Time for another quote check...

Sam Henry:

"It was... gratifying to see seasoned reporter and viper Andrea Mitchell restrained by crowd handlers from getting near Sarah for an interview on one of her wildly popular book tour stops."

Nancy Morgan:

"Now that elite progressives have told us everything we need to know about Palin, they’ve decided to move the national conversation to more weighty matters, such as: Did Ricky Hollywood use too much pancake makeup at a recent GQ party? Inquiring elite minds want to know."

Dr. Robert R. Owens:

"Sarah Palin made the mistake of being a self-made woman who actually accomplished things in her own right instead of riding her husband’s coattails... The slander on the left has poured like a torrent over Sarah Palin and her family, maligning her faith, her service, her personal life, her intelligence and all because she dares to be a successful woman who doesn’t toe the liberal party-line."

Melissa Clouthier:

"Sullivan does produce some useful psychological insight into stalkers and conspiracy theorists. They aren't motivated by facts or reality. And, in fact, engaging them is pure folly as their aims are not truth, but connection to their obsession. The problem for Andrew, is that Sarah Palin is just so far away and detached from him. If only he could be with her. If only he could be her."

Don Surber:

"Judith Warner at the New York Times: 'I got a lesson in civility, grace under pressure and general human fellowship recently from, of all people, Sarah Palin.' Warner then bragged about not reading Going Rogue — illiteracy is the new literacy for the left — and the blog posted quickly devolved into something about Warner defending illegal aliens on the Yellow Brick Road. But for one brief shining moment there was an appreciation of who Mrs. Palin really is."

Karen Northon:

"Newsweek editor Evan Thomas... is completely, indisputably 'in the bag' for Obama... We could expect no less from the grandson of Norman Thomas, a card-carrying American socialist nominated six times as the presidential candidate for the Socialist Party. Though his article, led by a half-page photo of Sarah Palin, begins with two paragraphs devoted to boxing Palin into the corner of 'in-your-face' conservatism, Thomas quickly transitions into a lesson on political compromise. The result yielded by his efforts is little more than a lesson in partisan semantics: Republicans should be willing to compromise for the good of the people. Democrats should not be expected to settle for anything less than what they demand..."

James Taranto:

"An Associated Press dispatch... compares the House and Senate ObamaCare bills. We'd like to compare this dispatch to the AP's dispatch earlier this week "fact checking" Sarah Palin's new book. On a per-page basis, that is, the AP devoted 52 times as much manpower to the memoir of a former Republican officeholder as to a piece of legislation that will cost trillions of dollars and an untold number of lives. That's what they call accountability journalism."

Vocal Minority;

"Let George Lopez deflect the actual problems plaguing Hispanics... by projecting [them] onto Sarah and Todd Palin. Let his left-leaning audience laugh, and let like-minded liberals like Joy Behar give him a forum to spew his hatred against two of the most decent and hard-working people currently in the public eye. Because the truth is, George Lopez and Joy Behar, America is better off with folks like Sarah and Todd Palin than with either of you."

Susan Dale:

"What George Washington would not have liked is how Sarah Palin is being treated in the press. First, he was always gallant with the ladies, and as was natural at that time, he felt that women should be protected. He also loathed the practice, another that is worse now than in the 18th century, of newspapers attempting to destroy political opponents in print. George Washington always reacted badly to criticisms of himself in the press, in large part because they were mostly lies, a practice that is difficult to counter then, and even more so to this day. As George Washington was a great admirer of courage in people, he certainly would have admired the bravery and steadfastness of Sarah Palin, especially in light of the ongoing onslaught of attacks against her that continue without surcease."

David Forsmark:

"So this smart, coherent daytime gabber on the day after Thanksgiving, turned to Whoopie Goldberg, her co-host on ABC’s 'The View' and asked with all seriousness, 'Isn’t it a little bit racist to call it ‘Black Friday?’' No, she wasn’t making a joke– except out of herself... My guess is that Sarah Palin knows Black Friday, black coffee, black crayons and blackmail are not racist terms."

Michelle Malkin:

"Ah, the wit and wisdom of Joy Behar... She has called Sarah Palin 'dumb' and 'not coherent.' Last week, the genius View co-host seriously suggested that 'Black Friday' is RAAAACIST. It was left to economics professor Whoopi Goldberg to explain what 'in the black' means... File Joy Behar’s brain under 'black hole.'"

Jim Hoft:

"The state-run media is reporting tonight that Sarah Palin will not allow foreign reporters at her book signing event. Not true. This was a rumor started by Mall of America officials in Minnesota. The Palin camp never issued the statement... The state-run media is not admitting that their 'English only' reports were bogus."

Patricia Sullivan:

"Sarah Palin really was a breath of fresh air. I remember the day she was announced as McCain’s running mate. We stopped our book work to watch TV. Our oldest daughter, Jennifer, was immediately engaged in the election because of her. I remember watching Sarah walk through crowds with Piper holding her waist and now my youngest is doing the same while I’m talking with voters in my district."

Chris M:

"Jetgate Has Destroyed Sarah Palin's Political Career... SHE FLIES ON JETS !! How could she??? Has she no shame? As these fearless reporters and commentators must have, I took a solemn oath in my youth to never vote for anyone who has ever been inside a jet. Long live propeller republic!"

Little Miss Atilla:

"Andrew Sullivan tripped, manned up, and apologized to Charles Krauthammer. I wonder if he’ll ever do the same with Sarah Palin. Anything’s possible."
