Charges of "liberal" media bias against Sarah Palin were amply disproven over the weekend. While mainstream media outlets extensively covered her triumphal return to Alaska for a fond farewell to her soldier son before his deployment to Iraq, these same media outlets mostly ignored an even larger rally against Palin along the streets of Anchorage. Assocated Press ran a short piece on their wire, but that was about it.

Organized by Angie Doroff, 46, and a small group of other woman who hatched the idea over cups of coffee, the "Alaska Women Reject Palin" rally drew about 1400-1500 protesters to surround the grounds of the Anchorage public library.

The photos and videos on this page give you a clear idea about the size of the rally and the disgruntled attitudes toward Sarah Palin in the state she governs.

How did this mainstream media miss this important story? Were they not paying attention?

There's an old saying in journalism that the headline, "Dog Bites Man," is not news, but "Man Bites Dog" is worth reporting. Here was a case of "Women Bite Pit Bull," and it barely generated a ripple in the so-called "liberal" mainstream press. Go figure.

The crowd looked to be in the high hundreds at least, and organizers said they counted 1,500.

I'm right there with you. I have never felt so strongly against a candidate before next to Bush/Cheney. There's something about her and those who seem to be under mind control supporting her.

Yeah, pro-life

Mind control?

Well yeah. Why else would any rational human being look to her as being even remotely qualified to lead this country if god forbid anything happened to McCain?

Of course I was not serious,

but it jokingly seems like only some form of mind control can actually convince ANYBODY that such a judgmental, hypocritcal, grossly unqualified, and just plain unlikeable woman can lead our country in these of all times. But this is just my opinion, and by no means an attack on any political leaning. There are many TRUE conservatives who believe just as strongly as I do that this woman is a farce.

I wonder how many of those protestors were "imported"?

Well, anything is possible and if you have info we don't, please share. Like I said, the biggest demo in the state's history is pretty telling of her approval there. If you have info that those weren't really Alaskans, let us know, otherwise you're just making things up which I believe is now frowned on.
