You would like it to demonstrate the weakness, but what it really demonstrates is that 1. you bought in to the position a majority of your right wing bretheren held 2. that position, though irrational and marginal, was constantly up front and center in all the outlets that cater to the right and 3. I know you are a minority party- I can't help that. You lost because you are a minority party, which is why you can't dominate the airwaves- but those airwaves your side did dominate were full of some very weird stuff. It's embarrassing. I understand that. The lefty media outlets were NOT full of crap about Palin's child, nor did anyone in the true MSM mock Palin's baby- or it's mental status- those folks would be in marginal blogs and late night comedy hours- sources you are now trying to claim are unimportant (do you see how you can't complain that a blogger in Alaska is both "just a blogger" and is also the MSM when it comes to a political cartoon about a baby?). You demonstrate the weakness of your position by trying to 1. wiggle out of the fact that the major right wing outlets went insane about Obama and 2. the MSM, while disrespectful of Palin's intellect and rhetoric, said nothing much about her baby and family (except for a lot of welcoming articles when the baby was born- go look those up- in the MSM! Nice articles! About a baby!), and their coverage of the Bristol saga and her young man- because Palin dragged her up on stage and in to the spotlight, and now Bristol has her own touring company- but I've seen little in the MSM that is disrespectful- late night news is not considered the MSM on the left. The right may think that sort of thing is a "news" show, but the left does not. Talk about a pretzel. Try to follow your logic.
