McCain Campaign Manager: Mainstream Reporters Are Demanding Palin Get A Paternity Test
COURIC: I mean, aren’t those legitimate criticisms, and don’t they call into question the vetting process, which obviously you were a very important part of? But some people wonder, why are these kind of things coming out in kind of a drip, drip, drip fashion?
SCHMIDT: Well, let’s talk about what’s coming out. The fact that her husband had a DWI 24 years ago when he was 22 years old. Senator McCain thinks that’s nonsense, that’s not a disqualifier for a Vice President of the United States. We knew that her daughter was going to have a child. Senator McCain offered his love and support for their family. That doesn’t disqualify this exceptional leader, and the American people, I think, will angrily reject it. Today, Katie, I’ve been asked questions that are outrageous by the national media. I’ve been asked questions about when her amniotic fluid started to leak with regard to her last birth. I was asked whether we would make the genetic tests available because she had a Down’s Syndrome child. Members of this campaign went to off-the-record lunches with reporters today, and they were asked if she would do paternity tests to prove paternity for her last child. Smear after smear after smear, and it’s disgraceful, and it’s wrong, and the American people are going to reject it overwhelmingly when they see her tomorrow.
Remember, this is the same media that had to have their collective arms twisted to get them to cover Obama’s America-damning pastor. This is the same media that still refuses to explore the connections between Obama and Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers.
But they’re more than willing to demand that a female Republican VP candidate take a paternity test to prove that her baby is really hers.
Fair? Objective? Not even a little bit.
