That's a smear, i think.

The left is so very scared.

It could be worse. Cheney shot humans.

I love Palin because she shoots caribou, so they missed my demo.

She's smart, competent and likeable and the AP realizes how she has ignited this country. And they just can't stand it.

waa-haa.

Sarah posed with a dead caribou.

0bama supported infanticide.

Palin is the ultimate woman mentioned by Solomon in the Bible. I'll have to find the passage. If anyone else knows what I'm referring to, please post it.

AP Editor: Adjective! We need more outrageously hyperbolic adjectives!

The media's firing blanks. Hoping to stir up trouble.

The next avenue of attack is that she's not appearing on the Sunday talk show circuit. As if she owes anything to the media after the incessant sniping on her family by a media that can't find a smear or lie bad enough to print.

Still, at some point she's going to have to go on those shows to hand someone their scalp. And hang the head of Matthews or some other wayward journalist next to the head of that dead caribou.

Prepare for major blow-back if this keeps up.

I love me some Sarah!

Where's the media's insightful research and analysis on Obama's numerous ties to terrorists and their sycophants.

I saw Palin referred to as "Caribou Barbie" somewhere. I'd like to see such an action figure hit the stores before Christmas. With her snowmobile, 30.06 scoped rifle, fishing gear bowie knife and other accessories she would be a great and instructive toy for my 4 year old niece.

Forgot the part where mom is putting food on the table!

I don't want to come across as flip but just imagine Obama standing idly by a sink while the botched abortion flops around inside it. That is essentially what The Obamessiah voted for. Sick and disgusting.

"She truly listened to what we wanted in our town and she got it done," said Richard Clayton, owner of the local bike shop who for 20 years has been equipping the Palins with everything from single speeds for Track to handlebar streamers for Piper.

OK, I want a lawn sign now.

/oh, wait. I don't have a lawn.

News = Editorial

In portions of the real world, a sense of professionalism (or a desire to protect one's reputation) would restrain one from letting political opinion cloud one's work. Not so here.

Gah, a woman who under the most adverse conditions would be able to provide for her family without government assistance. It surely is a nightmare for the entitlement crowd.

The Palins have a "long dirt driveway." Obama has a mansion in Chicago, with a side yard contributed by a slumlord.

re: #25 FrogMarch

Actually no. Obama waved his hands over the cow, and without pain the cow miraculously turned into a plate of cheeseburgers. He is amazing.

See if AP reports this today:

[Link: blogs.denverpost.com...]

This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story.

“What you see in the picture I sent you is less than half of total flags,” a Republican official emailed. “We estimate the total number to be around 12,000 small flags and one full size 3×5 flag.”

I’m not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags, frankly. But the Republicans are obviously questioning someone’s patriotism here.

Proverbs Chapter 31

Wife of Noble Character

An (M)excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far (N)above jewels.
11The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
12She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.
14She is like (O)merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
15She (P)rises also while it is still night
And (Q)gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
16She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17She (R)girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.
18She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
20She (S)extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her household are (T)clothed with scarlet.
22She makes (U)coverings for herself;
Her clothing is (V)fine linen and (W)purple.
23Her husband is known (X)in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24She makes (Y)linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
25Strength and (Z)dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
26She (AA)opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 27She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the (AB)bread of idleness.
28Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
29"Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all."
30Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who (AC)fears the LORD, she shall be praised. 31Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.

The fact that he will NEVER be able to deliver on 90% of his promises, vague though they may be, is gonna cause the biggest political whiplash in US history!

Republican presidential candidate John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin during a campaign rally in Sterling Heights, Michigan. The US presidential race was shaping up as a battle over whether a strong character trumps solid policies as McCain attacked his Democratic rival as too weak and Barack Obama worked to refocus voters on the issues. (AFP/Robyn Beck)

They overtly state as fact that Obama has better policies than McCain.

Depends if you are a Leftist Bleeding heart. I personally think it's a great analogy of the Democratic Party. I imagine this article to be a metaphor of a Dead Donkey.

So we have a woman with a spine and real beliefs that she's willing to stand up for. On the other hand, we have an empty wishy-washy suit whose beliefs are whatever will appeal to the most voters. The MSM might be able to exert some control over Mr. Empty Suit, but not over Caribou Barbie. That gives them the Blues.

Falling all over themselves to look stupid. And it isn't just the press.

McCain and Palin have managed to sieze the initiative. They are in control of the debate. The potshots coming from the left bear that out.

Dem strategy is clearly to make McCain/Palin the "values" ticket. They then think they can get all the issues.

Of course, the truth is actually the opposite. Which is also typical.

Hunting is only fashionable in media circles if it involves dweebs like John Kerry asking where he can get himself a hunting license, not that he could hit the ocean with a cannon from the beach.

When it comes to a mother who puts food on the table through hunting, well, that must be demonized.

If Hillary or any other Democrat woman bagged a caribou, they'd be hailed as heroes of the working class and praised for their marksmanship.

Hunting is actually an invaluable tool in helping control the animal population, while abortion is an invaluable tool in helping to scare women into voting for democrats.

Too many cooks....

Ha, this is unbeliveable. They have a problem with that? I'm from NW Wisc. Every small town weekly paper there publishes photos like that during the various hunting seasons (Deer, bow and firearm, turkey, bear, etc).

I had a weird experience yesterday. A hippy moonbat neighbor of mine with a twenty foot banner on his fence that says IMPEACH, was excited about Sarah Palin and voting for her and said she she was one of us? now "I'm reeling"

She's an opponent of government financing of sex-education programs in Alaska. When she announced last week that her 17-year-old unwed daughter, Bristol, was five months pregnant, she said having a baby would make her daughter "grow up faster than we had ever planned."

That's a lie. She opposed funding the most graphic sex classes. Notice the MSM smear.

As I posted yesterday, "She was born to hunt caribou and kick butt...and she's all out of caribou."

The Left and their associated Media arm have conceded the political argument--personal attacks are the evidence--and their butts are exposed for the kicking.

Uh..AP. That's Sarah Palin posing in front of the carcass of the MSM she just shot full 'o' holes.

If Caribou are what's standing in the way of drilling in the Alaska National Wasteland Refuge, I say shoot 'em all.

OK, if we are gonna talk about Obama's policies, let's talk about his tax increases, shall we?
He purports to only tax the "rich" (how much is rich seems to change with each speech) but that's not true.
He intends to let the Bush Tax Cuts (which gave EVERY American who earned money and paid taxes some tax relief) expire, so he is gonna RAISE EVERYONE'S TAXES.
What's worse, is he's gonna increase taxes on businesses which means even fewer jobs, he's gonna increase the "Death Tax" and he's gonna screw around with health care - including Medicare - which now costs me about the same as COBRA private health insurance.
Face it folks, if we elect Obama, we are ALL going to have less money in our pockets.

OK, if we are gonna talk about Obama's policies, let's talk about his tax increases, shall we?
He purports to only tax the "rich" (how much is rich seems to change with each speech) but that's not true.
He intends to let the Bush Tax Cuts (which gave EVERY American who earned money and paid taxes some tax relief) expire, so he is gonna RAISE EVERYONE'S TAXES.
What's worse, is he's gonna increase taxes on businesses which means even fewer jobs, he's gonna increase the "Death Tax" and he's gonna screw around with health care - including Medicare - which now costs me about the same as COBRA private health insurance.
Face it folks, if we elect Obama, we are ALL going to have less money in our pockets.
And don't even get me started on energy policy or foreign policy.

I can't afford Obama.

She's the ethics-protecting, belt-tightening mom, who easily juggles family and her government job.

A visitor to her office can see Palin, a 44-year-old mother of five, as she coos to baby Trig and changes his diapers. A lush bear pelt shot by her father is draped over the couch and a three-foot king crab shell is perched on a table. Daughters Piper, Willow and Bristol stroll in and out, and crayon drawings are tucked beneath her glass desktop.

Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.

Proverbs Chapter 31

Wife of Noble Character

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.
She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard
She girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.
She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
"Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all."
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.

Even in Alaska, they have "Government Is God" moonbats:

John Stein, her opponent, said Palin had brought into the campaign his "alleged stance on gun control and abortion, even why his wife had a different last name than him," the paper reported.

And the final, echo paragraph:

"People are mind boggled to think that a local girl could be the president of the United States if the Republican ticket is successful and something could happen to this 72-year-old candidate who has had four bouts of melanoma."

Ah, the final paragraph, always gets to the author's agenda doesn't it? Hick Girlie Girl and Cancer Geezer memes.

AP, Asswipe Press.

You know, having read the ^cough article ^{cough cough}, what strikes me is that as fast as they keep painting tar all over her, it just keeps dripping off.*  The article left me totally unfazed.  I did have one question, though:

As governor, Palin called for environmental protection in Alaska, but she's opposed the U.S. government's listing of a variety of animals as endangered, including the polar bear and the beluga whale, both of which inhabit areas also rich in oil and natural gas.

Skipping over the whole polar bear fiasco (there's ten times the number of them now compared to 20 years ago when no one wanted to consider them endangered [get within half a mile of one and tell me who feels endangered] and it was the lefttard environmentalists who want them considered endangered to further their agenda on the pseudoscience of global warming), is there really a problem with the population of beluga whales?  Anyone?

Wow! A breath of fresh air here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!

It is simply gorgeous here today. It must be because we are so close to Alaska. :)

SpeedTV Speedvision already shows lawnmower racing in the off season. Can snowmobiles be far behind?

re: #226 kynna

Never had caribou. Wondering if it tastes like Bison, which is yummy.

re: #214 NoSubmission

Can't say for sure of course.. but I'm sure they keep them. I've been to many rallies and parades. I've been handed and bought many American flags at these events. I've kept every single one of them.

You may, but I have trouble believing that they don't end up with tons of discarded little plastic flags after Republican events, too. Or that they don't end up discarding them.

This just seems like a fairly cheap stunt to me. I'm surprised McCain is okay with it.

re: #227 realwest

Hi realwest. How's it going today?

re: #206 jaunte

Those who read all the way through see that the AP reserves their best fear shot for last:
"Anne Kilkenny, a Wasilla local who grew up with Palin and whose critical essay about her has circulated internationally in the media and on the Web, said her appointment is stunning.

"People are mind boggled to think that a local girl could be the president of the United States if the Republican ticket is successful and something could happen to this 72-year-old candidate who has had four bouts of melanoma."

Obama smokes a lot, but you won't hear the same worry over that.

Biden has health issues as well.

re: #119 Occasional Reader

Uh, "Klan"?

In terms of the story, I really don't care much for this particular move by the McCain campaign. It just looks like a stilly stunt.

Not so silly. Unfortunately, some of the more damning things about the Obamessiah and his coterie came out too early. This should remind people about lapel pins, and "God damn America," and "We didn't set enough bombs," and "this is the first time I've ever been proud of my country..." You get the idea.

I wonder how long before someone hacks Bungee's HALO so instead of MasterChief we get Palin?

Sarah Palin killed to put food on her family's table. That is called necessity. And obviously she is good at it.

John F Kerry in hunter orange badly holding that shotgun was just PR so it could be shown he was one of 'us' so anything he killed that day would be wasted. That is a crime.

Frak the Dems, the media, and their hoity-toity mule.

re: #182 NoSubmission

One of the comments on the story said, "It’s a far cry from when RFK rushed forth to prevent a flag from touching the ground."

I'm old enough to remember RFK doing that, and I would love for someone to find a photo of that RFK moment and put it side-by-side with the photo of trashed flags.

re: #234 jaunte
Hey my friend - it's going ok, but would be better if y'all would downding cognito's #199 to make up for my error in updinging it!
How are you doing today?

re: #199 Cognito

So the writer led with the most unusual detail. Surprise.

If someone can't be bothered to read past the first sentence of a story, then they are as uninformed as they deserve to be. And frankly, when you only quote the first line, quite deliberately and atypically, then it seems the uninformedness, so to speak, is no accident.

Have you been paying attention to the coverage of the Israeli-arab "conflict"?
It's titles and paragraphs like that that turn the tide against Israel and essentially the U.S.

It doesn't matter that Islamists fired first in an attempt to randomly murder, it's always captured in the media as a tireless exchange of fire between an "occupier" and "guerilla" groups with bold distortions and biases against Israel as a provoker.

liberals are the ultimate hypocrites.

I would lay odds the writer of this eats meat.

back in the day when I was in college I had an art teacher who told the class we could miss three days without hurting our grade, well... that was great I told him because opening day of deer season was the following monday so I wouldndt be there.

he flipped out accused me of all kinds of things and phsycological problems then rounded it off with asking why I dont just go buy my meat, does it make me feel like more of a man to kill it.

I told him that I wasnt a hypocrite like himself, who wanted to buy his meat non discript sitting on a hygenic tampon in a styrofoam tray so he could pretend it didnt come from a previously living breathing thing.

I knew where my meals came from and understood and apreciated the realities of life and didnt hide from them.

which about sums up liberalism they are hypocrites who hide from the realities of life and get angry with good people who are willing to face them head on.

re: #36 JammieWearingFool

I say keep it up. Blowback's a bitch and it's coming in spades.

In honor of Sarah Palin, I'm going to call it Recoil.

Fixed those names for ya.

re: #232 vagabond trader

Never had caribou. Wondering if it tastes like Bison, which is yummy.

I don't see any evidence that the individuals shown in this picture are actually even Governor Palin and one of her daughters. For starters, the woman in the picture is shown in profile, mostly covered by hair - but she has bangs. Palin does not have bangs. Second, the child in the picture is clearly blonde. None of Palin's daughters are blonde. Note also that the child's face is completely covered except for the eyes.

So other than the AP's word for it, what evidence is there that this is Palin?

re: #235 debutaunt

Yes, and if he smokes heavily, there is a strong possibility that he has symptoms of emphysema. The fact that John McCain's mother is well into her 90s, lucid and mobile gives me confidence in his longevity.

Conversely, as far as I am aware, no health records from the Obama have been released.

re: #244 galloping granny
You mean you won't (gasp!) take the AP's word for it?!

re: #235 debutaunt

Biden has health issues as well.

And his are at least as ominous as McCain's. Cerebral aneurisms.

Realwest, since when do I take anybody's word for much of anything?

re: #244 galloping granny

Here is the same photo in Field & Stream.

I have never believed the MSM. For the same reason no one believed the USSR's state run Media. Or the Media as ran by Goebbels.

re: #249 NoSubmission

Here is the same photo in Field & Stream.

oh, and I'm NOT defending AP here ..

re: #216 Occasional Reader

Sweet jebus.

Um, if you feel you're at liberty to disclose this... in what city (or part of the country, if you prefer) did you go to school?

I'd rather not say, actually.

All your Bloody, Dead Caribou are belong to us.

Heh.

Heh

Realwest, since when do I take anybody's word for much of anything?

Well ya never believe ME that's for sure!
/ducks to avoid any incoming!

PS WOULD YOU PLEASE DOWNDING #199 FOR ME; I ACCIDENTALLY UPDINGED IT. PLEASE?!

she comes off as a heroine in that article.
how can the left be so nuts to think they have maligned her?
note to the dems: we admire the very qualities in a person that you look down on.

re: #219 realwest

CRAP - I updinged Cognitos #191 - someone PLEASE give him a downding to make up for it PLEASE!

Hurry, hurry, realwest. Wouldn't want to let an accidental upding go uncorrected.

re: #256 Cognito
Especially not to one of yours.

After reading AP was intrigued by the NYT Op-Ed link at the bottom with the headline "Running From Reality". The article was typical NYT knocking their Republican enemies. But those three words would be an excellent slogan replacement on their masthead. If its too short they could add "And Sinking Fast".

re: #235 debutaunt

Biden has health issues as well.

One of which he has a narcissistic personality. Biden is a loose cannon who will end up insulting Sarah Palin in a debate most likely. He just can't help himself, he is so much more intelligent than the rest of us you know.

I think Palin's going to be a better Veep than Cheney, actually.  She's bagged and dressed a moose, all Cheney bagged was an elderly attorney and he didn't even eat him, but just released him.  And, from what I gather about hitting what they were shooting at, she's a better shot than Cheney, something that could come in handy at press conferences that get out of control.
