Should Governor Palin face scrutiny on her record of service from the media, or should the media go easier on her because she's a woman?

Senator Barack Obama hasn't directly criticized Palin's record, but now he is taking the gloves off. Obama today told a rally in Indiana that Sarah Palin pretends to oppose earmarks, but that she has actually accepted the specially targeted spending when it's "convenient."

Do the Democrats run the risk of appearing sexist if they attack Palin's record or is it fair game when you run for Vice President?  Blog it here.

Hannity on Fox News has been after Obama and his wife for months but nobody is allowed to say anything about that women, Palin. It is always such a double standard when anybody questions a republican or states facts about them. Hannity is freaking because people have said things about Palin. Big Deal! You think because she is a women, she shouldn't be questioned or asked about her decisions. I have seen him react about the things said about Hillary.
The US is in a terrible state. We are trillons in debt. McCain has been a senator for almost 3 decades and people are not suppose to question his voting practices either.
Palin doesn't believe in sex ed or gays but it is ok to tell the world that her daughter is a 17 year old unwed mother. Such a nice mother and such a poster child for giving the ok for teenagers to be pregnant. Well, having sex before marriage is a sin too. So don't go around preaching about what is right. You have a little baby that has a lot of problems and you left him to go back to work right after he was born and you are leaving your children more than ever now. You don't get a vote for mother of the year and your voice is so irritating.

Bring it on!! She has NOTHING to hide. She may have a few skeletons in her closet, but by no means anywhere near Mr. Biden or Obama who both have warehouses full of them. I say they should ignor the fact that she is a female and ask all the hard questions but those same questions should be asked of Biden.

Nobody EVER complained about the Legitimate Scrutiny that Palin recieved..

There was and IS legitimate complaints about the TYPES and the WAY she was Scrutinized..

A close look at an Individual’s Political Philosophy,, Record,, Character and Personality where the JOB is concerned is NOT only permitted but is essential in the process and EVERY American accepts this..THIS is NOT what has been going on here.
.
As the First two commenters CLEARLY demonstrate,, the scrutiny has FAR exceeded the established and accepted parameters AND common Decency set into place by BOTH parties and has been historically APPROVED of by the American People.. THESE two,, and MANY in the Media have USED the process to DISTORT the facts.. They have taken Scurrilous Rumors,, Lies,, and Falsehoods and presented them as Indisbutable Facts.. They have delved into the realm of clearly defined OUT OF BOUNDS areas and have Fabricated what can ONLY be described as GOSSIP.. THEY have abandoned the Concept of Fact Finding in favor of a Lynch Mob Mentality..Their Motivation is CLEAR..It is NOT to Find the Truth..They don’t CARE about the Truth..They REJECT the Truth.. They RESENT the Truth.. Ignore and DISTORT the Truth..Their Goal is Simple.. It IS to DESTROY the Republican Candidate,, PURE and SIMPLE..
WE have discussed things about this woman that WE have been told for 40 years,, QUITE PROPERLY,, should NEVER be discussed.. Ironically enough,, it is the “Party of Women’s Rights” that have violated their OWN falsely Claimed standards..The very people that have accused and Condemned others of doing

The very people that have accused and Condemned others of doing this..It is THEY who have taken the advances of Women and spit on them..For to THEM,,Agenda Trumps ALL else…

Michelle Obama was NEVER called a Bad Mother because SHE has children and works..NOR does there seem to be ANY concerned for this should SHE become the First Lady..And THAT position will demand as much of HER time as ANY elected position..Her Children were NEVER dragged into the Spotlight by Rumor and Falshoods..She has CAMPAIGNED for her Husband and INSERTED herself into the Arena of Politics and has THUS made herself OPEN to criticism for what she says..And make NO mistake about it..THAT is ALL that is being done here..SHE has and IS being held accountable for what she SAYS and does IN that Arena,, NOT outside of it..

Yes..These Candidates SHOULD be held to a Higher standard but THAT standard should apply to ALL..
The Left has shown it’s contempt for the Truth in the case of BOTH candidates..

For Obama it remains a Jealously Guarded SECRET,, For Palin it has been abandoned Completely..

What we SEE here is the Demonstration of right and wrong..Common Decency and the LACK thereof..

It is NO surprise that the Left knows NOT the difference between the two..THEY are the Party that says it DOESN’T even EXIST..And in THIS,,Contary to ALL else that they say and do,, They PRACTICE what they PREACH..

She has accepted the VP slot so she is now under scrutiny !! Im Floridabrit and I approve that statement !!

Seriously, politics is not only corrupt but dirty-she knew the score when she accepted- now the who ha is over about her speech -(great speech-obama should hire the person that wrote it)

now its all about troopergate etc.

And the VP debate coming up she is going to come up against Biden who obviously has a whole load more experience.

I believe we should not bring thier children into any issues, Even tho i feel sorry for the redneck who got poor Bristol preggers- I would hate to have the kind of pressure he was put under to marry her.

As for Hannity- You know what your getting with him-a self confessed conservative- hes upfront and you know what your going to get-I AM surprised at how nasty he's gotten (cons dont get that way do they?)

I caught 10 minutes of his show one day and he said the word Obama so much, I think his faithfull listeners will be subliminally brainwashed and will vote for Barack Apollo Obama ! (Hannitys words not mine)

Hannity is a small time irish leprechaun, who cant hold a candle next to the heavyweight Limbaugh...

Hannity makes NO claim to being ANYTHING other then a Conservative Talk Show Host who promotes the Conservative view..SAME thing with Limbaugh..You KNOW what you're getting because they'll TELL you what you're getting..
THIS is NOT true with the

(N)ational (B)arak Obama (C)ampaign

headquarters who tout themselves,, as does MANY on the Obamatrain,, as a LEGITIMATE News Organization..

Campbell Brown,,Nora O'Donnell,, Wolf Blitzer et al ALL claim to be Newspeople yet THEY,, in the words of EVEN some Democrat Leaders are,,

" In the OBAMA Camp"...

Bring it on! Everytime she speaks it exsposes the liberals for the slime they are and not to mention more and more people fall in love with her. I love seeing the dimo"s panic like this.

Hey Keith loved your opening sexist line, I am glad to see your typical media. Tell ya what I have posted several blogs about your messiah all truth bearing facts and you tell me if thats the kind of slime politicain you want in office.....Of course they are all facts so I am sure the liberals will avoid them like the plauge.

You know,,I LOVE it when people try to represent the biasness of the News Media by invoking the names of Conservative Talk Show Hosts as if the names ,,Metthews and Colmes and Franken don’t exist..Matthews EVEN has a STEADY stream of the News Media Superstars sich as Nora O’Donnell,, Dan Rather,, Sam Donaldson and Andrea Mitchell as frequent Guests on his show Demonstrating CLEARLY their Political Slant while Hainnity and Limbaugh generally stick to Political Figures and Political Issues..
It’s NO wonder thjat Hannity gets higher rating then Matthews and it’s NO wonder that Limbaugh,,who started with ONE Radio Show and Built an EMPIRE rates HIGHER then Franken,, who was FUNDED by an Empire and drove it into Bankruptcy…Again and again and again...

Makes no difference if the candidate is male or female, or whether they are black, white, red, yellow, brown, or green. Questions need to be asked. It's the press's job to ask the questions and present the responses.

The vetting process is not fool-proof, so we need answers to all the questions which the vetting process should provide. We need to be capable of making an informed decision. Our nation is at stake.

There are FAR more questions to be asked of Obama..Questions whose answers are kept SECRET..

But it's NONE of your BUSINESS how Palin raises her kids..

OK, Keith: answer me honestly:

Why have you NEVER asked this same question about coverage of Biden? We've heard more about Palin in the last 2 weeks than on Biden in the last two years.

You understand that Biden has a kid who's a lobbyist and another who's in trouble for income tax evasion, don't you?

Or do you care?

Yeah, CynPro - the best way to find out a politician's secrets is to read about them on that politician's web site.

Cough! Cough!

Obama is the best thing that ever could have happened! I know it's true, just ask him! Oh yeah, Joe Biden is also the best vp ever too. Just ask him and that is exactly what he will tell you. If you want to beleive the msm, that is what they will tell you also. But if you have half a brain, you will do a little research and dig into exactly what these two are saying/planning and you will see that it is all propaganda.

Yes, I am sure Obama tells all his dirty little secrets on his website Cyn.

You must think everyone is an idiot other than you and Obama.

Pathetic!

Daytona, I still can't find on his website anything about:
Radical Rev Wright
His proclamation of his muslim faith
where he took geography
what community he organized...

"Should Governor Palin face scrutiny?"

No more than a male politician.
What are John McCain's real family values?

Who is "Carol McCain"?

Again with the family Cyn.

If that is all you got is family, you are pathetic indeed. You claimed to want to hear about issues. Are these the issues you want to hear about?
Are these the issues that matter?

Cyn? No reply? I am NOT surprised, since you are deleting comments on your blogs that disagree with you.

All you know is what you read on Obama's website. That is enough for you.

You are worse than pathetic.
