The McCain Street USA Tour, which will take the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, to small towns across the heartland, made a stop in Cedarburg, a small town outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.Here, the 30 or so reporters and crew assigned to work the tour, were walking back to their buses to join the McCain motorcade when hundreds of townspeople started yelling "Be fair!" and pointing fingers as they raucously booed them. The crowd was not menacing or threatening, but was clearly angry.
"Stop lying! You are all liars! Tell the truth!" one woman yelled from the front of the pack.
"You're telling lies! Stop the lies!" one man yelled. Asked why the crowd was so angry, Linda J. Green of Mequon, WI said, "I'm thinking the press is very biased. I think the press is very liberal and very slanted against the McCain-Palin ticket. Would you ask a man if his kids were being taken care of while he's out campaigning?"
She said the coverage of Mrs. Palin is flat-out sexist. "The media has called her a sexy librarian look. Would you say that Obama is a sexy Will Smith look? They called her Tina Fey's sister, only sexier. I think you're being very sexist."
Another woman questioned local television coverage, which differed for the Republican and Democratic Party conventions. "Why did the networks not carry the Republican convention, when they carried the Democratic convention?" she asked. "They do it because they're liberal," a man chimed in.
The scene was reminiscent of one that occurred spontaneously at the RNC, when Mrs. Palin accused political pundits and columnists of misinformation. With thousands of Republicans in the huge Xcel Center in Minneapolis, the crowd turned ugly. Hundreds began pointing at a group of reporters and booing; some chanted "CNN!" while others yelled "MSNBC!"
The national press corps is beginning to get a taste of the ire they have generated among a large percentage of the American public over their treatment of Sarah Palin. It will take some longer than others to grapple with the enormity of the disaster they have created for their failing industry.
Baltimore Sun columnist Susan Reimer is not happy at the amount of attention her malicious, error-filled September 1, 2008 column A woman - but why this woman? has drawn.
Reimer said, “A handful of people wrote to say that I had captured exactly their reaction to the Palin nomination. But the rest of the responses were vehement or venomous... And more than 316,000 people viewed the column on The Baltimore Sun Web site. That number -- more than 100 times the attention I normally receive -- actually frightened me.”
Millions of men and women of good conscience feel inspired by the ticket of McCain-Palin, and they will honor the service of Senator McCain and the leadership of Governor Palin with their vote in November. Hope and change are nebulous subjects. Real reformers with a record of service, legislation, executive leadership, and pure patriotism for the causes of all Americans will win votes when they have two civic servants willing to do the work of the people.
Country First.
That is the consequence of the venom of the liberal, lying mainstream media and the Party of Obama.

National press corps? No.
No, they forfeited the right to be called press years ago.
It's just taken this election cycle to show how truly undeserving of being called journalists or news media.
Shills? Yes?
Obama propagandists? Yes.
Mean-spirited, small-minded, unprofessional, vicious, liberals and fascists? Yes.
Enemies of the people? Yes.
Fifth columnists? Yes.
Anything, anything but press or news media or journalists.
Thing is, it'll take at least a generation for them to be weeded out--and that means from the so-called J schools.
BTW: Thanks for your kind words about the post at American Sentinel. Privileged to have been invited to participate.
Best.
CKA,
