Gil - the election is over, your guy won.

How about blogging about something important or relevant. Your act is getting very old.

Sarah Palin was the perfect target for the angry left--as an Evangelical Christian who kept the defective 'problem' baby and supported her daughter's through her unwanted pregnancy made she was the perfect vile enemy of the frustrated left. Plus she is actually attractive and has an attractive husband and family and strong intact marriage. Unlike Hillary, the former Poster Child for what it means to be a woman (pro-choice, 'victim' of a philandering powerful man, marginal Christian at best). They were trapped by their own hippocracy and flamed even more because of it!

She validated every little bit of self hate the feminists have for themselves and threw them into a frenzy.

And, while it was impossible for the Press to attach Obama due to his race and the possibility of having important viewers and readers offended (If Jesse Jackson wanted to castrate Obama, that was ok with them but they weren't going to have any part of it), it was easy to throw Palin under the bus because race trumps sex (and age) in our current society.

I am disgusted by the ongoing energy being thrown at Palin and women like her by association. She's a smart, intellectually strong, unusually principled woman who is able to juggle life and family under lots of pressure. That should be enough.

The dumping she is receiving from the McCain aides says lots more about them, their loyalties, and character than anything about Sarah Palin!

Leave her alone. Enough is enough. So much for room in the tent for everybody exposing the amazing double standard of the press and the Left.

She is an American patriot and we have room for everybody in our tent (yeah, right).

You have got to be kidding...first that "that should be enough"...for what...to be one heartbeat away from president? and secondly that you think these are her attributes, and these 'attributes" cause some sort of jealousy among liberal women..The reason the SNL jokes and skits work is because there is some truth to them. Just like this joke about GW gets laughs..

Three Brazilian SoldiersDonald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

Sarah Palin is George Bush in a skirt...which is why the evangelical right loves her and the left is still concerned/upset and talking about her.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

It really is time to boycott Gil Smart.

I am taking the pledge. Cancelled my Sunday News subscription. And I will not even be clicking on to READ anything he posts online.

The "moron" on the Sarah Palin vid was the last straw for me.

I hope not only do people stop COMMENTING on this foul bigot, but that people stop even reading it. When both columns consistently read ZERO on TalkBack, maybe they will give him the hook.

Sore winner. Yep. That's about right.

The left (you) are still concerned about her? You won. Get over it. Seriously, didn't your hear, Obama won the election?

(Snippet about Boycotting Gil)

I'm with you, but I'd like to come up with something more meaningful, perhaps a more effective strategy. He is over the top.

I'm not a sore winner...I'm a relieved winner. Just trying to help you guys out with your (once again flawed) perception of reality...to quote Colbert..."Reality has an unfair liberal bias"...I can't help that... And as far as your boycott is concerned...I notice that FOX news, MSNBC, ABCnews, CNN, and obviously David Letterman are all still talking about Sarah Palin and her being thrown under the bus by REPUBLICANS...will you be boycotting them too?

Continue to support Mr. Smart, a journalist who posts opinions, such as, did military intentionally murder their own soldiers because these soldiers wrote an op ed for the NYTs. That's the type of journalist you defend, someone who makes scandalous, completely unsubtanited, completely absurd, and absolutely bigoted posts.

Ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable.

First of all, Pericles, the "opinion" you just mentioned is in the form of a question. Opinions are usually statements.

There's a difference between posting a blog and writing a non-op-ed for the newspaper. When writers for the paper post a blog, they are not being journalists, they are being bloggers. Investigative journalism is much different than blogging, just as it is much different than writing opinion columns. LNP employs Gil to be an investigative journalist AND an opinion columnist, and they rightfully hold him to two very different standards to accomplish these completely separate tasks.

And for all of you complaining about the "big red moron" plastered across Palin's head, do you really think Gil is responsible for the graphics in the video? Do you think he edited the video? Did he write the music, too? Give me a break. The producer/editor's name is Paul Franz. It says so in the credits at the end of the video. If you want to complain about somebody, it should probably be him. I'm pretty sure Gil did nothing but provide the spoken words, most of them lifted from the blogs he's already posted.

You people have hate on the brain.

As the Obama team selects cabinet and White House staff positions the competition for Press Secretary grows ever more fierce as hopefuls try to out do one another by trashing Sarah Palin.
The sources of these smears are three fold:
The Obama campaign, who know how much her selection did to revive the moribund McCain campaign.
They don't want to face her in 2012.
McCain's primary opponents who know they will have to compete against Palin next presidential election cycle.
And the afore mentioned pundants looking for their 15 minutes.

Oh give it a break.
Palin deserves some peace and quiet.
Doesn't the news media have enough productive stuff to do?

There is nothing I could possibly add to your post, and you mirror my thoughts. It's not unusual to have gracious winners and sore losers. This election has produced just the opposite.

The last 8 years have been disasterous! As long as people keep floating the idea of George Bush in a dress running for president in 2012..we can not rest....

Where are you getting the information that the competition for press secretary is "fierce"? most sources I've read have assumed the the job goes to Robert Gibbs...see Gil's blog from Nov. 6 http://blogs.lancasteronline.com/smartrema...08/11/06/score/
ALSO wrt Palins' prospects for 2012...if the religious right comes to their senses, she will lose even their support... EVEN MORE NEW REVELATIONS ABOUT PALIN...

the only reason the "gil " crowd keeps pounding Palin is because of how she energized the conservative right.They want to discredit her as much as they can so that she wouldnt have a chance to run in 12

GASP!!! You know, there's a word for that kind of behavior...it's called POLITICS

from webster " : competition between competing interest groups or individuals for power and leadership (as in a government) "


Don't you think 8 years of "energized conservative right" policies have already brought us close enough to the brink of disaster?

There are two reasons: 1) She's attractive. For better or for worse, people listen when pretty girls talk, no matter what nonsense may come out of their mouths. 2) Incompetence, by itself, is not entertaining. However, when the incompetent are supremely self-confident, full of certitude, and absent of insight, it's absolutely compelling.

But, Rev you have to admit Gil the Shill can't let go. The hate he has for the right is ingrained in his day to day world so he can't stop the un original regurgitaton of the lefty media's still trying to get a laugh.

So blogging about Palin 3 days after the election means Gil "can't let go." Old news huh? Sorry, not buying it. If he's still blogging about Palin after Obama is in office, assuming there's no mention of her in the MSM for some other ridiculous thing she's done, then I'll say he can't let go. Until then, let's keep making fun of the crazy lady who thinks Jesus walked with dinosaurs.

Yup. The Palin pick provided fodder for the news media and energized the Repub base. Just read an article by David Brooks (intel 11/12 A8) where he discusses GOP Traditionalists and Reformers. He's saying that Traditionalists want to regain power within the party, return to its core ideas, and rally behind Palin. He also predicted the party will experience more defeats while doing so until they get back in touch with mainstream America.

Have a great day!!!
