“No, the media did not do their job,” said Palin, who wore an oversized Star of David necklace, perhaps in deference to the locale’s proprietor, the Republican mega-donor whose support for Israel has driven his politics.
“But, say for argument, they couldn’t afford to do the job,” Palin said. “Say they couldn’t afford to send a reporter to Chicago, ‘cause they spent all their money in Wasilla to find out what kind of coffee Bristol ordered when she was 17. Why did they not at least read his autobiography? They would have learned a whole lot and not just about that pakalolo smoking and cocaine snorting, and what he ate.”
“I think it’s funny that the cocktail circuit give me a hard time for eating elk and moose, but come on, anybody here have a pet moose?” asked Palin. “There is a difference.”
Had the “old media” done its job, Palin said, the country would have understood Obama’s “strange attraction to the most radical of leftist ideas, leading to his government-by-intrusion in all aspects of our commercial and private life, all the way up to his war on religion. And we would have known that he actively, proudly sought out Marxist professors and was actually a member of the socialist New Party when he ran for state office in the ‘90s.”
Palin's reference is to a story gaining traction right now in the right wing blogosphere.
Palin also seemed still to be stung about stories that arose during the 2008 campaign that her husband, Todd, was until 2002 a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which advocates Alaskan secession from the United States.
Reporters made a “big darn deal” about Todd's political affiliation, she said.
Palin did not once mention the name of the president’s Republican challenger.
But that was not a shocker for this crowd, many of whom are reluctantly supporting Romney because he is Obama’s opponent.
