Here are two of the first media reports on Sarah Palin's hard hitting and inspirational address to the conservative bloggers conference "Right Online"
They are remarkably free of the usual "I can see Russia" nonsense which shows that if you hit bullies hard they respect you. The usual morons show up in the comments section of the LAT-but what else would you expect.

LAS VEGAS -- It was a rousing pep talk for a ballroom full of conservative bloggers, and a tribute to a fallen compadre Friday evening, as Sarah Palin honored the memory of the late Internet entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart and told an annual gathering of conservative new media that they fill a vital role in the nation’s political discourse.
In some ways, Palin’s 35-minute speech was
also a vintage performance, her sing-song voice rising and falling as
she also castigated and mocked the “lamestream media,” accusing
it of failing to vet then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008
and of promulgating rumors about her personal life, which still seem
to get under her skin.“You do what the old media can’t or won’t
do, and that’s tell the truth,” said Palin, who remains a hero of
the tea-party right despite her withdrawal from the arena of
electoral office. “I have learned in the last four years or so, it
doesn’t do any good to personally complain about the untruths told
by the old media. I might as well save my breath…. Shoot, by now I
should have been divorced how many times?
Under FBI investigation. Living in the Hamptons. It still
is a great mystery who really is Trig Paxon Van Palin’s real
mother.”
Speaking in a ballroom of the Venetian Hotel,
owned by heavyweight Republican contributor Sheldon Adelson,
Palin did not mention this morning’s announcement by President
Obama that he would stop deporting young adults brought to the United
States as children. In a brief conversation with Politico after her
speech, she accused Obama of “pandering to a specific demographic.”
She did, however, allude to the victory in
Wisconsin by Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who beat a recall
effort on June 5. She reminisced about sharing a stage with Breitbart
on the steps of the Wisconsin Capitol in April 2011, at a gathering
organized by Americans for Prosperity in support of
Walker’s proposals to end collective bargaining for public unions.
(The Americans for Prosperity Foundation, part of the anti-tax group
founded by the billionaire Koch brothers, sponsors the Right Online
conference.)
”We
were there, we few, we happy few, we band of brothers, in the blowing
snow and pelting rain on the Capitol steps,” Palin said. “I felt
right at home. … And that left-wing mob surrounded us with shouts
and they had their drum circles and their cowbells -- oh the
cowbells, that was so intimidating.”
Palin told the bloggers that the 2008
presidential campaign was “the final straw” for the credibility
of old media, which, she said, devoted itself to studying the cost of
her wardrobe, rather than vetting the future president.
“They
propped him up and spun for him, and with tingles up their leg, they
delivered their chosen one for the victory,” Palin said. “We have
the time-tested truths on our side and we will defeat that Goliath of
the old media that still seeks to deceive this most exceptional
nation. So don’t’ retreat. Reload.”
