Video Of Press Conference, Samaritan’s Purse
Watch the whole press conference from Governor Palin’s trip to Haiti:
Media Attempts To Demean Palins In Haiti
As I mentioned on my previous post, between Christmas shopping and some needed family time, I am catching up to Governor Palin‘s take by the media. Because no matter what, if the last name is Palin, there’s news that are never good. And it doesn’t help either that it is a charitable, a mission trip to remind Americans to not forget Haiti.
This is one of the multiple videos on her short trip:
It doesn’t matter if your hair needs a little fixer-upper; but c’mon! That, too?
Via C4P and FreeRepublic:
The Associated Press transmitted a photo from Haiti of Palin captioned, “Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, center, has her hair done during a visit to a cholera treatment center set up by the NGO Samaritan’s Purse in Cabaret, Haiti, Saturday Dec. 11, 2010. Palin arrived Saturday in Haiti as part of a brief humanitarian mission. Dieu Nalio Chery / AP”
That photo and caption set off rabid attacks on Palin from the Huffington Post, the U.K.’s Daily Mail and, of course, Palingates.
The photo does indeed show Sarah Palin standing with her husband Todd as a woman whose face is obscured uses two hands to fix the hair on the right side of Palin’s head.
However, one can observe that the woman is white, with her brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, wearing a white shirt with a bulky scarf and dark pants.
In other photos from Saturday, Todd and Sarah Palin’s white, brunette, eldest daughter Bristol, who accompanied her parents on the trip to Haiti, is wearing the exact same clothing and ponytail as the “hair stylist” in the AP photo.
So in a nutshell, the criticism is this:
-
Sarah’s visit was too short; (it would have been a shocker if she stayed longer-or so they wished.)
-
There was no access for the media; (picture proves otherwise.)
-
She was accompanied by FOX News‘ Greta Van Susteren; (so, it was not the first time.)
-
Everything was staged; (in their heads, this was to make Sarah “look good” to the general public.)
-
Complained about a “security lockdown“; (hey, journos, want to catch some cholera-the disease, not the current attitude?) That was a security concern on behalf of Samaritan’s Purse, not Governor Palin.)
-
No itinerary released; (why is this such a big deal?)
-
Emphasis on what Palin wore that day; (casual fashion does not compute and is a very important part of the trip.)
-
During a short presser, Palin refused to answer questions; (because it was a matter of focusing on Haiti, not on politics.)
-
The AP image portrays Palin’s own “hairdresser” (which was Bristol-see above.)
If you spend a few seconds putting yourselves in this situation then you will realize how the media skews information just so it fits their agenda; it doesn’t matter if people die of dehydration or cholera. If kids do get presents, that is barely news-worthy.
Put yourself in this family’s criticism that I numbered above. Would that be fair to YOU? Let’s see-YOU go for a weekend=bad. If an organization has a secured area but YOU are blamed for it=bad, even if it is for the media’s protection of their health. If you travel with people YOU work with and YOU know the Grahams’ family=bad. There’s no schedule for YOUR visit=bad. Doesn’t matter, they track YOU anyways. If YOU wear cargo pants and a T-shirt=bad. If YOU announce that no questions will be answered and focus on Haiti=bad, because there’s no direct bait-and-switch. If YOUR daughter fixes YOUR hair=bad and perhaps that’s not YOUR daughter; YOU brought your OWN hair stylist to Haiti to look mahrvelous.
Is this part of Saul Alinky’s tactics? You betcha!

Pray His Bill Does Not Go Through!!
Let me introduce to you one person I used to respect, when I lived in Puerto Rico – until he introduced a bill to repeal the term limits for US Presidents, so we’d have another Roosevelt in the White House. He’s one of the “pack of three” that watch over whatever happens in Puerto Rico, regardless of his constituents~who, I have to say, are the real Newyorricans.
His name is José Serrano, and of course (D-NY).
This is one issue thata Tea Partiers, Republicans, Fiscal Conservatives, et.al, are NOT watching at all. If we’ll be shoved with a bill down our throats, with Congress majority I would not be surprised AT ALL if his bill is looked into.
Snopes, trying to be fair and balanced, does not do any good to ensure that this bill is repealed, deleted, scratched, shredded, etc. It’s still around from what I see, and that won’t make us feel any easier. At least Snopes gives us the goodies on who has proposed the same crap – Three Democrats and three Republicans.
My problem here, of course, is Obama and his constitutional disses. Obama is quick or slowly (depends how you look at it) car companies, banks, student loans, messing up our healthcare and the forecast so far is amnesty for illegal immigrants. My Gaydar is tilting wildly to the right, and of course this will be endorsed on both sides of the isle.
Please spread the word, because nothing surprises me anymore.
