Palin Smearing Baltimore Sun Columnist Whines Readers Being Mean to Her
Newsbusters ^ | 9/6/08 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 09/06/2008 7:13:09 AM PDT by mathprof

Susan Reimer, columnist for the Baltimore Sun, is shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that people took exception to her tactless bashing of Governor Sarah Palin in her September 1 column, "A woman -- but why this woman?" In fact, Reimer is so upset that people where exercised enough to drop her a note, give her a call, or write an email about her baseless smearing of Palin that she says in her September 5 column that she feels "frightened." Do you want some cheese and crackers to go with that whine, Reimer?

On Monday, I wrote a column criticizing the McCain campaign for what I saw as a cynical attempt to gather in unhappy women voters by naming Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin his vice presidential candidate and for exploiting the poignant story of her youngest child to appease the Republican Party's pro-life base... And then the storm began.

Reimer was shocked to find that her substance free, lie filled attack on John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin generated "More than 8,200 comments were posted to the column on The Baltimore Sun's Web site. I received more than 700 personal e-mails and about 50 phone calls."

Even worse for Reimer, her gutter scraping column was read by Rush Limbaugh and Brit Hume and was linked by Drudge as an example of the outrageous treatment that Palin has gotten at the hands of feminist media elites like Reimer.

Gee whiz, why don't all the people upset with her send her a chocolate bar, a dozen donuts, a box of crackers and a tub of cheap cheese and wait for her to explode.

I forget who said it back in the late '60s or early '70s, but someone said something like: Feminism is so ugly women can have something to do. Who would have thought so many ugly women would become writers for newspapers and run for office as DemonRATS?

T-C, I have had this conversion twice in the last couple of days...one w/a friend, the other w/my Evangelical sister in law. A lot of women are reading between the lines. Funny isn’t it, how women can ‘read’ each other. Spot on analysis (IMO)...

The leftist women are clearly motivated by politics, but it’s still indicative, to me, that they go after the handicapped baby first.

The Republican women seem to be envious: “What’s so great about HER? Why does she get to be Vice President? Look at Me Me Me Me!!!” It’s like high school :-).

Yes, as I said when they put Peggy Noonan's, "I was totally taken out of context" "apology" up on the Convention live thread Thursday night, "I speak fluent Female. She means she got busted acting like a jealous cat."

Yes, it is very important. People often seem to be fooled, even smart people. They think leftists really care about “equality.” No, they don’t. They care about the power to give life and especially to take life. That’s all.

History also tells us what we must do to deal with them.

It's funny that they always bring up Allende and Pinochet.

When communists gain as much power as they are on the verge of having here, it always comes down to Indonesia, or Cambodia.

I vote for Indonesia. They will be very lucky to wind up with Pinochet instead of Suharto.

Thanks for your kind words.

I've had to take a few days off before I respond to these drivelheads of the media (you know, talking heads that spew drivel) because otherwise I'd be one of those of which Sissy Sue is so afraid.

"Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values. It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason. I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God’s will. Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do. But in a pluralistic democracy, we have no choice. Politics depends on our ability to persuade each other of common aims based on a common reality. It involves the compromise, the art of what’s possible. At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It’s the art of the impossible." - Barack Hussein Obama

Exactly the slant and leaning you are talking about my friend...and Hussein is its most recent incarnation.

The author has amended his title to read “Palin-Smearing...”

Can we fix it here too?

No, that was NOT a double-entendre.

In other words, they have a God complex.

Sure, right from day one: “You will be as God, knowing [deciding for yourself] good and evil.” Satan doesn’t come up with any new lines, since the original one worked so well.

Well, here’s another voice from the past that these leftist monsters need to hear - and fear:

“I fear we have awakened a sleeping Giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.”

Radical socialists, be they internationalist (Communists like Stalin) or nationalist (fascist like Hitler & Mussolini) prize the state over the individual.

Each individual is merely a cell in the organism of the state. Individual cells die (or are killed by the organism), but the organism lives on...that is their credo.


Nazism killed at least, what? 20 million? Communism killed 100 million.

Our task is to never ever stop reminding people of these basic facts.
