The liberal MSM should see Gingrich's video and learn something about America and the role faith plays among great wartime leaders.

However, the version that aired and the actual transcript were quite different. Mark Levine got a hold of the original text and released it on his website, where it is faithfully reproduced here.

In other words, “they’ve got Sarah Palin right where she wants them.” Since the moment that John McCain introduced Palin as his running mate, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and every other prominent Democrat in America have worked overtime trying to figure out how to handle this beautiful, charming,...

The special also trounced the second hour of Dateline which featured a profile of Clark Rockefeller, the man accused of snatching his daughter away from his ex-wife. Other segments of Gibson's interview with Palin attracted big audiences for World News With Charles Gibson and Nightline. imdb.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2084093/posts#comment Wed, 17 Sep 2008 07:15:44 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2083744/posts Let’s be honest. The down-to-earth, at times radical, and always controversial libertarian Camille Paglia — nicknamed “Hurricane Camille” because of the blasts she still aims at the liberal feminist establishment — favors Obama/Biden over McCain/Palin. However, despite her Democratic leanings, Paglia stands out as one of the nation’s most important voices in exposing the perversity, danger, and superficiality of liberalism, a fact powerfully exemplified by what she has to say about Sarah Palin in a recent “Salon” piece.

He was not there to draw her out but to trap, shame and expose her as an unqualified fraud. He never smiled. He never paused. He literally looked down at her as he peered through his half-lowered glasses. He grilled her relentlessly, on and on, and when he thought she did not have the right answer e.g. as to what the Bush Doctrine really is, he “failed” her right on...

Sarah Palin, her first since Sen. John McCain named her his running mate. The Times took Charlie Gibson to task for distorting statements Palin made about the Iraq war at her former Assemblies of God church in Wasilla, Alaska. A well-circulated video shows Palin asking the congregation to pray that the nation's leaders would send troops to Iraq "on a task that is from God." But Gibson, apparently getting his information... wnd.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2082957/posts#comment Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:13:16 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2082767/posts http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2082767/posts#comment Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:16:21 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2082545/posts Sarah Palin: A Worthless Bag of Hair 14.09.2008 Source: URL: http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/106355-sarahworthless-0 Sarah Palin gave Charles Gibson, of the ABC television network, an exclusive interview. Here is a quote from Sarah Palin in her ABC interview: “For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable.” Is that so, Sarah? In the interview, she certainly did prove one thing. She can lie and be dishonest just like the rest of them. Not only did she show total ignorance of even what US intelligence services now confirm and admit, that Georgia was the aggressor...

We have Charlie Gibson trying to derail the Palin Express bandwagon, asking Ms. Palin questions he would never have the guts to ask Obama. 2. We have diseased Hollywood tramps such as Pam Anderson and Lindsey Lohan calling Ms. Palin names and insulting her for the very values she shares with us. 3.

I've also created visual effects for movies and commercials for 23 years. I'm not disclosing my name at this point, because frankly I've already suffered enough job loss because I was "outted" as a conservative. But enough about me. I caught a commercial teaser for the Charlie Gibson interview of Sarah Palin and something caught my attention as a Director immediately: The use of the position and choice of lenses to minimalize Governor Palin. To be objective to see if I was jumping to conclusions, I immediately reviewed Mr. Gibson's interview with Senator Obama. Take...

Perhaps. In today's Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll, McCain broke out of a week or more or less being tied with Obama to show a 3% point lead at 50-47%. It also marked the first plus 50 day for the McCain Palin ticket. Now, the signficance of this poll vis a vis Gibson is tdoay's Rasmussen tracking poll includees surveys taken Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In other words, this was the first poll including only surveys conducted after the first excerpts of the...

He interviewed Obama right after he became the presumptive presidential nominee and he interviewed Palin shortly after she became the vice presidential nominee. So the situation of the interviews is similar. And because the situation of the interviews is similar Gibson’s extreme prejudice against Palin is very obvious.

Can you look the country in the eye and say "I have the experience and I have the ability to be not just vice president, but perhaps president of the United States of America?" PALIN: I do, Charlie, and on January 20, when John McCain and I are sworn in, if we are so privileged to be elected to serve this country, will be ready. I'm ready.

From the outset, it was clear that Gibson planned to paint her as completely inept and unqualified. The very first question, asking Palin if she hesitated when McCain offered her a spot on the ticket, dripped with condescension. Here was Gibson, looking professorial with his glasses down at the end of his nose, eyebrow cocked, as if to portray her as a liar, or so self-assured as...

I've been pointed to a blog that makes a compelling case that they did just that. Using still shots of the Gibson interview with Palin compared to similar Gibson interviews with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, it seems this blogger has proven it to be an open and shut case of manipulation of the viewer. The writer shows how ABC used special camera placements and lenses to make Governor Palin seem small and Charlie Gibson seem overpowering and large by comparison....

This should be a relative piece of cake, compared to Charlie the Vicious Tuna, when she meets with Sean on Hannity and Colmes in a 2-part interview on the Fox News Channel, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 16th and 17th at 9 PM EDT.

The consensus is that he was trying to show his fellow lib reporters how tough he could be. Tactically, she made the mistake of trying to be friendly and informal with Gibson, who assumed a superior, professorial and critical stance toward her. Gibson's aggressive approach appeared to take Palin by surprise: He was clearly attempting to put her on point by presenting her as having extreme religious views. This again, however, appears to be a double-standard, as Palin grew up in the Assemblies of God, one of...
