Sarah Palin on Ron Paul Media Blackout, CBS Debate
H/T LambdaChi.org
The Democrat-Controlled-Media’s bias against GOP candidates who can beat Barack Hussein Obama is getting more apparent every day.
The most blatant recent example was the CBS/National Journal debate in South Carolina, where GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul was allowed to speak for only 89 seconds during the televised hour of the debate, receiving just one question. And Michelle Bachmann’s campaign was inadvertently copied on an email from CBS “News” prior to the debate, in which CBS “News” Political Director John Dickerson admitted that Michelle Bachmann “is not going to get many questions” in the debate (though she did get far more time than GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul).
This effort at media manipulation was so transparent that it became a story unto itself. The best exposé was probably this editorial in the New York Sun.
“A controversy has erupted over the fact that in the CBS debate on foreign policy Congressman Ron Paul got only 90 seconds….We’re not with Dr. Paul on all of his liberty campaign; as a general matter, he’s far too loath to levy the war on terror. But we have covered him on and off for more than 30 years and have come, even when we disagree with him, to respect him, particularly for his tendency to reach deep into the Constitution. He has done this on foreign policy in several important ways, starting with a bill he introduced in Congress within days of the outbreak of the war that erupted on September 11, 2001.
The bill was the first bid in generations to unleash one of the most important of the constitutional war powers, the letter of marque and reprisal, which is an instrument for bringing private parties into the war. The thinking that went into Dr. Paul’s bill deserves a hearing in any debate in which the GOP contenders are going to be grilled on foreign policy….”
The media blackout was even the topic of discussion the next morning on Fox News:
In an appearance with Greta van Susteren on Fox News, GOP Frontrunner Sarah Palin notes that Ron Paul, Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum have all been the subject of media blackouts. And she also encourages GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul to keep educating Americans about economic issues:
I have a fantasy that involves Sarah Palin running as Ron Paul’s VP…because the Democrat-Controlled media would tear itself apart in an effort to destroy the ticket.
On the one hand, the Democrat-Controlled Media’s strategy to marginalize Ron Paul’s campaign demands that they downplay the huge crowds he draws at events, the fact that GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul is polling in the top 2 in Iowa and New Hampshire, the constant wins at straw polls, the fact that he’s #3 in fundraising among GOP candidates, and the #1 recipient of donations from active duty military.
However, we all know that the Democrat-Controlled Media is obsessively fascinated with Sarah Palin (remember the bus tour?), and is bent on destroying her. How could they give Sarah Palin enough coverage to destroy her, on the one hand, while simultaneously maintaining radio silence about the top of the ticket on the other?
The more I think about it, the more I love the idea of a Ron Paul/Sarah Palin ticket…

Time to SUE CBS out of business. A sexual discrimination would be good starting lawsuit.
The MSM wants Romney or Huntsman, that much is plain to see. But if the Tea Party's influence is like it was last year it ain't gonna happen. While I'm no fan of Ron Paul, he is far more attractive to me than either of those two RINOs. And if he's the GOP nominee I will vote for him enthusiastically. At least when it comes to taking the deficit bull by the horns I expect he will do what has to be done.
Smile. I have to agree with : "The more I think about it, the more I love the idea of a Ron Paul/Sarah Palin ticket…"
Can you imagine a Paul/Palin ticket? There are no two people in this election cycle who have more PASSIONATE support than those two. It would be awesome to see and I would gladly support that ticket. The work the two could accomplish would be breath taking.
No thank you to a Paul Presidency. The guy is an isolationist and has said in the past that Pres. Bush should be brought up on criminal charges. The man is a loon. I want him no where close to the WH . . . ever.
Paul is living in a Turtle boat world but Sarah just might be the ONLY VP (hawk) that could bring him around……. maybe with some kimchi and a glass of soju (lol) i personally like RAND much better than the father! he'd be a great Senate Majority Leader (jmo) I still want SARAH!!!! as CIC (maybe newt will pick her? or I'm afraid he'll pick Michelle or worse Romulous)
didn't they already do that in 08? attacked palin relentlessly while they maintained silence about mccain? as well as boosted obamao's rock star image and made him infallible? no thank you- sarah on the top of the ticket please.
I too have wondered who Ron Paul would choose for v.p. if he won the primary. I don't think he would choose any of the other rep. candidates. So who does that leave? Perhaps Sarah Palin.
Michele Bachmann has the same record of voting aginst both Bush and Obama bailouts but she supported the Patriot act which is very contrary to Paul's convictions. Palin has had much exposure to Israel and the Rothchilds though Lady Lynn di Rothchild who left the DNC steering committe to support democrats for McCain Palin. It might be that Palin refuses to be lured into the bankers inner circle and for that reason decided not to run for president. But as Paul's v.p. that could be a powerful blow to the corporate statism that has replaced our democracy.
RP will select someone other than the current candidates.
Wouldn't it be funny if he chose Rand
I would not like it if he chose his son Rand. Enough already with Washington dynasties-Bushes Clintons-thier loyalties are to themselves and themselves alone!
It may be too late for Sarahcuda to launch a presidential campaign–Iowa is 7 weeks away, and she has missed the filing deadline to participate in New Hampshire.
But that doesn't stop her from accepting a "running mate" gig.
