Special "Hairbrained: Black is the colour of the true left's heart" Edition
*

Da Techguy:

"Hairbrained Palin Panic on the left... On the right we are having a lot of fun with this idiocy but if you want to have real fun read the comments at the Daily Mail, Huff Po and at Palingates before the 'hairdresser' is revealed to be her daughter. I suspect Palin’s visit generated a whole lot of money for charity, but the left can’t bear to contemplate that. Nobody does hate like the tolerant left, well except for maybe the Fred Phelps family business church but that's it. Guys, get a life!"

William A. Jacobson at Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion:

"I Love It When PDS Sufferers Get Humiliated..."

John Hayward at Human Events:

"Does Palin’s entourage include a high-priced hairstylist like Kristof, the guy who used to give Bill Clinton $200 haircuts while Air Force One sat on the tarmac, causing multi-million dollar traffic snarls at major airports? No, this mysterious figure is recognizable to a handful of trained observers… and any of the 24 million people who watched 'Dancing With the Stars.' It’s none other than Bristol Palin, Sarah’s daughter. This photo set off a tidal wave of rabid attacks in the intellectually-challenged precincts of the liberal blogosphere. Some of the same people who made utter fools of themselves criticizing Palin for supposedly not knowing what happened in 1773, or understanding 'fair use' laws, couldn’t resist one more ride on the Wile E. Coyote rocket-propelled roller skates of vicious ignorance."

Patterico at Patterico's Pontifications:

"The picture was designed to make liberals choleric, and it worked... Bristol Palin was... simply fixing an out of place strand of hair on her mom’s head. Which, of course, the photographer would have known. But deliberately chose not to reveal. What media bias?"

Rob Port at SayAnythingBlog.com:

"The Palins visited Haiti to tour earthquake recovery efforts and help raise some money to fuel said efforts, but it’s drawn scorn and criticism from the left. As you might imagine, because the Palins pretty much can’t do anything without certain liberals fainting into the bushes with outrageous outrage... Palin didn’t bring along a hair stylist to Haiti. The girl in the picture doing Sarah Palin’s hair? It’s her daughter, Bristol Palin, fixing her mom’s hair like any daughter might do out at the shopping mall or something... This is how absolutely deranged the left is about Sarah Palin. Bristol fixes her hair in public, and it becomes an international media incident. Ridiculous."

"Latest Media Created Palin Scandal Comes Crashing Down: She Brought Her Hair Stylist to Haiti… It Was Her Daughter Bristol..."

Marooned in Marin:

"For someone they claim is 'clueless,' the Obama lapdog media is just obsessed over every move Sarah Palin makes. She was in Haiti over the weekend, as the guest of the Rev. Franklin Graham, to look at the humanitarian crisis there in the aftermath of the earthquake. However, the media went to work trying to create some kind of 'scandal.' ... Yet the same media who is so willing to create a phony scandal to attack the former Alaska Governor/2008 Vice Presidential Candidate and first woman President-to-be is silent about the imagery of the President of the United States leaving a press conference, letting a former President take over because he is late for a party? ... At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed, or just lost their jobs, and facing tax hikes at the end of the year, the President of the United States turned his back on the nation and headed out to party. And yet it is claimed by Obama worshipping liberals in the media (and some misguided Republicans) that Sarah Palin is unqualified to be President?"

Rick at Wizbang:

"Sarah Palin hatred hits new high... Or would that be a new low..."

Stacy Drake at Conservatives 4 Palin:

"The media really have outdone themselves this weekend. Throwing anything and everything at Governor Palin during her humanitarian trip to Haiti, including their own stupidity... This is not the first time the media has been involved in a wrongheaded attempt to scandalize Governor Palin's hair. Back in 2009, Tim Lindell wrote about the ridiculous claim that some in the media made - that Governor Palin was losing her hair. The governor's hairdresser, Jessica Steele took that meme apart pretty swiftly... The first time they wanted to portray her as stressed out and weak. This time they recycled the old, 'Diva' meme left by the backstabbing brigade of the McCain presidential campaign. With other photographic evidence available, the media's wishful thinking, is just that. Governor Palin is the opposite of what they want the public to believe."

Lori Calabrese at Examiner.com:

"Maybe the lame stream media can learn something from the former Governor and focus their efforts on helping Haiti instead of focusing on Palin's hair and wardrobe. Talk about lame!"

Vicki McClure Davidson at Frugal Café Blog Zone:

"The left-wing media never sleeps when it comes to slamming and smearing Sarah Palin. Or, deliberately misleading readers about the former Alaskan governor while she’s on a humanitarian trip to cholera-infected Haiti... The left-wing media went into frothing, rabid overdrive, wanting us all to believe that Palin is a vain prima donna who brought her personal hairdresser when on a humanitarian visit to Haiti... A non-story of a daughter quickly fixing her mom’s hair that an Associated Press reporter tried shamelessly to spin into an unjustified witch hunt. What should have been a human interest story, a story of compassion, of international aid, was turned into a political smear vehicle. No wonder the media ranks lower in the public’s trust than do political blogs."

Gregory Flap Cole at Flap's Blog:

"Palin Derangement Syndrome: Haitian Hair Edition... Wow! Here we go again with the media hating on Sarah Palin and a humanitarian trip at that."

iusbvision at The IUSB Vision Weblog:

"The Huffington Post blasts Sarah Palin almost every day and almost every time the narrative they present is nothing short of Orwellian... This is what Arianna calls 'real journalism'... The narrative complete with attitude implies that Sarah is vain and only cares about how she will look on TV when she is surrounded by suffering. The reality is that the woman next to Sarah is not some high paid makeup artist, rather it is her daughter Bristol who just took a moment to fix a spot on her mother’s hair. It is amazing how much emotionalism, intent and action a hater can add into a picture’s narrative in spite of the fact that there is no truth whatsoever to what the hater’s mind created."

Conservatarian at The Voice of Reason:

"Blind hatred is the left's calling card."

Ed Driscoll at Pajamas Media:

"It’s certainly not the second coming of RatherGate, but once again, the gang at Free Republic catch the legacy media trying to gin up scandal where none exists... Elsewhere in the MSM, just this past week, Michelle Malkin spotted 'errrrrrudite liberal journo Richard Wolffe mocking Sarah Palin [on MSNBC of course] for citing famed, beloved Christian author, novelist, lay theologian, and apologist C.S. Lewis as 'a source of divine inspiration.' But then, as someone once wrote, 'We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.'"
