Dems out to ‘Bork” Sarah Palin. It could backfire.

September 1st, 2008 at 01:46am Chuck Sweeny

The leftwing blogosphere , aided by Democratic black ops perps, is going bonkers trying to do a Clarence Thomas number on Sarah Palin. I’m not going to repeat the pig swill, you can find it if you want. Folks, this is risky business, and if nothing sticks to her, it is going to backfire, just as it did when the dems went after Thomas, now serving for the rest of his life on the Supreme Court.

Fact is Democrats talk a lot about diversity, but it is not real diversity. It is just diversity of liberalism. Only black liberals, women liberals, gay liberals, Christian liberals, need apply. If you’re an off the reservation woman like Palin, a pro-gun, pro-life pro-free market conservative and mom of five overachiever, they’re going to Bork you.

Don’t get me wrong here. It’s entirely appropriate to question Palin’s fitness to be president, which is increasingly likely because McCain is 72 and has had skin cancer more than once. Legitimate media are probing her background, talking to people who worked with her in Alaska, about her readiness. Stories I’ve read indicate a mix of opinion, with some credible authorities frankly shocked that she was chosen without what they believe was adequate vetting by McCain.

Checking her out is what the press is supposed to do. And we’re doing it. But the leftwing blogosphere nut jobs concocting fantastic rumors? Garbage-mongers all.

    Apparently you haven\’t noticed the garbage that has been circulating about Barack Obama. This country is still deeply tainted by bigotry and racism.

    Daily Kos, the original source of that rumor, has dropped the story.

    I have read that her experience is under attack by the socialists. Let’s see, her two years as governor of Alaska gives her just about two years more chief executive experience than Obama and Biden combined.

    Look, John Kight, there are no socialists in America. There are no socialists in Europe. There ARE NO SOCIALISTS in china.. There are just varieties of capitalists. Lesson over.

    You were right Chuck about the pig swill and the potential backfire. WeI were watching CNN’s Anderson Cooper making a big deal out of Sarah Patlin’s 17 year old daughter being pregnant, etc. Then he tells us to stay tuned for a discussion (on national TV) whether it is appropriate for them to be reporting this type of information on national TV about a candidate’s daughter.

    We were having a cookout with several guests when it appeared on TV and I have to tell you that everyone was disgusted and very angry about it. I can’t repeat some of the views expressed, but rest assured that if was the intent of the leftwing blogosphere , aided by Democratic black ops perps to sway voters, it did that, but not in the direction they were planning.

    It used to be that we could sit down and watch the news and get an unbiased and factual account of events of the day. If we wanted the opinion of a particular journalist or group of journalist we had that option. It just appears that true and accurate news is a thing of the past. Entire networks, including ABC, MSNBC and Fox news have their own agenda and they will do and say anything to achieve their goal. Which catagory do they fit into, the leftwing blogosphere or the Democratic black ops perps?

    Shame on them.
