McCain's VP:

@Berger,

Who is denigrating Palin and how? Names, quotes, and what office they are running for please. Saying "the democrats" is mere assertion and otherwise ignorable.

Her record has to speak for itself. So does McCain's.

Consider the definition of "denigrate".
minimize: cause to seem less serious; (PTA references and small town mayor experience) play down; (her experience)" charge falsely or with malicious intent;(her Down baby is her daugher's) attack the good name and reputation of someone; (troopergate)

Criticise so as to besmirch; traduce, disparage, or defame; Treat as worthless; belittle, degrade, or disparage; Blacken (Read Debra Law's posts)

Troopergate is an investigation started by the Republican legislature in AK. It has nothing to do with the Democrats at all.

The Obama campaign has every right to downplay her experience; that's politics. As for the personal matters, I think you'll find that the Obama campaign has not engaged in any sort of discussion of them whatsoever.

As for posters on an internet bulletin board, I have one response: so what? Bush is an idiot, McCain sold his soul to get the Repubulican nomination and Palin is an airhead who can't face the press for fear of embarrassing herself. There's nothing wrong with anyone holding any of these opinions.

The McCain camp has charged that it is Obama doing all these things; this is a false charge and that's why it has been mostly met with more denigrating of their campaign.

Hey Okie; when did you become a fool? Because statements like this are foolish.

There's no denigration there; truth hurts.

Denying that some posts here meet the definition does not make your case.

You don't think the media is not vested big time into Obama? I hope you have enough brains and honesty to see that?

What are you saying, okie? Vested big time? Does that mean when Obama takes office, Obama & Company will divert a trillion dollars of taxpayer funds into the pockets of the media?

okie, In that respect, McCain would have been a better choice. They're the party of spending big bucks for nefarious reasons.

@Debra Law,

Who knows, Debra, what Obama will do? I would not trust him any further than I can throw him, and thats not far. Probably one of many many initiatives would be to bring back a new version of the fairness doctrine, which the main media would love, to hopefully salvage their power and revenues. They are scoundrels, and lower than the low, in their reporting. True journalism has died in this election cycle. There is no fair and honest reporting, none.

The media is vested in anything sensational enough to draw eyeballs and thus advertising. Period.

@DrewDad,

Palin and McCain really stepped in it today, barring reporters from her meeting with Karzai. The reporters revolted and started shouting at Steve Schmidt, who relented, and let CNN's producer/reporter in... for 29 seconds.

They are going to lose if they pick a fight with the media.

@Cycloptichorn,

The McCain campaign made it clear in advance that Palin's scheduled three days at the UN--so she can rub elbows with world leaders and bone up her non-existent foreign policy resume--is a "photo-op" ONLY event--and that the media will NOT be allowed to ask questions.

Thus, the McCain campaign is again accentuating Palin's ignorance and inability to answer simple questions. Her resume is growing: She can see Russia from Alaska, and she can pose in a picture with a foreign diplomat.

The media is not remaining silent while the McCain campaign continues to shield the ignorant extremist Palin from public scrutiny.

@Cycloptichorn,

I wouldn't let them in either, the traitors.

@okie,

You're a moron, Okie. The media are certainly not 'traitors,' a term which has a very real definition. You just don't like what they report, because it doesn't help your side. Trust me, there have been plenty of times this campaign when I was pissed at the media...

I think you're just lashing out in frustration, that McCain's campaign has been flailing so badly these last two weeks.

Mainstream media news outlets are starting to drag out Palin's dirty dealings for public scrutiny:

Newsweek:

Quote:

Warned by the Court

A judge repeatedly told Palin and family not to badmouth her sister's ex

* * *
As the divorce case dragged on, the judge's concern about family "disparagement" appeared to deepen. In an order signed Jan. 31, 2006, which granted Palin's sister and Wooten a final divorce decree, Judge Suddock continued to express concern about attacks by Palin's family on Wooten. The judge even threatened to curb Palin's sister's child custody rights if family criticism of Wooten continued.

@Debra Law,

You don't seriously use Newsweek as a balanced source of news I hope, Debra?

@okie,

I wonder if Newsweek is running headlines on the Democrat hacker that hacked into Palin's email? Maybe they could get some flattering pictures of the guy to run on their next cover, with the headline saying "Democrat Operative"? I would love that.
