The left is hiting Gov. Sarah Palin hard over Wayne Anthony Ross. It seems this guy has a ton of unsavory stories attached to him. Things like defending a Klansman statue as ‘art’, which considering dunking Jesus in piss is art, may not be a stretch.

But such stories are not a good picture of what goes on in the mind of Wayne Anthony Ross.

So, fuled with several unflattering stories, the left has gone about attacking Sarah Palin.

Progressive Alaska, run by Philip Munger, has a post citing the different events, and they sound pretty awful. So it looks like the left really can get a good shot in on Palin’s character judement, while they are still busy ignoring Barack Obama’s.

Then you notice something overtly grotuesque, a contrived setup to turn the story into a scene from a bad Lifetime movie:

• While Judy and I watched the excellent movie “Milk” last night, I re-read some of the columns I copied.

So one can roll their eyes and say “Sure pal, you watched Sean Penn play a gay martyr while reading the writings of an evil conservative.”

So, after that hiccup in the bit, you brush it aside. After all, the guy really could be doing that. It just seems so staged.

Then you read, why this guy put that in there in the first place:

• As we watched “Milk,” and I thought of Ross, I couldn’t avoid comparing Ross to Dan White. Hopefully, Ross will not use the new powers our spineless, somewhat racist legislature is about to hand him as unwisely as did White.

And that’s the part where you look at the post the same way you look at a dog who just crapped on the floor. It was okay, maybe even good, right until then.

Dan White was the crazed assassin who killed Harvey Milk, right after he killed Mayor Moscone. Now, Wayne Anthony Ross has stories surrounding him that are unpalatable. The idea that you insinuate he is an assassin in waiting is dishonest and a smear.

Also, amazingly, it is a smear on crazed assassin Dan White. The stories of misogyny and racism liberals cite around Wayne Anthony Ross are very much in opposition to the earlier story of Dan White.

White was a combat veteran, a police officer (he quit after an altercation in which he stopped the beating of a handcuffed black prisoner by another officer), and a firefighter who made a dramatic rescue that was covered by the San Francisco Chronicle. He also had invited Harvey Milk to his baby’s baptism.

Dan White did not have the unsavory stories around him that Ross does. But Ross should not be called an assassin in waiting either.

It’s amazing that a liberal with some potential goods on someone, must further smear them with gratuitous associations and at the same time, even besmirch an assassin. Only a liberal can pull off this “two birds with one smear” technique.

Why use the film as a prop? Is Phillip Munger afraid the stories are just worthless hearsay?

Why overreach like this?
