Sarah Palin Faithful Launch Voodoo Attack on Katie Couric
The Secret Service — pledged to protect the lives of Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin — might need to assign some agents to Katie Couric.
Or maybe to the media in general, given the reception they're getting at Palin rallies. As the Washington Post's Dana Milbank reports…
Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse.
Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."
Attacking the traveling press pool to punish Couric is consistent with the "guilt by association" espoused by Palin in her endless "Barack Obama = Bill Ayers" cry from the stump. It's also consistent with the GOP's longstanding love of voodoo.
But why stop with the media? If Palin fanatics want another group of people to collectively hate, they might turn their gaze to police officers.
As you might have heard, one of their ilk has been giving Palin even more trouble than Katie Couric.

At last a Vice Presidential candidate willing to incite mob violence. She isn't just Joe 6pack. She's Joe KeggerAngryDrunk.
These are the kinds of leadership skills we need, today. Who doesn't want a leader who can whip a crowd into an angry, hate-filled frenzy? McCain certainly seems to enjoy the frothy "Terrorist! Kill him!" kind of battle cry. That's just the kind of anger and hate we'll need in order to take on the vexing issues of a failed banking system, a frozen economy, millions of out of work and displaced citizens, two never-ending wars on the other side of the planet, and the spectre of unceasing terrorist activity directed at us and our allies.
Oh, did you think of that one all by yourself bearness?? Do you feel better that you posted this? Now everyone knows how funny and witty bearness is. Get a life.
and they have the audacity to call themselves the MORAL majority. intolerance and ignorance should be their new slogan.
If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, then the Democrats will stop telling the truth about them.
quoting Adlai Stevenson (was he a man ahead of his time … or do some things just never change?)
re: Joe Sixpack comments … Sarah's ability to relate to 'joe sixpack' underscore her understanding and expertise in the global economy … after all, didnt the Belgians just buy Budweiser?
