The Case Against Sarah Palin

Sarah Louise Heath PalinA privileged White American, who has not shared the black American experience, a 20 year member of a church with a history of preaching hate, a woman whose upbringing and associations separates her from any understanding of the struggles of middle America, much less the poor, a woman who began her political career by associating with and maintaining alliances with domestic terrorists, and whose dealings have a direct tie with the current financial crisis. A woman who has accomplished nothing while holding government office and whose only political attraction seems to be her poise and appearance, a woman completely unqualified to be a heartbeat away from the highest office in this land.

Many people would read that above paragraph and nod their head in complete agreement. The only problem is, where Sarah Palin is concerned, none of it is true. Every one of those attributes can be laid at the feet of Barrack Hussein Obama. All I did was change the association to make a point. If all of that baggage did exist in Palin’s closet, we would see it plastered across the media in every possible form 24 hours a day. The same news anchors who either wink at Obama’s past or ignore it completely, would be howling for Palin’s blood. A “Palin Watch” would be established and Dan Rather would be resurrected to report on the impending indictment. Every one in Wasilla City, Alaska right down to the town drunk would be interviewed ad nauseum in the search for more dirt on the “most dangerous woman in the world”. But, you hand that baggage to a young black man with a D next to his name and it could not be more inconsequential.

Isn’t it wonderful that we live in a country with such an objective media?
