Latest Media Created Palin Scandal Comes Crashing Down: She Brought Her Hair Stylist to Haiti… It Was Her Daughter Bristol
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, December 12, 2010, 10:22 PM
Sarah Palin traveled to Haiti this weekend and brought a hair stylist.
At least that’s how the AP reported.
Kristinn at Free Republic reported:
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin traveled to Haiti this weekend as a guest of the Rev. Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse to spotlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the earthquake and cholera-stricken Caribbean (half an) island nation. Instead she has found herself embroiled in a scandal, accused of bringing a hair stylist on the trip to make herself look good for the cameras and “photo-ops.”.
The Associated Press transmitted a photo from Haiti of Palin captioned, “Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, center, has her hair done during a visit to a cholera treatment center set up by the NGO Samaritan’s Purse in Cabaret, Haiti, Saturday Dec. 11, 2010. Palin arrived Saturday in Haiti as part of a brief humanitarian mission. Dieu Nalio Chery / AP”
That photo and caption set off rabid attacks on Palin from the Huffington Post, the U.K.’s Daily Mail and, of course, Palingates.
The photo does indeed show Sarah Palin standing with her husband Todd as a woman whose face is obscured uses two hands to fix the hair on the right side of Palin’s head.
However, one can observe that the woman is white, with her brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, wearing a white shirt with a bulky scarf and dark pants.
In other photos from Saturday, Todd and Sarah Palin’s white, brunette, eldest daughter Bristol, who accompanied her parents on the trip to Haiti, is wearing the exact same clothing and ponytail as the “hair stylist” in the AP photo.
That’s right, what the Palin-hating AP and others fail to report is that the “hair stylist” is Bristol Palin.
Sarah Palin sits with her husband Todd Palin, Franklin Graham and her daughter Bristol Palin in Haiti.

The liberal progs are so consumed with hate their lives mus be a living hell. These are the people of the 60s filled with peace and love?/

Beclowned. Next it’ll be mean old Sarah entrapped the faithful reporter.
MrGoodWench commented:
When the cheating b@$tard = John Edwards went to Haiti, did he take his hair-stylist with him ? What about Bill Clinton ? He is known to care for his hair @ airports ? And them both are not even women ( or so I’m told ) .
What a deranged bunch of hateful dimwits, getting a heart attack over nothing !
listingstarboard commented:
AP also HAD to comment on Palins “designer sunglasses” in another post. Do they care what glasses Angelina Jolie or Bono wear on their “humanitarian ” missions? Do they care that the First Water Buffalo wears thousand dollar blouses and 500 dollar tennis shoes ? It has reached a level of bias I have never seen before.
GLM In Ohio commented:
Jeez … these morons on the left are OBSESSED with their hatred for Palin. There isn’t a single thing she does that goes un-criticized. Of course, all this hatred is telling. They’re scared to death of her, and rightly so. She makes their best candidates look like a bunch of spoiled children. I don’t know if she’s planning to run for President, or if she’s electable, but God I love her ….
NeoKong commented:
What is even worse is that I read she actually ate a sandwich while she was there. Imagine that. Where does she get off eating a sandwich while those around her are suffering….?
Next thing you know we’ll find out she smuggled in some toilet paper.
bigkahuna commented:
The deranged media are almost so funny and pathetic you just want to laugh but its getting so irrational that it shows they are just plain sick. These people are mentally ill. They are so filled with hate that nothing that a person does can ever be seen as anything but bad and have a evil motive. As opposed to all the positive libs do just for the sake of doing good.
The thing is what they accuse her of is what they are usually the most guilty of. They are scum but it is funny when they are exposed and made to look like the total morons they are.
I love it on Rush when he plays a list of 20 or so reporters/ media left wing operatives all using the exact same talking points and even same words over and over that were sent directly from team Obama or whatever liberal loon is in charge of sending out the media’s original thoughts for the mindless twits.
Mary commented:
Can’t wait to see how she turns their hatred back on them this time. But they’ll just keep falling into the same trap because their hate is rivalled only by their stupidity.
bigkahuna commented:
You would think if they really wanted to marginalize her they would ignore her and reduce the publicty and name recognition she gets but they are like rabid dogs and are just so crazed with hatred they cant help themselves
PhilipJames commented:
One of Sarah Palin’s many talents is enticing the liberals to make total asses of themselves and they stumble over themselves in the rush to do just that.
Think about this if you can absorb it…. for over two years almost the entire lame stream media has tried to destroy Sarah Palin… working every day and most of the night to try to bring her down. And they have not suceeded. They have made her stronger.
Think about that.
What other nationally recognized person that you can think of would have been able to do what she has done? The most vetted political person in the world. Possibly in history.
And her numbers are getting better. Think of that… better.
Sarah Palin is like God compared to the Devil. Ultimately, she will always triumph. And for those times when it looks like she has lost, there is always a higher reason for it.
It is inevitable… Sarah Palin could be the President if she so choses. And if she doesn’t, I won’t hold it against her. I will be disappointed, because it would cause upheaval in both parties, but it is her choice to make.
sliderblaze commented:
does this fall under the category of too stupid to check or too hateful to care? man are these people stupid, i was reading some of the comments at the huff post, i think maybe its a combo of both
daveinboca commented:
The only way to describe the sick obsession that the LAMESTREAM MEDIA has with Sarah and all her doings is EPIC FLAIL…!
Ha ha ha, you make sane people laugh with all your douchebag antics, you Alinsky whores….!

++++++++
How sick is this ?
The photographer MUST have known who was ” doing ” Sarah Palin’s hair. There is no way the AP photog didn’t know it was Bristol. NO WAY
And yet he/she chose to deliberately LIE for sensationalism.
When we look at that picture, it doesn’t even look like someone is ” styling ” her hair. It looks like Bristol is placing a ( holding) clip on the back of Sarah’s hair so that her hair don’t fly all around her head. And anyone who has tried to do that without a mirror will tell you that unless you have eyes on the back of your head, its best to have someone else do it .
How very sick.

Amazing! Those lefties never fail to put their feet in their own a’holes every effing time.

CV1 commented:
Sarah is perfect just the way she is. She doesn’t even need to have her hair done. The left obviously sees her as a clear and present danger as she has had a major impact on exposing Obama for the fraud that he is and helping to right the last elections.
As someone else said, “I’m not sure if she’s planning to run or if she’s electable”…but thank God she came along when she did!
Duke commented:
Looks like an ad hominem Palin-bash by the AP. a. The photographer and story writer must have known it was Bristol; they just chose one particular photo to obscure Brfistol’s face. b. The wording of the quoted paragraphs is factually accurate but very awkward; it seems forced in order to make the John Edwards-type charge without actually saying so.

Thanks Mary, this just had to be repeated.
Jackie Grant commented:
PhillipJames – I agree with your assessment of Sarah Palin – I love her!! My dream team for America would be Christie/Palin or Palin/Christie. What a joy it would be for our country!!
pst314 commented:
The liberal propagandists in the legacy media know that they can get away with telling lies, because the majority of their readers and viewers will never see the corrections that appear on the internet.
squeaky commented:
how many times do they have to go to the well and find it dry before they move on? for the hangers on perpetually hoping for the gotcha moment – pathetic. sorta like spending hours trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and then coming back the next day and trying again….maybe this time. stuck on stupid.
squeaky commented:
“majority of their readers and viewers will never see the corrections that appear on the internet.” amazingly, some don’t want to hear it. they have blinders on that stop them from considering anything beyond what they want to believe. i’ve pointed out competing points that people weren’t obligated to buy but consider and all i get are blank stares. considering alternate theories conflicts with their view. some people have to get burnt – forwarned is forarmed.
USMC Thomas commented:
Once again, all the MSM accomplishes is displaying to to the rest of America their childish liberal biases. They just make Sarah more popular than ever.
RedBeard commented:
Lefties don’t hate Palin nearly as much as they fear her. They are absolutely terrified of her. One petite woman has them all quaking like they’re under the doomsday threat of Skynet and the terminators.
Overheard in the AP situation room: “Listen, and understand. Palin is out there! She can’t be bargained with. She can’t be reasoned with. She doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And she absolutely will not stop, ever, until we and our leftie agenda are DEAD!”
It seems obvious that the leftie media types are just plain stupid, not realizing how much power over their lives and careers they have voluntarily granted to Sarah Palin.
toongoon commented:
Who would beleive that Sarah would need a personal hairstylist anyway? Now Billary or Bela Pelosi on the other hand should not go out in public anywhere without a full reconstruction….. ooh, just the thought makes me… ugh gotta go…….
unseen commented:
bigkahuna,
the big “secret” is they can not ignore her. They did not create her. Palin sells newspapers. brings eyeballs. If the MSM would “ignore” Palin her star power would demand others cover her because people WANT to know about her. So if the MSM would ignore her free market capitalism would ensure others would meet the demand for news about Gov Palin. So the MSM dare not not report on her. Since they must report on her they decide to trash her in her reports which seems not to be working either………
Ginger commented:
They say when some one mocks another that they have low self esteem. They FEAR her! They know that she is the one who will “Right” the “Wrongs” that this socialist party has done to our country!
Amen
BurmaShave commented:
AP: Absolutely Pathetic
Ginger commented:
btw… We the tax payers are paying for the Michelle Soetoro to take her hair stylist and make up artist every where she goes! There is an awfully lot of people who had better “sweep off” their own door steps.
GLM In Ohio commented:
Here’s a disturbing example of just how deeply rooted and devastating this “Palin hating” sickness really is ….
I have a friend I grew up with. We lived in the same neighborhood together, went to school, and Boy Scouts together, and have remained friends for over 40 years. We’ve had the occasional discussion about politics, but he’s a union member, and very liberal, so I usually give him my two-cents worth and leave it at that. Last week, he called me and left a message, asking me for advice on a home improvement project he was working on. I was extremely busy when he called, and it didn’t seem urgent, so I decided to call him back on Saturday morning. Early Saturday morning, he called me again, and left a second message, eviscerating me for not calling him back, and accusing me of ignoring him because he voted for Obama. He went on to say that he was hurt and offended, and that he could never ever vote for that “nasty Sarah Palin” so if voting for her was going to be a condition of our friendship, then I was an a**hole and our friendship was over. I was pretty much dumbfounded, and had to listen to the message several times before I finally concluded that he was serious…..
I’ve never made anything, political or otherwise, a condition of our friendship, so I have no idea where he came up with this. He became totally unhinged over a simple misunderstanding. I can only assume that the reason he’s so upset with me is because I voted for McCain/Palin, but I’ll probably never know. I sent him an e-mail, and tried to smooth the situation over, but he hasn’t responded. I just can’t imagine how he could be so consumed by hatred for someone he’s never even met that he would be willing to throw away a friendship of 40 years.
It certainly gives us a stark insight into the power and influence the media has on these people doesn’t it?
Charlie commented:
Yeah, what you wrote Buffalobob. Who ever planned this Haiti trip for Palin is a genius. The press can’t ignore her, and to cover her they also have to cover Obama’s “showcase” rescue of Haiti. In the back drop of Haiti’s current misery and suffering, the petty criticisms of Palin appear mindblowing incredibly petty. There is no way the MSM is going to come out any dignity, let alone credibility on this. It’s pay back for the turkey farm.
Chisum commented:
From Doug Ross:
QOTD: “Sarah Palin freaks out the media — especially the feminists — like a combined Ronald Reagan and Clarence Thomas. She is their 9/11.
One of the promises of Palin for president is all the laughs we’ll get for eight whole years if she gets elected and Obama goes down.
Just think of it: eight years of belly laughs. Guaranteed.
The Secret Service will have to triple its POTUS detail, because ranting lefties are dangerous. All the would-be assassins of the 20th century came from the ranting left — shooting JFK, Robert Kennedy, Reagan, and Ford. Not a single conservative. Not a single normal person. ” — James Lewis, “The Charisma of Sarah Palin”

Give me a break. Leave this gal alone. That is DEFINATELY her daughter in the picture fixing her hair.

Liberalism is indeed a mental illness……
chuck in st paul commented:
Another lame assed attempt at moral equivalence by the leftards. Truly pitiful.
dwd commented:
Man, they REALLY hate her! To be grasping at straws like this in order to find a reason to vent hate and outrage, they really must be worried about or scared of her… it’s so great that she usually weathers the storm and comes out unscathed, and sometimes stronger, from these attacks.
Cher Cropper commented:
What scares the leftists/liberals most is this women could be the first female POTUS and she is a Republican. In their minds the first female POTUS has to be a Democrat. Note to them: you probably blew your chance when you voted in Obama over HRC in the primary elections. Obama has set your party back about 30 yrs.
USMC Thomas commented:
I love that Sarah pushes aside the bitter, hateful personal attacks against her and doesn’t return their hatefulness in kind, classy lady. And that infuriates the libturds even more.
Andreas K. commented:
Oh my. They are really scared of her.
