More attacks on Sarah Palin

The leftwing blogs and the media continue to attack Sarah Palin, so much so that I'm not going to wait another week to follow up with my previous cataloguing of Palin attacks.

Amazingly, some in the media deny they have done a lousy job of reporting, or have been on the attack. See this Politico piece, mocking the notion that the media should apologize. Granted, there is legitimate info the media should (and is) discussing, but articles like these deny the vicious attacks against Palin.

Likewise, CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien claims no one on that network has questioned Sarah Palin's ability to be both VP and a Governor. Thanks goes out to Newsbusters for documenting the number of CNN hosts and guests making exactly that charge.

But the most outrageous attack of the day comes from the AP, via the Miami Herald. Their charge is that Palin is a religious kook who tried to cover up her religion.

"Yet John McCain's running mate has deep roots in Pentecostalism, a spirit-filled Christian tradition that is one of the fastest growing in the world. It's often derided by outsiders and Bible-believers alike."

The left and mainstream media first tried attacked Palin because her daughter was pregnant, thinking the Christian right would brand her with a scarlet letter ala the Puritans.  Then they launch attacks that she is a bad mother, assuming that conservatives are all sexist misogynists. Now they are appealing to religious bigotry.  (Note how they disguise their attack, not "we are deriding Pentecostals," but "some people do").
