She normally writes and comments about the goings on in the celebrity / political circles here in Chicago, but strayed from this topic to make her feelings known on the Palin media and liberal blogosphere gang rape of her character and family..
I have to give her credit for standing up to the ludicrous (no not Obama's good friend, raunch rapper Ludicrous) and scurrilous charges being leveled against Palin and her family, and will give her usual liberal views more consideration in the future because of this stance taken yesterday.
The Palin file: It had to be said ::CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Michael Sneed: "I do have an opinion. Really. I rarely write about my life, except for occasional references to my family and growing up in the grasslands of North Dakota.
And rarely, as a columnist, do I write about issues . . . although I have the cachet to do so.
Then Hillary Clinton ran for president and was hit with more sexist barbs than St. Sebastian had arrows.And when John McCain chose (gulp!) a good-looking woman from Alaska named Sarah Palin as his running mate, the liberal pundits threw every red shoe at her they could find -- and tossed as many hair pins at her as they could muster.
That frosted my cake.
Being first and fair was my journalistic baptism in the tumultuous 1960s.
Unfortunately, fairness keeps getting redefined.
Our reporters are fair and unbiased, but it's no secret Obama adoration is overflowing in our columns.
My colleagues have a right to their opinions, but I've decided to interject a little balance in the column trade.
I've been in the newspaper business a hell of a lot longer than most of our columnists, but that doesn't mean I'm wiser and smarter. But I do have history.
Covering the return of nine Marine POWs to Camp Pendleton from Vietnam's Hanoi Hilton -- where McCain was imprisoned for more than five years -- gives me an intimate perspective.
Words barely describe his bravery and valor. I heard it first hand.
There is also no excuse for the way McCain deserted his wife, who waited for him to come home. But as with every tortured mind there is a reason -- and McCain has never tried to hide what he did or make an excuse for it.
And if you think Sun-Times readers are only Obama supporters, think again. Here's some excerpts from Sneed's mail bin Tuesday.
"It seems you are the only columnist in Chicago that dare say anything good about [Palin]. I am so sick of the Obamamania around Chicago. I live in the city and would love to put up a McCain/Palin yard sign, but I think my house might get bombed."
Isn't that the truth, that's how it is around here but these jackboots don't scare me one bit and they're welcome to my front door if they wanna die a quick painful death should they choose to engage this conservative who's had enough of their scare tactics.

"I was pleasantly surprised by your article about Sarah Palin. I was very disturbed and offended by the number of liberal, one-sided articles in the Sun-Times Sept. 13th. Frankly, if I wasn't disabled with the use of only one arm, I contemplated dropping my Sun-Times subscription last Saturday, but it is much easier to read with only one hand."
I've contacted this woman through the Sun Times in order to try and advance her ♠my used laptop computer I no longer need nor use , a Acer Aspire notebook that I'm sure she will enjoy no longer having to be so limited in her news choices should they contgact her if possible to respond to my offer♠.
A NOTE>>>>I tried to send Obama's destitute brother some money in order to publish the canceled check on this blog (post here) to claim More help was derived from complete strangers here in America to Obama's kin than he himself has ever provided. They woudl not provide a contact nor act as an intermediary in the offer,
