Exactly. It gives them something to talk about. It was huge today on Limbaugh and the Jeff Katz show. They discussed two major things:
1) Palin out performing Obama on gathering a crowd.
2) SNL ripping into the Palin family.
Now, while I am sure both are great for ratings, neither
has anything to do with politics. They neglected to mention that Palin was speaking
in a retirement community full of conservatives; while Obama spoke in Charlotte a town lacking liberals (it's a swing state for him).
It's not taking anything away from Palin - 60,000 is an enormous crowd and it is something to be excited about. But it's just dirty to compare the
two as if there were any similarities.
As far as SNL, I'm not going to defend it, but it's SNL. The show that brought Will Farrel into the world. A liberal show that is known for
pushing buttons. Obama should not have to apologize for that. Rush Limbaugh says crazy stuff every day, and I don't expect McCain to be accountable
for him.
Also, I don't remember any of these conservatives speaking out for the Spears family when they were attacked for Jamie Lynn getting pregnant.
Everyone accused them of being a terrible family, leading to her pregnancy. Bill O'Reilly comes to mind.
Last, they keep saying that liberals say that anyone who doesn't vote for Obama is racist. They said it over and over today on both Limbaugh and the
Katz show afterwards.
It's a ridiculous statement and a blatant lie.
