"What we have here, is a failure to communicate"

While I might not agree with the GOP for spending thousands on a wardrobe for Mrs. Palin, I'm disgusted by the bias in media these days. Palin defends herself from the revolting flood of unnecessary criticism and BANG, news story.

Not once have I heard anything critical said of Michele Obama, or Biden's wife, or Obama's children. Sure I've heard some dirt being flung around by both sides. But still, I have heard so much unwarranted criticism of Palin over the last few months, I'm sick of it.

Yes, we have the right to free speech and yes we should be allowed to be critical of our politicians. But there is a massive difference between being critical and being downright malicious. Whatever happened to tolerance and respect for the other person and their opinions? Now, if someone happens to disagree with you, does that give you warrant to find every possible excuse to criticize them?

I'm not defending Palin just because she's my Republican homegirl (lol, didn't know I was ghetto, huh?). I'm defending her as a person. If the media were biased and totally trashed Michele Obama or defamed Biden's character needlessly, I would be outrage as well. It's not a party issue. It's an issue of respect.
