Far Left Newsweek Attacks Sarah Palin Before Book Release
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, November 14, 2009, 2:01 PM
In case there’s any doubt where Newsweek’s devotion lies:
Via Politico
“She’s bad news for the GOP and everyone else, too.”
Yeah. She sure looks dangerous in those jogging shorts.
More… Aitch added:
It’s perfectly normal to expend this kind of energy on someone who’s “irrelevant” and a “quitter” and whose 15 minutes of political fame have already been used up, right?

With that picture on the cover they are going to lose their argument.

Sarah is ready. She ran a state and is mighty fine!
John Cooper commented:
The girly-men at Newsweak just have a problem with strong, beautiful, intelligent, conservative women. They prefer the Helen Thomas and Rosa DeLauro types.

Dell commented:
NewsWeek’s political allegiance has never been in doubt. They’ve been in the tank for anything Democrat for a long time. Right along with CNN and all the rest of their family “cousins”.
What’s surprising to me is that they don’t understand; every such story and cover only INCREASES the woman’s popularity and DIMINISHES their own objectivity as a news organization.
SP will enjoy a few thousand more book sales, thanks to the great PR from those who wish her ill will. Fools.

Rusty commented:
Newsweek would have Sarah and her kind shipped off to camps to be stripped, raped, gassed, and dumped into mass graves.. if their true desires could come true.
Mike W commented:
But of course the political elite in DC are afraid. If the public was to ever get the idea that they could elect an outsider to replace them the elitists would all be doomed.
McClatchy Watch commented:
In other news, Newsweek is laying off staff due to dropping readership.
Brooklyn commented:
So they have a Democratic Party they remain devoted to, that raises the cost of living with everything they get their hands upon.
Democrats raise taxation, regulations, cost of living, deficits, etc.
Does Newsweek even care about the disaster the Democrats have caused in NJ, MI, LA, CA, MASS, NY, etc?
Meanwhile they have peddled for more malaise and appeasement in the form of Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Clinton, etc., and they think Mrs. Palin is a problem?
Their mindless political bigotry has given rise to policies that have given us a Mortgage Meltdown, via the exploitation of Fanny and Freddie, the largest unemployment rate in over 20 years, the largest Fed Deficits we have ever experienced, etc.
Newsweek and other DNC controlled establishments are so filled with a political bias, their readership is sinking like the Titanic.
Yet, they continue to spin the folly, pushing the worst Carter-esque policies of appeasement and taxation on us all. Crushing freedom, opportunity, while growing dependency.
Everything Democrats have done, is an utter failure.
And now the Democrats are trying to return us all to the denial of the 1990′s, which treated a WAR like a criminal – law enforcement issue. Even the 9-11 Commission rebuked the misguided Clinton Administration for their naive – corrupt policy, which enabled the dangerous Terrorist Threat faced by the USA.
But the Democrats just never learned anything from the Carter Malaise, the Clinton Negligence, or even the failure of oppressive Communism, as well as the weak European Socialist offering.
The Democrats are doomed to send us all downward, and Newsweek is too lost to even grasp the disaster they are pushing.
It is sad. As they embrace more ugly Partisan stereotyping, and demeaning other fine Americans.
Heather commented:
You’d almost think they were obsessed with her the way they go after her. I mean, why would you waste so much time on someone, if you really didn’t like them…?
lyle commented:
The next couple of years are shaping up as the perfect Sarah Palin moment. She’s the anti-incumbent, anti-elitist icon. The more that media establishment and beltway insiders hate her, the more she becomes the standard bearer for revolution. Romney and Pawlenty might be better presidential timber, but if America wants an outsider, Sarah’s the choice.
It’s already clear that she recognizes her opportunity and is maneuvering to exploit it. (For you liberals: by pure stupid luck she’s going to blunder her way recklessly from success to success.)
Joan of Argghh! commented:
It’s my bet that she can run faster mad than her detractors can scared.
Run, Sarah, run!
.
Sally commented:
It’s just amazing how much energy and time the left spends with Sarah. They must be really enthralled with her
) Sarah is an icon of freedom along with a powerhouse of the true American leader.
Anton commented:
Wow, are they ever ANGRY at Newsweek. Jeez…
Oh, and Aitch, it’s not just energy they’re expending, it’s cold, hard cash too! But of course, George Soros can afford it…
Flavia commented:
She looks awesome! Hard to consider it an attack when the picture is that flattering.
jainphx commented:
Sarah just may be the right person at the right time to take down the Ruling ELITES that are actively tearing America apart.
I say be part of the solution, or sit down and shut up.
Spider-Man commented:
Newsquesk represents what about 10% of America is thinking. But they scream and bitch so loudly they want you to think a majority believes the crap they are spewing.
As mentioned above this actually backfires for the libtards and makes more people curious about what has got these wankers whining so much. I think what Sarah represents is actually main stream, but the media will never admit it.
lyle commented:
A book tour is a tried and-true strategy for a politician to test the national waters. Sarah will soon get to see the breadth and depth of interest at bookstore signings and on radio and TV.
At the same time that the media’s cherished messiah is tanking in the polls, their nemesis will be stalking the heartland. It should be fun to see just how hard they try not to cover a big story they know is about to erupt.
Smarty commented:
Have they ever had a more negative cover than that? I don’t think that they every snarked on known scumbags that bad.
Betsy Ross commented:
Also on the enemy list of the far-left:
Liz Cheney
Michele Bachmann
Michelle Malkin
Ann Coulter………….
and every Conservative American Woman
Note to the far-left,
Bring It! There are a lot more of us than there are of you!
MaxTruth commented:
Does anyone know if libraries have to pay for subscriptions to magazines like Newsweek?
richwill commented:
The picture states the reason the left hates Sarah Palin; she is beautiful and she is conservative, which is a guarantee to place her on every left wing hate list.
lyle commented:
To cite one example of how Sarah is positioning herself as the true renegade outsider, consider the title:
Going Rogue.
When those words were originally said about her, they were meant as an insult. Now she wears them as a badge of honor. Can anyone name another presidential candidate who could self-brand that way?
To quote the outflanked and soon-to-be-slaughtered hunter in Jurassic Park: ‘Clever girl.’
Karen commented:
One of my favorite ways to protest is to rearrange magazines in the grocery store or book store or wherever they are displayed. Just put something else in front of them. Are you with me?
Luke commented:
Wow! What an awesome cover!
…what do you mean there are words on it? What words? All I see is TRUE GRIT!
Sequoia commented:
This is great…really. Anytime the GOP is getting advice from the MSM, academics, or other talking heads, do the opposite.
Katie Caustic used her “notebook” piece to warn the GOP about how “destructive” Glenn Beck is, and we’ve been hearing all kinds of talk about how horrible Sarah is for the GOP. And, maybe they are correct. Sarah and Co. COULD mobilize a third party, and/or wrest control of the GOP and put the party back in the hands of true conservatives. THAT’S what scares the Libratti more than anything: A party w/leaders that (look and) sound like Ronald Regan. She has “it”, the undefinable charisma that strikes fear into the hearts of the libs.
For too long, the Democrats have relied on the inexorable pull of the GOP to the center of the road. It’s time to grab the wheel, and make a hard right…I really don’t care who falls off the bus. (Bye,bye, Dede!)
Alan commented:
Not only will I not buy Newsweek, I won’t even pick one up to flip through in the doctor’s office.
Sequoia commented:
One other thought:
NO ONE READING THIS SHOULD PAY MONEY FOR THIS FISH-WRAP!! (Except the trolls…)
Read it at your next dental visit.
TaSS commented:
So nice of Newsweek and all other left leaning journalists to be concerned with the GOP and Sarah Palin that has about an 80% approval rating.
Perhaps they should reserve some of that concern for the women of the democratic party such as Nancy Pelosi, whose approval ratings are around 19%….yikes!
Sequoia commented:

Karen,
My wife and I do it all the time…we call it re-merchandising!!
John Hetman commented:
It is my understanding the Newsweek is not doing well financially. I have not read it for a couple of decades. It always smacked of being a smarmy, sophomoric publication slanted for low brows who strive to attain to the middle.
kathie commented:
This crap is lead from the White House……that you can take to the bank. Obama has done this before, he is trying to wipe the slate clean.
BurmaShave commented:
As I recall on the day that Sarah was actually wearing these togs she challenged Obama to a race. She made it sound like a foot race…but another kind of race comes to mind.
Hornett commented:
She sure as hell is gonna get this 68 year olds vote
Kevin commented:
My first thought was “I kinda want her to be bad news for the GOP, as well as everyone else” I am as disgusted with the GOP as I am with the Dems– sometimes more so.
Have any of you thought about this though?:
I don’t know if she is going to do her book tour/signings at bookstores (I assume so) how is the media possibly going to be able to spin the aerial shots of full parking lots, spilling out on to major avenues in the cities she visits? Crowds backed up for hundreds of yards from the store doors waiting to see her and get their book signed doesn’t really prop up your narrative of her being a non entity now does it?
If she came here to a Books-A-Million I frequent, they would simply have to shut down all the other stores that share the property with them, it would be filled up right back to the Costco on the same property which is a good 1/4 mile to the other end.
What are they going to be able to say then? Everyone just really wanted coffee at the same time on that day??
Gary Rosen commented:
Years ago Mad Magazine did a parody of Newsweek called “Newsweak”. Years ahead of its time.
more insight commented:
The title comes from “The Sound of Music” and the song “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?”
Maria, you see, was the hero and protagonist of the musical and, later, the movie.
And Maria was pursued by the Nazis.
Hmmmm . . . so if Palin is Maria and Newsweek is out to get her, perhaps Newsweeks’s red, black, and white masthead is appropriate.

Main Stream Media commented:
No really. How DO you solve a problem like Sarah? We got nothing but outrageouss lies and nonsense smears which no one is buying.
The only ones dumb enough to believe what we write are our own base of liberals, lefties and trolls. We are asking our readers how do we solve this problem? We don’t have a clue and she scares the he** out of us with her popularity
We better find a solution fast or we are royally screwed
Nahanni commented:
The only people who Sarah Palin represents a “problem” to are the Obamaocultists, the RINO’s, the MSM prestitutes and Obamaofluffers and their supporters. They fear her the same way an Orc or a vampire fears the sunlight.
What these fools do not realize that they can “trash” Sarah Palin all they want. It only serves to dig all their graves faster. Already they have about 4 1/2 feet dug and they are digging as fast as they can.
Joanne commented:
They hate her because they fear her.
They say she is bad for the GOP, which translated means she is good for the GOP and bad for the Democrats.
Gee, five kids and she still looks great – that must make her soooooo bad for the GOP.
Jo commented:
I think Bozo , Bill and Hillary actually want to ask her out on a date. That is how much they both hate her.
backhoe commented:
Pardon the drive-by, cut & paste, but I’ve said it before, FWIW:
… let me tell you my story as briefly as I can.
Back when Hillary looked like the front runner, I stated loudly and publicly on the forums I inhabit that I would stay home rather than vote for McCain ( who I dubbed Capn’ Queeg ) or any of those other tired, old Republican retreads.
Then Obama came along, and he sounded- at first– not alarming.
But when I saw the eerie, quasi- religious fanaticism of his supporters, I started getting worried- they were kooks.
So, I decided to hold my nose and vote for The Capn’ regardless, but I did not like it a bit– it felt like BobDole! BobDole! All over again.
Now Miss Emily and I have been married almost 25 years, and in all that time I have never been able to get her to vote, protest, or show any interest in politics- she was a Goldwater Girl ( the real thing, not the phony Hillary type ) who turned into a Democrat after college at a liberal arts school, and becoming a union member.
When Sarah was introduced, she actually stood up, and yelled “I want to vote for that woman!”
( And for what little it’s worth, I’d been aware of Sarah for some time, and hoped against hope she’d get the VP nomination )
And she campaigned tirelessly for her, and that, err, the white-haired guy…
And threw up all night after it became apparent that the Kenyan/Indonesian/Whateverian Usurper had it in the bag.
I don’t know if it’s enough to win an election, but there is a base of people like my wife- atypical, drawn to a new face with basically good ideas, who isn’t part of that ghastly beltway Good Old Boy network of power-happy thieves.
jainphx commented:
Sarah: You got um right where you want um, easy down on the peddle, don’t want to finish um to soon.
Ladue Pundit commented:
NewsWeek–read by people stuck in waiting rooms.
Ladue Pundit commented:
The real question is “How do you solve a problem like Obama?”
Two terrorists attacks on U.S. soil–army recruitment center in AR and Ft. Hood massacre–and NewsWeek tell us the problem is Sarah Palin.
Correction: How do we solve a problem like the economy-destroying, war-losing, deficit-raising, money-printing Obama administration?
There’s a subject NewsWeak should tackle.
Tom_Ohio commented:
It is not Newsweak, it is The Administration that is driving this whole many-pronged attack.
Anita Dunn ( lizard-woman ) said: We control(ed) the media and they did not print anything we did not want them to print.
O-Blah Blah and his cohorts are trying to wipe Palin off the field and have been trying for over a year now.
They keep making her stronger and all that O-Blah Blah does is make America weaker.
1) Send in no troops
2) Bow to foreign governments
3) Tell Congress to ignore that Dunn behind the curtain and do not do any investigating
My new saying is this:
Mmmm.. Mmmm.. Mmmm Barak HASAN Obama
JSF commented:
Rather then talk and complain about Newsweek, here is something we on the Right can do:
(Read the rest of the list too!)
http://valley-of-the-shadow.blogspot.com/2009/11/35-things-conservatives-libertarians.html
8. 60 Minutes spends every Sunday making ads for the Democratic party. Here are the editors,
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/07/08/60minutes/main13503.shtml
find them and talk with them. If you can’t convince with niceness, we strike harder. Make teams, especially if you are in the NY/NJ/CT area.
9. Newsweek writes the Obama message of the week. As above, find their editors and get to know them. Ask nicely first, if they can’t see our side, ask harder at their house.
10. Fareed Zakharia is the International Editor of Newsweek and has a CNN show. However, because he was allowed to Hate Conservatives, Republicans, President Bush and Governor Palin and has an Ivy Degree, he is allowed a platform to hate Jews and Israel. Get him off both platforms.
Judith commented:
LaDue Pundit: You say it all but include socialized meds, please. Cheers to Sarah, I still have my bumper sticker on my car.
rjjrdq commented:
Is that really her? We know MSNBC ran doctored pictures of her. Not that this one has anything wrong with it. Maybe a country with the waistline like the the U.S. could be motivated by such a picture.

Please, anyway who still subscribes to this piece of trash cancel now and don’t anyone buy it. If you want to read it, go to the library or read it in the store the way the cheap-ass libs do. There are a lot of us out here and our presence needs to be felt. We need to stick together in our efforst.

I am certainly one of those girls. When I heard Sarah stand up and speak at the GOP convention, I too stood up and YELLED “I want to vote for her!”
God Bless you, Sarah. You go, girl! You are not alone! Newsweak has run aground over you!
jonyjoe101 commented:
I’ll vote for Sarah Palin in the next election. Any woman that hunts moose is definitely someone that has my vote. The clock on her 15 minutes of fame hasn’t even started yet.
Foxnews is the one that runs doctored pictures of liberals. MSNBC caught them in the act and they said “Foxnews is making them look uglier than they really are” unquote.

harry flashman commented:
I’d say that Newsqueak, putting the hot Saracuda on their cover, is their attempt to cure their ED (Erudite Dysfunction). They’re using the smokin’ hot Mrs Palin to stiffen up their limp and turgid circulation numbers. Sarah on the cover will sell copies solely on the basis of masturbatory material for the metrosexuals, lesbians and switch hitters that overpopulate The Left. I’m surprised they don’t have a centerfold in this issue. Wanna bet Rosie O’Donnell, Anderson Cooper and Olbermann have a copy in in their underwear drawer? Wonder what Obama has for reading material in the Oval Office bathroom.
They hate and fear her but they’ll use her physical attractiveness to sell their Limperal rag.
You can’t shame a Liberal – just not possible. How can you shame a group that has no honor, lives by no code, has not a clue about matters bigger than themselves and whose only and perpetual concern is that of personal convenience? (Obviously a rhetorical question.)
Stoop Davy Dave commented:
Judith “Cheers to Sarah, I still have my bumper sticker on my car.”
Ha! My car just got totalled. I asked the garage guy for a can of WD-40, and salvaged my McCain / Palin bumpersticker, and YEAH it’s going on my next car.
wanumba commented:
That’s right! Ha!
NEWSWEEK is using Palin to sell their magazine, and too cheap to get their own cover and ’cause she’d probably say, “NEWSWEEK who?” so they are recycling the RUNNER’S WORLD photo of her for their article which came out months ago.
NEWSWEEK has marching orders to tear down Palin but they’re so lazy they are using cut and paste, and as Mark Steyn noted, probably needed 20 “reporters” to committee the thing together.
So, the minions can’t really be counted on anymore to do the job! Few people read RUNNER’s WORLD, but Palin will be cute cute cute at the supermarket check-out. Free publicity for her! Woo-hoo! Ha! Ha!
NEWSWEEK is SOOOO old old Media.
Anyone see the latest SOUTH PARK? “Dances with Smurfs.” BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT!
SOUTH PARK has their have their own website so you can watch the WHOLE episode there. MUST SEE! MUST SEE!
HOW HOW do they get this stuff out so fast??
wanumba commented:
P.S. for SOUTH PARK newbies … hold on, and watch the entire episode for “Dances with Smurfs”. Ya have NO IDEA where’s it headed until the finale, then the whole thing comes together brilliantly.
Solaratov commented:
As much as I hate to disagree with newsweek (them bein’ the smart kids ‘n’ all /sarc/), while Sarah Palin may, indeed be bad news for everyone else (on the left) – she is by NO means bad news for the Republicans [except, of course, RINOs] or Conservatives.
One of the reasons the leftists hate Palin so much is, no matter how they try to tear her down, she just keeps coming back at them, stronger than before. And it’s makin’em crazy!
JAM2 commented:
my, my….
did they have a 15 year old write that?
it’s actually laughable. I understand that the so called MSM elite believe we are lacking in brain power…. but holy cow… do they really believe we are THAT dense?
anonymous too commented:
I am a conservative, but I must point out that this is a reprehensible display of using the flag as a prop and leaning on it. Be honest, if someone you didn’t like did this, you’d all be having fits. Don’t get suckered into double standards.
J.S.Bridges commented:
Better question: How do you solve a problem like NooSqueak?
Simple answer: Don’t bother even looking at – let alone buying or even reading it – and cover it up wherever you happen to come across it with something else, so no one else has to see it, either.
It no longer contains any actual “news”, anyway – just lefty/Demonrat propaganda and Obamaworshipping lies.
Sandy commented:
FWIW, I recommend this website for current news and views regarding SP:

Jackie commented:
Is anyone else worried about Palin’s safety with the liberal media stirring up hatred for her just before she goes off on a nationwide book tour? I think Newsweek is encouraging violence against her from the title of their cover.
anonymous commented:
They (the liberal news media) can’t make this stuff up about her. This Tuesday, just buy her book and read it. The truth will come out from Sarah. Go Sarah!
lyle commented:
The New York Times, Newsweek,
Time, Washington Post, et cetera
Review Sarah Palin’s New Book:
Just go ahead and nominate
That Sarah Palin, who we hate;
And don’t mind us, for heaven’s sake,
Just help yourselves, it’s your mistake.
No, don’t mind us if we repeat
She will be easy to defeat,
Just go ahead, if go you must,
And nominate a total bust.
No really, nominate that tart,
Who isn’t pretty, isn’t smart,
And doesn’t have a law degree,
She’s DOA, we all agree.
Fine, you wanna lose, then choose her,
Help yourselves, and choose a loser,
Serves you right, what are you, blind?
But we don’t give a rat’s behind.
We’re just impartial judges here,
So please, let’s make things crystal clear:
If you bastards choose that loser,
We will slander and abuse her.
bigkahuna commented:
I just watched the Roundtable on ABC and every one of those eleitest egghead jerks discounted her ( with the exception of the black liberal woman I cant name offhand) She just said barely concealing her contempt that you cant discount her. What pisses me off is that They say nobody can take her seriously and she is a JOKE. They are the joke..Obama is a bumbling fool who was a community organizer with ACORN that caused the financial ruin of our country with mortgage crisis, He wrote two Biographies and got elected to the senate with the help and money of chicago style thug politics and George soros money. Sara has done what she has done on her own basically. Obama cant stumble his way through a speech without using a teleprompter. Kind of a metaphor for his whole career HES A PROP. He has made some many dumbass mistakes that if it were PALIN the media would have literally shot their wads every night on tv trying to bury her but they ignore. They are so numerous its embarrassing yet media IGNORE him. He lied on so many campaign promises I call him the liar in chief. Hes a total clusterf*ck at foreign policy. He ignores and berates or friends and cuddles with our enimies. These media pukes have no credibility whatsoever. She may or may not run for Pres and if she does great if not so be it. But she is ands was much more qualified to run for /be President than Dumbo ever was. I would trust her much more she has morals and a common sense President Pantywaist never will. I seriously would not trust this jerkoff to watch my dog much less my country. Just look at his own words and actions and results on the campaign trail, in office and in life! The man is a scumbag and has no class, brains or balls. What he has is an ego the size of Chicago and a bunch of liberal morons who were suckered in and once they are shown what he is doing or has done they cant believe it or buy it. Change is all we will have left in our pocket! 2010 will wake these elitest slobs up.

Sure. On par in reprehensibility as Bill Ayers filthing it up with garbage and dirt and then standing on it.
