“… if the woman’s last name is ‘Palin.’”
When video of Ray Rice punching and then dragging his fiancé around on the floor was released, CNN’s Carol Costello justifiably called it “disturbing” and “insane.” But when Costello played the audio of a different woman recounting a similar horrifying experience of being assaulted and dragged around by a man, she told her audience: “Sit back and enjoy.”
The difference? The woman in question happened to be the daughter of favorite liberal hate object and former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
And
On Wednesday, Costello even teased the audio on her twitter feed at 9:45am: “This is quite possibly the best minute and half of audio we’ve come across in a long long time.” #PalinBrawl.
And after several rounds of criticism, Costello finally offered a weak pseudo-apology in the subjunctive tense, “I would like to apologize,” she said.
A rational person might wonder, why is the left wing still so obsessed with Sarah Palin so many years later? Why does it even matter.
It matters, because the left wants to make an example of Sarah Palin as a warning to any other conservative Republican woman who might seek high office in the future. It’s a warning, “If you don’t mind your place, missy, we will destroy you and attack your family for years to come.”
That’s why they keep doing it.
Personally, I hope that Carol Costello gets caught in a “Bristol Palin” moment and I will be the first one to point to it and say “Sit back and enjoy watching it.”
Yes, I went there. Deal. With. It.

“A rational person might wonder, why is the left wing still so obsessed with Sarah Palin so many years later?”
I believe that it was @redsteeze over on Twitter who responded to that question and IMO hit the nail on the head. This is a is a warning to all conservative women. This is what will happen to you if you dare to run for office on conservative principles.
“Hey, nice family ya got there. It’d be a shame if . . . .”
Leftist terrorism just like the IRS targeting.
So, what’s the over-under on how long it takes rusty to cut-and-paste Costello’s pseudo-apology?
Violence-hypocrites Democrats (Liberals) always resort to petty violence & use their race card clients to effect physical violence. It’s not just talk. Best to keep an eye out & watch your backs.
“It matters, because the left wants to make an example of Sarah Palin as a warning to any other conservative Republican woman who might seek high office in the future. It’s a warning, “If you don’t mind your place, missy, we will destroy you and attack your family for years to come.”
That’s why they keep doing it.”
Absolutely spot on. That is EXACTLY what the left wants any woman who dares to actually disagree with them to think.
Sarah Palin is a true Patriot. The left can’t stand that.
Yes, the reason for their hate is correct. And couple that with the fact that Palin is a strong, successful person who made it without coddling and help from anyone, especially the radical feminist movement. She is the living proof that the main tenants of radical feminism are wrong, and leftists cannot allow that example to stand.
If Biden’s coke party boy son that was given most of the Ukraine’s natural gas reserves had the last name Palin he would have been in jail for drugs & people would know about the corruption that was part of the coup d’état in the Ukraine

Actually leftists fear that Palin is one of the few examples of women having both a merit based job & a family. When most feminists don’t look to have kids until they are damaged goods, there will be a backlash when straight women cant find good men of the patriarchy.
I have two words for Carol: Martin Bashir. Think about it, honey. Think REAL hard about what happened to him.
See you at al-Jazeera, Miss Thang.

Just shows how morally bankrupt liberals truly are.
This is the group that declares them the party of women and yammers on and on about the war on women, rape culture and the evils of vile t men but then gleefully laugh when a young woman is assaulted because her mother is a republican and once ran for Vice President.
Guess the war on women is fine and dandy when it involves republican women being harmed.
They are so obsessed with Palin because she is everything they can never be – hard-working, honest, a woman who loves her man, loves her children (even with their flaws), and has everything she wants in life.
So, they have to knock the bitch down – how dare she be better than them!
“loves her children (even with their flaws)”
I wouldn’t consider having Down’s Syndrome a flaw. Sure, it’s hard work to take care of a Down’s Syndrome child, but they bring the parent joy.
the people in the boardrooms of corporate America pay to put this on the air.
No offense, Paul, but I’m pretty sure Charles wasn’t referring to Trig when he used the phrase “with their flaws.” I could be wrong, but I suspect he was referring to Bristol.
OMG! Sorry Paul; I wasn’t even thinking of Trig when I wrote that.
Despite the news media being a bunch of jackasses, for the most part they have left Trig alone – they will attack the mother – but, even they seem to have some decency to know to keep “hands off” Trig.
Bastiat Fan, yes, I was actually referring to the fact that we all have family members who aren’t quite living up to our expectations. And, yes, I was thinking of her teenage, unwed-mother, daughter – whom she and her husband were disappointed in; but, still supported and loved and made very clear that they would help her with whatever hardships she would be facing.
I can’t helped but wonder what some other political parents would do. Help the kid to have an discreet abortion hoping that the press doesn’t get wind? Tell everyone that they don’t want their daughter “punished” with an “unwanted baby”?
Did Sarah and her husband call the father of the baby a rat bastard? Maybe Sarah and her husband thought that about the boyfriend; but, they had the decency to not bash him in public. Instead, Palin made a comments that he would be a part of their lives.
Palin didn’t play the left’s typical victim and that makes her better than them and, so, they have to knock her down for it.
Progressivism really is secular Calvinism. This is some scary, disgusting s*** right here.
I wonder. When progs and liberals read “The Lord of the Rings,” and get to the parts where Gandalf and Galadriel warn that the power of the Ring would corrupt their desire to do good into tyranny, do those parts just show up blank on the page?
Upon being introduced to Palin, the left immediately attacked Palin and her clan as the Wasilla Hillbilies with particular snark being levels at the pregnant daughter and the Willow, Bristol, Trig, Trac, Piper names. How very trashy to name your kids like that?
Then there was moose chili and the glam mom who looked like some sort of WWII airplane nose-art pin-up and “that” baby who should have been, you know, kept under wraps.
So, how delicious is it to have the whole clan liquored up and cussing at a birthday party they were crashing? If David Letterman were on his game, he could crack a joke about Alex Rodriguez jumping out of the limo trunk and doing the entire family.
Sarah Palin has been taken off at the knees by the predatory press. That press has elevated every scintilla of rumor they could get their hands on with the same zeal and dedication they applied to seeing nothing to report about Bill or Hillary Clintoon and, now, the Obamessiah.
When I read the police reports of this latest incident, it became clear to me that Sarah Palin is now finished as a national voice.
The libs will kick her corpse around for years to come. She is the poster child for their tolerance and diversity campaign.
@ Heliotrope: Agreed. The Left rendered Palin toxic. A rather chilling message to those groups who “belong” to the Democrats: “Toe the line, or we’ll make you pay.”
Don’t forget about the way Trig Palin was ridiculed for his down’s syndrome in liberal forums and by some TV jerks. That whole episode was worse than the way Carrol Costello treated Bristol.
What should be done with Carol Costello? Fire the cucking funt.
