Betting Expert: Left-Wing Attack Dogs Hurting Obama Badly
How badly are the personal attacks on Sarah Palin by left-wing mouthpieces hurting Barack Obama? A
widely circulated YouTube video has liberal talker
John Stewart trying to kill two birds with one stone, using unrelated comments
by Bill O’Reilly about Bristol Palin and Jamie Lynn
Spears (sister of
somehow prove a conservative hypocrisy.
As the host of the O’Reilly Factor himself says, “Every
time the far left attacks Palin
personally, it’s another vote for McCain.” Vile smear merchant Bill Maher has
joined the choir in unintentionally helping McCain with vicious innuendo about Palin’s teenage daughter.
There is no question Palin has
benefited from a sympathy vote by those rallying around the victim of the
politics of personal destruction.
If Laura Ingraham compared Obama’s (single) mother to
Brittany or Jamie Lynn Spears, this would help Obama. If Sean Hannity claimed
that Barack’s blunder with George Stephanopoulos was proof of the Democrat’s
radical Islam, this would backfire and hurt McCain. (In an interview, Obama
used the term “My Muslim faith.”)
Four years ago John Kerry led George Bush in all the
polls. Then Bush got his gift horse: Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911 was a mocumentary filled
with half-truths, exaggerations and just plain lies about President Bush. This
pushed the undecided to rally around Bush.
Ultimately the race will still be decided by who wins the
Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates. But unless Palin
is annihilated by Joe Biden or a true “October
Surprise” is uncovered, the relentless personal attacks on Palin
and her family will aid the Republican ticket in November.
Right wingers extremists like Michael Savage, Anne
Coulter, and Pat Robertson need to be cautious in their bomb-throwing and not
return the favor of the far-left. So far
they have been typically partisan, but sans the vitriol of Olbermann,
Stewart, and Maher.
If the medium is truly the message, then McCain should
have one request of the far-left: keep talking.
