UPDATED: Will the press question the "Palin-Farah ticket"?

To date, the answer continues to be "no."
The Beltway press still refuses to raise questions about Palin's decision to attend the first annual Tea Party convention in Nashville next month and share the stage with a fringe radical like Joseph Farah, who is an avowed gay and Muslim-hating extremist, and whose wingnut publication, WND, remains obsessed with the loony, and thoroughly debunked, conspiracy claim that Obama was not born in America.
Naturally, Farah and WND are thrilled by the upcoming Palin appearance and are trumpeting the "Palin-Farah ticket." And typically when high-profile politicians align themselves with fringe radicals, media unpleasantness ensures. But so far, it's crickets from the press.
Just look at this lengthy Politico article headlined, "Palin's tea party raises eyebrows." It completely ignores the thorny question of Palin teaming up with a loon like Farah. For Politico, that issue's a non-starter. But trust me, if a very high-profile Democrat ever agreed to share a platform with the left-wing radical equivalent of Farah (if that person even existed), all hell would break loose in the press.
How they darah
one is a quiter
the other just bitter
"Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me." He was referencing Obama's backing away from him of course. Im not even Jewish and I can see the animosity in those words. Anyone want to reply and say that this guy, and those words he is quoted using is not radical or racist? Many of you voted for a man who hung out with this guy every Sunday, and even had his daughters in the front row of some of those crazy sermons. This was all in the media then, and still you guys over looked it, because then it was more important to getting your ideologies represented in the white house. How is that working for you idiots? Have your lives changed since? Did you all get better paying jobs? Probably not.
The blog complains about Sarah attending some community organizing rally with radicals the likes of J. Farah. Give me a BREAK! Google him for yourselves. Sure he has an opposing view, that's why he is attending Tea Parties. So if his views are too right wing-ish for those of the extreme left, I suppose he would be considered a radical, but Lets be clear. A radical is a racist the likes of J. Wright. Don't lose sight of that fact. So, community organizers like yourselves have no right bitching about communities organizing. Grow up and try considering the facts about your Guy in the White House, and some of his to ties to radicals. Wright is just one of many. Try referencing more of them them in your next blog for full disclosure. It would go a long way in bringing this hack website some credibility. Right now it just lends to the old phrase, "you can't believe everything you read". Also, the left has a majority in Washington now with the task of representing leftist views. Republicans cannot even filabuster. So the idea of your representatives having a hard time passing legislation for health care reform, or any other whacked out idea is not to be blamed on the representatives for the right, rather it is due to the difficult task of convincing others on the left to go along in forcing big spending down the throats of Americans. Gee, I wonder why?
Let that marinate for a while. Then try requesting the owner of this website to post better arguments with facts to support the accusations, instead of ideological bias.
Liberalism is a mental disorder, get help or grow up!

Until we all stand up to it and email them and keep after them, the double standards, the unchallenged lies by the right that are reported as fact, the manipulation of reports and videos to make the democrats look like fools and the republicans like they are the best ever, will continue
