Sixty Days to Berlin

On the day after Sarah Palin's magnificent speech at the Republican National Convention, I left this comment on a couple of blogs I frequent:

"Within the context of this election, last night was the left’s Stalingrad. This November, Berlin is coming."

The latest news suggests that Sarah Palin's nomination, the insane, guttural, disgusting attacks directed at her by the mentally-deranged left, and her epic performance in St. Paul have indeed been a turning point in this year's presidential election. Via Hot Air, the latest Gallup poll has John McCain leading Barack Obama by a margin of 54% to 44% among those most likely to vote, in a survey conducted Friday through Sunday.

But that is not all. According to Mike K, the left's apoplectic response to Palin may have serious repercussions in the media, such as with The Atlantic Monthly, host to the excitable and (hard-to-believe) once respectable Andrew Sullivan. Ace of Spades provides the analysis. Mike K writes that Sullivan "has damaged the brand of The Atlantic Monthly." That is very unfortunate. Though I am no longer a subscriber, the Atlantic was one of the first magazines I ever subscribed to, and every now and then I would still pick up a copy if I saw some topics of interest. This cover, though satirical, reflects what a garbage pile of moonbattery the Atlantic has become during the past week:


As for other media repercussions, MSNBC's horribly biased coverage of both the Democratic and Republican conventions has, according to a report by the New York Times, resulted in Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews being relieved of anchor-desk duties for the remainder of the election. Serves them right.

Given such results, might the liberal media lay off of Palin? Jim Treacher thinks not:

These pathetic cretins have come up empty again and again, but they still can't stop. The more they realize that this woman really might be as squeaky-clean as advertised, the harder they try to find something. Anything. And the dumber they look, the angrier and sloppier they get. Every “Gotcha!” turns into a “D'oh!”

If this election does turn into a rout for John McCain and Sarah Palin, expect more members of the nutcase left to assume the role of feces-throwing monkeys. For example, today some unknown half-witted toff (who claims to be American by birth) named Minette Marrin wrote this revolting pile of drivel (h/t Hot Air) for The Sunday Times of London, in which she called Palin "an ill-educated, inexperienced hypocrite." At least Marrin is honest enough to say that "This has little to do with Palin's views." Of course it doesn't, you limey bint. It all has to do with class, for after criticizing McCain's vetting of Palin (of which she knows absolutely nothing) Marrin helpfully adds "I myself wouldn't hire a house-sitter on such scant acquaintance." Not our class, dear.

Whine, pull your hair out, and throw all the insults you please, you lily-livered, America-hating, waffle-stomping posy-sniffers. In the meantime, I'll be over here relaxing with a bottle of Shiner Bock, a Perdomo cigar, laughing while I watch y'all master the yogic practice of inserting both feet into your gaping maws.
