Sexism unabashed: how the press continues to demean Sarah Palin

Exactly how many people in this country know that Sarah Palin was in Kosova and Germany this week visiting members of the Alaska National Guard?  How many know that she met with the Lithuanian Minister of Defense?  How many heard her speak to the troops in Kosovo?

Now, let me ask you this.  How many people heard that John Kerry made a demeaning joke about Sarah Palin?  And that she countered with a Kerry joke?  How many people know that Palin spoke out in defense of her youngest son who was demeaned in a photo shopped picture creator by an official blogger of the DNC and professional Palin-stalker?  How many people know that there have been ethics complaints about Palin in Alaska?

(An aside: have you noticed how the people making the jokes can not bring themselves to offer a serious apology?  The apologies are as bad as the original jokes. I guess liberals can’t take a woman seriously; they demolished one of their own, Hillary Clinton, so clearly any woman is fair game.) 

There are only a handful of people who know about her trip over seas because the MSM did not cover it.  And there are thousands of people who know about the jokes, demeaning photo, and ethics complaints because they were reported by the MSM.  In fact the Kerry joke is the only thing that was covered on the Kosovo trip, along with the photo shopped Trig picture.

The faux, none news story about the ethics complaints was particularly weird.  It was old information sent out by the AP, aka the state-owned news network.  This non-story was carried by everyone, including Fox News.  It was a rehash of past events, trying to make it sound serious and current in some way.

Now there is a completely trashy hit piece in Vanity Fair, released today, just one day before Palin releases the figures for Sarahpac.   I refuse to give a link to it as it is such low-life garbage it is not worth reading.  And, by the way, this is the same author that did a hit piece on Hillary during the campaign, and Bill called him a sleazy, slimy, scumball; some things never change.

Some Repubs think this latest hit piece is the work of “Mittens” Romney, who hopes to win the gold crown in four years. (He has to be kidding…this guy is a Bushy-babe and there is no way in hell he can win against Obama).

Others blame McCain, and I have to say, don’t you think McCain could at least come out and say something?

Frankly, this is an organized attempt to continue to portray Palin as a joke; someone not to be taken seriously; someone who does nothing worthwhile; she is a lightweight, dumb, attractive female (heavens, an attractive woman actually having brains?)  In order to accomplish this goal, no serious stories about Palin's activities see the light of day; only gossip, hit jobs, bad jokes, and attacks on her children appear in the MSM.

The hope I see in all of is to remember that in spite of it all, Hillary kept getting stronger and stronger as the primary season ran on; in fact she won. 

Hillary wins Ohio!

Realclearpolitics has a blog that says the same thing; that all of the hit pieces on Palin just might result in her getting more popular with ‘we the people’…and I think they just might be right.

This is what a president looks like

It's just as good for her, she's working hard to stay in the media so she can run for prez. I campaigned for her because I campaigned for John McCain and he chose sarah palin, but don't kid yourself, if she continues to get in the media, there's a good chance that someday she is president, and I doubt that will do any hillary supporter (myself included) any good. Not that mittens would be much better, or any conservative for that matter, but she's got the charisma to win. That's trouble. She is no longer running against fauxbama, so if she runs in 16, poor choice. 2012, sure.

you are still so delusional. She will always be a sensation seeking media whore..I mean...once you've been to the city...Sarah is a junkie requiring a fix at any cost, even at the cost of her children. She is hooked and believes that the caribou barbie act is going to get her over. She shot herself in the foot when she quit. Sarah will never ever be president. She is ignorant and lacks the attention to keep her head down and learn something. The only thing she has actively worked at is keeping her name in the news since they lost. She is hurting for attention when the cameras go away, so she generates faux news to feel relevant.

Sarah is pathetic, as are her delusional supporters.

PHOTO CAPTION: This is what a president looks like. NO. That is what a divisive bigot looks like.
