The real story of the Republican vice presidential nominee
and her collision with the elite liberal media As the second woman ever nominated as a candidate for vice
president, Alaska governor Sarah Palin became an instant
phenomenon. Americans were enthralled by a woman with charm,
ambition, natural political talent, and a passion for
conservative values. But the fascination of ordinary people quickly drew an
unprecedented attack from the media elite and liberal
activists. Far beyond the normal bounds of tough questions
and challenges, Palin's enemies decided that nothing was too
personal to attack-including her marriage, her children, her
faith, and her wardrobe. The media distorted Palin's
positions and beliefs beyond recognition. And almost every
word out of her mouth was spun as a "flub." Weekly Standard writer Matthew Continetti reveals the true
story of the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and
her persecution by the elites who tried to hide their bias
with solemn declarations of objectivity. Continetti offers
fresh examples of malicious spin and deceit and shows how
liberal snobbery has become a driving force in American
politics. Palin's ordeal has become a rallying cry for the GOP in the
Obama era. This perceptive book is a must-read for
conservatives who want to understand what really
happened-and how to avoid a repeat.
