The media pounces on Palin

I'm on a mailing list for Americans for Limited Government, a non-partisan group that believes government has gotten too powerful in 21st century America. The group rarely gets involved in political races, preferring to blame both Republicans and Democrats for the massive growth of government. But Americans for Limited Government is appalled at the unprecedented and viscous attacks by the left-wing medial on Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin and her family.

Here's the message that accompanied the cartoon above:

It is rare that we at ALG News are actually disgusted with the coverage of a political campaign, but the truth is, we have been positively appalled by the vicious attacks against the family of Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK), the GOP's vice-presidential nominee. So much so that ALG's award-winning cartoonist, William Warren, produced the following cartoon portraying a ravenous media feasting on the Palin family.

We believe that all fair-minded journalists were as shocked by some of the coverage as we were, and in that vein, we encourage you to republish and redistribute the cartoon. There are no royalties or restrictions involved.

Clearly, the attacks against Mrs. Palin and her family have gone far beyond the pale, and have no place in a mature discussion about the direction America is going in this year.

Sincerely,
