#1 it's clear that Governor Palin and her family are in for a nasty ride. The leftist political-media complex will go all-out to destroy her as long as attacking her deflects attention from the radical leftist at the head of the Democratic ticket...

We're all in for a nasty ride, not just the Palins.

#2 Obviously Obama would like to keep Palin at the center of media focus.

Which only will create a "Obama who?" situation by November. Wait till they start getting the message that the public perception is that its a Obama-Palin race which clearly means the one person with experience and calm is McCain. The O'team identified the threat to their candidacy but they've responded disproportionately in resources and focus. In a difference parlance, it's known as a soak off attack, drawing the opposition's needed resources from the main effort. You go O. Keep slinging, keep throwing your fanatics and sycophants into the fight. Show us what the real O'world will look like. [This is not going to make those bible thumping end timers any more comfortable. Heh]

#3 "McCain may yet come out OK if public disgust with scummy media partisanship generates a backlash"

That backlash is already forming in mom-n-pop, small-town and middle class America.

The urban hipster doofus elites who are spreading this alsong with their allies in the MSM also include their typical sneeering looking downon middle class peopel and middle class values.

The backlash is coming, and the more the press does this elitists partisan crap, the more the press will be the target, and if they keep this up, there will be violence.

Right now there are people that are so furious they are talking about "when the day comes they will hang the press elites from the ceilings of their offices or shoot them down in the streets"

The partisanship of the mainstream press is shredding the very foundation of democracy in this country, with its deliberate mis-informaing of the population, and its support and pushing of radical fringe agenda.

Me, I just want Soros dead. His money has been the seed behind much of this corruption. Hurry up and die you evil bastard (and if things do fall apart, some people are likely to speed up the day of his demise with bullets or bombs).

Wouldn't help. He's the most visible but he's far from the only one of his kind.

#5 This is the best explanation I've seen yet for the events of the last few days. "The distributed Obama campaign - including the Obama organization, leftist bloggers and MSM" deserves to become the next big meme of this political season.

The media's assault on Palin reminds me of WW2-era Soviet Army tactics (appropriate considering most MSMers' politics): line up the artillery hub to hub and start firing without much regard to accuracy. Even if individual rounds don't hit important targets, the smoke, noise and whizzing shrapnel will keep the adversary's head down.

Now the next question...what's going to be the Distributed Obama Campaign's equivalent of a Guards Tank Army exploiting the breakthrough?

#6 Moderator note:

We don't wish other Americans dead, not even Soros. I'm not redacting the comment because I think the expression was a rhetorical one, but let's not do it again.

AoS

#7 Soros dead would just mean that all his money would go toward his favourite Progressive groups instead of just some of it. You've heard of the Wills & Trusts section of the law school curriculum, Percy Crainter4524 dear? Right now he needs most of his funds to go swanning around the world impressing the international Progressive elites, as they all like to think of themselves... not to mention a reserve to take down the currency of the next nation that catches his rapacious eye.

I'd rather dear Mr. Soros live long enough to see all his efforts and his money spent in vain, as those he hates take over. After all, how frustrated must he be, after three elections where his causes lost instead of gained? Y'all remember the millions marching against the invasion of Iraq in 2003, versus the few hundreds and paltry thousands that marched recently? As I recall, Cindy Sheehan couldn't even collect enough signatures to get on the electoral ballot -- she wanted to replace Representative Nancy Pelosi, poor thing.

#8 Percy et al --

our new slogan:

"vote McCain/Palin -- stick it to The Man"
(The Man being G.S.)
