The right’s favorite lightning rod doesn’t bother defending herself against critics. That job falls to Rebecca Mansour, an ex-Hollywood screenwriter with sharp teeth.
A Lebanese American who grew up in Michigan, Mansour, who is in her mid-thirties, is a former Hollywood screenwriter who felt so strongly about Palin—whom she’d never met—that she founded the website Conservatives4Palin. Originally hired to help with Palin’s famous Facebook page, Mansour says on her Twitter feed that she is speaking only for herself. But she whacks Palin’s detractors with such thumb-in-the-eye passion as to make her boss seem downright diplomatic.
There are the “puppy-kickers” and “porn producers” at Politico. The “liar” at the Associated Press who said Palin provided no press access on her visit to Haiti except for Fox News. The “semi-literate buffoons at MSNBC.” The “mouth-breathing loon” Aaron Sorkin. The Maureen Dowd column that chided Palin for shooting a caribou on her TLC show that was “so stupid I thought it came from The Onion.”
“Howard Kurtz”
Well...that’s as far as I got...
Why do you post this slop? Do you have an agenda or just want to flood this site with left wing trash?
Fighting fire with fire ... Way to go, Sarah.
Scathing humor at its finest.
LOL!
“Fourth estate” indeed. The press does not get to claim to speak for the people anymore, since what they do best is shill for the left.
What they fear? That the people and the reps they are electing will not bother to talk to them anymore- why should they?
In fairness, Mansour is sometimes responding to strong, harsh, or inaccurate criticism of Palin. On the phone, for journalists who manage to reach her, Mansour can be friendly, personable, and funny. Even her online barbs are sometimes laced with humorous overstatement. But her us-against-them mentality seems to provide a window on the worldview of a politician, both loved and loathed, who often acts like she is under siege.
And that is because Palin IS under siege. The lamestream media still seems to think they are the only relevant media source that the public will trust. They are, in fact, a Triassic species that has no clue they have already locked into place their own extinction.
I called one of my then teenage daughter’s former boyfriends “a semi-literate”, and he said “Thank you”........
Ex-Hollywood screen writer? If Palin wants to get elected she should ditch her “advisor” and get someone who was never remotely associated with Hollywood.
Like Ronald Reagan?............
Then why is she being criticized for making an 8 minute video and going on Hannity to do exactly that? Do these people live in a parallel universe?
Ronald Reagan was done being an actor when he decided to run for Gov. of California. Hosting Death Valley Days and Bedtime for Bonzo were behind him. Today’s Hollywood isn’t the same as Reagan’s Hollywood.
There are many conservative actors and production staff in H’wood. They keep a low profile for obvious reasons...............
The first sentence is ridiculous
the pundits and press have had a gleeful field day attacking Sarah’s defense of herself from their blood libel
Hmmm. . . one wonders whether your daughter’s erstwhile boyfriend didn’t get it, or whether he did, but so many of their class-mates are full bore illiterates that semi-literacy has become a compliment.
Ok, so you post before you read, kind of like Pelosi we need to pass the bill to find out what’s in it?
You must be from DC.
Kurtz has jumped the halibut..
