Yeah it was pretty awesome to see the reaction of the black community when Obama was elected. I didn't expect that to happen. I hope he succeeds while in office. The media made a big deal out of the Katie Couric anwser when it was nothing. Fumbled an anwser. So what? If it was Obama nobody from the liberal press would say anything. You could hear crickets. That's the real hypocrisy. No, it weren't her clothes. Still aren't. The big thing that has driven hatred towards her, in my opinion, was her being a woman and supporting the pro-life position. And her daughter didn't abort. And again, Obama says my family is off-limits, and that was okay. The same didn't apply to Palin, as we have seen. I don't know if you've seen the clip, but I've seen that Olbermann and a couple of others from MSNBC attacked it, which usually means it's honest & true. palin didn't notify the press that her family is off-limits. she did not ignore and refuse to respond to attacks on her family. in fact, she is still doing it - obviously. maybe she could learn a few tricks from obama. or maybe she's just using it as an excuse to extend her moment in the limelight. personally, i was offended by the exorbitant amounts of public money palin spent to 'look good', especially in light of her 'fiscal conservative' views. my knowledge of 'fiscal conservatives' over several decades is that they are conservative about taxing/spending on causes they don't care about, and liberal about taxing/spending on causes they do care about. don't forget, bush ran for office on the same 'fiscal conservative' platform, and he and his administration have run the american economy into the ground with what amounts to piracy. more hypocrisy. so i have reason to believe other liberals feel the same. you seem to think you're quite the expert on 'liberal psychology', but i think you might not know your subject as well as you think you do. if the liberal press is hypocritical for not publicly criticizing a liberal politician for mistakes, then the conservative press is equally hypocritical when they don't publicly criticize a conservative politician for mistakes. so what? big surprise. what does that prove or matter really? we all tend to help those we like and not help those we don't. it's only natural. you make it sound like liberal media people are somehow evil for doing this when it's what the political process is based on in the usa.

Bush did indeed spend money like a Democrat. Obama's gonna triple or quadruple that. I'm not knocking that - they have good intentions.
Oh give me a break - you have to notify the press that your family is off-limits? I'm sure MSNBC would have taken the advice. What a joke.
Actually what she's doing is ressurecting her public image that's been under attack ever since she gave her speech at the RNC.
I don't know where the $150.000 figure came out, but this was the McCain campaign running the show and buying stuff for her.
Ok, I'll just correct myself. It's not just the problem with the liberal media per se. The problem is with the far-left. Clinton, Obama they're fine. But once you go into the territory of the radicals, the far-right calling Obama the devil and the far-left comparing Bush to Nazi's (a la Soros) then you have a real problem.
The far-left is well funded and 'campaigned for' curtesy of Hollywood and Soros.
The economy is in a recession largley because of the whole loan business collapsing and the man largley responsible, Barney Frank blamed it on Bush too.

The economy is in a recession largley because of the whole loan business collapsing and the man largley responsible, Barney Frank blamed it on Bush too. bush was president while the national debt ballooned to its present proportions. i didn't say he is solely responsible, and most liberals are smart enuf to know that. he does, however, have to take his share of the responsibility, and he owns a big share imho. he was the leader of the country after all. you may not like it, but obama's approach to dealing with attacks on family has worked pretty well for him. so if palin REALLY wants to stop those attacks on her family, she might wanna take a leaf outta his book. personally, i suspect any politician in the limelight talking about ANYTHING of a negative nature self-promotion. it's widely known that airing personal laundry gets airtime and that's gold. that's why all the hollywood stars engage in the antics they do. like when angelina jolie smooched her own brother on camera for so long rumors started to fly about an incestuous relationship. what would appear to be a totally negative thing that nobody would want, actually increased her wealth and fame. this stuff goes on all the time. not getting work? phone stopped ringing? nobody asking for interviews? want to get back into the limelight? give the sensationalist press some dirt. works every time. politicians do this too. so call me a cynic. not sure how you can feel so sure her motives are so pure, but i'm not buying it. politicians these days, like hollywood stars, would rather be infamous than invisible. and if you keep talking about soros like that, i'm going to start suspecting you're really him and engaging in the very behavior i'm talking about.

Cynic. She is talking about how the corrupt media handled her and that is really serious in my opinion and it's something that should definitely be adressed. Yellow journalism is something else. And they too, btw have profited on Sarah Palin 'baby' stories and what not. The way I see it, she was used for profit, lies or no lies. They don't care.

If the treatment of Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton was sexist, I think it is because they were running against Obama. you have to understand one thing about American life: people would rather be seen as "sexist" than "racist.". For some reason, any criticism of Obama is somehow seen as racist. In the political correctness game, race trumps sex every time.

Yeah it only takes a far-left person like Janeane Garofalo to accuse all Tea Party protesters (who were protesting taxes and spending) of being racist, like she did on April 16th. And she also said and they're "all white for the most part, unless there's some people with Stockholm syndrome there." She was refering to black people. You know, it's the old: 'Call them an insult that's in the realm of possibility.' lol ;D But to be fair, this kind of intolerance and hatred is only on display on MSNBC for the most part, which nowdays attacks town hall people who don't like the proposed health-care reform. And if it's a black guy at these town halls, we'll just show his gun not his race, because it doesn't fit the MSNBC story.

I would like to share a quote from my coworker. For those that don't know I work in a bookstore.
"I believe that for every Sarah Palin book I sold today, somewhere a small child died...."
