SDS Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I really doubt that kind of footage is hard to come by either. I bet anyone could go to any Palin rally and get about the same amount of "insight". Would this be like the footage outside the RNC where the protesters couldn't tell you what they were protesting against? Uninformed people are everywhere.

KD in CA Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 John McCain, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden have all been national figures for years whose records had already been vetted by the national media. Why shouldn't the media scrutinize Palin who up until late August was unknown to the vast majority of Americans? Obama has been a national figure for years? You must be using a very literal definition since he's been a national figure for exactly two years. And what little record he has amassed has never been vetted by the MSM, although they thoroughly covered the color of his skin and his ability to give articulate speeches, so I guess that's just as important. The kid gloves treatment he has received from the MSM is my primary issue with his candidacy since it has left us without a real understanding of who this man is, what he has supported in the past and what he intends to do as President. Newsweek has simply engaged in the same negligent fawned over him that everyone else has; they just added a Messiah photo to go along with the story. Gee, did they also make his skin lighter as the anti-OJ? As SD said, anyone who has read Newsweek should understand their political leaning (btw, including an article by someone from the other camp doesn't change the editorial direction of a publication; see also: Times, NY), but the Palin pic is a really silly thing to be complaining about. Anyone else wish election day was today? I'm so tired of this crap. I'd vote for Obama if it meant I could be spared four more weeks of this nonsense.

molson_golden2002 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 A female friend of mine that is very liberal brought me that magazine and was taken aback by the cover. She saw the picture as being very insulting to Palin. She hates Palin but thinks the close up showing unplucked eye brows and hair on her lip as being reall malicious. It's a female thing I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe what we need to do is get together with Governor Palin and Plugs Biden, go down Union Street in Wilmington and go to Katie's restaurant to break bread and find out who really defines hideous.

SD Jarhead Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I really don't get the hatred of this woman. It's shameful that we've come to this point. And for the record I feel the same way about The way The Messiah is being treated. Answer me this Lefties-why do you hate this woman so much? Is it because she walks the walk? You may not like her ideas but why dehumanize her? So acording to Exiled in Idiotville ahe's a b*tch? Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Actually 4 years. Actually, no. Freshman senators are not national figures -- even if they gave a speech at a convention. 90% of the country couldn't have picked him out of a lineup before he started his campaign for POTUS. For you to attempt to lump him in with Biden and McCain as a long standing public figure is entirely disingenuous. You may not like her ideas but why dehumanize her? So acording to Exiled in Idiotville ahe's a b*tch? Nice. I found EII's use of the word "wacko" to be hysterically ironic. Of all the people on this board...

The reason the left hate Palin and consider her a B word and hideous is because THEY were the ones who were supposed to bring a formidable woman to the table at this point, not the right. Perhaps the most hypocritical part of the left this election year has been how a group that has spent so much time screaming and yelling for women's rights and equality suddenly feel like all woman are knobgobblers who need to stay home, clean the house and shut the !@#$ up until spoken to. But hey...it fits their needs right now. After Obama and Plugs get elected, women will once again be relevant and respected, however the left reserves the right to change their mind as it sees fit.

But hey...it fits their needs right now. After Obama and Plugs get elected, women will once again be relevant and respected, however the left reserves the right to change their mind as it sees fit. I actually liked her and thought it was a good move by McCain, thoroughly applauded the move (because he was desperate and had to do something to shake up the race, which he did), thought it was great for the republican party to nominate a woman to that position, and thought she did fabulous under tremendous pressure at the convention. I immediately saw the appeal, and I posted each of those thoughts here on the board, some of them over and over. Then I saw her answer questions and realized that she did not know what was going on in the world, and had no preparation for this job. She cannot answer simple questions. She is totally unprepared for the job she was handed, and is scary for the country. I don't even care about her political views that I don't agree with. She, as she is, is an affront to intelligence on a world stage. It's possible that in four years of studying every day she could learn enough to be a formidable candidate, but I have my doubts. And numerous serious and well respected republicans share this view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you to attempt to lump him in with Biden and McCain as a long standing public figure is entirely disingenuous. You're right, Obama recieved zero national attention between his 2004 DNC speech and his election to the Senate. I mean being featured 642 times in major U.S. publications in the 3 month span between his 2004 DNC speech and his election to the US Senate hardly makes one a national figure.

You don't have to look much further than Pasta Joe to see the left wing hypocrisy in action. Three months ago he was decrying the sexism that was helping to bring down his candidate.
