Sarah Palin Speaks, And sends a clear message: The campaign has just begun

Published by Karl under McCain, Palin, Uncategorized

She nailed it.  From start to finish, and all points in between, Sarah just knocked it out of the park.  Period.

Transcript here

Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the United States…

I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America.

I accept the challenge of a tough fight in this election… against confident opponents … at a crucial hour for our country.

And I accept the privilege of serving with a man who has come through much harder missions … and met far graver challenges … and knows how tough fights are won - the next president of the United States, John S. McCain.

It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the country he loves.

With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost - there was no hope for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war.

But the pollsters and pundits overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off.

They overlooked the caliber of the man himself - the determination, resolve, and sheer guts of Senator John McCain. The voters knew better.

And maybe that’s because they realize there is a time for politics and a time for leadership … a time to campaign and a time to put our country first.

Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by.

He’s a man who wore the uniform of this country for 22 years, and refused to break faith with those troops in Iraq who have now brought victory within sight.

Megyn Kelly Slams US Weekly Editor

Published by Karl under MSM, Palin, election 2008, obama

I am sure this will be followed with more claims of Foxes bias, but this is classic.

Megyn Kelly of Fox News was interviewing the editor of US weekly, and she owned him.  Pure and simple.

The story revolves around the US weekly cover of Sarah Palin, below:

As you can see, the picture has a pretty clear message.

The problems came when people compared it to the cover below from June:

The contrast is obvious.  The Obama’s get a fluff piece on how wonderful they are, whereas Sarah is portrayed alone, and her article is a rundown of any juicy rumor then can find.  Perhaps the fact that US Weekly is owned by the people who own Rolling Stone, who love Obama almost to the point of deification had some impact:

What a noble halo you have, Mr Obama.  Can there be any doubt these two magazines are in the tank for Obama?

Well, Megyn called the editor on it.  After you enjoy this clip, see below for the magazine cover US weekly should have run…

Here is the story they had 10+ months to run, but they chose not to…
