Even the British newspapers have noticed the nastiness of the left:
"What they are doing is what they usually do when confronted with something which offends their world view - character assassination. Every 'liberal' newspaper and TV network has sent hatchet men north to Alaska to dig for the dirt beneath the tundra." "

Rosette, here is some info on your so called cut for special needs. Palin did not cut funding for special needs education in Alaska by 62 percent. She didn’t cut it at all. In fact, she increased funding and signed a bill that will triple per pupil funding. This is from factcheck.org Go McCain/Palin "

You are right Portland Chick. I do get angry when people make nasty comments about folks they don't even know like: " Alaskan's are "FOR SALE". That lil $1,200 "rebate"... or "Wasilla is such a silly town, what a bunch of airheads and petty people."... or "you are defending trash."... or "Must be the school systems up there!" etc., etc., etc. By the way, PDX Chick. Don't you have enough problems up there in Oregon to worry about. I know we have enough down here. "

" It's a fact that the McCain campaign has a much higher record of blatant, vicious outright lies than the Obama campaign. Even Rove went on record to say that McCain went overboard with the lies.

McCain has learned his new puppy makes people clap, so he's now planning to parade around with her to keep the excitement up, since he can't do it alone. A political viagra, if you will.

And Richard, I don't think anyone is calling you stupid - just pretty gullible and uninformed. Oh, and very, very angry. "

Speaking of idiots, have you looked in the mirror lately? It appears you have a problem with misjudging others. I bet that even you, with your "superior intelligence" didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was until you heard it on TV. Oh, what school system are you from? Its PARTY'S, not PARTIES and you left out the apostrophe in PRESIDENT'S. I bet you failed spelling. "

" I have made a brief study these last 10 days of the comments sections of many major and some less-than-major news outlets. It appears that the leftist/Obama supporters have their marching orders: Use the forums as a platform to smear Sarah Palin and anyone who supports her. I just cannot believe this is coincidental. It may be clever, but I think it will ultimately fail because the campaign cannot control the message and many of these commenter are so hate-filled they harm their cause more than help it. "

" Obama quote of the day:
"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos.The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets.At night,in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling constraints.We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated." "

" I am a registred Democrat, but the assault on Sarah Palin by the media disgusts me. If they had spent 10% of their energy on Obama's background, he would not even be the Democratic party nominee. I can sense a huge backlash coming against the media and Obama. I wouldn't be surprised at all if McCain-Palin wins in a landslide this November. "

" "Petty Palin" exemplifies exactly what I and others have been saying for some time now. The Liberals on the left have only the sewage spewing from their mouths to define their intellect. If you don't agree with them, then you are in line for a plethora of names. And, as usual, indicates that this person has absolutely no idea of that which he / she speaks. Simply regurgitating the media garbage and the Democrat's talking points.

The petty name calling coming from the whimpering liberals gives the rest of us something to chuckle about. Yap! yap! Yap!...Next. "

" I find it hilarious that the Obama camp claims there is not a research team in Wasilla. They would be idiots not to try to learn more about her, as all their pre-crafted strategy briefing books on potential Republican VP choices became fireplace tinder.

I met some of them the Saturday after the announcement, and even gave them directions to Lake Lucille Inn. It was funny that they simply could *not* tell the difference between "go north 3 stoplights", and "3 blocks". Took about 4 tries to make sure they got it. "

" Kudos to the gentleman noting that liberals fall short when it comes to facts. They use propoganda, allegations and accusation...but never facts. It's simple, really...facts aren't on their side. They sound like bitter parrots just regurgitating the same headlines they see in the media over and over again. Interesting, isn't it, that every socialist and dictatorship has taken over by first controlling the media and then the educational system. Who controls our media and public education system nowadays? "




swampy wrote on Sep 12, 2008 12:11 PM:

" To: No More Lies. Where did you get the idea that Sarah Palin wasn't vetted? Was it from the media? The Vetting process is a standard procedure with both parties. Even if she wasn't vetted, she still trumps Biden and Obama combined. And to K.B., to say that 80% of Alaskans are fooled by this woman that everyone on the left says is inexperienced, Well..That's special. "




swampy wrote on Sep 12, 2008 11:44 AM:

" "Obama's campaign said they don't have people in Alaska researching Palin". Well, that's not the first lie coming from the left, and it won't be the last. Someone else touched on something I have been noticing. We have an awful stench coming form the liberal Northeast and from the left coast, California. These folks need to get their own sewer pits cleaned before slinging their rabid hate at others. They demonstrate the typical SLS symptoms: "Severe Lemming Syndrome". A tendency to repeat anything the liberal media says or prints. It reminds me of Dan Rather and his "Facts" "




Long time Alaskan wrote on Sep 12, 2008 8:39 AM:

" Outsiders feel the need to dig: the news media dogs because Sarah has told them what she thinks of them and they are rabid; the Obama supporters because they are afraid of Sarah's popularity and appeal to mainstream and grassroots America where she will win despite all the mudslinging that they think we are too simple to see through. Obama has shown his true colors: win at any cost. "

" Will someone please inform Rosette who wrote on Sept 6th that Sarah cut the special ed program by 62%. She does NOT have her facts. Check it on Fact Check. Sarah added to the program NOT decreasing it as she said.
If you check the FACTS you will find a lot of truths instead of the untruths that are printed "




No More Lies wrote on Sep 10, 2008 2:22 PM:

" Obama's campaign said today (9/10) that they do not have people in Alaska researching Palin. That is something McCain SHOULD HAVE DONE, however, before he decided to ask her to be his lipsticked-pitbull-hockey-mom-mate. Maybe this will teach the Repubs to do their homework before turning it in. "

" The truth about Sarah Palin will come to the surface, 80 percent approval rating not withstanding. That woman has 80 percent of Alaskan fooled. Her day will come. If 'Saint Sarah' should get to run this country, it will no longer be worth living in, not even for Republicans.

And to 'Native America' above: Like it or lump it, what counts is the vote in November. "




Still Waiting wrote on Sep 9, 2008 8:42 PM:

" If Palin would answer questions, journalists wouldn't need to dig on their own. Almost two weeks now, and all we know is what is blogged. If she doesn't like what's coming out, then she should speak for herself and stop reading from a script. And speaking the truth every once in a while wouldn't hurt, either. "

Your town of Wasilla is now under seige by the lawyers and investigators working for the Obama campaign trying to dig up dirt on your Sarah Palin and this comments forum is being spammed by the Obama supporters across America. They have their marching orders to attack sites such as this in order to disseminate false information against Sarah Palin.

My advice in dealing with the influx of diggers in your town is to either ignore them or smear them with bacon grease then drive them out to bear country. "

" Come on people don't you have enough dirt look for on Politicians in your own States?

We love Sarah and it is not because of the dividend, it is because she does the right thing and helps her state like you other states need to have your Politicians do, and you can't have it back. It is not our fault our Sarah is a giver to the people and a taker from Government. Kind of sounds like Sarah Robin Hood. She is the best! "

" McCain chose Palin as his running mate because the evangelicals were not going to support him. As the VP nominee, who espouses abstinence only teachings, paraded her unmarried pregnant teenage daughter and her trophy hockey jock boyfriend across the stage, the same evangelicals, who a few years ago would banish an unmarried pregnant girl to a relative’s home or a home for unwed mothers couldn't contain their tnthusiasm. John McCain strutted over and embraced them both. What a photo-op. I thought at any time he would call Mike Huckabee up to perform a shotgun wedding. "

" I really resent that Palin accepted our tax money for a bridge, then canceled the plan and gave the money to her constituents. That was not her money to give away, and the other 49 states want it back. Could that little bribe have something to do with her approval rating. The other 49 states support the entire state. "

If she had been properly vetted, I doubt we would be having this conversation. Obama and all the other candidates have been investigated for over 18 months, but we are supposed to know her in 1 week.

If she wants to be in the national spotlight, more power to her, but she (and her supporters) better expect just that - a bright, hot spotlight. "
