What hypocrites the media liberals and Democrat politicians are.  They say that religion is a private matter and emphasize that America has a tradition of the separation of church and state. Yet religion is fair game when they need to go after a conservative.  "Mitt Romney? Is America ready to support a Mormon?"  Well, isn't Nevada Senator Harry Reid a Mormon?  Why is he not attacked for his religious beliefs? Does anyone hear the media asking, “Barack Obama? Is America ready to support someone who, as an impressionable teenager, was mentored by a member of the Communist Party of the USA?” (In an effort to hide his identity, Obama referred to Davis only as “Frank,” in his book, “Dreams From My Father.”)

For the media, it was sufficient for Obama to "pretend to disown" his pastor, Jeremiah Wright.  Apparently we are to believe that Obama slept through 20 years of high-volume, rabble-rousing, inflammatory sermons from Wright.  (Wright’s voice is a bit louder than Clint Eastwood’s.) If Obama can sleep through Wright's sermons, he'll sleep right through that 3 a.m. phone call Hillary Clinton warned about.  Obama apparently doesn't read his church literature, either, or he might have noticed the announcement of the award given by his church to Nation of Islam leader - and infamous Jew-hater - Louis Farrakhan.  (Or perhaps Obama agreed with the honoring of Farrakhan, and has a cabinet position waiting for him. Or maybe he'll be the Ambassador to Palestine after Iran eliminates Israel to give Hamas that new address.)

No, Obama gets a pass, but suddenly, reporters are rushing to Alaska to dig up as much “dirt” as they can find at Governor Palin’s church. They’re probably interviewing every baby-sitter she ever hired, and going through her trash to see if she subscribes to The Limbaugh Letter or buys groceries somewhere other than Whole Foods. If they find a sales receipt from a Wal-Mart it will make the front page of the New York Times.

The more the liberals scream and attack Palin, the more hypocritical they appear.   The more the media helps the liberal cause, the more the public hates the media. If it's important to know that Palin's husband had a drunk driving arrest 24 years ago, why is the media not telling everyone about the drunk driving arrest of Biden's daughter - which happened much more recently?  How about the video of a very drunk Biden singing and dancing?  Will Keith Olberman show that?  How about repeating some of the videotape of Biden insulting Judges Robert Bork, ridiculing Judge Clarence Thomas, and questioning Anita Hill?  Will they show that as often as they showed Dan Quayle misspelling potato?

And, let's see...  Palin is form a small town, became Governor, then went directly to a national ticket.  Wow, no one like that should dare to be Vice-President.  Has the media reminded anyone of Plains Georgia?  You know, the town of fewer than 1,000 where Jimmy Carter hailed from, going from peanut farmer to Governor to a national ticket?  Or Hope, Arkansas, a town of fewer than 10,000, whose most famous resident became Governor and then went right to a national ticket?

A fair number of Governors have been elected President, and none of them had foreign policy experience.  That includes Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Ronald W. Reagan , Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. They all went from no foreign policy experience directly into the Presidency.  So why can't Sarah Palin go from Governor to Vice-President? If foreign policy experience is what makes the difference, then the Vice-President ought to be someone who has been (or is) Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense. Obama’s being the chairman of a foreign policy subcommittee that never holds a meeting just doesn’t cut it. No doubt the Vice-Presidential debates will include Palin being asked a stupid question like, “Who is the current President of Lichtenstein?” – as though the security of the United States depends on that and no one could look up the name if they needed it. Biden won’t know the answer either, and the media won’t ask him. But Palin might…

Yeah, yeah, what if McCain dies the day after he's sworn in?  I'm sure his 96 year-old mother - who looks pretty sprightly to me - enjoys the media predicting how long it will be before her son keels over and ground is broken for his Presidential Library. (And liberals have the nerve to call Joe McCarthy shameless.  Every person McCarthy named as a spy turned out to be a Soviet spy, by the way. Check out the Verona Papers.)  And what if Obama doesn't die the day after he's sworn in?  His foreign policy experience amounts to having briefly met a few European Presidents and then making a speech in Berlin to tens of thousands of adoring socialists.  Big deal.  Sarah Palin gave a speech to about 40 million Americans, and she at least spoke the same language as her audience. I’m sure that between Election Day and Inauguration Day, Palin can have the same meet and greet Obama had – and she won’t promise to burden American with more taxes to make it easier for Europe to compete.

Palin doesn't deserve the vicious attacks she's been getting, but she seems more than capable of defending herself.  If the liberals want a war, they'd better be ready to see campaign ads linking Obama to:

Reverend Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright
Vicious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan
William Ayers (domestic terrorist, bomber, former fugitive from justice, and unrepentant socialist radical who is working with Obama on a "reparations education program" to give all blacks free college education as payback for slavery)
Bernadine Dohrn, Ayers' wife, also a domestic terrorist and former fugitive from justice (how many of McCain’s friends have been on the FBI’s most wanted list?), member of Weather Underground, socialist, anti-capitalist, and occasional baby-sitter for the Obamas
Frank Marshall Davis, member of the Communist Party of the USA, and Obama's mentor when he was an impressionable teen in Hawaii (referred to only as "Frank" in Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father")
Saul Alinsky, socialist, revolutionary, and author of the 1960s hippie radical riot handbook, "Rules for Radicals," which Michelle Obama quoted twice in her DNC speech ("the world as it is or the world as it should be," from Chapter 2 of Alinsky's book)
and on and on and on...

So keep up the vicious personal attacks, liberals. The conservatives can counter liberal lies and hypocrisy with the truth.

The media certainly wants an Obama win, but once they smell defeat they will throw him under the bus.  A Pulitzer Prize to a reporter is, after all, more important than anything. Hell, even world socialism can be delayed for that.  But as soon as Obama starts slipping in the polls, the tide will turn.  The media hated Nixon, but that didn't stop it from dumping on McGovern in 1972.

Yes, much of the far left crowd will continue to go crazy, but the reporters who later want to be called on by a President McCain at his press conferences will start "playing nice" as soon as they see the public turning against Obama.  They're not going to hurt their own careers just to help Obama - once they see him sinking.  They are opportunists before they are Americans, after all.

Mrs. Obama can also talk about all the sacrifices a young mother has to make, but she lives in a $1.6 million mansion, makes $316,692 per year, has a husband who earns $162,500 per year as a Senator and has taken in at least $4 million dollars in book royalties. She can certainly afford back-to-school clothing for her kids. She can also afford to stay home with them, so stop the whining about those "difficult choices."

Granted, it was no doubt tough to lose her father.  So what?  A lot of women have lost their fathers... but that doesn't qualify their husbands for the Presidency.

For the record, Barack Obama was not a poor kid who grew up in the ghettoes. His "goat-herder" father had a middle-class job in the Kenyan government where he advocated Marxist policies, attended Harvard, and could afford to travel between the United States and Africa - which is more than most Americans can today afford. The young Obama and future Senator lived in Hawaii and Indonesia. (Maybe the airlines have special "poverty fares" that most Americans don't know about?) Obama Jr. attended Harvard and then lectured part-time at the University of Chicago for $69,000 per year. Not bad for part-time work, where he never once wrote a position paper (which is regularly done by aspiring legal eagles; perhaps he didn't want to leave a paper trail.) Then he went into politics where he managed to win by getting his Illinois State Senate primary opponents kicked off the ballot. And he won the US Senate seat by getting the media to release his opponent's sealed divorce papers. (The only time Obama had a decent opponent he lost.)
