<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="https://sarahpalininformation.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/newpic13.jpg"><img src="https://sarahpalininformation.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/newpic13.jpg?w=137&#038;h=200" alt="" height="200" border="0" /></a></div>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:large;">It seems to me, and to many people I am sure who have felt the justified wrath of the redoubtable Robert Stacy McCain, that he is as hard boiled a journalist as could be found. That said, and I think it is a character trait of many of this breed, at the very core there is a solid, honest commitment to first principles. McCain states his opinions hard and clear-that much is certain but he goes for facts as a bedrock.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:large;">But deeper than that there is a sense of a decent human being who is driven by that inner core humanity to do and say what is right and damn the torpedoes. I believe this is, whether his readers recognize it on the surface or feel it as a gut instinct, why his blog is so massively popular. <a href="http://theothermccain.com/2011/09/15/todd-palin-legal-defense/">Below is a classic example</a> of all the very best that is McCain. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:large;">He goes beyond whether he is a supporter of Palin,or not as the case may be and defends her and her family-because it is the right thing to do and does it in inimitable and frankly classy,style.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:large;">This example of honest journalism puts the entire liberal media to shame-a fact which is now recognized and of great sadness to Dem supporters.</span><br />

His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo, and smears. Even The New York Times called this book ‘dated, petty,’ and [said] that it ‘chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip.’”</span><br />

<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;">During <a style="color:firebrick;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-decoration:none;" href="http://theothermccain.com/2010/09/03/hey-whos-the-man/" target="_blank">my trip to Wasilla</a> last year, I told Todd Palin that if he had shot Levi Johnston, no jury in the world would have convicted him, and his wife’s poll numbers would have gone <em>up</em>.</div>
<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;">Our conversation was informal and off-the-record, so readers are left to imagine Todd’s reaction, but certainly the Palins can’t be held responsible for every crazy thing a journalist says. (It was, after all, merely a <em>hypothetical</em>.) And neither can the Palins be blamed for what I’m suggesting now.</div>
<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;">Joe McGinniss deserves The Mother of All Ass-Whuppings, and Todd Palin ought to give him exactly what he deserves.</div>
<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;">So I’m asking readers to go <a style="color:firebrick;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-decoration:none;" href="https://www.sarahpacdonate.com/bustour_button_081011" target="_blank">make a $25 donation to SarahPAC</a> to help defray Todd’s legal expenses when he shows up at McGinniss’s first book signing and pounds that scurvy worm into a bloody pulp.</div>
<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;"><a style="color:firebrick;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-decoration:none;" href="https://www.sarahpacdonate.com/bustour_button_081011" target="_blank">Please give $25 to SarahPAC</a>, so that we can bail Todd Palin out on that assault charge — and then fly him to the<em> next</em> Joe McGinniss book signing to deliver yet another brutal ass-whupping.</div>
<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;"><em>Lather, rinse, repeat.</em></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;">Just give <a style="color:firebrick;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-decoration:none;" href="https://www.sarahpacdonate.com/bustour_button_081011" target="_blank">$25 to SarahPAC</a>, you see, and we’ll cover Todd Palin’s legal expenses and fly him to wherever Joe McGinniss appears in public, turning McGinniss’s book tour into a nationwide beatdown tour.</div>
<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;">After McGinniss gets out of the hospital from his first ass-whupping, he’ll probably get a restraining order against Todd. Still, Random House will be forced to hire armed security to protect Creepy Joe because, hey, what’s a restraining order to an insulted husband who’s got <a style="color:firebrick;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-decoration:none;" href="https://www.sarahpacdonate.com/bustour_button_081011" target="_blank">thousands of loyal supporters donating $25 each</a> to cover his legal expenses?</div>
<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;"><strong>Bonus suggestion</strong>: <em>Sarah PAC should hire a documentary crew to chronicle Todd Palin’s “<a style="color:firebrick;outline-color:initial;outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;text-decoration:none;" href="https://www.sarahpacdonate.com/bustour_button_081011" target="_blank">One Nation Joe McGinniss Ass-Whupping Tour</a>.”</em></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;padding:0 0 5px;">Proceeds from sales of the DVD would go to defray Joe McGinniss’s medical bills. “Compassionate conservatism” and all that.</div>
