Following Palin's lead Fox News uses Trig Truther smear to discredit Andrew Sullivan's article in support of President Obama.

This is how Sullivan responded yesterday:

Fox News is now waging war on the essay. I'm not surprised. Megyn Kelly has declared that I am "not a real journalist." She has also just said that I have written that Trig is not Sarah Palin's child. As longtime readers well know, I took great pains never to state that and merely to ask Palin, given her insane story about the birth of her child, to provide some evidence for it, which she said she would but never did. The Beast has asked for a correction. Real journalists do not tell untruths on air without correcting them. 

What I want to know is why they cannot invite the author of an essay to debate it, rather than two random individuals (including Rich "Starbursts" Lowry) to discuss. Surely that's only fair - unless, of course, I am on a blacklist. So this is an open challenge to Fox News. 

If you want to trash my work, have me on to defend it. Any time, Megyn. Any time. What are you afraid of?

I would be very surprised if they had him on, especially since he can easily out talk them, and also reopen that Sarah Palin's birth story in a way that might be too much for the viewers of Fox News to handle.

I am a little surprised that Fox was willing to use Palin's impulsive response to Sullivan as their jumping off point, since it means that many people will start Googling "Sarah Palin's pregnancy" and that will lead them to all kinds of places that Fox may not want to to go. Including here of course.

So personally I would like ot thank Fox News for the increase in traffic.

Dumb-asses!

  1. Sullivan states in his blog today that Megyn's producer has contacted him regarding an appearance. Perhaps Fox can fire up the Wasilla camera and Palin and Andrew can directly discuss the matter. And she can proudly show him the birth certificate as any wronged mother would gladly do.

    Looks like someone forgot that sage bit of advice: be sure brain is engaged BEFORE putting mouth in gear (or in her case, fingers on Blackberry).

    Hope she's happy with the outcome, which is that a Google search of "Sarah Palin" immediately brings up a whole host of suggestions such as faked pregnancy, pregnancy hoax, pregnancy conspiracy.... couldn't have done better if you were trying to call attention to your (at the very least) questionable decisions and choices at the time of the child's birth.

    Megyn "I'm a dumb blonde" Kelly is one of the dimmest souls on Fox News, and believe me, she has good competition. How she ever made it through law school is a mystery. I'm guessing her law degree is from a mail-order university.

    Roger Ailes gave the green light...this is all about ratings. And advertising dollars.
    The short term future for Palin is bleak, the movie Game Change will take care of that.
    Roger Ailes WILL get his money's worth out of her before she is finally toast. And he will do that by throwing her to media wolves. Ailes is daring the media to look into Babygate. In fact he needs more Palin scandals. That way her contract expires this year with a bang. Bad news sells best, and a Palin TV meltdown or takedown will draw huge ratings. Ailes may not be liked by many people, but he is an old skool expert at this game, in fact he wrote the book! And SP is way too delusional to see what is coming her way. And old Todd, well he is either too stupid or too uncaring to help her out of the way of the trainwreck that is headed for her.

    Wow. I couldn't believe they went there. I'm convinced that Palin is so mentally ill that she would rather have people googling her pregnancy than be ignored.
    The woman is absolutely insane.

    However, her lunatic tweet has given even more attention to the Newsweek article which is great. It has also caused people to wonder exactly why she sent that tweet.

    "That outburst is a reference to Sullivan’s obsession with Palin’s account of the circumstances leading up to Trig’s birth. Of course, the Trig situation wasn’t central to Sullivan’s case against Obama’s dumb critics, or even peripheral. It’s an old story, one that bears no relevance to today’s affairs and that no one really cares about anymore. A forgotten tale. So why on earth would Palin herself drag it back into the dialogue? Any guesses out there?"

    "Exodus" over at the cee-pond goes on and on about how the Supreme Court may rule that our President is not a natural-born citizen because his father was not an American.
    One of her posters then hypothesized that all of the past three years of the Administration's actions would be null and void and the clock would be set back to January, 2009.
    "Exodus" says, if that happened, it would be by Divine Grace and Favor.

    Oh, Lord, if you can make this happen, would you also vitiate any trade agreements and treaties signed since 2008? That will make the rest of the world sit up and take notice of the birthers!
    Will you please bring back to life Osama bin Laden and Quaddifi, since they were taken out by the current Administration? Remember Lazarus, dear Lord. You can do it!
    We know that you only support those candidates to whom you've given the nod for a Presidential run. You crack open doors, you whisper in their ears: you're Supreme!

    Hi Sarah, I left this post on an earlier thread but you must have missed it, so I am posting it again here. I wanted to offer some free advice on reputation management from one Communications Major to another. You're welcome!

    "You see you have an opportunity here to make Andrew Sullivan look like a complete and utter fool, possibly discrediting him enough that this article about our President will be completely ignored by the rest of America. So here's what you do: You call up one of your buddies at Fox News or People magazine or Time or Newsweek or Barbara Walters. Then you tell them you have proof of your "son's" birth from your very loins. A birth certificate, a DNA test -- heck, an interview with a delivery nurse or Cathy Baldwin Johnson or even a picture of you actually in a hospital bed holding the newborn baby. (You have one of those, right? I mean every mother who plans to keep the child they deliver has one of these pictures.) Then when your story comes out everyone points at that silly gay man and his pro-Satan, er, I mean pro-Obama article and laughs and laughs.

    Just think of all the media exposure!!! You would get millions upon millions of clicks, thousands or articles written saying how Sarah Palin is the most attacked woman on the planet!! Imagine all the negative articles that would be written about that asshole Gryphen at AH or IM or whatever that stupid blog is? Come on, Sarah! Do it! Do it now!!!

    Oh right. I forgot. You can't. There ARE no pictures of you holding that baby in your hospital bed. There is no nurse or doctor willing to say that they saw that baby come out of your loins. There is no birth certificate with April 18, 2008 on it with the name Trig Paxson Palin. Silly me."

    Fox will never allow a debate on a subject that might prove them wrong to their viewers, although their viewers wouldn't listen and believe anything they heard unless it came from Megyn Kelly. They would just shut out what they heard from Sullivan. I admire him for challenging Megyn Kelly to a debate, but I also wouldn't claim she'll be easy. She is a lawyer and has been trained to think on your feet and to be prepared for a challenging debate. Both will have problems proving their stance, and a debate will come more down mostly to Sullivan's character, which would give Megyn the advantage. Her only means of attack will be innuendoes and insinuations on what Sullivan has written in the past, which doesn't sound as if he has actually accused Palin of anything, just questioned her pregnancy from her description of her trip home. BTW, Palin once said she would release her medical records which she did not provide which makes me question if she is not trying to hide a mental condition.

    Governor Sarah Palin scammed the state for family trips, per diem for living at home, paying for Tri-G's phony birth, putting unqualified high school friends in high paying jobs and everything else.
    Governor Sarah Palin also created legislation that allowed her to collect tax money for filming Sarah Palin's Alaska then she quit and took over a million dollars in tax film money and now wants more for Todd's reality show.

    VP Candidate Sarah Palin scammed john McCain into thinking she was an energy expert and the whole time she didn't know her ass from a hole in the ground. Those poor dumb ass campaign workers had to school Sarah in 4th grade history and political events and had hide her ignorant ass from the media.

    My one concern is that this may be a coordinated setup for the release of some proof to discredit Trig-truthers in an effort to block the release of Fred's book. (note that I still consider myself somewhat agnostic on the subject)

    Initially yesterday's tweet was just stupid, impulsive Palin mouthing of again, in an ad-hominem attack that did nothing to further any argument.

    When a Fox anchor mentions the same line of attack, I can't help but wonder if some collusion is afoot.

    I guess my one piece of advice to Ms. Palin is that if you are planning to release evidence of some sort, it better be real.

    Your instincts in not doing so to date (whether it be because there was none, or you just didn't feel like doing it) have been good, and have served your purpose.

    If you are planning to release something and what you plan to release can be discredited, you will be finished as a celebrity in addition to being a politician.

    If the faked Trig pregnancy/birth saga gets more attention, Palin loses. I don't care how much FauxNews tries to discredit Sullivan, if they continue down this path, they will spectacularly crash and burn.

    FauxNews stands to lose even more than Palin does. If the facts concerning Palin's hoax emerge and it is shown that FauxNews were active participants in this fraud, they would be finished. That they are wading into this fight which is fraught with peril for them indicates that they are not run by the most intelligent people around.

    I think Sarah Palin is trying to come up with a new, spectacular distraction to wean Fox and Andrew Sullivan from a frank and open discussion of whether Sarah Palin's insane birth story warrants investigation.

    Fortunately even slow-learner Sarah Palin realizes that yanking down her stupid tweet just focuses more attention to her mentally unstable state. The tweet remains glowing in its stupidity at the top of Palin's twitter stream.

    Given Sarah Palin's love of bus tours, a tour of the Super Tuesday states might be a good distraction. Or some paparazzi photos of Palin wearing items with various words blacked out with a sharpie. Another faked marathon run, Palin using the new hand-held auger, a trip to suffering humanity in a disaster zone are all tried and true distractions.

    But I'm thinking really spectacular distraction, like a forged birth certificate and a full-blown media press conference with good doctor that "delivered" Trig.

    But, sadly, probably the best Sarah Palin can come with is a tragic family illness to drown that stupid tweet in a flurry of sympathy for the queen of victim-hood, Sarah Palin.

  50. "More debates, more vetting of candidates. Because we know the mistake made in our country four years ago, with having a candidate that was not vetted to the degree he should have been," ~ Sarah Palin

    Wow, is she a classic case of projection or what??!! How can anyone in their right mind think that Obama was not vetted enough? He'd been campaigning since 2007 during the 2008 election! He went thru an entire Democratic primary process against Hillary Clinton. Much like the GOP primary - any candidate not worth their salt would have withered after 2 weeks in the harsh media spotlight. Palin was introduced in August/September of 2008 - that was TWO MONTHS before the election! Before that, no one knew who the hell she was (outside of GOP insiders). And for the short time she was in the public eye she made a royal jackass of herself!!

    Also....I wonder if Palin realises that when people hear her say stuff like this, they think of HER in 2008 as the candidate that was NOT vetted at all??? When did Palin hold an open press conference in 2008? Not once. She did 2 interviews on her own (both were a disaster) then she did the VP debate (also a disaster, the bar was so low, if she didn't vomit all over herself, it was considered a win) and that was it. The next interview she did was with McCain and she was tight-lipped fist clenched the entire time. Seriously, this woman's mental illness is truly staggering. She needs help and Fox doesn't even give a shit! They're just using her to build viewership....wow.

    I don't know what Sarah hoped to gain by calling Sullivan names, let alone calling attention to the story of "who gave birth to Trig." Some stories and some people must really get under her skin so that instead of keeping quiet and letting things blow over, Sarah just has to respond.

    Is this a distraction from the HBO show, "Game Change," due to air on March 10? Is Sarah's juvenile name calling a distraction from the revelations that the Palins own as many as ten houses and pieces of real estate worth millions of dollars? How in the world does a young girl with no talent and no job afford two pieces of lake property, let along another house in Arizona?

    Does Sarah need to keep playing the victim to encourage donations to her PAC? She needs to tease people into thinking that she still might run in order to keep that cash stream coming in. Maybe the distraction is that she is required to make a public accounting of her PAC, including all of those LLC expenditures to shell companies. Is Sarah another Romney, secreting money off shore so no one know that she is rich while she pretends to be "just folks?"

    Fox may have revived that Trig Truther nonsense in order to boost sagging ratings. They have become the PR agency for the Republican party, and as they have become more and more extreme, they must be losing any reasonable, moderate thinking Republicans, if there are any left. I bet that Sarah's ratings are dropping, too. She looks as if she is getting more and more desperate.

    Rich Lowry, "real journalist," on Sarah Palin in 2008:

    "I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it."

Why would loving mother Sarah who protects her family like a grizzly mama bear text out a message for the world to see that might lead people to expound on the subject again? She doesn't care that her kids and family may have to go through that harsh reality again and become the subjects of evening news and talk show conversations, nationally?

    What the hell is wrong with that woman?

  55. I predict one of two ways this interview will go if it actually occurs.

    1. Megyn Kelly will ask Andrew a question, then as he tries to answer it, she will immediately talk over him as fast as she can so people can't understand what he is saying.

    Or

    2. She will disagree with him but let him bring up the damning information. She may even ask questions that appear that she disbelieves what he is saying could be true, but actually lets him get in more facts.

    The later scenario would only occur if Rupert Murdoch really is fed up with Sarah and is willing to throw her under the bus in a back-handed fashion to get some ratings out of her before her contract is up.

    Murdock is aware that she faked Trig's pregnancy. Remember, Fox News bought the copy rights to Ellen Frank's documentary that shows Sarah wearing the square shaped pillow under her shirt. After they obtained the rights, they chose not to show it.

    I don't remember the exact date, but Andrew has the picture of Sarah taken at the library at the end of March 2008 where she signed a bill. The picture shows her with a completely flat abdomen. The documentary that Fox News has was taken 13 days after that picture.

    It will be interesting to see which way this goes.

    Wow, see Bristol and Willow order some native servers around...."

    Personally I think Wasilla teenagers should pay a visit to Bristol's new Lake Lucille house like Willow and the Colony girls visited the vacant houses in Alaska.

    Why not? Bristol was a party animal in her high school days and now has a pad to throw her own all night keggers!

    The plus side to this is that Bristol doesn't have to screw in a canvas tent in Alaska anymore.

    HOUSE PARTY???

    What do you say Bristol?

  59. What I noticed on the cover of Newsweek, was an article about Rick Santorum's wife. That is one juicy story. Bet she practiced birth control when she lived with an abortion provider years before she met Rick. It was only after she married Rick that they both became über Catholics.

    The irony is thick in the GOP.

    This is GREAT news this morning! So happy, happy, happy.

    The controversial Keystone Pipeline will reportedly be denied by President Obama, according to Fox News.

    The State Department is expected to vote against the pipeline this afternoon. Transcanada will however be allowed to reapply with an alternate route going through Nebraska.

    The project has been extremely controversial for two main reasons.

    I wish Andrew would start naming names, circumstances and places. He needs to say point blank that Cathy Baldwin Johnson was a family practice physician and there is NO WAY IN HELL she induced a high risk pregnancy into labor at MatSu. There is no way in hell MatSu would allow a high profile, high risk pregnant woman to give birth prematurely to a DS infant in a hospital without a neonatologist or a NICU.
    Jusmt call the out on the lies and MAKE THEM DEFEND themselves. They simply CAN NOT. The more the truth is spoken, with reliable proovable standards and guidelines to back up what he is saying, the more this hoax will unravel. Palin's story is simply NOT defendable without doctors and hospitals losing their asses!!!!

    LOOK AT THE TICKER below the story on Fox News!!! On the TV screen, it says, "Romney wouldn't be delaying the release if he had nothing..." I'm sure the next word is "hide."

    Talk about IRONY! She's been demanding that Romney show his tax records. And, in this story she's griping about people talking about Trig's birth. Yet, she refuses to do exactly what she demands that Romney do -- she refuses to provide Trig's birth certificate or hospital records. And, it's all there in one photo.

    From The Annals Of Chutzpah

    "More debates, more vetting of candidates. Because we know the mistake made in our country four years ago, with having a candidate that was not vetted to the degree he should have been," - Sarah Palin, the vice presidential nominee in 2008 whose selection process was negligible, who never released her medical records, and who never gave a single press conference before Election Day.

    My sentiments exactly. I have always felt that Ailes will recoup his investment losses on the Quitter by any means available. She's obviously not going to be elected to any office, so the revenue stream there has dried up.

  70. Well...Megyn is about to make Baldy's life much more interesting! Thanks Megyn! After that bizarre ass interview last night with InSannity I don't think I can call her Baldy anymore! I think I'm gonna have to start calling her Gov Crackhead from now on!

    She acts just like a crackhead too...babbling nonsense, scratching and digging at her self...ala Tyrone Biggums...soon she'll find herself on Joe Rogan's Fear Factor eating moose shit for a couple hundred dollars! "Crack is a hell of a drug"!

    Oh and one more thing...looks like they ironed out Gov Crackhead's neck...because it look all smoothed out...like a linen napkin..no wrinkles...but the makeup was a little off towards her chesticle area...at least somebody is listening to the bloggers!

    PS...and I think "Tom Joad" is onto something...Roger "Jabba the hut" Ailes is about the MONEY and RATINGS...I've been wondering why her big headed mug has been all over FAKE News these last couple of weeks...could Roger be setting the Crackhead up?

  71. Willow's engagement is obviously because she is pregnant. It's the Valley Way. So, she too joins her older siblings as a high school drop-out, pregnant before marriage, unambitious grifter.

    Oh, those Palin Family Values. If it weren't for Sarah's PAC and her FOX gig, they'd all be on welfare and food stamps. (Actually, the Palins fit the "profile" of the average welfare/food stamps recipient better than Newty would have us believe.)

  72. @ Tom Joad --

    I think you've nailed it.

    He's going to let Palin hang herself and then he can terminate Fox's contract with her -- save him $$$.

    She will, of course, threaten to sue for wrongful dismissal.

    It would all be pure entertainment, if her shameful legacy wasn't continuing to be played out by the GOP.

    Sarah Palin is the poster child for The Unvetted.

    Sarah Palin is the cautionary tale for The Unvetted.

    Sarah Palin, The Unvetted.

    For the past three years, she has been performing her dance of the seven veils, over and over again, half revealing, but always hiding that titilating truth, almost visible but always just out of reach. "Just put the dollars in the thong, guys - wink wink "

    Sarah, The Unvetted One, is nothing more than a seductive narcissist.... who was wrongly put into the national spotlight (unvetted)... where she has continued her lap dance politics... to the detriment of our political process and national image.

    Incredibly ironic that she would be so vocal about vetting, Sarah Palin The Unvetted One.

    You can bet that FOX would not take this approach w/o the approval of Palin. All she (Palin) has to do - and, has always had to do - to combat this supposed 'untrue' gossip - is SHOW THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

    This discussion would have been over long ago if she had done it!

    The Palins would disagree with you about when one is ready for marriage.

    The Palins feel the way they determine when they are ready for marriage is the month (at the most) after they have missed their first period.

    That's God's signal its time to get married.

    Palin has been dropping lower and lower on the prestige scale for her Fox appearances. Her latest interviews have been with that judge woman whom I had never even heard of.

    Then on air the other day the judge caught her totally unprepared for the interview and Palin even admitted that she hadn't watched the whole debate on which she was commenting. In other words, she hadn't done her homework.

    I think Fox has had it with Sarah and they are throwing her under the bus. If they make a big stink about babygate and of course Palin can't come up with any evidence that she gave birth, their ratings will go up and Palin will be completely finished.

    I love Andrew Sullivan! The man is an absolute GENIUS. He writes a story that doesn't mention Sarah Palin at all, but is focused on President Obama (very well done, btw) and he uses his power of "reverse reverse reverse psychology", knowing Sarah couldn't DARE resist stepping in the limelight and sucking some of his oxygen, She impulively grits her teeth, fires up the twitter box, and nails Sullivan to the cross, blaming his "trig truther" (which he isn't technically) stance for the slings and arrows of outrageous truths she's had to deal with all this time.

    And Megyn Kelly smells blood in the water (RATINGS!) to attack Sullivan's story being on the front page of Newsweek.

    To recap, Andrew Sullivan knew that writing a story about Obama would directly lead to Sarah opening the can of worms regarding Trig's nativity story. The man's a genius, that woman is an idiot!
