With the help of the GOP, the left aims to make the Silent Majority silent again.
1/19/11, "We Just Witnessed The Media's Test Run To Re-Elect Barack Obama," Legal Insurrection, William A. Jacobson
"If Republicans want to know exactly what not to do to win in 2012, then follow advice similar to that offered by David Frum as to why Sarah Palin should "stop talking now" about the false accusations that she was responsible for the Tucson shooting:
"There is no one left in America that would blame her.”Oh really? Two polls show otherwise.
I previously posted about a CNN poll showing that 35% of all people (including 56% of Democrats and 34% of Independents)
- believe that Palin has a great deal or moderate amount of responsibility for the shooting.
- Palin bears "at least some responsibility" for the shooting.
- The false connection of the Palin electoral target map to the shooting
- did not start in the mainstream media.
- with the help of their followers.
The Democrats and their mainstream media supporters were put back on their heels in 2010, and are regrouping. And if regrouping requires falsely accusing a major Republican figure of complicity in mass murder, and
- then amplifying that false accusation for several days in the face of contrary evidence
- until a substantial portion of the population believes it, they will do it.
Palin supposedly didn't issue a statement soon enough
- or she issued it too soon;
- she was making it all about her;
- her tone was not right;
Having created a false narrative of Palin's responsibility for the shooting, the mainstream media tried to deprive Palin of the ability to defend herself against the charges. And unfortunately,
- some who supposedly are on our side have jumped on that bandwagon.
- how wonderful Obama was, how he helped heal the nation.
It does not matter whether you support Palin for President, whether you think she is electable, or even whether you like her. This is not about Palin, it is about the mainstream media's desire to have Barack Obama re-elected at any cost and to take down any Republican candidate who stands in the way.
I'll take it one step further, and agree with John Ziegler (h/t HotAir) that there may not be any Republican candidate other than Palin who can withstand the reinvigorated Obama media juggernaut:
Update: John Hinderaker at Powerline writes that it's all over for Palin, and the "time has come to put any thoughts of Sarah Palin running for President to rest." The basis for this analysis is a CNN poll showing Palin with all-time high negatives in the wake of theIn the vile attempt to tie Palin to the Tucson shooting we have witnessed the test run for how the left-wing blogosphere will target Republican candidates and propel false narratives into the mainstream media,
- 'Everyone else will inevitably melt (like even grizzled veteran John McCain did) when they get close to the blast furnace that will be going up against the Obama juggernaut. Far more than anyone else in conservative history, Palin has been forced to prove just how fireproof her convictions are and how deep her resolve is.'
If Palin is taken down politically over the Tucson shooting,
- and how the mainstream media will take those narratives and run with them.
- there is not a single Republican candidate who can survive the coming onslaught.
- accusations that she was connected to the Tucson shooting.
Operation Demoralize is working."
