Liberals can't tell snarl from snark

The woman they love to hate. This piece by a female, liberal journalist [Hillary Chabot] shows what we can expect from the media.

"A feisty Sarah Palin charged straight at Barack Obama last night as the virtually unknown governor of Alaska transformed herself into John McCain’s snarling campaign pit bull last night before cheering delegates and the eyes of the nation at the Republican convention."

I watched the whole speech. She was charming and direct; she pulled no punches; she built on the jokes told by Giuliani and Huckabee, both entertaining speakers. And worst of all for liberals, socialists and marxists, she told the truth. She smacked back at Obama's staff and his allies in the media unkind, belittling remarks about her town, her experience and her state. She put the MSM on notice that they weren't going to tell her what to do because she wasn't going through that sorority pledging process, or show up at their parties, so they could just go find some other gal who cared. Oooo, that must have smarted. This was no snarl, but it was the truth told with a smile and a sparkle in her eye.

This [Barack Obama] is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word “victory” except when he’s talking about his own campaign,” the combative Palin said.

“But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed, when the roar of the crowd fades away, when the stadium lights go out and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet?

“The answer is to make government bigger, take more of your money, give you more orders from Washington and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy, our opponent is against producing it. Victory in Iraq is finally in sight, he wants to forfeit.”

Here's a good example of the press misstating and misinformation:

"She leaned heavily on her own biography, introducing her husband, Todd, as a commercial fisherman, a union member, a world-champion snowmobile racer and an Eskimo. She described herself as a mom-turned-politician with the "same challenges and the same joys" as other families." WaPo

She specifically said his heritage was Yup'ik, not Eskimo (Todd Palin's grandmother), at least to my ears, and called her husband a snow machine champion. Maybe those are little slip ups, maybe not. The news is all about slant.

Snarls are for Jeremiah Wright; attacks are for Bill Ayers and the Weathermen. Governor Palin is just a sweet little lady with a lace glove across the face when the big boys get too close compared to Obama's friends and mentors. But sometimes the truth hurts.
