a question for you, FReepers - When is enough, enough?? How much longer do we continue to allow the leftists in the media and in politics to continue their nonstop partisan attacks on conservatism?? This has been going on (with real intensity) since Reagan.

When do we stop taking this and start fighting back?? When do we cancel our “newspaper” subscriptions en masse and help hasten their demise? When do we start boycotting their dreck “news” programs and kill their ratings??

When do we start protesting their biases and lack of fairness?? The same “fairness” that they want to impose on talk radio??

When is enough, enough?? We didn’t start this battle between left and right, but it’s time we started fighting back and bring the battle to a close.

Not particularly surprising.
Satan hates people.
He particularly hates Christians - God's chosen: Those that believe on HIS Son.
Thus Satan and his minions are going to whip up those that 'believe not'. Those whom the god of this world (Satan) has blinded -- to the point that these mouthpieces will spew their hatred on Mrs. Palin without knowing what exactly they hate...
This specific case is about an out of control trooper who tasered his stepson, and threatened the life of his father-in-law. Yet, the dupes in the media go after Mrs. Palin, and defend this 'fellow'.
Their is something 'supernatural' about this hatred. It does not come from a sound mind.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

In the first paragraph, the piece talks of Palin's "harsh allegations" and states that he has been "taken off patrols recently for his own safety" because of "threatening phone calls."

More threatening than "If your dad helps you through this divorce he's gonna, he's gonna eat an F'n lead bullet"?

Most people, according to the all knowing polls, say they don't trust the media.

Yet that bought the BS about Hussien and Palin anyway.

A quote by Thomas Paine seems appropriate here.

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly...it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be hightly rated."

We all need to start SAVING EVERY PENNY WE CAN! Don't buy anything that we don't absolutely need. Let's see Obama fix the mess without help from taxpayers spending money!

Let his welfare & kook supporters (including MSM) take care of him. /s

They can't hide his failure forever!

This will all go away when she hires a new Commissioner of Public Safety and he/she commences to cleaning up the AST.

Payback is hell.

Outrageous.

This is simply bizarre. Who can possibly take ABC/Newsweak serious? I think is going to be fun watching the MSM/DBM attempt to defend NObama. Especially during the upcoming debates on the 1st Amendment.

BTW/OT I vote NO on Bipartisanship. The Rats are looking for scapegoats after they push through their Marxist agenda.
