The Day I Met Sarah Palin and the Liberal Media

Red, White and Conservative "In one day I met a role model, and met the liberal media and their crafty schemes. I fell prey to liberal bias, but I’d like to think I did an okay job. We always want do-overs, and I can assure you if I had a do-over with Miss O’Donnell you’d see a much more prepared (well rested) and ready to go at it side of this 17 year old. But unlike Norah I didnt have my note cards with me. I was forced to think on the spot and answer a gotcha question. Her goal was clear, make this teenager look like an uneducated Palin supporting buffoon."

Excused Horrors

By Walter E. Williams "Professor Kors asks why are the horrors of Nazism so well known and widely condemned, but not those of socialism and communism? For decades after World War II, people have hunted down and sought punishment for Nazi murderers. How much hunting down and seeking punishment for Stalinist and Maoist murderers? In Europe, especially Germany, hoisting the swastika-emblazoned Nazi flag is a crime. It’s acceptable to hoist and march under a flag emblazoned with the former USSR’s hammer and sickle."

Palin's Pro-Israel Positions are a Michaya

Atlas Shrugs ""Palin supports the Jewish homeland against Islamic jihad and has been consistent on this. Here and here and here ....I have many links.
