• Palin approval rating in Alaska no longer 80% it is 68%
McClatchy reports today that her approval rating in her home state has tumbled to 68% -- still high but surely not the country's best. The poll by a local firm that works for both parties was taken Sept. 20-22.

The above was posted on Salon by a rabid Palin hater, Uncle Fester.

I occasionally visit the reader postings of web sites to take the temperature of one camp or another. I want to thank Uncle Fester for bringing this to my attention. It is too sad that he thought he was smearing Palin by posting it. Rather…. It is wonderful! Just gall-dang wonderful as an exemplar of how the press inflicts fatal blows to female candidates.
It is …
Proof Positive that the Media inflicts violence upon women candidates by a sustained pile-on of besmirchment {sic, but the word really works!}

Up until the media told us all over.. and over.. and over.. and over.. again what a dolt, sinner, adulterous, contriving, ambitious, book-burning, vicious Bitch Palin is-- (and by the way, Salon—titling a piece of yours “MEAN Girl,” is the same as titling it “Bitch Palin. And btw, does Girl for Palin mean that msm will soon use Boy when talking about Obama?? Thought not!)--Palin had an 80 % approval rating in Alaska by her constitutes.

LET ME REPEAT THIS: UNTIL THE MEDIA SAVAGED PALIN, SMEARING HER DAILY, SHE HAD A SOLID 80% APPROVAL RATING BY HER CONSTITUTES.

Then came a poll—a poll taken a mere three weeks after the Lefty Press gang-smeared Palin in a manner befitting their conduct towards Hillary Clinton.

Guess WHAT??????????
Palin’s approval rating fell 12 points.
Now does any intelligent person think the manner in which she governed Alaska changed in three weeks?
For crying out loud, the woman has been campaigning the entire time!! There is zero chance Palin committed anything policy-wise to make Alaska’s citizens turn against her by 12 percentage points.

And there is ZERO chance that her past efforts and successes and failures changed. (There is a 100% chance the media perpetuated lies about Palin, such as the continued fabrication that the woman tortured rape victims, and afterward put on witch-clothing and burnt books toasty at the public library, while having adulterous sex with an unknown entity, faked a pregnancy, and toasted male testicles on the remnants of her book fire.)

When a woman is in the mix, the press spins things into such ludicrous negativity, invents stories, and ABOVE all fails to outline the many positives of the female candidate while refusing to shine a beam on male’s negatives. Palin’s tenure as Goverenor of Alaska has been overwhelmingly positive, but NOW the average person would be hard-pressed, EXTREMELY hard-pressed to name one positive. Hats off MSM, u’ve done it again. First with Clinton, now with Palin. NO woman running for Top Doggie or 2nd Doggie is safe. We hear u loud and clear.

Upon Palin’s nomination, Obama’s released a statement sniding {sic but another great word} her tenure as a mayor and ignoring her successful tenure as governor and reformer; Taking this Obama snide as their own Talking Point, the press latched onto Wasilla as though that is all Palin had ever done. The Press said: “hey thanks Obama, that’s it! Eureka, we’ll talk to every last boy and frog Palin kissed, every email she wrote, every conversation she had, but only those that hurt her…we’ll do as you say, ignore her feats as governor and smear and snide her time as mayor.”

NOW!!! Like an elegant scientific study, we get the effects of media smears, when those smears are almost universal, when they are hysterical, to demonstrate the pernicious effect a universal smear campaign by MSM can have on a female candidate. THREE LITTLE WEEKS AND NO NEW GOVERNMENTAL ACTION AND SHE’S DOWN BY 12 IN HER STATE.

-Now just try to tell me that Media did not Kill off Hillary. Tell me about how Joe Biden Lied about being shot at in Afghanistan. Wait,… ....you haven’t heard about that if your in middle American and listen to the six o’clock news.
-Now tell me about Hillary’s sniper fire lies. Sure, that u can quote verbatim. Round the clock negative coverage Kills female candidates. If I had a nickel for the # of women who’ve said to me: “I really liked Hillary, until I didn’t.” When they didn't occured during the media hate frenzy towards Clinton.

There is almost no way anyone could hold up against such sustained smearing…….
--So did you know about Sarah?? What u like Sarah? Wait aaa second, hooold on now, not so fast!!
- Did you hear that your neighbor Sarah slept with Harriet’s wife—u know Harriet the sweet lady who is a 2nd grade teacher (disabled kids no less) and donates all her earnings to help homeless puppies.
-Yeah, Sarah slept with him a lot, and not only that she poisoned Harriet’s puppy—how? … well by God she gave him bad mousemeat!
-- Yeah the horsemeat, beefmeat and chicken meat from slaughterhouses wasn’t good enough for that one, she had to go and kill that poor poodle with rotten mousemeat.
--Yeah, and she didn’t repent, didn’t shed a tear. Didn’t run away like we told Hillary to do, you remember…Yeah Hillary the one who wanted to hunt down Obama, assassinate him, like she did to poor Ol’ bobby Kennedy. And Martin Luther King.
But back to Sarah…Yeah, she is such an idiot, won’t name a newspaper she reads b/c she knows we’ll rip her to shreds either way…the woman who hates Liberal Media reads the Times, gottcha, the woman is a dolt, she reads crack-capital local paper….OH Shit, wait that is Obama’s local town, forget the crack thing, we want to get Sarah for Meth-capital local Wasilla paper and Laugh, laugh, laugh…at her provincial ways, so her poll #s go down. Gotcha.

Now, don’t worry….We’ll tell u the truth about that Bitch Sarah after we’ve put Obama in the White House. Then we’ll run a retraction, maybe, unless we think she’s a future threat.
------ got the Point?
Research shows that if people hear something more than once it becomes fact in their minds, especially if they hear it repeatedly. So if one neighbor tells you Miss Sarah slept with Harriet’s husband, you will take it with a grain of salt, but by the time three or four repeat it, you’ll likely believe it.
If the MSM tells u Sarah slept with sweet Harriet’s hubby, it might only take a single telling. Day was, that trust in msm was fair. Those days are gone. MSM is as reliable now as bloggers nashing their teeth on one candidate or another. Journalism is in deep trouble, and that means we are all in deep trouble.
P.S.: A shout out to Uncle Fester who has over 234 pages of reader posts--234 pages!of posts. Tell u anything??
