~ Sarah Palin commenting on Journolist members via Twitter

As
we’ve already discussed, from the very day Sarah Palin was announced as
John McCain’s running mate, the dishonest and corrupt “mainstream media”
has been on a coordinated mission to destroy her. Jonathan Strong, who has
penned all of the Journolist articles for the Daily Caller was
able to get Sarah
Palin’s take on this scandalous breech of trust by our so-called “guardians
of the truth.”:

From a remote location on an island off Alaska’s coast, former Governor
Sarah Palin is blasting what she describes as the “sick puppies” in the
media who immediately and ruthlessly attacked her when Sen. John McCain picked
her as his running mate during the 2008 presidential campaign.

In exclusive remarks to The Daily Caller, Palin described “hordes of
Obama’s opposition researchers-slash ‘reporters’” descending upon Alaska in
the days after she was picked by McCain.

She said the media became a key reason she decided not to finish out her
term as governor and faults, in part, the McCain campaign for failing to
vigorously defend her.

Palin chose to be a public figure at the highest level, as a candidate in a
presidential campaign, arguably inviting the most intense scrutiny imaginable.

Yet TheDC revealed posts from Jounolist that show liberal journalists
coordinating attack lines against Palin from the moment McCain picked her,
suggesting she may have had the deck stacked against her.

Palin said she sensed the vitriol coming from campaign reporters at the
time.

“It was too obvious to me, my family, my administration and anyone else
who knew me (and my record) that we were in a defenseless position the minute I
gave my acceptance speech and the hordes of Obama’s opposition
researchers-slash ‘reporters’ had descended upon Alaska,” Palin told The
DC.

Please note that more than 64 “reporters” were air freighted to
Alaska to dig up dirt on Sarah Palin. Too bad no one was left to look into
Obama’s racist, anti-American preacher of 20 years, or his mentor, and ghost
writer of his first book, the murdering domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

Palin, whose conflicts with key McCain campaign staffers are infamous, said
the campaign could have stood by her more firmly.

“To not have had the McCain campaign staff defend my record was an
insurmountable challenge, because once a bell is rung, it’s impossible to
un-ring,” Palin said.

Regarding a television interview with Katie Couric widely seen at the time
as a turning point in the public’s perception of Palin, which critics argued
illustrated Palin’s inexperience, Palin said the interview was selectively
edited.

“It didn’t help, either, that the hours and hours of interviews with the
likes of Katie Couric resulted in a few minutes here and there of selected
snippets of my annoyed answers. (I naively had not believed at the time of some
of the badgering questions [for example, questioning my pro-life position] that
the editing process would fulfill their biased purpose),” Palin said.

Not to mention the Perky One was
well coached before she interviewed Sarah by Sam Nunn, a member of Team
Obama, who was not only on his short list for Vice President, but worked on
his transition team!

Palin says the feeding frenzy culture of the media galvanized her political
opponents in Alaska. “The media incentivized political opponents to file
false ethics charges and expensive, wasteful, frivolous lawsuits against me, my
family and my staff, in an obvious attempt to destroy us,” Palin said.

Sarah is talking about Obama’s hand picked Alaska Mafia, which you can read
about here.

When those lawsuits — which Palin said she won, but the media didn’t cover —
caused legal costs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, Palin had finally
had it, she said.

“I said, ‘Enough. Political adversaries and their political friends in
the media will not destroy my State, my administration, nor my family. Enough.’
I knew if I didn’t play their game any longer, they could not win. I would not
retreat, I would instead reload, and I would fight for what is right from a
different plane.“

This is where the genius of Sarah Palin shines through. Seeing a no win
situation, she handed the ball off to her very capable Lt Governor, Sean
Parnell, and has had both the media, and the Obama regime on the defensive ever
since.

Since resigning as governor, Palin has become a Fox News contributor, while
questions swirl about whether she’ll run for president in 2012. Though critics
say she is avoiding scrutiny by shying from tough questions of the media
establishment, she says she’s “starving the beast” on purpose –
intentionally avoiding the outlets she says burned her as a candidate.

“With the shackles off, I relish my freedom to call it like I see it,
while starving the media beast that was devouring the false reports about me,
my staff and my loved ones,” she said.

But even in her new life in media, the memories still seem to sting. She
blasted the “sick puppies” in the media who attacked her and says they “need
help.”

“The lamestream media is no longer a cornerstone of democracy in America.
They need help. They need to regain their credibility and some respect. There
are some pretty sick puppies in the industry today. They really need help,”
Palin said.

Palin said that behavior of the media, in betraying the tenets of journalism
– also betrays her son’s decision to serve his country overseas and protect the
rights of Americans.

“I have lost all respect for the ‘mainstream’ media because they lied;
and still lie. And they abuse America’s freedom of the press — because with
freedom comes responsibility. My son chose to put his life on the line to
defend that freedom, and I feel like his, and every good soldier’s, efforts are
thrown in their faces when the press takes advantage of their sacrifices
instead of respecting the freedoms they’re willing to die for,” Palin said.

In case you wonder, Sarah’s concern for and disgust with the nation’s “mainstream
media” not only comes from being a target of their vicious lies, but also
from that fact that she is a journalism major herself, and understands
intimately the sacred trust journalists are bound to honor.

Sarah’s love and respect for our brave men and women in our armed forces is
well known, and as you read this her disgust at the dishonest media is
palpable.

Personally, it’s inspiring to watch this woman fight these people, as well
as every other threat to Freedom and Liberty. No one else out there, certainly
none of usual suspects mentioned as potential contestants in the 2012
presidential derby, so vigorously defends Freedom, Liberty, and the Rule of
Law, like her.

The nation would be well served with Sarah Palin as our Commander-In-Chief
