OS is not a big fan of Sarah Palin, but everyone in the public arena deserves the right to express ideas without fear of being slandered for their troubles. That's why OS doesn't rant about Obama's birth certificate, or conspiracy theories, or the wild allegations made about the bodies the Clintons left in their wake. It's tin-foil-hat nonsense, not worthy of a civil society.
But, this--this is something else entirely. This is a smoking gun, this is about the deliberate attempt to slander someone, and Ms. Palin is utterly justified in crying 'foul'. This stuff, unopposed, drives the stake in the heart of the culture.
Sarah Palin finally took the verbal gloves off, as well she should, when she referred to the journalists of the CBS affiliate in Alaska as 'corrupt bastards'.
They were caught on voicemail in the act of being themselves, deliberately attempting to dig up dirt, any kind of dirt, even if they had to create it themselves, against Joe Miller. It was a conspiracy to slander, enthusiastically undertaken.
Here it is, in both recording and transcript.
Only the most myopically naive among us could believe this to be an isolated incident.
Enough already.
Vote the bastards out.
Demand their minions be fired.
