The Source of the Sambo Smear

Bill Hennessy is doing the job the liberal media won’t: vetting the source of unsubstantiated Sarah Palin rumors.

Hennessy has made it his quest to ferret out the true identity and qualifications of foul smear merchant and self-anointed “independent investigative journalist” Charley James. Charley is the vacuous slob responsible for fabricating the “part Aboriginal” waitress named Lucille NoLastName. He claims she’s an anonymous source who overheard Sarah Palin say to her dining companions, “So Sambo beat the bitch!” when speaking of Senators Obama and Clinton.

As Dr. Melissa Clouthier points out, this would be comedy gold if Charley James wasn’t trying to pass it off as serious.

Charley’s ugly prevarications spread rapidly to the seediest dens of liberal iniquity, like Kos and Democratic Underground, then leached out into the wider blogosphere, including Barack Obama’s campaign site. His lies are inadequately sourced to the point of absurdity, and his credentials as a journalist are extraordinarily suspect. But as NewsBusters reminds us, “It doesn’t have to be true, it just has to be repeated enough for people to hear Palin and the disparaging remark together in a sentence.” Ugh.

Hennessy is doing the legwork to find out just who this charlatan is, and what his ties might be to the Obama machine. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the results.

Sarah Palin Fact: Sarah Palin Bans Books Years Before They’re Published


(image: Wasilla Public Library)

In 1996, Sarah Palin banned Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone from the Wasilla Public Library. Of course, it wasn’t published until 1998, but that just proves what I’ve been saying all along: Sarah Palin’s readiness to lead is due largely to her unparalleled precognitive ability.

Michelle Malkin has more on Sarah Palin’s uncanny ability to clear library shelves in a single bound.

Let’s hope Barack Obama’s campaign strategists never find out that in 1963 Sarah Palin organized a community-wide effort to find and destroy all copies of The Audacity of Hope.

Sarah Palin Facts has more little known gems about Governor Palin.

Sarah Palin and the Huffington Smear

Just in case you thought The Huffington Post was somehow more respectable than The Daily Kos, take a look at these tawdry smears of Sarah Palin vomited forth by Arianna’s lackeys on Friday:

Sarah Palin is a villainous thief and lying, contemptuous racist. She hates Rosa Parks and she hates you too. She is a Buchananite and an extremist with radical separatist ties who unlike Obama didn’t write her speech. She is both anti-science and anti-knowledge and amounts to nothing more than an empty distraction with a soap opera life.

All of that is just from the posts linked from the front page of HuffPo. There aren’t enough hours in the day to address the the rank invective and outright lies that dominate the reader comments.

And you know who else has written for The Huffington Post? Why yes, Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Now Imaginary Friends Are Weighing In On Sarah Palin

Yesterday columnist Froma Harrop shared a fanciful tale of her dinner with a “Republican-leaning independent who was despondent” over the Palin VP nomination. This “friend” was a McCain supporter who said that

all she could now see was that picture of Palin’s pregnant 17-year-old looking defiant and stupid as she held mom’s fifth baby.

Classy, Harrop. Classy.

Harrop’s imaginary friend then offered this gem:

Don’t they have birth control up in Alaska?

No, Froma. I reckon up in Alaska they’re too busy fantasizing about indoor plumbing and nailing their cousins to worry about birth control.

But that’s okay – if Obama has his way they’ll have infanticide, and that’s really the next best thing.

By the way, unwed father David Letterman also questioned the availability of Trojans in Alaska, and wondered why Sarah Palin didn’t have “the presence of mind to have chatted to her teenaged kids for five minutes about birth control.” Apparently humor is now above Letterman’s pay grade. Luckily Dr. Phil was there to school him on the limits of parental influence in the lives of teens.

Sarah Palin’s Uber Pwnage

Tonight America discovered a new national treasure in Sarah Palin. And the thousands of liberals who had underestimated her simultaneously crapped their pants. Joe Biden crapped his pants twice.

Governor Palin’s speech to the RNC was masterfully crafted, but more importantly, artfully delivered. She demonstrated an impressive ability to seamlessly maneuver between compassionate advocate and savvy attack dog. Sarah Palin proved that she can dish it out as well as she can take it.  I wouldn’t miss the VP debate for all the guns and religion in small town America.

Joe Biden, prepare to be pwned.

Today We Are All Bristol Palin

Reactions to the news of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy have ranged from gleeful schadenfreude to deranged acrimony from left wing dregs who believe they’ve found their Jeremiah Wright.

But Bristol’s brave decision to raise her baby with the support of her partner and family has also served to inspire. Her story is our story, and men and women throughout the blogosphere are sharing their personal experiences with teen motherhood and unintended pregnancies.

Dr. Sanity related her story of abortion and regret.

A RedState blogger shared his experience with unplanned pregnancy over two generations.

Neo-neocon described a few of the many ways unintended pregnancy can impact our lives.

Ed Morrissey lamented the branding of teen pregnancy as catastrophic, and shared his family’s touching story of teen parenthood.

And really, who among us can’t relate to what Bristol Palin and her family are going through? One-third of girls in the United States get pregnant before age 20, and over 80% of those pregnancies are unplanned. Many more teens have had “pregnancy scares,” for lack of a better term. Odds are you’ve either experienced teen pregnancy or you know someone who has.

So today, as Bristol Palin finds herself under the media microscope, viciously attacked by hypocrites in glass houses, all of us should stand behind her because in one way or another, we are all Bristol Palin.
