Why do many Liberals seem absolutely in fear of Sarah Palin ? They can disagree with what she says or what she stands for.
The personal attacks on her and her family are disgraceful. Shame on all "Womens Rights " groups. Most of the attacks are sexist !!
ISLAND,
it is a funny thing to watch what you post on this board. Immediately following a FAUX news story, you get on the board and post about it. Once again though, you are wrong.
Democrats welcome Paling to 2012, its what WE are anticipating! Palin will destroy herself. What I find amuzing about you is how you run with the ball as soon as FAUX hands it to you.. In this case, it was the MCCAIN CAMPAIGN who called Palins book "A WORK OF FICTION"... maybe you should learn to understand who really wants to hurt her....hmmm?
Sarah Palin, who only polls about 15% of republicans, and dead last among all potential GOP candidates is only looking to make a few million being used by right wing interests groups. Good luck with that, what happened to her wanting to take care of her disabled child?? Seems to have left that one back in alaska to care for itself.
McCain Camp Calls Palins book fiction:
Top aides to Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign hit back at Sarah Palin Friday and Saturday, calling the former vice presidential nominee’s soon-to-be-released book “revisionist and self serving” “fiction.”
Campaign manager Steve Schmidt, who emerges as Palin’s nemesis in the advance excerpts that have surfaced from her forthcoming account of the campaign, “Going Rogue,” told POLITICO Saturday that Palin's charges about him were made up.
"It's all fiction," he said.
With a laugh, the shaved-headed political operative asked: "Why is the bald guy always the villain?"
Schmidt, Palin writes, was “grim-faced” and “cool,” and tried to pin the campaign’s troubles on what he claimed was Palin’s post-partum depression, and even went to so far as to try and dictate her diet.
According to excerpts published on the Huffington Post, Palin “took in his rotund physique and noted that he used nicotine to keep his own cognitive connections humming along.”
“I'm a forty-four year old, healthy, athletic woman raising five kids and governing a large state, I thought as his words faded into a background buzz. Sir, I really don't know you yet. But you've told me how to dress, what to say, who to talk to, a lot of people not to talk to, who my heroes are supposed to be and we're still losing. Now you're going to tell me what to eat?”
A top McCain strategist familiar with the exchange over Palin's appearance said that Schmidt and campaign manager Rick Davis approached the vice presidential nominee about the matter because people on her plane were concerned about her weight loss.
"We told her that her health came first and offered to get her a nutritionist," said the strategist.
More generally, Palin uses the book to note the “jaded aura” of the "professional political caste" guiding McCain:
"But I did notice... funny things [about the handlers] that even Piper commented on — such as tumbling out of the bus in a pack, lighting cigarettes as they went so it looked like a walking smoke cloud with legs."
Palin also faults Schmidt for his penchant for profanity, writing that he warned her just before the vice-presidential campaign that “moderator Gwen Ifill is "going to friend* with you."
"I'm thinking, Why are you telling me this? Last minute... what's the point? And no more friend-bombs around Piper, please?"
According to excerpts from copies obtained by media outlets, Palin charges that the staffers assigned to her by McCain’s team blocked her from speaking to the press aboard the campaign plane. And she asserts that former McCain communications aide Nicole Wallace ‘pushed’ her to do a September 2008 interview with CBS’s Katie Couric that resulted in serious damage to the former Alaska governor’s image.
“Aboard the campaign plane I was within twenty-five feet of reporters for hours on end. Headquarters’ strategy was that I should not go to the back of the aircraft and talk to the press,” Palin wrote, according to an excerpt that appeared Friday on the Drudge Report website. “At first this was subtle, but as the campaign wore on, [campaign aides] Tracey [Schmitt] or Tucker [Eskew] would call headquarters to request permission, and someone in DC would respond, ‘No! Absolutely not—block her if she tries to go back.’”
