This is what set me off today:
Palin, Tea Party Express hit chord in Hub
It starts out fairly even-handed. I was mildly surprised - I mean, this is Pravda on the Charles, after all. And then I read this:
The event drew three busloads of performers from the national Tea Party Express as well as activists from around the region and as far away as Texas. Many toted signs reading, “I am not a racist. I just disagree politically,’’ and, evoking the former Alaska governor’s quote about her state’s proximity to Russia, “We can see November from our House.’’LIE. Bald-faced, pure, unadulterated lie.
That was Tina Fey's line as she portrayed Palin on Saturday Night Live, a show that hasn't been relevant or funny since the late 1970s. This is exactly the same thing that they did to Dan Quayle with the "if I knew I was going to Latin America I would have studied Latin in high school". They took something uttered completely in jest by a junior staffer and saddled Quayle with it for his entire career. They destroyed a man's reputation based on lies and obfuscations, and they're doing it again to Sarah Palin.
Why does the media fear Sarah Palin so much?
That is all.

Why does the media fear Sarah Palin so much?
Because they know that she resonates with at least 25% of the population.
Because she is a college graduate, she was elected a council member, mayor, governor and was vice presidential candidate. She hunts, fishes enjoys the outdoors, is seen enjoying and being with her family and speaks as she sees the world and what is happening, no holds barred. And she has done it on her own.
And the leftist media cannot find a single leftist feminist whom has done anything close to what Palin has done. And we know it and they know it!
Because she's competent and not an amiable loser like media approved John McCain.
Every competent Republican is an idiot.
Ronnie Raygun, W and Palin are just the best examples.
When our media betters feel threatened, they viciously attack.
Liberals quote SNL 'cause they can't tell the difference between reality and fiction. They lie so much that truth & TV skits blur into one continuous flow of "facts."
Reasoned discourse and rational thinking are as alien to the Left as physical labor is to Barney Frank. Someone with a PhD in "Wyman's Studies" is less prepared for life in the real world than my Grandmother Smith who lived a full, productive life with only a 4th Grade education.
Because she's a female capable of independent thoughts, and those who can think for themselves and disagree with the media are considered dangerous?
Because she represents an unknown.
The media can manage the usual Democratic/Republican exchange. They are used to framing the candidates, the issues, and the outcomes into tidy columns of print.
This is unmanaged, unscripted, grassroots, and from the point of view of the MSM, terrifying. She, individually, isn't as important as the movement itself. But since she's a symbol and a speaker, they attack her as way to try to quash the whole thing.
SNL's latest: Tying Mrs. Palin to the end of the world in 2012.

I'd pay good money to be in the press booth if she did ask Glenn Beck to be her running mate. Watching all the heads explode would be delightful.
Hey, Stretch...that's "Wymmynz Studies!" "Wyman's Studies" is like so patriarchal and male-dominated-linear-thinking and phallocentric and stuff. You'd better start using the Politically Correct terminology or we'll hold a protest march! And then a candlelight vigil! That'll show you!
The media fears our 'Saracuda' for the same reason many in the increasingly irrelevant RNC do. They're frightened that we might actually get back to the foundations of America. This means that the RNC will lose 90% of their power. This means that the LSM might have to report, accurately, on things that actually matter, since people will be far more concerned with living their lives and getting ahead than viewing the latest exploits of some brain-dead celebrities.
People with power fear those who might make them lose it. (Also, she's smarter than 99% of those who want to destroy her. Pseudo-intellectuals hate being upstaged.)
