Turn on any main stream media network, and you will see pure hatred. Is this hatred aimed at our sworn enemies, those bent of destroying our ways of life, traitors present and past, mass murderers, child molesters, pedophiles, killers, rapists, the dregs of society?
No, it isn’t aimed at any of the above targets, it’s aimed at one very dangerous person, who threatens the daily life of all Americans, if the networks are to be believed, it is a person who goes by the name of Mrs. Sarah Palin.
Her crime? She has accepted the nomination to become the Vice President of The United States of America. On the Republican side of the aisle, apparently this action is an offense that calls for hanging by the neck until dead.
All three of the networks take delight in trying to embarrass this woman, by trying to prove she knows nothing about anything. If their reports are to be believed, Mrs. Palin somehow stumbled her way in to the Mayor’s office and position. She then somehow stumbled her way from the Mayor level to the Governor’s office of the state of Alaska. For a hockey mom, she stumbles around pretty good. But according to the late night comics, she has the IQ of Daffy Duck, and talks like him.
The ABC network seems to have started it all with their first exclusive with her by Charles Gibson, in this interview, Charles seems to have seated himself quite high and Mrs. Palin quite low, so he could look down his nose at her over his glasses perched at almost the tip of his nose when she answered a question not to his satisfaction, he played his role of class bully to a tee.
Next we have CBS, they assigned that interview genius Katie Couric to attack Mrs. Palin. She then proceeded to try her version of “gotcha”. Interview journalism, but seems to have backfired, from what I saw of the attempted network drive-by shooting was Mrs. Palin learned her lesson well from the Gibson mess and answered the questions in a clear, concise manner, leaving no room for speculation that she is either dumb, stupid or incompetent. (Just a side note to take notice of when they make fun of Mrs. Palin’s voice: CNN president, Reese Schoenfeld, banned Couric from the air after hearing her high-pitched, squeaky voice)
Last of the networks, we come to NBC, this leftist network seems to have pulled out all of the stops to embarrass and humiliate Mrs. Palin. Out of all three networks, NBC is the most overt in supporting Obama for president, the other two at least try to make an effort to come off as balanced, with very little success, their staffs may as well wear Obama cheerleading uniforms, so there is no mistaking where they stand.
The formerly funny (30 or so years ago) show, Saturday Night Live has become the role model of attack against Mrs Palin and her family. With the amount of low class propaganda this show puts out, they could have given lessons to the KGB and Joseph Goebbels. (For any libs that may be reading this, Goebbels was Hitler’s Chief of Propaganda, Iran’s president would have loved him)
SNL as this horrendous show is also known as, has aired skits inferring Mrs. Palin’s husband has had incestuous relations with their daughters. From what information I could get, most of these skits were co written by has-ben comic, now senatorial candidate Al Franken, late of Air America, the liberal’s attempt to break into talk radio, I think they are still broadcasting, but you may have to purchase a CB radio to hear them. SNL has chosen Tina Feye to portray Mrs. Palin, and she plays the role using a high screeched voice. Funny? Not in my opinion. (Here is a quote from Feye: “On the idea of future Sarah Palin SNL skits: "I want to be done playing this lady Nov. 5. So, if anybody can help me be done playing this lady Nov. 5, that would be good for me.") fairness at it’s best.
Next comes the NOW gang. The National Organization for Women. Now as a male, I thought that this group would leap to the defense of Mrs. Palin, decrying anti feminist actions, citing the achievements of Mrs. Palin, striking out at those who make fun and belittle the chances of Mrs. Palin becoming Vice President of the United States.
Here are a few cites from the NOW 1966 Statement of Purpose:
“The purpose of NOW is to take action to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now, exercising all the privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men.”
“NOW is dedicated to the proposition that women, first and foremost, are human beings, who, like all other people in our society, must have the chance to develop their fullest human potential. We believe that women can achieve such equality only by accepting to the full the challenges and responsibilities they share with all other people in our society, as part of the decision-making mainstream of American political, economic and social life.”
“We realize that women's problems are linked to many broader questions of social justice; their solution will require concerted action by many groups. Therefore, convinced that human rights for all are indivisible, we expect to give active support to the common cause of equal rights for all those who suffer discrimination and deprivation, and we call upon other organizations committed to such goals to support our efforts toward equality for women.”
“WE DO NOT ACCEPT the token appointment of a few women to high-level positions in government and industry as a substitute for serious continuing effort to recruit and advance women according to their individual abilities. To this end, we urge American government and industry to mobilize the same resources of ingenuity and command with which they have solved problems of far greater difficulty than those now impeding the progress of women.”
“WE BELIEVE that women must now exercise their political rights and responsibilities as American citizens. They must refuse to be segregated on the basis of sex into separate-and-not-equal ladies' auxiliaries in the political parties, and they must demand representation according to their numbers in the regularly constituted party committees -- at local, state, and national levels -- and in the informal power structure, participating fully in the selection of candidates and political decision-making, and running for office themselves.”
“WE BELIEVE THAT women will do most to create a new image of women by acting now, and by speaking out in behalf of their own equality, freedom, and human dignity - - not in pleas for special privilege, nor in enmity toward men, who are also victims of the current, half-equality between the sexes - - but in an active, self-respecting partnership with men. By so doing, women will develop confidence in their own ability to determine actively, in partnership with men, the conditions of their life, their choices, their future and their society. “
After reading the preceding statements, I expected a firestorm of support for Mrs. Palin from NOW, but they are strangely silent about all of the ridicule and baseless attacks on the woman.
I did a little reading, and it seems that because Mrs. Palin is not a democrat, but rather, a republican conservative who happens to like to hunt and fish. I suppose these conditions exempt her from the protective arms of the NOW.
The hatred that goes on in this campaign is not to be believed, if any of the insinuations made against Mrs. Palin were made against Obama, the riots that would take place would make the riots of the 1960s in Watts, Ca and Newark, NJ look like picnics.
Let’s get down to what is more important, who is better equipped to take the reins of this government in these troubled times.
