The Alinsky hit job on Palin
Doug Ross:
The specious claim that Sarah Palin and the Tea Party were somehow linked to the Tucson massacre was a professional, coordinated hit job -- that 'just happened' to get picked up and marketed by the mainstream media.I have noted this in some of my recent posts, but it is good to see that others are also spreading the word about the tactics of the "Hatin' Palin" left. They are trying to marginalize her before she can even run. They are demonizing her the same way they did George Bush, but she is pushing back and we should too.
As I have documented, that false connection started with bloggers at DailyKos and Think Progress using Twitter to push the issue into the mainstream media within hours of the shooting with the help of their followers.
The ruthless efficiency with which the left-wing blogosphere tied Palin to the shooting, and the success of their efforts in equating Palin with mass murder, is a lesson we should not forget.
The Democrats and their mainstream media supporters were put back on their heels in 2010, and are regrouping. And if regrouping requires falsely accusing a major Republican figure of complicity in mass murder, and then amplifying that false accusation for several days in the face of contrary evidence until a substantial portion of the population believes it, they will do it.
But it did not stop with the accusation. When Palin tried to defend herself she was savaged again in the mainstream media.

What is worse, the Establishment Repubicans jumped right in on cue as well--jerks.
