On July 29th, 2008, K. did a TV spot for CBS here in Chicago reacting to the announcement of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate. We’d been advocating Governor Palin as the ideal McCain VP choice for some time, and the McCain campaign in Illinois called K. up that morning and asked him to do a man-on-the-street reaction to the announcement, since he’d been studying Governor Palin and writing about her. After he did the spot, shortly before Governor Palin was introduced to America by McCain in Dayton, K. walked over to the big screen TVs in the square off Michigan Avenue where the NBC studio sits. There, he watched the Media coverage of Palin’s introduction with a crowd of Chicagoans.
K. remembers seeing Palin emerge and walk onto the stage, dressed in a sharp black suit, as the crowd in Ohio went wild.
In Chicago, the Liberals around him cringed, as that excitement and energy reverberated through the large screens and smacked them in the face.
K. will never forget two Liberal women, clutching each other, faces blanched, with true dread in their eyes.
“What are we going to do now? She’s incredible. He can win now, with her. What are we going to do?”.
“We need to destroy her. We need the media to destroy her”.
“They need to do their job. They need to destroy her”.
And try to destroy her the Media did.
Just like those two Chicago Libs wanted them…expected them…to do.
Conservatives4Palin has a great piece up today about the Journolist Archives and the record kept there of the national media conspiring together to attack Governor Palin, destroy her, and do whatever it took to secure a win for Obama the Lightbringer…including savaging infant Trig Palin, mocking his Down’s Syndome, and creating lies about his parentage.
It’s chilling seeing this in black and white right in front of you, even if, like us, you knew this was going on the whole time.
Chilling.

Here’s another list. It has 65 names on it.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/07/known_journolisters_1.html
July 22, 2010 at 9:36 am
Geez, Paul Krugman is on the list. I’m not surprised, but geez.
I’m ready to see the tv guys on there ….
Seriously, how moronic are these guys to use their own names? To actually identify themselves online. Do they not know that everyone in the whole world can see this crap?
I’m now back to being nauseous.
July 22, 2010 at 1:46 pm
I’m thinking it’s not ‘moronic’ as much as just pure arrogance. Remember, they OWN the media…or so they think.
July 22, 2010 at 2:33 pm
The left knows they own not just the liestream media but the major foundations that hand them billions of dollars annually, NGOs, academia, the schools public & private,labor union officialdom, the entertainment industry, the nation’s nation’s bureaucracies at all levels, and the publishing houses where they control the books we get to see and more importantly the content of textbooks for the schools primary through graduate level.
The left has been on a “Long March” in America since the 1840s and we are now at the precipice. I hope the nation’s plunge into the chasm of totalitarian big government can be preventd but at times I become more than a little pessimistic.On the side of optimism is the fact that the drive to the left has been halted many times in the past so history is on our side.
The left always tell us what we should support by whom they attack & malign.
Below are links to some vids and articles tracing the history of what we are up against when we oppose the leftist machine and its four corners of deceit.

My post got swallowed by the word press censors.
The enemies own not just the listream but education public & private, academia, the foundations with their billions that buy control & public compliance, the ngos, the entertainment industry.
The left has been on a ‘long march’ through society since the 1840s and we are now at the edge of the precipice that can plunge us into totalitarianism the left has so long wanted to impose. Below are links to videos that reveal the modus operandi of those we fight. They are must views and reads.

Why aren’t we taking down one by one the msm obot faux reporters? It’s time, they are the ones feeding the heads of senseless viewers to vote and support the socialistic agenda.
July 22, 2010 at 7:59 am
There is nothing the progressive liberals will not do. They have no moral line. That’s why it is so hard for people WITH morals to summon the guts to fight them. We do have lines we won’t cross.
But they HAVE crossed everybody’s line, now. Attacking Sarah as they do is to the point where anyone with brains can see what it is they are doing and it is wrong. It’s just evil. Even my liberal friends say it is too much. Refudiate was the second most popular Google search the other day for heaven sakes (I actually love that).
I believe the key is to turn this around on them and use their enthusiasm against them. It has become so ridiculous, their hatred, that it has made her ten times more popular and well known than she would have been otherwise. That we can use to our advantage. Each one of us can make a difference in our circle of friends. I see it working with mine.
July 22, 2010 at 8:31 am
Bev,
I agree with you. I see it working also.
When opressives start bashing Palin I have begun to advise them that they had really better get a grip. I say, “This is way beyond Palin. You are obsessed.” I tell them that it is an accepted mainstream fact that when someone has such a violent reaction towards someone it is because of some deep seated inadequacy they feel in themselves.
All the oppressive I know believe in the healing power of the shrink’s couch. Before they know what hit them I have them off their talking points and totally disarmed. They don’t know I cut their balls off until they reach in their pocket to get their car keys.

The “refudiate” thing is so ridiclous and laughable. Honestly, you can’t take this stuff seriously anymore.
Our Romney friend said this proves she is really dumb. We just laughed at him, and said, “this is nothing compared to 57 states.” He had no rebuttal. Really, these attacks are becoming so toothless in their nature and so absurd, it’s on par to crying wolf.
On a side note, if Romney people or other right of center folks who want to attack Palin, better stop taking their cues from the Left’s talking points. B/c they all sound like Obots/Leftists when they do, and it won’t work.
July 22, 2010 at 9:16 am
This was my thought, too PhillyCon. They are making a big deal of a bungled word pronunciation but didn’t say a damned thing about us having 57 states?
~Ten~
July 22, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Hey, PhillyCon, did you know that there really are “57 Muslim states” or countries?
I think that was an honest to God slip on Obama’s Muslim heritage part.
“The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organisation with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 member states..”

Buttered, I’ve often wondered about this myself.
July 22, 2010 at 8:31 pm
you got it, Buttered. No way that was a slip with regard to the US states – he just forgot who he was talking to . . . kinda like when he referred to his “muslim faith” in the Stephanopolous interview

What’s wrong with refudiate? It’s a perfectly cromulent word.
July 22, 2010 at 2:59 pm
HEY!
Making new English words was good enough for William Shakespeare, and if it was good enough for William Shakespeare, then Sarah just proved herself as smart as Will!
July 22, 2010 at 9:21 am
I’ve pretty much stopped the Palin attacks around me because I challenge them.
“She’s so stupid! She has no intelligence.”
“Can you give me an example of something stupid or unintelligent she has said?”
“Uhh … well she is.”
“Really? Okay, but what has she said or done to prove that?”
“Uhhhh ….” (crickets)
My dad, who was a big supporter of Hillary Clinton, stared at me like I’d grown a second head … but neither could he come up with an example.
The most frequent reply is, of course, “I can see Russia from my house.” I love when they say that because I get to point out their own stupidity … “Uh, Tina Fey said that on Saturday Night Live, not Sarah Palin.” :D
I don’t know if I’m changing minds and people are actually thinking about what they are saying or their opinions or if my “opponents” have just shut up around me. I do stop short of “How’s that hopey, changey thing working out for ya” …. unless they are really obnoxious. No one here is better off than they were two years ago.
July 22, 2010 at 11:26 am
Hey, them shutting up is a step in the right direction. At least they can’t just spew the lies ad nauseum anywhere other than in their MSM-mush heads.
July 22, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Haha! They really can’t handle it when you come back with the Tina Fey response! I’ve experienced this as well and the expressions on faces are priceless. I’m still amazed that so many people are so gullible to believe that Sarah uttered those words. Quite sad and pathetic really.
July 22, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Yeah they do become unhinged. I get the “yeah, but” defense, which usually starts with Bush caused all these problems. And I respond with, “assuming that is accurate, which it isn’t, Obama knew what the job was; he knew what the problems were and enumerated them; he promised to fix them. He’s passed Trillions of dollars of “laws” and are you better off? Are you still fearing losing your job? Your house? Paying more taxes when you don’t have enough to pay for little suzie’s college? He promised to fix the “problems”. You believed him. Has he fixed them? Or are they worse.” I either get “crickets” or I get a “real” conversation about how bad things really are.
July 22, 2010 at 7:17 pm
I hope you will all excuse me if this link has already been posted. I’m way behind in my reading today and this story has me ready to blow a gasket.
The article attributes some of these atrocious quotes by name to the ‘journalists’ who made them. The one that really makes my head fracture is where they refer to themselves as “Obama’s non-official campaign”.
http://dailycaller.com/2010/07/22/when-mccain-picked-palin-liberal-journalists-coordinated-the-best-line-of-attack/
July 22, 2010 at 8:05 am
As already stated, it’s not something we didn’t know, but confirmation is nice. I never understood the cry of inexperience with Sarah, when the Dem POTUS candidate has less than she when it came to government management.
I remember being very excited when Sarah was announced. It was a HUGE breath of fresh air for the RNC, until they began believing all the junk written about her.
July 22, 2010 at 8:09 am
I think it’s the phrase “NON-OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN” — the way these “journalists” describe themselves and their role — that is key. This is the phrase every person in America needs to hear and know about.
July 22, 2010 at 11:28 am
I agree. It’s one thing for a couple of buddies who happen to write for newspapers to get together to share drinks and talk about the day’s events. It’s another altogether for whole swaths of the media–print and TV to get together online to plot strategy for how to create a meme or destroy a meme or elect one candidate by quashing stories over another candidate who you plot which tactics of propaganda against them would work the best.
VERY DIFFERENT.
July 22, 2010 at 6:04 pm
Bingo Marion!! That’s what I picked up too. Astounding that they knew they were doing “unofficial” work for Obama and yet did it anyway, in secret, conspiring against the citizens. I’m having someone research whether what they did was not only unethical, but also against campaign regulations.
July 22, 2010 at 11:23 pm
I think I may just start referring to the MSM/LSM as Obama’s (or the Left’s) unofficial campaign staff. I mean, let’s just call them what they are and admit to being. He never stops campaigning, so it still fits.
July 22, 2010 at 8:25 am
I remember watching Chevy Chase on TV saying the exact words “Destroy her”. It made me sick and I will never, ever, EVER watch a movie or spend one dime on any celebrity who participated in it. I still won’t.
We need to target the news media AND Hollywood. These idiots need to know they have no business using their power to influence the American voters. They are no smarter or knowledgable than us. Quite the opposite…would you heed any advice given by Lindsay Lohan? That Ashton Kutcher guy tried to trash Bush for the environment and then it turns out he drives a freakin’ truck that gets 7 miles per gallon? Give me a BREAK!
July 22, 2010 at 8:44 am
The bashing isn’t over. The local rag here, the Oregonian, had a Sarah Palin bashing day the day before yesterday on its editorial page. What else can you expect from a paper that ran a drawing of the Dr. Utopia with a halo on those pages before the Demo convention exalted him to candidate?
July 22, 2010 at 9:35 am
So start calling up all the local businesses that run ads in the local fishwrap and explain your feelings. Don’t support them if they throw revenue $$ at the rag. Actions have consequences.
July 22, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Yup. That’s what I do all the time. You can’t make me give my money to someone who is trying to hurt me, my family, my friends, and my fellow citizens.
July 22, 2010 at 8:45 am
In the first Gulf war, when the USA and its allies liberated Kuwait from Saddam Hussein, I remember seeing footage of soldiers being greeted by news cameras as they “came ashore.” I remember distinctly the African-American CNN anchor (whose name escapes me although I have seen him 1,000 times) being on the top floor of a hotel, telling us where bombs were falling.
Some asked the media whether they were aiding and abetting Saddam Hussein by their coverage of the war. The media responded indignantly that they were doing their moral duty to cover the facts as they saw them. We heard this argument in the most recent war in Iraq, too.
Now we see documented proof that “moral duty” is completely out the window: Many in the media were intent in slamming Palin, digging up dirt that wasn’t there if they had to. And they were completely and utterly in Obama’s camp, promoting him, giving him as much good press as they possibly could.
July 22, 2010 at 10:58 am
True. But it begs the question: Why?
What did all those journalists and celebs have to gain by doing so? What motivated them? I’m serious. I need to know just how they benefitted from their efforts.
July 22, 2010 at 11:36 am
I think there is a stratagem of the Oppressives.
1) Top-tier power brokers. This would be Soros, et. al. who have nefarious reasons for doing what they are doing.
2) Second tier power brokers. This would be Obama, Pelosi, Reid, the Administration. These people are carrying out the plan as they see it to revise our society into what they think it should be.
3) The propaganda wing. Hollywood and the MSM. They have bought into the lies and the perceived coming of Utopia. They have taken on the job of getting the “correct message” out to the masses. (Some nefariously, others just thinking this could actually happen. These are the people the Russians referred as they transferred to Communism– useful idiots.)
4) The people on the streets. Some of these who have money honestly put their belief and trust in government. They think the government can do it with the money the government has (which of course was taken from someone else, but they don’t see this). These people have bought into the lie that the government cares (the lie of course that the government in 1, 2, and 3 does everything they can to promote as the truth.
5) Those who are oppressed, but see the government as THEIR savior. These would be people on welfare, the homeless, etc. People who need help and who trust the government to help them. These are the people that #4 and some of #3 think they are helping.
Then there’s the rest of us who see this and know it’s all a bunch of lies and fruitopia.
July 22, 2010 at 2:53 pm
PortiaElizabeth,
The liestream’s idiots are motivated by marrxism and hev bought the Frankfurt School’s modus operandi.
http://patdollard.com/2009/02/time-to-shit-your-pants/
July 22, 2010 at 6:11 pm
PortiaE – what motivates them is their politics – their ideology. They are acolytes to socialism. They are “believers”. Most don’t have a religion per se. They worship at the altar of oppression. They know that the citizens will not accept their ideology, so they will have to step up to the plate and force it on us…”for our own good”. They’ve been brainwashed by the universities that were taken over in the 70′s. You can’t get a job or keep a job as a professor unless you agree with them or you are a token celebrity [Condi Rice] to give them credibility.
July 22, 2010 at 9:04 am
What would have been of the McCain chances and the GOP and conservatives if Romney or Pawlenty or any of those boring men was the VP pick? Obama would still be in his 60% approval ratings now!
Sarah Palin has been the light we missed since 1988!
Nice to see Kevin on camera! at last!
July 22, 2010 at 9:07 am
My goodness what a mess they have made. Why does it look like it didn’t take much to do all this? I blame McCain too!!!!! She wanted to fight them every step of the way but the camp told her to shut up, WHY? Because they all really want the same thing, Rinos!!!! I can see NOVEMBER from my house :)
July 22, 2010 at 11:02 am
I was lucky enough to meet Senator McCain here in NH and I have to say in his defense that after listening to him I honestly believe that he chose the high road in his campaign because he knew that he would’ve been Hillaried if he’d tried to take on Obama with the dirt he knew. It was a no-win situation.
July 22, 2010 at 3:11 pm
Jann, I can smell November from my house.
July 22, 2010 at 6:15 pm
103 days, my friends, 103 days. I will crawl over broken glass to get to the polls and vote. If I feel I’m having a heart attack, the second call I will make [after 911] is to my neighbor to make sure I get an absentee ballot.
July 22, 2010 at 9:27 am
This whole thing makes me nauseous, physically sick to my stomach. If we do not have a free and honest press, our country is in serious trouble … well, which it is anyway because the dishonest press promoted a candidate who was not only unqualified but malicious in his intent.
Karma is a bitch. I hope every one of them is stripped of every award they were ever given and become the largest swatch of the unemployed and unemployable this country has ever seen.
July 22, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Ten,
A free press has never existed in the US from the get go. Until talk radio, cabletv, and the internet blogs came into existence the media were a cabal of agenda driven ideologues who were the gatekeepers of infornmation as was the Catholic Church before the invention & spread of the printing press.
Talk Radio and the blogosphere has exposed the corrupt gatekeepers of today and their leftist agenda as surely as the publication of Luther’s 95 Theses revealed the lies and corruption of the medieval church.
July 22, 2010 at 6:17 pm
Brilliant historical analogies Old One. I think I remember reading in one of your posts that you are/were a teacher. I hope it is history that you teach.
July 22, 2010 at 9:29 am
It is frightening to see such blatant tactics like hypocrisy and lies used by the left and their friends in the media.
The fact is that the liberals know the public is turning on them and so the left instinctively lies about their opponents.
I am grateful that you guys see it for what it is. I just hope the American public see it. Most people trying to keep their jobs just glance at what the MSM are saying and believe it.
July 22, 2010 at 9:35 am
Two quick points.
All the hate is on the left. Many of us have known that for a long time, now they have self-confessed it (see for example the Journolister’s wish to stand idly by while Limbaugh has a fatal heart attack).
Many Journolistas are in serious legal jeopardy from postings on that listserv, since their own writings can very likely prove actual malice for what they may have later published or said that is libelous/slanderous. I hope conservatives in the public sphere go after them personally, as well as whomever published them (Time, Wash Post, MSNBC, we all know the water-carrying media outlets).
July 22, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Ooooooo. I never thought of the malice “with aforethought” angle. How much fun would it be to file a class action suit for all the voters who feel that they interfered with our civil right to choose a candidate by conspiring to trash one of them. They’d laugh it off at first, until the lawyers tell them how much money it will cost them. And I’m talking about the entities they work for…not only the “journolistas”. Love that term and I’m going to borrow it.
July 22, 2010 at 10:02 am
Its Sarah. Please spell her name correctly when attacking her intelligence, then you wouldn’t look like such a fool.
July 22, 2010 at 11:26 am
correction – It’s Sarah…………

I WAS wondering PhillyCon. Thankfully deleted indeed!!
July 22, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Thanks for clarifying. Remember – it’s ok to talk to yourself as long as you don’t answer ;)
July 22, 2010 at 5:35 pm
But if you answer, it may turn out to be a very interesting conversation!
July 22, 2010 at 10:04 am
I believed from the beginning that this was absolutely top-down co-ordinated, and was called paranoid by everyone. Now we have proof, and this is just one “listserve”–there are more out there.
Now for the new level of paranoia–these are paid operatives. I believe they got cash from the Soros corner every step of the way.
A money trail is even better than an bias trail. Somehow, we’ll find it, and show how little creeps on Kos, et al, get a little credit to their bank accounts every time they go invade conservative forums and try to sow chaos.
July 22, 2010 at 10:32 am
Also, these little goons wanted “access” to Teh One. Destroy the opposition, praise the Messiah and get an invite to a Club 1600 event.
Everyone of them should be fired and/or lose their blogs. Then maybe we can have a media as it was designed to be … to inform the people. And yes, a congressional investigation….follow the money :D
July 22, 2010 at 3:12 pm
Surely today’s left is funded by Soros as was their 1960s counterparts. Documents now available from Soviet & KGB archives have proved the Soviets financed the 1960s anti-war movement and the Venona Paers expose confirmed that the people Senator Mc Carthy named as Soviet agents were indded Soviet hires.
Those the international left hate, villyify, and opposes are those to whom we should listen. Those people who the presstitute agents left defend, tout, and puff are our enemmies (the soggy sandwich cucumber & mayonaissse repubicans).
The left is 100% self-revelatory. It always rallies to its own evil peopleand its useful idiots and fires the ferocity of its propaganda machine at those who are right.
July 22, 2010 at 10:16 am
Dear Hillbuzz Proofreader,
Regarding the spelling of Trig Palin’s disability or any other, please observe: Use the apostrophe-S if the affliction is named after someone who had it. Leave off the apostrophe-S if it is named after who discovered it. For example:
* Lou Gehrig’s disease named after the patient it was diagnosed in.
* Down Syndrome named after the English physician John Langdon Down who characterized the condition, but did not have it.
o Let’s use it in a sentence, shall we. — “From the VA, 1200 US veterans recently found out they were mistakenly told they had life threatening Lou Gehrig’s Disease. …But, Obamacare will be different. Really.”

Lou Gehrig’s disease is named after the patient in whom it was diagnosed.
La-di-da.

Beautiful

While it is true that the “correct” term is Down Syndrome for the reasons you cite – for YEARS most people used Down’s Syndrome.

FeFe …. clearly you are a person of staggering intellect. I am humbled by your ability to correct spelling and syntax on a discussion board and provide an internet link as supporting evidence.
Wow. I’m so … uh … underwhelmed.
July 22, 2010 at 11:31 am
Well what is the chance that mainstream media is going to pick up on this story?? I want those who participated in this…drawn and quartered…LOL!not really, but at least publically humiliated!
July 22, 2010 at 3:22 pm
How about publicly canned?
July 22, 2010 at 6:23 pm
Yes, Buttered. I think we should start with one of the big jerks, Klein at Time Mag. Keep calling and writing Time magazine and demand that they fire him. Otherwise it will be assumed that the editors and management knew about the conspiracy.
July 22, 2010 at 11:33 am
Oh I just love the punctuation/spelling police…don’t you?
July 22, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Especially when their little “lesson” contains errors.
Look FeFe, readers come to this blog for content. While comments are welcome, the supercilious need not apply.
July 22, 2010 at 3:38 pm
I suspect Fe Fe, a handle I do not recognize is likely a troll. As an afficionado of this site for 2 years I suspect Fe Fe is a newly arived Soros paid troll. One must remember the mindset of the left loons that those of us who do not buy the Oblabla kool-aid are knuckle dragging ignorant white trash racist rednecks who need to be schooled.
Troll Alert! One knows a blog has gone big time when the media matter Soros tools arrive.
July 22, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Old One, I’m sure you are correct. As these Soro’s funded trolls tend to be basement dwellers with limited access to the fresh air needed for good brain function, in addition to the earlier correction to FeFe’s grammar, I’ll provide this link:

Get the initial list of JournoListers from the American Thinker.
Then, start searching for matches at OpenSecrets.org or some similar site.
We might find some good nuggets here to strengthen our case against them.
I’m tempted. Who’s with me?
July 22, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Good idea!

The most telling line in the entire article is the last one:
“That was all on the day of the announcement.”
In other words, the very day that McCain announced Palin as his running mate, these PRAVDA acolytes did not band together to investigate more about Palin’s record or her views. No, they immediately set about figuring out how to destroy her so that Obama would win.

Oh, and this blogger has helpfully compiled a list of the media outlets that are reporting on the scandal. Or not:

Remember all that talk about a “vast right-wing conspiracy”? Never did see any proof of that.
But we now have proof of a vast LEFT-wing conspiracy!

To paraphrase Will Rogers,

Whatever words flow from the libs and leftist count on the fact that the opposite of what they say is the truth. Standing opposite the statement from the left will alway be proven correct.
July 22, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Boyz, thanks for posting that video with Kevin’s interview–lookin’ hunky in his Dems for McCain t-shirt, I might add! And as usual, very well-spoken, concise and on-target.

That’s the longest winded bull crap I’ve heard since this started. I would be willing to bet the “caller” has more and if he’s smart, he’ll drip it out – day by day. That list-serve must be quite a minefield.
July 22, 2010 at 5:14 pm
Looks like I missed all of the fun. : D
Seriously buzzers, what is the only thing that the Gov’t has not taken over? Wait for it…the MEDIA. Might this be their justification for taking over the MEDIA now? I cannot believe I just said that. What is happening to our Country? To those who pray, please pray. To those who send good thoughts, please send good thoughts. America needs all the help she can get at this moment in time.
July 22, 2010 at 6:47 pm
Well, it is now official. The media conspired to take down Palin right from the first day. They succeeded. They were unnerved by the public’s reaction to her and had to “do” something to change that. The “journ-o-list” archives are proving to be quite a boon to the conspiratorial dirty tricks the media played in 2008 – mostly pretending to be neutral and then conspiring to gin up talking points to destroy Hillary and then Palin. Mention of what they call the “non-official” Obama campaign reeks of their knowledge of assistance that was not reported to the FEC because any assistance to advocate for a campaign/candidate must be reported. And I think someone should report to the FEC what these people did because clearly they were advocating – no difference than if they were one of those political action committees and ran a negative ad against her. Except it was illegal to do that without reporting it and unethical to conspire to do it while pretending to “report” the news.
July 24, 2010 at 2:55 pm
Who among Americans are more stupid? Those who voted for the Palin (the dumb as described by liberals and pundits) or those who voted for Obama, the candidate who cannot prove until now that he was natural born in the United States?? Bwahahahahaha!! There are so many intellectual Americans working in the media that were fooled by Obama and his Muslim cohorts.. Just imagine, 55% of employees in CNN are foreigners and most of them from Mid-east and Africa particularly from Kenya. Americans, we got shits in our head now!!!
