The real reason behind media attacks against Palin

Conservatives know by now that the dominant liberal media is not just out to criticize Gov. Sarah Palin. They are on a drive to destroy her. But conservatives are missing the reason why.

Below is a story that explains in detail the reason why the media wants to destroy Sarah Palin.

First, my two cents:

There is a double standard with Palin amongst feminists. Her achievements, fearlessness, and rise to one of the most powerful positions any woman has held is overlooked for one reason, she is a conservative. This hardly seems fair given the fact that she would have been considered a saint if she were a Democrat, but the fact is they are the ones leading the attacks, wanting to destroy her credibility and her character. Why? They are after blood, because they know what her being a VP could mean for the future of the far-left Dems, you know, the ones in control of congress, and for that matter, America. If anyone in this election could be painted as "The One", it would be Sarah Palin. Just like in the movie "The Matrix", the agents are after her, and they are hell bent on making sure she doesn't make it to the White House.
