The McCain campaign had recruited as a Palin handler none other than Tucker Eskew, the South Carolina consultant who had worked for George W. Bush in the notorious 2000 G.O.P. primary battle where the McCains and their adopted Bangladeshi daughter were slimed by vicious racist rumors.
No less disconcerting was a still-unexplained passage of Palin’s convention speech:
Her use of an unattributed quote praising small-town America (as opposed to, say, Chicago and its community organizers) from Westbrook Pegler, the mid-century Hearst columnist famous for his anti-Semitism, racism and violent rhetorical excess.
After an assassin tried to kill F.D.R. at a Florida rally and murdered Chicago’s mayor instead in 1933, Pegler wrote that it was “regrettable that Giuseppe Zangara shot the wrong man.”
In the ’60s, Pegler had a wish for Bobby Kennedy: “Some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow falls.”
This is the writer who found his way into a speech by a potential vice president at a national convention.
It’s astonishing there’s been no demand for a public accounting from the McCain campaign.
Imagine if Obama had quoted a Black Panther or Louis Farrakhan — or William Ayers — in Denver.
The report establishes that Palin deliberately set up Todd Palin to handle communications over the Wooten matter after Monegan warned her it was inappropriate for her to be making such contacts herself.
"The evidence supports the conclusion that Gov. Palin, at the least, engaged in 'official action' by her inaction, if not her active participation or assistance to her husband in attempting to get Trooper Wooten fired," adding that "there is evidence of her active participation."
Palin "knowingly, permitted Todd Palin to use the governor's office and the resources of the governor's office, including access to state employees, to continue to contact subordinate state employees in an effort to find some way to get Trooper Wooten fired."
These contacts were a breach of ethics and an abuse of the governor's office.
"We understood at the beginning that we were on a fact-finding mission, but we don't have the power to prosecute."
"We have the power to investigate. We have the power to change law based on the investigation.
We don't have the power to convene a grand jury, for example, and seek an indictment."
Informed opinion is common sense. But common sense is not too common it seems.
Palin backers are rejoicing that the Troopergate Report did not lay charges on her and claim it was a political stunt!
Hmmm... Doesn't - 10 Republicans + 4 Democrats = bipartisan report!?
The McCain campaign issued a statement that said the report "illustrates what we've known all along:
this was a partisan led inquiry run by Obama supporters."
The statement added: "Lacking evidence to support the original Monegan allegation, the Legislative Council seriously overreached, making a tortured argument to find fault without basis in law or fact."
am I missing something? is it some personal thing against Palin .....
it was actually the first thing that struck me about Palin ... the resemblance.
am I missing something? is it some personal thing against Palin or the republicans or whatever? fact remains, there is a lot of personal vilification going on in this thread ... not just against Palin but against one another.
you are all supposed to be good mates, not call each other names. otherwise you will find yourselves banned for quite a fair length of time & who wants that to happen?
oh & by the way: many years ago I wrote a book with that lady from Q'ld ... please explain ... in mind - a sexdoll in her image takes centre stage for a while. its called Karleen MP. a few copies to give away for light relief, anyone. first three, for free ....

Which side is REALLY "Gripped by insane rage?" It is not Republicans, as the media would lead you to believe.

This is so wrong.

Actually, what shocked me the most was the violent intent of many of the hard right respondents in the comments following the article. The many calls to "bear arms" and "stand up & fight for what's right" (literally - not figuratively) sounds like a call to revolution.
You say it is not Republicans who are gripped by insane rage? Did you even bother to read the various Republican respondent's comments? Or did you just blindly follow the tenet of the article's author?

Oh come on. There are deranged loons on both sides.
The difference is the recent looniness on the right has been incited by McCain himself! And the outrageous comments from supporters are being said in front of Palin/McCain.
Only yesterday did McCain finally try to put a stop to the frenzy he and Palin whipped up themselves.
Obama has not incited his supporters in this way.
I agree there is ugliness on the left as well, but there is no evidence Obama/Biden are fueling it.
Huge difference.
Palin focused on the economy saying Obama would raise taxes, increase spending, add to the national debt.
“Folks, in times like these the last thing we need is a tax increase,” she said at a rally in front of a barn.
“America just can’t afford another big spender in the White House.”
Her tough talk on Obama’s relationship with William Ayers and views on abortion were excluded, other than a passing message to Obama’s opposition to a ban on late-term abortions, which elicited chants of, “Killer” from the crowd.
I wonder if she winked!“All across America, I know that there’s a lot of anger right now,” she said. “There’s anger about the insider dealing of lobbyists and anger at the greed of Wall Street, and anger about the arrogance of the Washington elite. And with serious reforms to change Washington, John McCain is going to turn your anger into action.”
While she avoided explicitly linking Obama to Ayers Palin spoke of how those who “support and sympathize with the terrorists” are the bad guys.
While Palin was explicitly speaking of Islamic terrorists, it could be perceived as a way of evoking Ayers indirectly.
“They do not like America because of what we stand for: liberty, freedom, equal rights,” she said.
“Those who sympathize and support those terrorists who would seek to destroy all that it is that we value, those are the bad guys, OK?”
