McCain Campaign Won't Allow Media Near Palin Supporters

St. Petersburg Times:

Constantly under the watchful eyes of security, the media wasn't permitted to wander around inside Coachman Park to talk to Sarah Palin supporters. When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of nowhere and confront him or her and say, "Can I help you?''

she operates in a cesspool and it is no surprise..she is vile and this is what lipstick on a pig is all about.shrill and ugly don't win the day...neither do the lies...filth

Let's hear more about all the (boo-hoo, wink-wink) censorship BY the media.

"Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy.""

If Miss moose wearing pitbull lipstick, primadonna cant take the heat...the she needs to get out of the kitchen!!!

Why do they even cover the campaign any more? They should boycot McCain-Palin events until they are given freedom. This is not a campaign that believes in the first amendment.

Politics isn't a beauty contest. If ya can't stand the heat Sarah, go back to Alaska!

Did you notice the picture od that clown at Palin's rally? What is this a hockey game?

[TML]

That photo says volumes about Flailin'.

[lucite]

Exactly...

[Ulysse]

They do not want people at home to hear the hatemongers and racists remarks that would underline what kind of people are assisting their rallies and inciting to violence.

Go see Religious and see why Palin's religious beliefs are dangerous.

One journalist has managed to go there and take the interview:

YIkes- they know her supporters are even dumber than she is... truly frightening.

Is this America? The land of the free? It sounds like China to me: leaders stand up on the giant stage and the sheep line up below and look adoringly to their God-like leaders and drink in every holy word and clap in unison like a bunch of idiots they are. McCAIN-2008 IS FIGHTING AGAINST McCAIN-2000. PALIN: PROMISE OPENNESS BUT SECRETIVE IN GOVERNMENT. GAMBLE OUR COUNTRY WITH TWO ECCENTRIC, RECKLESS MAVERICKS IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

[mazees]

Oh, there you go again, Sarah....

She puts the "vice" in "vice president."

[Ulysse]

Don't you mean the A-S-S in Assistant?

[mazees]

Yes. Yes, I do.

Wow, they convinced "us" that the only tool that the public has to hold government accountable or at least work to make its processes a bit more visible is bad and against us. Did you hear those idiots boo the NYT? It makes me sad. They could convince 20% of the population that food was bad for them and they ought starve.
