Sarah Palin accuses media of double standard with Hillary Clinton
MSNBC ^ | May 19, 2014 | Clare Kim

Posted on 05/19/2014 5:21:49 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Another Republican is now weighing in on Hillary Clinton’s health.

Sarah Palin slammed the mainstream media for treating Clinton with a double standard after Republican strategist Karl Rove raised controversial concerns about the likely presidential candidate’s health.

“Thank goodness liberals are consistent in refusing to apply double standards, thanks to their disdain for hypocrisy – so they’ll come through once again,” the former vice presidential candidate wrote sarcastically on her Facebook page Monday evening. ”Rest assured these self-designated protectors of what they obviously believe is the ‘weaker sex’ needing protection in the political arena will elevate political discourse.”

Palin doubled down on her disdain for the media by signing off the post with a mention of her youngest child, Trig, who was born with Down’s Syndrome.

“This just doesn’t happen at this respectable level of American politics. Just ask me. And Trig,” Palin wrote, referring to rumors that circulated before and after the 2008 election about whether she was the baby’s actual birth mother.

Palin also criticized liberals for attacking Rove’s comments about the former secretary of state’s concussion from a blood clot in 2012....

Chris Christie’s administration closes a lane on a bridge and he is unelectable, or not even qualified to run for president. Hillary Clinton has a US Ambassador and other Americans killed in Libya, and she is inevitable. Same media.

Here’s her post today on Facebook,

Hillary’s Brain; Hillary’s Brain on Drudge

An article linked today on Drudge:
http://on.wsj.com/1jOqOJR

Hey! Hillary’s brain is off-limits! Leave her health records alone! Democrats are right – scouring records of a female candidate is just politics of personal destruction, and for the media to engage in it would be unfair, unethical, and absolutely UNPRECEDENTED. You can’t probe a woman like that because, well, it’s a war on women!

Bunch of sexist, big meanies engaging in something heretofore unheard of, for shame.

America, you deserve fair and consistent coverage of relevant issues before deciding a Presidential/Vice Presidential ticket, so have faith the agenda-less media will refuse to push whispers and wildly inaccurate information about a partisan politician’s body part.

Goodness, no one credible would print lies, continually harass a candidate’s doctor, disrupt local hospital staff, or even offer to pay locals to give “quotes” about her health records to be included in a “research book” by a public university professor (your tax dollars at work?) which the candidate’s attorney will need to respond to.

Thank goodness liberals are consistent in refusing to apply double standards, thanks to their disdain for hypocrisy – so they’ll come through once again! Rest assured these self-designated protectors of what they obviously believe is the “weaker sex” needing protection in the political arena will elevate political discourse. Apparently, Democrats demand their next chosen one’s brain must be absent. Opposition – go there exploring a liberal’s brain and you find nothing; or, find something and you’re just trying to distract voters from the REAL issues.

See, the country’s just swell under the Obama regime (which includes any cabinet member who’d lie and prove ineptitude by shining the boot that’s now on America’s neck). With enormous issues to debate before choosing a Presidential/Vice Presidential ticket, have confidence no mean-spirited salaciousness will be pushed by “real journalists.”

Nope. This just doesn’t happen at this respectable level of American politics.
Just ask me. And Trig.

The Marxist Media treats Pelosi like she is a rocket scientist and Palin like she is dumb as a box of rocks. Whatever it takes to advance the agenda.

Well, Fish Nuggets, the other thread was taken down, I think because the link was incomplete.

Oh Well.

Ping to Sarah's Awesome List!

Hilary Clinton is a Vile Murderer who will stand at her Judgement before G-d cringing in terror.

Trig Palin was, is, and will remain and innocent boy.

And we had people on "Our" side who called for nothing less than an Inquisition on that sweet child.

Damn Them Too!

Keep at ‘em, Sarah!

Sarah was the original woman that the left had their “war” with. Bless her for exposing these leftist hypocrites for who they truly are....evil snakes.

The left adores Hillary Clinton who allowed four Americans to die in Benghazi while she stood by and watched then lied to the families of the victims to their FACE yet this woman is still Presidential material..yet when Sarah Palin put a little target on a map she was accused of being a murderer and was told repeatedly to apologize for doing NOTHING wrong

Didn’t someone famous on TV also call for someone to RAPE one of Sarah’s daughters..? Was it Letterman?

Yeah, maybe it’ll help her become the number one conservative female in the world, a six-figure speaker, a three-time NYT best-selling author, star of two TV shows, a contributor on Fox News, a former governor and a #2 spot on a major party ticket.

HAD? Nay, it's ongoing.

So much illogical opposition from the leftists and they STILL don't get it. For instance, the Democrat women leaders have never come forward to admit that this (continuing) 2008 attack on Palin (and others like her) has killed the not-really-feminist movement dead. As a doornail.

BUT...it has raised up an entirely separate conservative-women's movement that is just getting rolling!

I know what you're saying but you miss seeing that she's speaking (writing) this way on purpose. It connects better with real people of America, not the hoity-toity elite of big cities and universities.

I do believe the lady is a mite too pi$$ed to indulge in sophistry just now.

So, for that matter, am I.

Go get stuffed.

(Is that crisp enough for you?)

No, but she’d be a better communicator than she is now, and she wouldn’t be as easily dismissed as a lightweight. Sarah has the right ideas but has a weakness in the words department. The irony is that she errs on the side of being too wordy and convoluted, not too simple. She just needs to sharpen her focus a little bit. Especially in the written format where you can step back and edit your stuff.

Maybe Ted Cruz could help. Have you read his biography?
