Eye-Rolling Vs. Being Rolled

This is what it's come down to.  Every body movement is scrutinized in an attempt to find some negative to attribute to Sarah Palin.  This time it's an attempt to show that Sarah doesn't like teachers.  When a lady protester with a sign that said "World's Worst Governor" said she was a teacher Gov. Palin dissed teachers by rolling her eyes.  So they say.  Of course, Sarah comes from a family of teachers so we know that's not true.

When Barack Obama is involved, it's a different matter.  There is no need to examine his body movements, his eyebrows, or manner of dress to determine his attitude toward anyone.  His speech doesn't seem to matter either.  When he said that certain people were bitter clingers clinging to their guns and religion, that didn't mean anything.  He wasn't dissing people who believe in the Second Amendment and he certainly wasn't meaning to put down religious people.  When he said in his book that he sought out Marxist professors in college, that didn't mean he was interested in Marxism or that he was a Marxist.  When he told Joe the Plumber that he wanted to "spread the wealth around", that couldn't possibly mean that he believed in socialism.  When he told George Stephanopolis that he was a Muslim and George had to correct him and tell him he was a Christian, that was just a meaningless misstatement.  When he said that Europe was a country and that he had visited 57 states, he must have been tired.   When he ordered a full court press against the State of Arizona for wanting to have federal immigration law enforced, he wasn't disrespecting Arizona voters and their elected officials--no problem.   When he appointed admitted communists, Marxists, and socialists to office, that didn't mean anything either, but when Sarah Palin moves her eyebrows... what an awful person she is.

Gov.Palin has given hundreds of speeches covering just about every aspect of American life from international politics to energy to womens issues to religion.  What the media covers is her appearance, anything they can piece together to make her appear stupid, and the latest antics of Levi Johnston.

The media gave up it's neutrality long ago, but criticizing Palin based on eyebrow movement while ignoring Obama's blatant actions and statements is taking the bias to an extreme.
