PALIN'S SPEECH- Let The Pettiness Begin !
I thought Sarah Palin's speech last night was terrific. The left are so scared of her and all she represents, they have begun their petty attacks because she dared to have....speechwriters. Next you'll hear that she (gasp!) used a... teleprompter.

NEWSFLASH! Politicians Have Speechwriters! [Mark Hemingway]
Immediately after Palin's speech I saw a panelist on MSNBC harrumphing that Palin didn't write her speech — she had one of George W. Bush's speechwriters. You don't say...

It was an extraordinarily petty and desperate attempt to devalue her remarkable speech — speechwriters or not, the speech was an accurate reflection of who she is and she obviously contributed to the writing of it in significant ways. For instance, the pitbull/lipstick line was all hers.

However, Ace notes that "Palin didn't write her speech" is a talking point being pushed by the Obama/Biden campaign. Which is ridiculous. Obama is an undeniably talented writer, and yet you better believe he has speechwriters. But what's most unbelievable is that surrogates of Joe Biden are questioning the provenance of a political opponent's speech.

Decide for yourself:

YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFULLY TAUGHT....
My brother sent me an email with this illustrative story:

I was talking to a friend of mine's little girl, and she said she wanted to be President some day.

Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?'

She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'

'Wow - what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow,pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food or a new house.'

She thought that over for a few seconds 'cause she's only six. And while her Mom glared at me, she looked me straight in the eye and asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?'

And I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'

Her folks still aren't talking to me.

I can understand why !

All I can say is that you have to be carefully taught indoctrinated to be a leftist/Democrat. Most children are too smart to go there...which is why you have traitorous terrorist scum like William Ayers working so hard to have his ideology dominate the K-12 educational curriculum.

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made (ed. note: or who are Republican/conservative!),
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!

Palin: offensive. That is what I am hearing most about her speech. People felt offended by what she said, her attacks and, mostly, her smug tone.

That makes sense. Considering what a mess her life is and how much lying she has to do about her credentials, she should talk.

She didn't offer up anything that isn't a Republican Talking Point and didn't come across as anyone you would want to know.
