Forced Disclosure Of Palin Emails Backfires On Attackers
After the publication of thousands of emails sent by former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin late last week I expected much contrived bad publicity this weekend for this charismatic Republican leader.
Amazingly, the first two headlines I read say things like this.
No word yet from Andrew Sullivan, the egregious Palin hater columnist in the Sunday Times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who was heard recently complaining that she was using her youngest daughter as a prop on political trips,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saying she should be in school. I wonder if this vicious, superficial, hate-monger subjects any other politician to this depth of scrutiny,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], always assuming he checked that Piper education has been jeopardized. He still apparently pushes the cruel canard that Trig is in fact Bristol illegitimate son.
No politician has generated such hatred and fear among leftist politicians since Ronald Reagan was dismissed as a dim-wit cowboy. The trawl of Palin emails by her opponents shows how determined they were to harm her; and not just lefties. Some British commentators not known for embracing socialist causes have expressed contempt for Palin, often in the most ignorant way. Surprisingly, The Spectator, a magazine I have loved and admired for getting on for half a century, gave space to two such attacks in the last 12 months.
I expressed my own contempt for the snobs Hugo and Alexander in letters to the Spectator which weren published. presidency, Palin deserves to have her politics subjected to the fiercest examination. But Rifkind accusations were simply risible. does she see in Israel that makes her think she has anything of value to say about anything? says Rifkind. Well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she was governor of Alaska,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ran as a vice-presidential candidate two years ago and might be number one on the Republican ticket next time. ignorance, though, soars into self-parody,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says Rifkind, then mentions some footling example. He says Palin got close to an Israeli Army checkpoint,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then turned around and went home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], suggests some silly reasons, then says he didn know why anyway.
didn bother learning anything, or even try to. This was a trip conducted in the same ignorance with which it was conceived. She wasn there to learn. She was there to look like she had learned,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says the great columnist, then provides absolutely no evidence to back this up. How can he possibly know this?
Rifkind indicts himself at the end of the column, in his comments on those out to get Speaker Bercow. It a pity Rifkind can be as generous about Palin.
never met Bercow, and everything I ever read about him has made me suspect that if I did,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I probably want to give him a kick. But at the same time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there something so bitter, petty and gross about the forces who range themselves against him that I inevitably find myself rooting for him all the same. Just change the name and the sex. Well said Hugo.
Yours sincerely
The Editor
The Spectator
Dear Sir,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
Use facts, not innuendo if you want to Palin
If you going to badmouth Sarah Palin, perhaps you ought to employ someone who is going to make a bit more of a serious effort than Alexander Chancellor (Palin is beyond a joke, Spectator August 28,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],2010)
This was a shameful mish-mash of warmed over innuendo and half truth. More than a third of the piece dredged up boring and irrelevant family matters. The jibe about one of her malapropisms in which she invoked Shakespeare after making up the word was simply a joke. Chancellor should lighten up. He attempts to mock her knowledge of the oil industry. As Governor of Alaska she handled high-powered negotiations with global oil companies, but that would have taken a bit of work to find out, like reading her book,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Rogue Does Chancellor have any evidence that this was ghost written? And does it matter if it was? And Palin has the audacity to write another book, and make money from appearing on TV and making speeches. What a glib, superficial, greedy politician she must be.
Chancellor fails even to use an episode which might reflect poorly on Palin; her decision to leave the Governorship before her term ended led to accusations that she was a quitter. But, surely, a great magazine like The Spectator should either seek an interview with Palin, or take the trouble to tell us what her policies are, and why these have made her into such an important political operative in America.
This attack on Palin does fit a pattern. Reagan was seen as a huge electoral threat to the left, which used all manner of underhand methods to try and undermine him. I not suggesting that Palin might turn out to be another Reagan, yet, but surely your readers deserve to read a proper analysis, not this gutter, tabloid, yellow journalism. As a Spectator reader of some 40 years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I expect more.
