NASHVILLE, Tenn. (The Blaze/AP) — When a book is called “Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin,” you can guess it’s not a happy story.
An imprint of Simon & Schuster announced Monday that it had signed up “Blind Allegiance,” a long-rumored tell-all by former Palin aide Frank Bailey. The imprint, Howard Books, will release Bailey’s book May 24. Excerpts from an early draft were leaked to reporters earlier this year.
Bailey worked with Palin while she was governor of Alaska and when she was John McCain’s running mate on the Republican presidential ticket in 2008.
In a leaked manuscript of the book in February, Bailey accused Palin of saying “I hate this damn job” in reference to her position as Alaska’s former governor. He also accused her of working illegally with the Republican Governors Association during her campaign for that job in 2006.
Howard Books is calling “Blind Allegiance” a “chilling expose.” Author Ken Morris and Alaska political blogger Jeanne Devon helped write the book.

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 12:26pmWho cares what stories these losers make up? Sarah’s speech in Wisconsin was wonderful–in content and in her poise, she is tough as nails, totally unfazed by the thugs trying to drown her out.

What they didn’t state is that “critic,” a man by the name of Ken Morris, is a known leftist who has a history of pulling obsessive stunts directed towards Governor Palin, and that the other writer, Jeanne Devon, is a legend in the Alaskan left-wing blogoshpere for her unhinged, freakish behavior aimed at hurting the governor. These aren’t just people who disagree with her politics. These are people who have spent a lot of time, money, and integrity trying to damage Governor Palin

Posted on April 19, 2011 at 10:19amLove the comment, but It’s about the money. As the people in this country will believe what they want to believe instead of looking at the records of people and their actions. That is why we have a President that has driven us into debt, and pretty soon the dollar won’t be worth anything and our creditors will not be lending us anything (by design so we will switch to one world currency), limited out ability to get ourselves off international oil while handing Brazil millions of dollars to do deep oil drilling as the person who benefits from this is George Soros who is PETRABRA, the oil company doing the drilling. The Media has no charter to tell the truth only to sell papers or to have the ratings on their show be the highest. The news is only what they want you to hear. Now, with so much of the lure of money and power and those willing to pay for it, I am not surprised by a book coming out right before the campaigning to denigate Sarah Palin. It is Obama’s favorite tactic. He did it in Illinois. He did it in the Presidential campaign. Don’t you all think it strange that no one does it to him? That no one talks about his past and about the past of people who surround him. Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod close to Obama. Jarrett’s father-in-law was the head of the Communist party in Illinois while Axelrod worked as a writer on the Hyde Park Herald a Communist paper. Then there are his personal relationships to (Democratic Socialist Association (DSA) members including Quentin Young, Timuel Black, the late Rabbi Arnold Jacob Wolf, the late Saul Mendelson, Lou Pardo, Congressman Danny Davis and DSA honorees Jackie Grimshaw, Jackie Kendall and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky. What about his Czars like Ron Bloom-Manufacturing Czar who has been a socialist since his teens and wrote an article for the 2006 DSA paper; Rosa Brooks who is well known as a liberal columnist is the daughter of DSA member, Movement for a Democratic Society board member and Progressives for Obama founder, Barbara Ehrenreich; Carol Browner, Energy Czar – who until 2008 was a member of Socialist International Commission for a Sustainable World Society and also worked for Citizens for Action founded by by former Students for a Democratic Society radicals, Steve Max and Heather Booth, both later affiliated to DSA; Samatha Powers who part of the National Security Council and signed her name to signed her name to an open letter, initiated by prominent DSA member Leo Casey , calling for normalization of relations with Cuba and she is married to Cass Sunstein and the list goes on. The world is upside down people and the left is right and the right is left. I again I ask why doesn’t the media investigate and report on Obama and the left? Instead the focus on Sarah Palin, wonder why.
