Forget health care reform or tax policies that seek to correct growing inequality, arguably the most tangible benefit of an Obama win would the eventual quiescence of Sarah Palin. Today, on a conservative radio station:
If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations, then I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.
At the risk of nitpicking, I’m fairly confident the entire point of the First Amendment is to secure the media’s ability to “ask questions.”
On a related note, if you are under constant attack from what you yourself deem “mainstream”, isn’t the implication then that you represent the fringe?
