““anywhere you peel back the skin of Sarah Palin’s life, a sad and moldering strangeness lies beneath.”

LOL. After reading that sentence, I didn’t waste time reading anything else. Another day, another hit piece by another mainstream media rag.

She IS a bad tipper. She “only” gave her entire 100 grand speaking fee back to the Ohio Right To Life organization. What a greedy, horrible woman. Why can’t she be more like John Kerry who’s worth nearly $200 million and tries to avoid paying taxes on his brand new yacht.

The left is patherically addicted to Palin, Beck, and Limbaugh, but it’s fun to watch!

Replace left with right and the sentence is still true, just takes on different meaning.

Well Paul, unfortuantely for the left, they don’t have anyone on their side with the influence of the 3 I mentioned, so you’re statement isn’t really true. I certainly don’t spend my day thinking about Olberdork or Tingles.

Some of the information left out of the article : She dents cans at the grocery store and tries to get them for half price . She’s a bad parker . She kicks her dog . She mows her lawn in dirty sneakers . She takes candy from babies . She laughs when someone falls . She leaves the butter out .

You people refuse to read the article because why? Maybe because it’s true. This woman is a money hungry Bit..h who doesn’t give a crap about the people all she cares about is making money. The left is not obsessed with her it’s you people on the right who kiss her ass on anything she does or says. Give me a break you morons…

Hey Rose,
Democrats make up the largest portion of millionaires in Congress, so take your FAUX outrage at Palin making $$ somewhere else! I NEVER hear the left condemn those on the left making $$, yet they ridicule Palin for it.

Pure, unmitigated drivel. No facts. No sources. Garbage like this only help prove her point.

Also, when publishing a hit piece on Sarah Palin, make sure its:

1. Not after Joe Miller gargantuan primary, and in the middle of a favorable news cycle. Most MSM news outlets will steer clear of this piece so it won’t look like their trying to intentionally knock down Palin after her big wins.

2. Not days before a hurricane is poised to strike the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. Something tells me that a VF hit piece from a no name hack isn’t going to warrant the highest priority.

My guess, this story will be dead by Friday.

Hillary style media take down has begun. Attack her as an angry ball busting b*tch…. They figure it worked against Hillary.

As for being a *bad tipper* – that was so ridiculous. Just because this author has only heard of one instance where she gave a big tip, she is now a bad tipper?

And she has a bad temper? Because she and her husband had one fight?

Another stupid hit piece.

Her lack of willingness to be available to the media does suggest she is a control freak at some level.

Sarah Palin scored another big win with her endorsement of Joe Miller in Alaska, who defeated incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski.

Because Ms. Palin has proven again that she is a force to be reckoned with, the media game between now and November will be to step up efforts to denigrate her with false accusations, slanders and slurs. Of course, the only people who believe this tripe are leftists like those at Mediaite. The majority of Americans have a favorable opinion of Ms. Palin.

MichelleF said:

I, like you MichelleF, love to watch the left froth at the mouth, on-airs spend their time trying to tell the few people who do watch them how much they hate her and her family.

What they don’t get, is she gets stronger every day, while they make themselves out to be the small minded people that they are.

It is just like one of the last scenes in “The Burbs” when River Phoenix, got his 6-pak of Coke, walked out on the porch with his girlfriend to watch his weird neighbors, declaring “God I love this neighborhood!”

Who cares about a Vanity Fair hit piece? . A journalist from vanity fair is about as accurate and relable as I am. Seriously, lately the National Inquirer seems to have higher journalistic standards than Time or Newsweek. The trust they once had is over, the more they slim those they dislike, the lower the trust goes. It’s obvious, predictable, and a slow slide downhill.

You completely missed my point. I don’t spend my days thinking about Olbermann or Matthews either. Let’s try this again: The right is pathetically addicted to Palin, Beck, and Limbaugh… Now does my comment make sense?

BTW, Katie Couric and CBS received awards for their sleazy hit on Sarah Palin. Guess it didn’t help:

With a new round of layoffs expected this fall, CBS News is being trimmed to the bone.. [Earlier this year] CBS announced a round of layoffs that reduced the roughly 1,400-person staff by nearly 100. A host of smaller snips came as well: The person who handled ordering business cards vanished, and staffers haven’t been able to get them since. Cell phone services are blocked on company-provided BlackBerrys for many producers, who are now encouraged to communicate by text. The communication between CBS brass, including news division president Sean McManus, and their staff has all but vanished.

“There’s no email,” said one producer. “There is no sense at all that you’re at a network.”

“These are tough times for everyone,” Couric said…[this from a woman who makes $15,000,000 per year]

I apologize Paul for misunderstanding, but you’re still wrong, I’m in NO way addicted to Palin. The only time I spend thinking about her is when the left does a hit piece on her. The left spends WAY more time talking about her than the right does. Don’t get me wrong, I like her, but I’m not addicted to her like the left. Sorry, I just think you are wrong here.

Can’t wait for the people who built this woman from nothing to take her down to nothing. The press has been playing with her to get headlines, now they are getting bored with her. That is what happens when someone thinks they are on a pedestal, and it all comes crashing down. It all begins now!! Can’ t wait!!

HYPO alert!!!

DonnaK said:

I wouldn’t suggest you hold your breath. Otherwise you’ll miss being refudiated in November.

Don’t you people realize that everything you once accused Obama of being has turned out to be true for Sarah Palin (and to a certain extent, Glenn Beck)? An empty vessel onto which everyone projects their hopes? All style, no substance? Talking a lot, but not really saying anything? More of a celebrity than a politician? Supported by a brainwashed cult following who feels they can do no wrong? Touting an inspirational backstory that may or may not be true? Completely and utterly unqualified to do anything but write best-sellers? Someone who, if you criticize them, you MUST be racist (sexist)? No, of course you don’t see the irony this. You love Sarah, but no one can really say why. Like her, when asked a direct question about it you can only respond with vague platitudes like “freedom” and “America”.

No problem, but you’ll have to excuse my skepticism. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. The way people leap to their defense over any perceived criticism certainly makes it appear that the right is just as obsessed as they claim the left is.

All Sarah Palin is a freak of nature choice that John McCain made without the proper vetting you give for a VP pick. Palin would still be an obscure governor of a small state if McCain and his staff did what Obama did,make a political choice (win PA and OH) and someone who could be president Joe Biden.She will never run for president or any other office.As the great Keith Olbermann says “This woman is an idiot”And John McCain and his campaign will live with there mistake for eternity.

Maybe because your heroine quit in the middle of her term as governor, to go out in the world to make tons of money. As far as you never hearing the left condemning those of the left making money, I never hear those on the right (including you) ever condemning anyone on the right. And because of that, I can only assume that you believe every word spoken by Limbaugh, Beck and Palin, even when they are contradictory. I have no outrage re Palin, not even faux (no need to capitalize the word, dear). What I do have is bemusement as to why all of you think she is so great. Please enlighten me.

Good one Paul ,

Everyone on the let and right have their flaws and strong points. The childish game of pointing them out and bickering like children over who is the worst is a huge waste of time. It is relevant to look at public speakers like elected officials and pundits to gauge sincerity and honesty. We keep enriching the “opinion for hire” crowd instead of actually working to solve problems.

I still haven’t heard anyone say just what it is that’s so great about Palin without (like her) being vague, cliched, and oversimplified.

Cubby said:

She does have the ability to fire up and energy a portion of the GOP base. She knows how to tap into it. That shouldn’t be ignored.

write about Sarah Palin and they will come

honestly I think the media use her and she realized that after a while, and now it’s an endless cycle. Lefties can’t deal with a woman on the right, so it’s ironic how much attention she gets. I couldn’t give two shits, if she gets people motivated and talks about personal values. I like the accent and strange-to-lower48 quips. She’s weird to people due to metaphors and there’s not much punctuation, it’s more of endless sentences and very minimal “uh”s…but no one every points that out.

Granted, but why? What do these people find so enthralling about her? I think it’s because she is a master manipulator who plays to their basest fears, but I would LOVE to hear some specific reasons why she’s the last great hope for America (besides Beck, of course!).

I have been asking that same question to others in this website! What is it about Sarah Palin that draw people to her? I can’t help but think, sadly, that it is her ability to say nasty things about the “enemy,” or the Democrats. As far as I can tell, she rarely goes beyond simplistic platitudes, so is that enough for her base? I would really like a serious answer, and an intelligent dialogue.

I gave up looking for intelligent dialogue around here a LONG time ago, Alamo. I’d like to think the comments here aren’t a reflection of our national discourse, but I think I’m just in denial.

I have asked what draws people to Sarah Palin a couple of times in this blog. I have asked for a serious dialogue on this. Instead, I get nothing except thumbs down. This happens a lot. There are a few people willing to engage in intelligence discourse. But for the most part, comments are usually nasty, filthy or simply rude. And they rarely engage one. Sadly, such comments play only to the commenter’s base, and do nothing to convince others of their position or belief.

Even Ben Smith from Politico thinks this is dreck

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0910/Saying_anything_about_Palin.html

When Vanity Fair attacks Sarah Palin over her handling of her OWN undergarments, I think its safe to say that liberal journalism, and modern liberalism as a whole has jump the shark.

Nobody going to touch this story. Not ABC. Not CBS. Not CNN. FOX DEFINITELY won’t touch it.

Is this the same Vanity Fair that alleged last year that several Alaskans, independent of each other, had consulted “narcissistic personality disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and thought it fit Palin perfectly? I’m sure its utterly coincidental that as Palin’s star continues to rise another aggressively negative profile comes out.

Antony Dupuy said:

“she didn’t get an abortion”
You get some kind of medal of honor for doing what millions of mothers do on a daily basis?
“she takes care of a baby with down syndrome”
So? My mother take care of two autistic children and a blind diabetic. Does that mean she can lead the fucking country?
“she seems like somebody I can sit down and talk with”
Same here with Obama, but that’s not why I would vote for him.

Once again, you refuse to join the dialogue. Here you have a chance to point out your position re Ms. Palin, to enlighten, to educate. Instead, you attack with platitudes that you cannot back up. It’s a shame, really. I don’t really blame you. It’s the way of the Internet. Attack under anonymity, and never join in an educated discussion. Both the ultra left and the ultra right do this, and it adds nothing to our knowledge. It only pushes hate and frustration.

That is exactly what I’m saying. They either denounced or didn’t care that a woman that knows nothing of national affairs was so close to being commander-in-chief yet attempt to discredit Obama saying he has no knowledge of certain things.You should check out some of the comments here:

We don’t know much about her personal life? Are you kidding me? We know more about her personal life than pretty much anyone. The press has been relentless about prying into her personal life. We get a “scathing profile” by some dying rag every other week. We know far more about Palin than we do about President Obama. If the media had spent half as much time investigating Palin as they did Obama — he wouldn’t be president right now. Which is precisely why they didn’t investigate him and still won’t. The reason the public is confused about Obama’s religion and other issues is because we don’t know him. We’ve had a stranger living in the WH for 18 months. He feels more like the media’s president than our president. The media is desperate to stop Palin, but no matter how many hit pieces they do she only gets more popular. That’s the only reason Levi Johnston’s 15 minutes aren’t up yet. Even though he’s a moron and a liar the media keeps giving him air time in the hopes it will damage Sarah Palin. It’s not going to work.

This is the kind of reply that you get from the right when you ask for intelligent dialogue. I feel sorry for this person.

Autistim is diagnosed when the child is a toddler. The baby usually appears complexly normal during infancy without any special needs or requirements.

However, a handicapped downs syndrome infant has immediate special needs from birth. Downs infants can have heart problems, vision problems, sucking and feeding problems. Sarah is completely accurate when she says she’s never been around an infAnt with special needs. And it makes the writers and editors at Vanity Fair look like uneducated morons. Do your homework guys.

I also think the article gives a wide opening to revisit all the Clinton family violence, against each other, and against innocent women like Paula Jones, and Juanita Broderick, who alleged thAt Bill Clinton violently raped her, and injured her while he was governor.

Again, will NO ONE give a good reason as to why Sarah Palin is so great? Other than “she makes the libs mad”? Oh wait, judging from “yes ma’am” and “you fucking tard”, I can judge the intelligence level around here. Point taken.

She is our political Elliot Ness, unafraid to fight corruption, and take power away from the corrupt power brokers. She is not afraid to stand with the weak and defenseless like the handicapped, and the unborn. She champions their cause, at great personal expense and danger to herself and her family.
She took on the corrupt oil companies in Alaska, exposing them and sending several of the corrupt hierarchy to jail. She is a proud small business woman who understands what it’s like to to do hard physical labor! And make a profit. Palin has FAITH in the American people and their talents and abilities. Palin knows that WE are the answer to the country’s problems, not government bureaucracy and the ruling class.

I like to think of Palin as The Goddess of Energy. Palin understands energy, she’s dealt with energy production, she thinks we should have more and CHEAPER energy, unlike Obama who says that under his plan, electricity rates would ‘necessarily skyrocket.’

Juno said:

What are the specifics of Palin’s energy plans?

This article is part of the violent wilding against Sarah Palin. Palin’s wholesomeness, earnestness, sincerity and integrity are a huge threat to the criminal corrupt leftists. You can almost hear them chanting “Crucify her. Crucify her. Crucify her.”. The Democrats are melting, melting, like the wicked witch.

Next time Vanity Fair is going to find a biased reporter and really let Palin have it.

Palins energy plan is All of the Above. SHe believes in producing cheap domestic energy from the most viable sources for the majority of our energy, and exploring the production of more expensive alternative energy sources that are not yet viable sources of CHEAP energy. Palin knows that the Obama gulf policy is a disaster, as oil companies pull out rigs permanently due to the drilling moratorium. Industy experts made the recommendation to CONTINUE drilling. Secretary Salazar dishonestyly changed the document after the experts had signed off on it, and he rewrote it to say that there should be a moratorium. When Republicans retake Congress they should investigate the MORITORIUM- gate scandal. Thirty thousand people have lost their jobs and OBAMA just golfs endlessly.

It is already starting, New poll just out — Romney beats Palin in her own state of Alaska, Isn’t it great. People in Alaska can’t stand this hypocrite!! Loving it!!

Love the people are cheering Romney. The man is a financial genius who has created tenses of thousands of private jobs. Liberals would rather have us all getting welfare checks instead of paychecks. Democrats don’t have a clue of how to create private jobs. Instead of teaching kids endlessly about sex, we should be teaching them, how a JOB is made.

Yippee! Another hit-piece by a far-left media outlet. Yes, today is a day that ends in “y”.

paulmdoro said:
What are the specifics of Palin’s energy plans?

Let’s start by putting calling to an end of that drilling moratorium in the gulf for starters..that will provide income for several thousand people in the gulf.

Re-open the land Salazar has closed off in the west…That will put several more thousands of people back to work.

Start using Alaska’s oil and minerals….that should put several hundreds of thousands back to work.

Quit funding Green technology…now we have to subsidize the manufacturing of Green Energy, then turn around and subsidize the purchasers of the very same Green Energy. – Things like this make sense in a classroom, but nowhere else.

This is just a starter program….there is a whole lot more.

paulmdoro said:

If she runs for President, you’ll find out then. I think a more important question is “what is Obama doing to improve our energy needs now? For example, has he ENDED our dependence on foreign oil yet? Why not?

Sarah Palin is a socialist. She took that dirty Exxon oil money and gave the dividends back to the public.

Every citizen in Alaska gets a check from the state from the profits of oil sales due to drilling on PUBLIC land. Those are inherently the PEOPLEs resources if it is their land, so they deserve a cut of the profits. Conservatives have always been in favor of profit sharing rather than welfare payments which is what the left prefers.

Romney knows Its the JOBS, stupid. Romney is a job making machine.

And this comment received two thumbs up. What is wrong with you people? This respondent (Constantly) obviously has anger management issues and should seek out a psychiatrist to help him/her out. He never engages in intelligent dialogue, instead throwing out filthy insults that some teenagers on a street corner would use.

Romney was also the architecht of the health insurance plan for all people in Massachusetts, the same plan he repudiated when he ran for President. And you don’t have to call people names. That only weakens your argument. If you said more about Romney’s jobs programs, I might agree with you.

Depends on who you ask, so you might want to do a little reading before calling someone “stupid.”

So basically Palin’s energy plan is produce cheap energy and explore alternative energy sources? That’s it?

Why do so many of my conservative relatives gladly accept welfare payments every month then?

All that dichotomy in one women. Seems like she’s a typical human being to me. The Left hates her, that makes me like even more!

I have asked what draws people to Sarah Palin a couple of times in this blog. I have asked for a serious dialogue on this. Instead, I get nothing except thumbs down. This happens a lot. There are a few people willing to engage in intelligence discourse. But for the most part, comments are usually nasty, filthy or simply rude. And they rarely engage one. Sadly, such comments play only to the commenter’s base, and do nothing to convince others of their position or belief.

The childish bickering and exchange if insults is a good example of why people are so easily manipulated. It’s not a team sport where one side is right the other wrong. We either seriously try to work together as concerned citizens to make things better or we will continue to be manipulated and suffer the consequences.

I’m a conservative who takes Palin at face value. Most of us don’t expect her to run in 2012. I’m hoping it’s one of the young guns like Ryan. What gets me is how personally vindictive most liberals get with someone they consider so moronic and unworthy. Same attitude you have with the Tea Party. Same attitude you have with Bush. Same attitude you have with anyone that doesn’t agree with you. It’s impossible to debate intollerent people. What drives such contempt?

“so go back to your dr seuss books you fucking tard”

Except a conservative said that. So maybe you want to rephrase your statement above?

I think your comments succinctly state what is definitely wrong in our country, especially as we see in on the Internet. I have tried to unsuccessfully to get a dialogue going on a few topics on this website. For the most part, all I get are nasty insults, and juvenile cuss words. I would bet it would be a lot better if some of these sites forced us to use our real names. Then maybe some of the juveniles would disappear.

We’ve seen it time and time again. It is always the people who wear their religion on their sleeve who are the most deranged.
They try and save everyone else because they are so lost themselves.

Palin and Beck are not “good” people.

Sarah is great because she is an honest and decent person who is protective of America and LOVES the country and it,s people. She is our political Elliot Ness, unafraid to fight corruption, and take power away from the corrupt power brokers. She is not afraid to stand with the weak and defenseless like the handicapped, and the unborn. She champions their cause, at great personal expense and danger to herself and her family.
She took on the corrupt oil companies in Alaska, exposing them and sending several of the corrupt hierarchy to jail. She is a proud small business woman who understands what it’s like to to do hard physical labor! And make a profit. Palin has FAITH in the American people and their talents and abilities. Palin knows that WE are the answer to the country’s problems, not government bureaucracy and the ruling class.

Pretty rose colored glasses you’ve got.
At great personal expense? She abandoned her job to pursue personal fortune. Nothing wrong with that, but it says something about her priorities doesn’t it?

I’d like to see a site that screened the posts and barred personal insults and posters who couldn’t resist using them. We desperately need an honest exchange of ideas and feelings. I think the Tea Party folks have good reasons for being angry and disgusted with our government. I share those feelings. I’d don’t think blindly following the” opinion for hire” pundits help much. I don’t disagree with everything Beck says, or Maddow, or ORielly, or Olberman says. I do get annoyed with media who who repeatedly and intentionally distort the facts for profit and political points. It’s harder to make informed decisions when our major media outlets don’t really inform us. Each issue presents it’s own problems and facts. It should be okay to have a respectful disagreement and discussion without the obvious ignorance of lumping all conservatives or liberals together. The US vs. THEM thing is a ploy to distract the masses from what’s going on behind the scenes. Honest conservatives and liberals both love this country and want it to thrive and improve. We may disagree on the exact path we should take but there’s no need and no advantage in hating and insulting each other over those disagreements.
Please folks; if you’re truly a patriot and love this country, learn how to communicate without insults. Value the facts over a false sense of victory. That goes for everybody.

Last thing we need is another politician. This line from the article says it all: Erratic behavior and a pattern of lying matter little: “Such falsehoods never damage Palin’s credibility with her admirers, because information and ideology are incidental to this relationship.”

This woman (and her followers) are uninformed and stubbornly ignorant.

Palin has identified the enemy: anyone that does not worship at her feet.
Is she good for American politics: NO

Coming soon to your college campus to make off with every dollar not nailed down, Sara Palin.

Christ would never herald such disrespect and display of lack of dignity towards others.

Hey Paul, I wrote MOST liberals and yes it goes both ways. You have to remember that almost all of the Mediate writers take their bias swipes at conservatives so the defensive mode turns ugly early.

You really think statements like “so go back to your dr seuss books you fucking tard” are defensible?

Gotta give credit to Sarah for one thing……she absolutely owns the minds of the left

Why doesn’t it surprise me that Glynnis would highlight this piece?

It is unsourced, pure BS….kind of like what mediaite has turned into.

Big F ing deal, the perfect example of all flash and no substance is what we’ve endured with this administration.They are so lacking with the R&D PART OF THE PROCESS IT’S LAUGHABLE. Imagine coming out day 2 of your presidency and proclaiming your going to close Gitmo and you have no clue where the prisoners are going to go.You vet a tax cheat like Geitner who came from the old regime and have him head an agency that he was a part of and a big cause of the financial meltdown. Great due diligence with the stimulus plan, putting it in the hands of political thieves. Let’s talk about Cash for Clunkers with the crashed websites and the dealers complaining they weren’t getting paid.OOOH let’s give the credit card companies time to get their act together to screw us all. Why don’t you ask the restaurant industry and all the other small margin businesses how much they LOVE the new health care plan. Go ahead and Google restaurant industry repurcussions from health care plan. Do you think it will be a tax increase to the poor when they;re paying a couple dollars more for their fast food combos. Talk about the so called elite crushing this country with no buy in from the foundation of this country. Throw your little barbs in because looking at all your posts you have no substance either

Sarah sure looks pretty in that photo.

Pretty, smart, saavy, ferocious–I love how the Obots TRY to hide their boners for her behind their empty critiques. They have small boners but they certainly are hard for her.

Well, you ask for intelligent discourse, and this is what you get. I hope you rightwingers are proud of yourselves.

The left wing fanatics should really look at themselves in the mirror. When they start doing investigative reporting on how much Sarah Palin tips, they look awfully petty. I mean, Bill Clinton gets accused of sexual assault by Kathleen Willey, and the whole left wing media passes that over in silence, but Sarah Palin tips 12% rather than 15% and that gets the full expose treatment. Just sayin’…

You are a pathetic little uneducated creature, aren’t you….

Sarah Palin – dumb-ass, bad temper, terrible tipper, in that order.

Folks, this is really getting pathetic. If “bad temper” and “bad tipper” are all leftists have, it’s really pitiful. Hell, I don’t know about how he tips, but if you just go by “bad temper,” that describes nearly 3/4 of the MSNBC opinion show hosts… most especially Ed Schultz.

It has nothing to do with the left attacking her. It’s a Vanity Fair article about a celebrity, a media figure. She’s a celebrity and she’s cashed in on it. This is the kind of thing that goes with it. It’s like reporting on Mel’s tantrums or Lindsey’s court issues. It’s not political.

I bet you think about that a lot don’t you? I’m not a doctor but that doesn’t seem healthy. Just, out of concern, thought I’d throw that out there.

Not only are members of the Sarah Palin cult unable to articulate any actual, specific reason they see her as presidential material (aside from platitudes, talking points, feel-good drivel and the old standby “She drives liberals crazy,” but they don’t know squat about her actual record either.

Case in point from Juno: “She took on the corrupt oil companies in Alaska, exposing them and sending several of the corrupt hierarchy to jail.”

This is total crap. It’s not an opinion, like the rest of your post. It’s factually and demonstrably inaccurate. The inquiry into Alaska’s corrupt politicians and two executives of the oil services company VECO began long before she was governor, and she had nothing to do with their indictments or convictions. You can thank the U.S. government for that–the FBI, the IRS, and the Department of Justice. (All of the corrupt legislators were Republicans, by the way.)

She did raise taxes on the oil companies (which is one reason that oil companies are now looking elsewhere to do business). She also gave a half-billion dollars to a Canadian company to do some prep work on a gas pipeline. Have fun trying to square those actions against her Twitters and FB pronouncements about “America first” and “don’t tax businesses,” blah blah blah. But she did not take on “corrupt oil companies” or send anyone from their hierarchy to jail.

Oh, and Palin’s such an expert on energy that she repeatedly gave the wrong facts about Alaska’s energy production during the 2008 campaign. http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/energetically_wrong.html

I know the guy who used to work in her D.C. office on oil & gas issues. Before McCain picked her, I asked this person if Palin was as stupid as everyone was saying (because it was becoming apparent in Alaska just how ill-equipped she was for the job). He said that if you wrote down what she needed to know on a half-sheet of paper, she could probably deal with it.

Now she’s down to her palm, and who can blame her? Why work harder than you must when your acolytes will believe any old BS you dish out?

Written for a bozo on the Meghan McCain thread who said Ms. Palin was *the factor* in John McCain’s defeat, but there are so many idiot leftists here I wanted to share. :>)

John McCain was *the factor* in his own defeat. The mere fact that he needed Sarah Palin’s endorsement to win the Arizona Republican primary should tell you that. However, if that basic truth doesn’t penetrate your noggin, then the growth and development of the Tea Party should. It is Sarah Palin who energizes the Tea Party, and Sarah Palin’s endorsement that is sought by Republican candidates. Since Nov 2008, she has outshined McCain, while at the same time remaining admirably loyal to him. This despite the fact that some of McCain’s aides tried to blame her for the loss.

BTW, isn’t TPM one of yours?

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/from-grizzlies-to-goatees-sarah-palin-becomes-2010-kingmaker.php?ref=mp

I don’t recommend it, but if you really want to see how ridiculous your assertion is, watch Palin and McCain on stage when she endorsed him. Then talk to me about who has more clout.

It’s late in the day and this is the end of the comments on Sarah Palin. I’m trying to get a handle on why people are interested in her. She’s not a bad person, but there is nothing at all exceptional about her. Yes, she was a mediocre governor of a big state with a small population and she was very willingly placed in a situation where she could have become the President of the United States! Holy Shit! Imagine the chaos she would have created! We would be in a much worse state than we’re in now. Many more wars, even higher unemployment, the breakdown of government as she, like Bush, but even worse, would bring more and more unqualified people into government positions. There would be rioting and breakdown within the US. It’s a shame that the Beck/Palin supporters can’t put two and two together and see the destructive results of their passions.

Poor dolt. Yes, we can see the destructive results. And Democrats will see and feel them on Nov 2.
BTW, did you know that the majority of voters in Ohio now prefer Bush to Obama, including 11% of Democrats? (FYI, Ohio is a key swing state in elections). Keep on pissing in the wind, it suits you.

It’s not looking good for Vanity Fair when CNN’s Peter Hamby has joined liberals such as Ben Smith, Dave Weigel, race-baiter Charles Blow, and Kirsten Powers in denouncing the Vanity Fair hit piece. Hamby tweets:

.@benpolitico is right re: VF article. I was w/ Palin for entire VP bid. never got a hint that she “lashed out at the slightest provocation”

Pro-abortion radical Monika Bauerlein from the extreme Mother Jones magazine tweets:

I didn’t think anything could make me rear up in Sarah Palin’s defense, but this VF profile is close.

“Sarah, these aides say, seemed comforted by having the children around, and she seemed lonely when they were gone.” Truly a monster.

this article is hysterical! :)

Don’t expect an answer. I tried all day to get an interesting discussion going about her, and the conservatives absolutely refused. All I got for my troubles were thumbs down (whatever that means), cuss words, and insults. No one would tell me why they think she is a favorite among Republicans.

Rose Salomon said:
You people refuse to read the article because why? Maybe because it’s true. This woman is a money hungry Bit..h who doesn’t give a crap about the people all she cares about is making money.

Sooooo, you ridicule people as being obsessed with Palin, and ridicule them for not reading an article about the so-called object of their obsession. Then you say you are not obsessed with her as you admit to reading the article about her. Contradict much?

alamo2 said:

Do your own research. I did mine.

None of the information in the article comes as a surprise to me. Palin is a self-absorbed, brainless twit who probably couldn’t comprehend most of the article if she read it herself. Oh, that’s right. She doesn’t read.

Sarah Palin. An American Embarrassment.

She will be rightfully aborted by the US Political system following her sound defeat in 2012.

. . . None of the things revealed in this profile would be terribly interesting; for the most part it’s pretty basic stuff.

That still did not keep Glynnis from banging out a 350 word introduction to a multi-excerpted segment with another 700 words of copy, all in order to smear the woman. Imagine if there was something worthwhile in the article.

Numerous posters/Palin haters demanding to know what is so great about Palin, then, when Palin supporters tell why they admire her, what they get back are comments saying their opinions are mere “talking points”, among other things. WTF? If someone that hates chocolate asks me “what’s so great about chocolate?”, and I say “I like the flavor”, what then? Will they then simply assume that I have never actually tasted chocolate, that I don’t know squat about chocolate, but I am merely repeating words that I have heard someone else say, because in their world, everyone MUST HATE chocolate? Asinine! How dull the world would be if we were all of one mind. Don’t think you’re superior because you like/hate Palin-you’re just a big walking bag of puss, piss, feces, and snot, with an opinion. And for the record, I like Sarah. I don’t worship her, nor do I think she is the Second Coming of Christ. (Who, for some, is evidently Obama) She is simply a conservative woman with a belief in smaller government and the potential of the individual in a free society. Nothing sinister there. Hate her if you must, but don’t demand that the whole world share your opinion.

who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is a black man, lol. We met online at an interracial dating site_________ **** B l a c k W h i t e C u p i d (C o m) ***** ______—a nice and free place for singles- black & white, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends. ;) ;)

It doesn’t surprise me at all that Palin doesn’t tip well. So much for her high regard for the working class. And a bad temper and paranoia also fit after all this is a woman who relished shooting animals from a helicopter so cruelty to people is no great stretch for her. I am all for hunting and fishing but what a cowardly habit. I would guess she has a few black widow tendencies and a well glazed over sociopathic leaning that if unchecked would permit her to eat her own young. She’s a phoney who thinks anyone who disagrees with her is not a “real American.” Well you can’t get much more “real” than slinging hash in an Alaskan diner on your feet for eight + hours a day only to be stiffed by a tightwad with a Gucci handbag but with no regard for others. Shame on you Mrs. Palin… but then, it’s quite clear to America that you have no shame.

BTW, Katie Couric and CBS received awards for their sleazy hit on Sarah Palin. Guess it didn’t help: With a new round of layoffs expected this fall, CBS News is being trimmed to the bone.. [Earlier this year] CBS announced a round of layoffs that reduced the roughly 1,400-person staff by nearly 100. A host of smaller snips came as well: The person who handled ordering business cards vanished, and staffers haven’t been able to get them since. Cell phone services are blocked on company-provided BlackBerrys for many producers, who are now encouraged to communicate by text. The communication between CBS brass, including news division president Sean McManus, and their staff has all but vanished. “There’s no email,” said one producer. “There is no sense at all that you’re at a network.” “These are tough times for everyone,” Couric said…[this from a woman who makes $15,000,000 per year] http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-08-31/cbs-news-implosion-katie-couric-ratings-drop-layoffs-to-come/?cid=hp:mainpromo2

Hey dude… all Katie Couric did was ask Palin what she liked to read….. (the sound of crickets chirping in the background as Palin struggles to recall the name of any newspaper, any now, any at all… this hardly constitutes and ambush) all Palin did was reveal her basic ignorance at every step along the way.

An image, will remain in my mind for, I suspect, a long, long time. The image of, not only the day John McCain introduced his VP pick, but everytime they were on a stage together, after that day. He couldn’t wait to get her on that mic, in front of the crowds, to exploit her, as a woman, not only a woman, but what many, including John McCain, see as a sizzling hot babe in shooter glasses. The image of, John McCain attempting to sell her to America, like a little old dirty pimp selling a piece of meat on the street corner. A cheap image, to say the very least. John McCain is responsible for exploiting her family, to no end. She may not have been qualified to be the VP of the United States of America. On the other hand, with a good running mate, who knows. John McCain tried to pull a fast one, he got his, and she is getting hers, now. I’m a Centrist Democrat, call it pity or whatever, but I wish this woman and her family the best. She’s got something that resonates with the Tea-rror Party and nobody can dispute that. Albeit, I don’t agree with a darn thing she says she stands for.

I’m kind of getting tired of the “intelligent dialogue”, “intellectual dialogue”, etc… cliche coming from the left. All it means to them is “Why won’t you inbred right-wing idiots just agree with me? Can’t you see that I’m smarter than you?”

Which despite how much they believe right-wingers deserve to be insulted that way, is just counterproductive and little else. If they’re truly the more reasonable, intelligent side, and have no hate in their heart, they’re not doing a very good job of proving it.

No it’s not ridiculing Palin for making $$ somewhere else. It is the fact that she is capitalizing upon the ignorance of people who are totally obssessed with her and cannot accept the fact that she is infallible. She can make all the money she desires, but don’t do in the name of protecting “ordinary” Americans because then her self-serving is obvious.

What a lot of people are asking for is an exchange of ideas without insults and profanity. I’ll grant you that some lefties are doing it too, but you don’t have to look at the comments on Mediate very much to see conservatives being pretty mean spirited , insulting and profane. Let’s all encourage liberals and conservatives alike to stay away from that kind of discussion.

Thanks for this. I joined the Coffee Party on facebook and I support the ideals stated in this pledge and on the web site. Neither left nor right but concerned Americans with diverse views trying to encourage involvement and reasonable dialogue.

This story has been debunked by an on-the-record source; the one source named in the VF article.

Funny that Glynnis hasn’t found the time to review, read, and post the debunking.

Just more evidence that mediaite is taking a downward turn and pushing the same storylines that MSNBC and Olbermann are pushing.

Glynnis, I thought you were more fair that than.

Oh well, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

I will forever now look at your articles with a grain of salt, no, a pound of salt.

Shame on Dan for allowing this BS to continue on this board.

Wow, an ambitious politician turns out to be a dimwitted paranoid bitch when the cameras are off. Stop the presses.

Substitute “John Kerry”, “John Edwards”, “John McCain”, “Hillary Clinton” or “Jan Brewer” (or just about any other governor, congressman or senator) and the article would still be completely accurate.

I still want to see Sarah Palin’s high school diploma.

I see that the classless Palin had a big meltdown on Hannity today. Throwing around words like “limp” “impotent”, they must be words she is familiar with since they came to mind so quickly. It just proves the article right, about she go nuts when anyone talks about her. She was stupid to confirm the article by her actions, but people like her can’t contain themselves when they are crossed. She is a hateful woman, and she is on her way out…..

The New Democrats – FEEL THE HATE!!

Here ya go Glynnis; you just might want to post a whole new story, or at least update the piece of garbage you posted here. Gross and VF getting beaten up by left and right for this hate piece on Palin:

Mr. Michael Gross,

You just “Sarah Palined” people here.

I’m going through a list doing damage control and telling people I’m so sorry I gave you their contacts and vouched for your professionalism and credibility.

You have neither.

I don’t give a rip what you said about me – though it was so completely wrong, and put me in such a completely inaccurate and unfavorable light people are mad on my behalf.

Fine thanks for Alaskan hospitality. I have extended the Alaska Spirit to dozens of journalists and visitors, and I will continue to do so. It’s on YOU, not me, as you are the only one who has broken agreements with sources you promised complete anonymity.

I’m sure you’re thrilled to be on TV now. Just know, like Sarah, Alaskans paid a price for it. Specifically, a 79-year old woman, with failing health, who spoke to you under anonymity who hopes her adult children will speak to her again.

Shame on you. You’re not a writer…you’re a climber.

With no respect,

Sarah is really great. She can really drive the lefties nuts. Yah!
Tea Parties are terrific!
Liberals are so unclassy and gross.

I am so relieved that I am a conservative!

“limp” “impotent”,

Donna, is your husband a reporter at Vanity Fair?

“Sarah Palin on Thursday tore into “impotent, limp and gutless reporters” who quote anonymous sources criticizing her.
Though she did not name a story in particular, Palin seemed to be referencing a new Vanity Fair story…”

You people refuse to read the article because why? Maybe because it’s true.

What if it were true–which some of it “might” be. At the end of the day this article is nothing but one of a long list of (attempted) hit pieces by some liberal rag who wants to make a name for themselves or sell a few more copies to the hate-filled morons who give up a part of their welfare checks to get a copy so they can take it home and wring their wretched hands with glee as they cackle to their friends through the haze of cigarette smoke and the stench of stale beer that someone has given Ms. Palin her comeuppance.

Palin is somewhat “teacher” hot, but no substance, no background, nothing, the tea baggers just like her!

I suppose Edwin Edwards is more your type.

Or maybe Ray Nagin, or Moon Moriaux, or maybe Huey P Long?

I couldn’t control Long! Your right about Nagin! I knew Edwards and there wasa little more or less unknown info. with him but I am glad to hear someone from the area that I miss so much! I will take the hit! Best to you.

Ooh another obot with a boner for Palin. Don’t be embarassed if all you have is a little vienna sausage, baby. Shhhh, don’t cry.

Communicating successfully is not having university grads understand you, (they don’t understand themselves). Many people look at the forest or a house and describe it differently, meaning things look different from a different angle or from different experiences. Simplicity could bring all of us together, but for many different reasons, many of us get too emphatic, too serious, with an inflated ego as to our worth and what matters. Sara fits this mold. I would not vote for Sarah Palin for any position, but I think she means well, I don’t think she intentionally shoots the bull, but a lot of automobiles have been wrecked with many causalities by people who thought they were right.

Glynnis still hasn’t bothered to update this article. Her endorsement of this BS leaves her out in the cold. Liberals and conservatives alike have panned this hit piece on Palin, but not our Glynnis. What a sad state of affairs for mediaite.

Even VF is issuing corrections due to the high BS level in this article. Poor Glynnis….
