I'm not upset that he is being attacked, I don't mind the criticism one bit. It comes with the territory and I can accept that.
It's the Bushies and the Palinites who can't handle their heroes getting attacked to the point where they fabricate an all emcompassing "syndrome" to use as the ultimate deflector shield to any and all attacks that come their way.
See the difference?
No because Palin and Bush criticism had a much different flavor than McCain criticism. I didn't see any of the haywired craziness about Obama that I have seen about Bush or for a lot of conservatives.
So I guess you haven't been anywhere near a mirror in the past two years.
On the other hand, painting anyone who disagrees with Obama as having racist motives is the ultimate deflector shield.
Which doesn't happen but since you already proved in your first two statements that you don't live in reality so why stop now, eh?

Are you fucking BLIND, DEAF and STUPID? Ever since the primaries every criticism of Obama has been met with a charge the person or complaint was a racist attack.
As long as Sarah Palin and her supporters push her onto the public stage she's going to be attacked.
You can't have it both ways, guys.
As always, Article 15 is missing the central point.
Obviously, political opponents are going to attack each other.
The question is HOW ?
Attacking the opponent's children, CONSTANTLY making up bogus crap, or publishing 1/2 truths, using distortions claiming unbiased reporting when one's blatant loyalty to one opponent clearly puts the other at an obvious disadvantage such as having NO fact checkers on Obama's books but EIGHT on Sarah Palin's, etc., is NOT an understandable, nor an honourable way to present oneself as journalists, or HONEST reporters.
But, of course how would an Article 15 semi-criminal have the mental capacity to be relied on in telling right from wrong ?
I'm surprised that a drop case like Article 15 even got into the Military. My guess is that he got into the Military to dodge the LAW on his heels. And got the Article 15 for evading combat.

You're a waste of skin.
Are you mentally ill? It is completely acceptable and has been done by lots of people over the ages, to commission someone to write what you have to say.
By the way Lumpy the op is not attacking the fact the book reviewer did not actually read the book, he is attacking the Post for actually bringing it up.
If objecting to fake books makes me mentally ill then I'm gladly the sickest fuck in the world. People accepting ghost autobiographies does not make them acceptable by virtue of silence.
I guess you've thrown out all your books written about George Bush then, after all he didn't write them.
Palin didn't write the book so it's safe to say those suffering from PDS reveal themselves by defending Palin. The whole fucking thing is retarded.
Was she the first public figure to have a ghostwriter? No she was not so it is hardly a reason to slam her book unless you hate all ghostwritten material.

Palin Derangement Syndrome Hits Hard
The Washington Post company abandons its standards trying to take down Sarah Palin.
Let us have a moment of silence in honor of the late journalism standards of The Washington Post company. They died last week, a victim of Palin Derangement Syndrome.
First came Newsweek's cover of Palin in running shorts, over a headline of "How do you solve a problem like Sarah?" and a snide kicker that "she's bad news for the GOP--and everybody else too."
Beyond the obvious partisanship, many women, Palin included, found the cover sexist and an attempt to demean her with the bimbo treatment.
There might also be legal fallout. Newsweek, owned by The Post, had no right to use the photo, according to Runner's World magazine, which commissioned it.
The company's flagship paper also embarrassed itself. It published dueling reviews of Palin's book "Going Rogue," with snarky blogger Ana Marie Cox making an astounding confession in her review:
"I cannot claim to have completely read 'Going Rogue' -- I had to skim the last 150 pages (or more than one-third). I only got the thing into my hands late Monday afternoon with a deadline of early evening. It's terrible, I know, but if I didn't read it all, neither can Sarah Palin claim to have completely written it."
My inquiry about how this could possibly be acceptable was answered by Rachel Shea, editor of the paper's Book World. She said in a breezy e-mail: "We thought our reviewers each provided unique perspectives on the book, and Ana Marie Cox was up front about her examination of it."
There you have it. The Post no longer requires reviewers to actually read the books they are reviewing, as long as they are "up front" about it.
It's Sarah Palin's fault.

Palin Derangement Syndrome Hits Hard
Sarah Palin to the liberals is like garlic to a vampire....
Liberals fear of Palin is definately deranged. It's a mental illness.
Great post but I'm getting the feeling even liberals on this board are getting weary of picking on Palin..
I think Obama is a communist. Don't get upset because as long as he is a public figure then he is going to be attacked.
You can't have it both ways after all....

Quite. Anyone who works in the writing industry knows that ghostwriters are a common tool used by pretty much all public figures. This ridiculous obsession over whether a Palin actually 'wrote' the book is laughable. Ghostwriters are professional writers who just produce the actual work. If you've ever read public figures life story, it was more likely than not written by a ghost. Most are not credited with the work - they are paid to sign over credit and sign confidentiality agreements. As a matter of fact, it is highly unusual to find a book that has been written by the public figure themself - most publishers insist upon, provide and pay for the ghostwriter.... because it's a valued skill in the industry.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid.

As already pointed out it doesn't matter if it is accepted in the publishing industry. It's widely accepted in the used car biz to employ any number of deceptive tactics in order to sell cars. People accepting or promoting deception does not remove the ethical violations.

Are you certain Obama wrote his..?
Does jell-o make a good parachute?

If you think Obama is a communist then you're an idiot. If you have your tongue in your cheek, ignore me....

Yet again, all you prove is that you are too fucking stupid to understand basic, simple concepts. It is not unethical at all - even professional fiction writers use ghostwriters at times. There is absolutely nothing unethical about using a professional to write your story for you. It is still your story - they don't make stuff up, what they do is take your story - your words and work them into an interesting, readable, book. They don't change facts, they research where necessary, they spend days - weeks even - with the subject - working closely with that person to write it using the subjects 'voice'. Of course, stupid people will not understand this - because they are too dumb to recognize that they don't know shit about the literary world.
