Sarah Palin - Anatomy of A Smear

If you're scared, say your scared. But don't run around the country and smear someone just because you are afraid of them.

You know when someone is scared of another when the person they fear is a constant topic of conversation. So it seems with democrats and Sarah Palin. I have never seen so much fear of one person as I have with the media and democrat politicians and their fear of this woman; any time this woman thinks about making a statement, either on her Facebook page or on the air, the MSM jumps on it like a cat does a mouse.

Then MSNBC, CNN, NBC and the rest of their ilk milks it in an attempt to boost their ratings to more than 20 viewers. At least they can thank her for the boost instead of smearing her every chance they get.

Here we have a woman that was mayor of a small town in Alaska, then took on the Republican good ol' boys in the oil companies and sent them packing and eventually becoming governor of a state that provides the bulk of the USA's energy. One would think that she would be lauded as a role model for women and their struggle to make it in the cesspool of politics, but no, she is castigated, smeared and in my opinion defamed by people that have an abject fear of her.

And the media doesn't just smear her. They seem to have a penchant for going after her family.

Let's peer into the past and recall some of the "unbiased" reportage of her by the mainstream media.

Remember Lyda Green? She complained that nobody had asked her about Sarah when she was vetted. She was also the same person that tried to create a scheduling conflict so Sarah would miss her son's graduation.

What about the defamatory claim by that ragtag group of people at the Huffington Post, who made the wild claim that Trig's mother is Bristol?

And what about the smear campaign from that trustworthy National Enquirer about Track Palin?

Then there was the accusation that she was a secessionist.

Rachel Maddow smeared Sarah by claiming she is anti Semitic.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. As a last note, she has beaten all of those frivolous ethics charges filed against her.

These personal attacks and smear campaigns tells me that these people are scared witless of this woman. Why else is she a hot button issue? If she were insignificant, you definitely wouldn't be seeing her on the news as much as she has been, in fact she would be a non issue like Cindy Sheehan or Mitt Romney. Speaking of which, why isn't the media going after 2012  Republican presidential hopefuls like they do Sarah?

Think this is a rhetorical question? Then have a look at what Paul Begala had to say about Sarah:

Here is Matthew Littman's sexist comments in regards to Sarah Palin:

Folks, this is abject fear. Anyone, be it man or woman, who causes this sort of vitriolic behavior towards them can't characterize it as anything else.

Real classy stuff coming from "educated" people, isn't it?

Now they label her as a quitter and a lame duck after she stepped down as governor, because she felt that it was in Alaska taxpayer's best interest when fighting those unfounded ethics complaints.

I think the fear she is putting into these people is based largely on the possibility that she may make a run in 2012, particularly when there seems to be enablers, such as Newt Gingrich et al. What I mean is now that the 2008 presidential election campaign has came and went, what other reasons could there be? During her convention speech, she set the spark that rekindled the Conservative movement and this would surely be cause for concern as far as Obama getting another term goes.

And if Obama and his cronies keep going down the road they are currently on, then yes, I would say that the democrats have much to worry about in Sarah Palin.
