In the last campaign, the Democrats and their cadre of spokesmen in the left-wing media were jealous of Sarah Palin’s good looks, her charisma and her relatively hefty political record. The crowd of the left-wing journalists instantly morphed into latter-day Nathaniel Hawthornes.
They spun a drooling web of fiction that was played bigger in the newspapers and on television than if President-to-be Obama had taken down bin Laden by himself instead of having had an assist from one member of Sen. Price’s We Are Victims list.
Who really gave birth to the Palin family’s special needs child, Trig? The leftist press promoted the line with its fists every day for months.
Mr. Obama, the racist agitator behind this heavily hyped drama, later ordered his media team to cook piping hot tales about the Palin family and guns, about Ms. Palin’s clothes, an alleged Mr. Palin affair, an alleged Ms. Palin affaior, about Ms. Palin’s lack of experience, about Ms. Palin shamefully earning a “C” one day in the seventh grade, about the Palin husband and wife shockingly having undergone an estimated two disagreements in their lengthy marriage, and a whole saddle full of scurrilous yarns about the Palins’ eldest daughter.
“Anything, boys,” President Obama said, “to keep the darned klieg lights away from my thin record.”
And Here Is the Payoff
The tactics worked for three reasons:
• Ms. Palin was singlehandedly converted into a hopelessly unelectable clown, a worldwide symbol of silliness, a campaign the Angry Left industriously was pumping until late last year when they still thought she might run against them.
• Palin-mania, as planned and orchestrated, discouraged all inquiries into the history of the late 40s Democrat who never seemed to have held a meaningful job that was available for even remote inspection, who billyclubbed his way to the nomination principally because he ran as a black liberal rather than merely a candidate.
• Finally, there was the most devious and brilliant single tactic in the 220-year history of American Presidential elections: With the cooperation of 99 percent of the living and dead media, the Obama camp ordained that any criticism of anyone named Obama was blood-dripping racism.
That is how we ended up with the laziest, least informed, least educated President since Millard Fillmore or Zach Taylor.
The above three icy skating surfaces remain thuggishly applicable today. The liberals again are riding their favorite hobby horse, jealousy of normal people. And so they have directed America’s liberal media to pound every day on the heads of Mr. Romney, especially his wife and sons, and their religion because, through hard work, they have earned more than the Dems favorite stooges, “poor people – We Are Victims.”
Wouldn’t it be dreadful to elect a Mormon President, the journalistic prostitutes boldly have asked, without fear of meaningful criticism?
Eschewing work, Swishy instead has devoted the last 3_ years to dividing the country into two distinct camps, the Normal people who work, and the anti-working Angry Left. Are you listening, Sen. Crybaby?
It has become the Sunday habit of Mr. Obama’s two main spewers of hate, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Titanic, to breathlessly steer all reporters away from President (Remind Me Again: What Am I Supposed to Believe?) Swishy. Until at least November, they must focus on Mr. Romney, whose life appears as ideal, sin-free and accomplished as Swishy’s is messy.
The last two Sundays, journalistic whores at both newspapers, hoping gangster-style racist intimidation still works, have roared into Anne Romney’s spotless private life. As Mr. Obama keeps slipping on banana peels and pleads “don’t mention my mediocre record,” reporters rummage desperately through her attic to find something scandalous to pin on her and appeal to the non-working Lordy, We Are Victims ne’er-do-wells on the Angry Left.
Tomorrow: Romney in Philadelphia.
