Open thread: Palin vs. Gibson, round three; Update: I think Obama regrets not picking Hillary, says Palin

If Palin remains as popular as she is now I think the October surprise will be Biden dropping out & Hillary coming in either at the top of the ticket or as number two.

Open thread: Palin vs. Gibson, round three; Update: I think Obama regrets not picking Hillary, says Palin

Charlie Gibson should hit the showers. GAME OVER, LEFTY STOOGE LOSER!

And some of them….were Democrats….     Governor Palin is in august company.  Which is a helluva lot more than can be said for Charlie Gibson. [h/t: Hot Air's resident atheist]   http://hardstarboardblog.com/2008/09/american_chr...

I guess I wasn’t searching for the correct keywords. My bad. Although when I’m wrong I admit it, them not so much.

Over at http://www.upi.com/ there was a story using Gibson’s edited and out of context quotes from Palin’s prayer for the troops titled “Palin Says Iraq Is God’s War” or something like that.

I set up an account so I could comment and informed them that she’d PRAYED that is was part of God’s plan, not SAID it was. Then I told them what I thought about the “100 Years Of Journalistic Excellence” line on their masthead.

I checked back today to see if they corrected it and it’s gone. ERASED. What media bias?

The MSM/DNC Cabal is on a full court press to stop Palin in her tracks. Good luck with that fellas…

But he didn’t. He flinched,” Mr. Gingrich said. reshas1 on September 13, 2008 at 1:50 PM

One of many flinches. Johnny and Sarah are gonna womp him good.

leave gibson a comment here

Spreading it to family and friends now.

ABC was biased, but not so much to obscure the fact that Sarah Palin needs to spend a week going over McCain’s briefing books.

That is a GREAT vid, Michelle or Allah need to post it!!

Whoever is telling Palin to rehearse lines and memorize instead of to talk normally is killing the McCain/Palin campaign and needs to be fired right the hell now. The poll numbers are slipping to fast to allow this to continue.

Mr. Gingrich also said that Mr. Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, committed “the biggest political mistake of his career” by choosing not to pick Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate, and that Mrs. Palin’s selection by Republican nominee Sen. John McCain had stolen the Democrat’s thunder.

“Had he shown that he was strong enough to have both Bill [Clinton] and Hillary with him without being intimidated … he would have had a ticket that would have been hard for us to beat. But he didn’t. He flinched,” Mr. Gingrich said.

The Michelle Obama “whitey” tape hasn’t been released yet… :) – 13Girl on September 13, 2008 at 1:18 PM

I doubt that it exists. If it does exist it could be the Republicans’ October Surprise.

The Michelle Obama “whitey” tape hasn’t been released yet… :)

Dare I hope it exists???

The deal would be sealed for good.

And as an extra added and tasty bonus, the Marxist style feminism practiced by the likes of Gloria Steinem is being ripped to shreds.

I expect no response except a tiresome form letter, but if people keep pointing out the differences maybe somebody will ask Obama something substantive.

While the Palin interview was tough, in its unedited form it was the sort of questions candidates should answer as opposed to the vague pufferies masquerading as questions that were lobbed at Obama.

Kudos to Palin for answering the questions without trying to grab Gibson’s knee the way Obama did with O’Reilly.

Is Obama hot for O’Reilly or was it just a “stop this, protect me” thing?

Did YOU do this? It is farking BRILLIANT.

The Lying King

According to David Ayres, senior chief of staff to Attorney General John Ashcroft, “She was the embodiment of a hardworking young conservative who believed strongly in the president and his mission”.[5] But according to Bud Cummins, one of the fired prosecutors and an Arkansas Republican, “She was inexperienced, way too naïve and a little overzealous”. Goodling stated that she “crossed the line” and broke civil service rules about hiring, and improperly weighed political factors in considering applicants for career positions at the Department of Justice.

btw, what’s the relation between Bill Ayers and David Ayers if any?

Therein, note well, McCain IS NOT another GWB. McCain is so much more experienced and wise than GW was running for POTUS.

I don’t see McCain foolishly entrusting anything to anyone beyond their proven ability. There is absolutely no comparison between McCain’s expertise in himself studying a phenomena from all perspectives before acting upon a determination VETTING his entourage and GWBush’s habit of giving his friends opportunities beyond their capacities (Harriet Meyers, Alberto Gonzales) as though to prove how stupid affirmative action is for the public record.

So beyond contrasting the person Palin from the person Goodling, the contextual setting contrasts McCain’s militarily honed prowess over Bush’s lame happy-go-lucky style of “try it out for size”.

I think that what Palin has is the “right stuff” and with McCain, Palin is provided the vanguards of wisdom, as witnessed by those supporting her now; John Bolton, Fred Thompson, Rudy Guillianni, Newt Gingrich, etc.

Whereas, Monica with less “worldly” and executive experience, only had Gonzales’ direction motivating her personal inclinations that were far less tolerant than Palin’s.

No real comparison.

Gibson’s aggressive approach appeared to take Palin by surprise: He was clearly attempting to put her on point by presenting her as having extreme religious views. This again, however, appears to be a double-standard, as Palin grew up in the Assemblies of God, one of the largest Christian denominations in America with 16 million members, and is now a member of the Wasilla Bible Church. Even now, Obama has yet to receive any comparable grilling on his 20-year attendance in the congregation of the notoriously racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

UPI gives a very pro Palin assessment. Read the whole thing.
