Attacking the messenger

It was interesting reading how the liberal left attacked the wife of Sen. Joe Lieberman focusing displeasure with Sen. Lieberman’s stance on the Healthcare bill and how some reporters attempted to defend Sen. Lieberman’s wife. What got my attention was the fact that I don’t recall reading similar articles on defending Sarah Palin and the vicious personal attacks leveled against her by these same liberal factions. Attacking a position on an issue is one thing, but personal attacks are never warranted. However, the personal attacks against Sarah Palin and her family continued not only during the campaign but also up to this day. When you incur a personal debt of nearly $500,000 dollars as well as the millions spent by the state of Alaska to defend some of the outlandish allegations shows that the liberals have troubling attacking the issue and find it easier to attack the person with the hope of maybe being successful in forcing financial ruin upon a person. In Sarah Palin’s case it has not worked but has only encouraged an increase in her popularity, as well as her bank account, something the left wing liberals were not counting on. Remember the 2010 elections.
