Sarah Palin is under attack from almost all quarters of the liberal media. I suppose I should be used to rank liberal hypocrisy, but this is pretty breathtaking.

Newsbusters.org has a roundup including:

  • In today’s “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” moment, MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell, currently miles away from her three children that are all under the age of two, questioned whether or not Sarah Palin would be neglecting her four-month-old if she became vice president.
  • US Magazine headlines its cover: ”Babies, Lies and Scandal”
  • Less than an hour after reporter David Gregory incorrectly huffed on Wednesday’s “Today” show that the media have not questioned whether Sarah Palin can balance motherhood with serving as vice president, NBC correspondent Amy Robach explicitly did just that during a segment on how moms were reacting to the Alaska governor. Operating under a loaded either/or premise, she derided, “The broader question if Sarah Palin becomes vice president, will she be shortchanging her kids or will she be shortchanging the country?“
  • Republicans really hold racist double standards when it involves teenage pregnancies and marriages. This according to Joy Behar, who shared such a sentiment on the September 3 edition of “The View.” Discussing the pregnancy of Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, Behar expressed sympathy for the father and fiancé, Levi Johnston.Behar exclaimed it’s “the end of his life” because “he’s married at 17″ (Johnston is actually 18, which is the legal difference between a child and an adult) When Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked “why isn’t that the beginning of another [life]?” Joy Behar, implying Republicans are racist, rebutted “if this was a black teenage couple, you wouldn’t be saying it so easily. Not you, but the Republican party would be all over that.” Behar subsequently added “they’re white, they’re Christian. Everybody loves them on the right wing.”
  • Rod Lurie, the liberal creator of the President-Hillary-imagining ABC TV series “Commander in Chief,” thinks the Sarah Palin pick makes him look prescient. “I think Geena [Davis] and I need to be paid royalties by the Republicans.” “People who understand politics know anything is possible,” he said. “Picking a woman is an absolute strategic idea from McCain’s point of view. He’s not talking about governing right now. The idea of this woman actually facing down [Vladimir] Putin and negotiating with [Dmitry] Medvedev is idiotic.”

Jim Geraghty at the Campaign Spot, has his own list:

  • Sure, one of the first inquiries from CNN’s John Roberts was, “Children with Down’s syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of vice president, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?”
  • Sure, ABC News correspondent David Wright said, “In small groups, Palin can seem like the young, trophy running mate.”
  • And sure, the Washington Post’s Lisa de Moraes did write, “John McCain will have to do better than naming Tina Fey his vice presidential choice.”
  • And perhaps it may have appeared to be sexism when liberal talk show host Ed Schultz declared a “bimbo alert.” And admittedly, liberal columnist Richard Cohen compared McCain naming her to Caligula naming his horse to be a consul and a priest. And yes, even Fox News interviewed her dentist about her smile.
  • Sure, on MSNBC, the phrases “daughter’s pregnancy” and “Palin’s judgment” were used in conjunction so many times, liberal bloggers who disagree with Palin were grinding their teeth.
  • Sure, Maureen Dowd calls her the “Vice in Go-Go Boots.”
  • Sure, the Baltimore Sun’s Susan Reimer dismissed her as “a skirt on the ticket.”
  • And when Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton declared that Palin would make a “pretty fragile” president, one might be left scratching the head at that label, knowing that Palin hunts caribou moose. But clearly, sexism could not have been what prompted that unflattering stereotypical adjective.
