MSNBC Spreads Lies About Sarah Palin

[GhostsInMyAttic]

The only thing I like about SP is that she drives the Dems into such a frenzy, Now that`s entertainment :)

[qualityrkc]

@GhostsInMyAttic i dunno dude, from my angle it appears as tho the dems love palin. I think you might have it backwards. I think they are always giviing her free press bc they want to make her the most powerful person in the repubs bc she has 0 chance of winning any election

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@qualityrkc Good thought you might be right, I would`nt vote for her I just like the the way she gets Dems all twisted =]

[qualityrkc]

@GhostsInMyAttic as a liberal i personally find palin very entertaining and i love having her around. She does anger us but its more innocent than you portray it. Its like watching the real housewives of nj. You hate them and ridicule them but you wanna see what they will say or do next. Its just good fun.

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@qualityrkc Kinda like a trainwreck she surek nows how to stick her foot in her mouth, I would love to see her do porn =]

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@qualityrkc That`s an angle I can`t see from I`m not a Lefty or a Righty I`m very undecided these days but, I would never vote for Palin and I don`t really care for any of the Republicans running, I guess just see what Obama can do.

I just have a feeling it won`t be good at all.

[qualityrkc]

@GhostsInMyAttic im a fiscal conservative/classical social liberal/and closeted anarchist. The anarchist in me loves Palin.

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@qualityrkc I was reading from a distance and thought you said you were an antichrist

I was like whaaaaaaaaa?...lol I think I need new glasses =]

[transistor64]

Dude, shut up about her daughter being pregnant already. First of all, it's her DAUGHTER'S problem! Not hers. Also, teens get pregnant all the time. It shouldn't be suprising at all. Grow up.

[therohanicelf]

@transistor64

The reason we berate Palin for her DAUGHTER getting PREGNANT is because she is in favor of such PRIMITIVE things as:

ABSTINENCE ONLY.

Her own daughter (and your comment) is proof that we need to teach kids to use condoms, not entertain a fantasy of abstinence.

THAT is why we belabour the fact that her teenage daughter got pregnant.

[72nc]

@therohanicelf True she does sound kinda dumb preaching abstinence while her daughter gets knocked up. But, she did in my mind stood true to her pro-life beliefs by being supportive of her daughters pregnancy. I'm not a big fan of her by any means, and think she is highly unqualified for president(as was Obama in my opinion), but the media goes to extreme lengths to make this women look bad.

[therohanicelf]

@72nc

Absolutely correct, the pregnancy is mostly a source of humor, not necessarily the best criticism.

A better criticism would be that she said that the Soviets won the "race to space", and that it caused the Soviet Union to collapse due to overspending?

Simple maths will tell you that Soviet spending on the space program was insignificant compared to their defense spending.

[72nc]

@therohanicelf Actually it was both that led to their collapse both were examples of the soviets overspending. Go read Robert Gates book in which he wrote about his days as an Soviet analyst for the CIA. Which in there he points out that we(the CIA) from the late 1950s knew there was a " Soviet economic crisis". The soviets and the US didn't really start beefing up there nucs until the 60s. So in a way she was correct( whether she actually knew it or not).

[therohanicelf]

@72nc

1. The "space race" has always been used in the context of a manned trip to the moon.

2. The Soviet Military spending was a factor of 100x greater than their Space program, at every point in their history.

3. The Soviet cosmonaut program lost funding after they lost the race to the moon, and the Soviet collapse, due to government spending, came 20 years after the near-elimination of their space program.

Palin is the only Rep. candidate that would cause me to sit out in the upcoming race.

[72nc]

@therohanicelf the fact that it was greater is irrelavent to the fact that they were in very bad economic trouble beforehand due the failed concept of communism in general. But yes if Palin wins the ticket, I also will be sitting home, but frankly none of the guys running officialy make me too excited!

[72nc]

@therohanicelf And they did to some degree win "the race to space" ever heard of Sputnik?

[r0b0hobo]

The tea party is the best thing that could ever happen for the Democratic party. If a tea party candidate runs for president in 2012 they will get no more than 18% of the vote and most likely take away any chance of a Republican winning. I'm all for Sarah Palin running in 2012 DRILL BABY DRILL!

[TAMPADOC64]

@r0b0hobo "DRILL BABY DRILL" Ahahahha!!! That's SO FUNNY!! Let's see, gas will soon be at $5.00 a gallon, the economy is going to take a second hit, more foreclosures, more unemployment, more debt, more inflation. Just what Obama OBVIOUSLY wants. How stupid of Sarah Palin to want oil independance, why Barack know's it's better for him if we are at the mercy of middle east countries taking our money and crushing our economy. God forbid we control our own oil prices, hail Obama!

[cryppie123]

I honestly have no faith in my country anymore. For a woman this unqualified and unintelligent to be such a high ranking political figure is really disappointing.

[laughingtiger123]

Tea party attendees are protesting TWO THINGS ONLY. 1. Big government (too expensive and wasteful of your dollars) and 2. over-TAXATION. That's it. Anything more is concocted by the left-leaning media.... race, hate, stupidity, living in the past, sexism, ageism, etc... The Boston TEA PARTY was an anti-taxation protest... that's why these TAXATION PROTESTS are called "Tea Parties". Get it? Jeez....

[rysw19]

@kababayanC2 i think listening to rachel maddow is torture, so i'm not familiar with any of that. i turn off msnbc after olbermann.

i don't see what problem there is with chris matthews pointing out that tea partiers are stuck in the past.

and again, there is no other news organization that send out memos telling their reporters what to cover, and what tag-lines to use, and fox does it daily! what other "news" organization initiates, pays for, and advertises anti-government protests?

[WeLikePants]

@rysw19 they wouldn't demonize the tea party if democrats didn't find them a threat

[rysw19]

@WeLikePants i never said they weren't a threat... we have an enormous white, conservative, ready-to-believe-anything-on-f­ox news population.... their ignorance and sheepishness is a threat to our freedom...

[rysw19]

@kababayanC2 raising taxes on the upper-class is not descriminating against the rich. it's making the realization that our government needs to be able to pay for the services we need, and middle-class people can hardly make it as it is, while there are people out there who make more in bonuses what most people will make in hundreds of lifetimes. the truth is that we do need to spread the wealth around a little more. the middle-class isn't by any stretch of the imagination getting their fair....

[rysw19]

@rysw19 share. over the past decade, real wages for most americans dropped significantly, while the real wages for the rich hit new records.

[rysw19]

@kababayanC2 well, first of all, every news channel airs some bad reporting; but that doesn't mean that every pundit on them is a poor journalist. i said earlier. i think (generally speaking) msnbc's daytime news people aren't very good. they are not liars, and they seldom make mistakes, but they are just not great journalists. their evening lineup, on the other hand, is much MUCH better.

[rysw19]

obama isn't going to raise taxes on the middle-class. only the upper-class. if you believe otherwise, you don't know the first thing about him.

i haven't seen msnbc saying that there is no preamble, but that's not exactly propaganda; again, bad journalism, but they obviously wouldn't make that kind of mistake on purpose. what exactly is the point that they would be trying to prove? that they haven't read the constitution? .....

[rysw19]

@rysw19 "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." (one of the most liberal statements ever made.)

[rysw19]

@kababayanC2 look, i've seen that video a few times. it seems quite obvious that they really didn't know. is it bad journalism? absolutely. was it purposeful? definitely not. why is fox the only news organization that sends out memos daily as to what "stories" should be covered, often suggesting a one-liner with it. that's not journalism. fox news is a right-wing propaganda machine.

[rysw19]

@kababayanC2 no, you like fox news because they tell you about the dreamworld you wish existed. fox news is a lobbyist organization for corporate america.

cnn is a very non-partisan network, almost to a fault. (they've been criticized by both sides for this; they are so insistent on being balanced, some say they don't actually cover the news, just both opinions on the news. or bloomberg. or bbc news. all very moderate news channels.

[rysw19]

@rysw19 anyhow, i watch fox news as much (or more) than i watch msnbc. i think it's hilarious that people actually buy into what they're saying, because you have to literally have no idea what is going on in the world outside, only the world according to fox news. you guys act like there are two cable news stations. the fact is that there are several and none of them conveys anything near the fantasy narrative of fox. they say truth has a liberal bias, you know.

[rysw19]

@kababayanC2 no, it wasn't msnbc's footage. i'm liberal, but i'm not necessarily a democrat; but in this case it appears it was an honest mistake. i've thought the same of a few supposed "lies" propagated on fox.

[rysw19]

@kababayanC2 show me another "news" organization whose people actively raise money and campaign for candidates. (over 20 fox news people, all for republicans.)

[rysw19]

@kababayanC2 i've seen that video. they rushed to a hasty conclusion. it was no doubt bad journalism, but not an outright lie. besides, msnbc's daytime people are pretty bad in general, in my opinion. their evening and primetime shows are better.

[webslinger123]

I didnt hear any lies about Sarah Palin in this video...

[rysw19]

@webslinger123 i know lol. where exactly is the lie here?

[tallcoolone1]

she isn't qualified to run a taco stand...

[rysw19]

@tallcoolone1 i think the world would be a better place if we just caged her up lol

[Castropher]

This video is pointless. Where is the proof that these assumptions are false? How come you don't detail these so called lies with facts and evidence?!

After all the lady on the phone just said this is what COULD have happened to cause her resignation. She didn't necessarily say that these statements were true.

SO another epic failure to convict MSNBC of lies

[buddahbully]

Cheny with guns/ terrorists, biden iq, bush in the military/failing highschool, palin other daughters being down syndrome..... those are all provable through footage. and yes, this little video can be proven. ps... never seen conservative news shows lie... name one time (fox) has lied..

[rysw19]

@buddahbully are you serious?

cheny is a self-serving bastard. when did the press ever lie about anything he did?

biden isn't even in the same intellectual league as palin. it's plain to see.

fox lies perpetually. they dedicate segments of daily tv shows to it, and there have been countless documentaries made on it (not to mention all of the youtube videos.... just search fox lies).

[buddahbully]

@rysw19

yea so thats why cheny and bush made medicade.

so can you name a time where fox lied in a story? all i see is that "oh oreilly said shut up when he said we would not"

[rysw19]

@buddahbully bush and cheney didn't make medicaid! medicaid was created in 1965. bush fucked it up by engineering a presciption drug bill that paid the drug companies more money to do what they already did in the first place! it was one of the most wasteful, corrupt bills in united states history.

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 forgetting the ones that obama put in violating amendments and the constitution?

[rysw19]

@buddahbully they told people that healthcare reform would create death panels! hannity has used footage from another event to make smaller ones seem more important. they consistently call obama a socialist, they've claimed he wasn't american, they've claimed he was a muslim! all lies!

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 it is! why would i need to buy something that i already have/dont want? just so some lazy ahole living of welfare, and not being productive can get hc? forcing someone to do/buy something they dont want or need is part of socialism.....

and yes, they called him a muslim before they had proper facts, but later comfirmed that he was an athiest.

just watch fox news, and ill watch msnbc, and ill try not to be bias against them.

[rysw19]

@buddahbully no dipshit. sorry. that is incorrect. it's not about some "lazy ahole living on welfare." anyone on welfare already has health care. this is about extending it to middle-class people who currently can't afford it. and yes, you have to buy health insurance (it will be cheeper, don't worry) because if you don't, and you have a heart attack, the hospital has to treat you, and is often never paid. want to know who pays for it then? the american taxpayer.

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 the extended middle class should be able to pay for healthcare. and no it wont be cheaper... dipshit it would be eaiser if there was just a fucking flat tax

[rysw19]

@buddahbully a flat tax! first of all if we had a flat tax, unless you're in the wealthiest 1%,YOU would pay more in taxes. now let's take a relatively successful person -- my dad. he owns and runs three small businesses and makes $50,000 a year. let's compare him to a corporate exec. his company went down the shitter, got a bailout, and now he takes a $100 million dollar BONUS. that means my dad would have to work 2000 lifetimes (working forty years each) to make what the exec got as a bonus.

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 my dad also runs a small buisness, and i help him out with his programing. (we need to talk more lol) at his peak, he made around 500k, now we are losing money because we are being taxed on money that we havent gotten yet from overseas (6 month rule in china) and going to get once again, slammed by this new tax, even though we dont have any money coming in fast, as it said 6 months ago.

btw, flat tax works in taiwan and hong kong, with some of the best results in the world.(no more space

[rysw19]

@buddahbully that's because taiwan and hong kong are made up of one thing: businessmen! the are "special regions" set aside by the chinese government, basically for the purpose of international business. that's it. sure a flat tax works if everyone is making so much it doesn't matter, but it could never apply to a country like the u.s.! just because a hat fits me doesn't mean it will fit you, too.

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 Actually, if you go to hong kong, most people there are street sweepers/construction workers, and the same goes for taiwan. the actually buisnessmen live in the mainland. But i know what you are trying to say. However, what do you mean by "special regions" china hates taiwan. (my dads from shang hi so i know a little about china)

[rysw19]

@buddahbully it's not about that. it's about the fact that a disproportionate amount of the country's financial wealth is in that area. even if they live on the mainland, their companies are taxed by the region.

[rysw19]

@buddahbully in any case, if most people are street sweepers, what exactly is so great about this flat tax?

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 that everyone pays it

[rysw19]

@buddahbully how on earth could you possibly think it is a good thing for anyone but the wealthy to have a flat tax? it's ridiculous. how could you possibly think a street sweeper deserves more of a tax burden. that's right.... more because a much higher percentage of his income, if not all, is devoted to necessities. the idea is trying to keep taxes on the money that people don't absolutely need just to get by with any semblance of a descent quality of life.

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 there is no additional tax to the flat tax..... do you think that its fair that the 1% of the wealthiest people in america paying taxes runs this country? and that the lower middle class and below have to incentive to work any harder?

[rysw19]

@buddahbully it is absolutely fair -- without a doubt. and to think otherwise either either selfish or ignorant. the fact is that, proportionally, the wealthy have never been as wealthy as they are today. there is more than enough incentive. the fact is that the lower- and middle-classes work harder and longer hours than upper-class people. i'm not going to parot myself. defend the statistics.

[Chslosers]

all flat tax is , is a constant rate unlike the tax code we have now which is progressive.. it just takes out the nonsense. Everyone pays their equal share to society without taking away incentive.

[rysw19]

@Chslosers no, a flat tax is actually a regressive tax, because there is much less discretionary income for a middle- or lower-class person than a rich person has. so while rich people (even after taxes) still have more than they could ever spend, often to the tune of hundreds of times what a middle-class person will make in a lifetime in one year. taxes should be assessed on the money that people don't need to spend just to get by, which is, by definition, a progressive tax.

[Chslosers]

not really.. the progressive tax is only kept in play because it allows us to spend beyond our means. Flat tax can be a low tax like Ireland but it wouldn't allow us to have a massive foreign policy. I see nothing wrong with that.

[rysw19]

@Chslosers well you've said nothing to address the underlying problem i was conveying, so i'd consider your position at best blind, if not immoral. if you honestly believe that, i guess you're entitled to your opinion, but i happen to consider it wrong by any proper moral scale.

[Chslosers]

what's with the ad hominem insult? Immoral? According to one person on youtube. I was talking to you about tax rates, but you went to this defensive position.

[rysw19]

@Chslosers no it was an expression of my opinion that it is any societies' obligation to provide for the general welfare of it's people; i feel it is amoral to watch people go through starvation, forclosure, inequality of opportunity, etc without blinking an eye while there are people who get bonuses that are more than most people would make in hundreds of lifetimes and their lobbyists create loopholes and fund elections to suit their best interest.

[rysw19]

@rysw19 i believe that these people can afford to assume more of the tax burden, considering they are the ones who can afford it without coming close to altering their quality of life, and that they are the ones who are most-benefited by our governments policies?

so yes, i strongly believe it is amoral, and if you disagree you can defend your position, but dismissing it as a personal attack is simply not an option (unless you reject the idea of social responsibilities).

[rysw19]

@rysw19 (meant immoral, not amoral)

[rysw19]

@buddahbully and you believe that that person should pay the same percentage of his income in taxes!?! it's insane! it's immoral! you need to look up the facts man. whew.

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 what are you talking about? flat tax is not supposed to be pitched high, its supposed to enforce taxes paid by everyone.

seeing that only barley 50% of Americans actually pay taxes, and that the richest people in america have the highest tax %... its actually a decent idea to have a flat tax instead of having semi rich small buisness owners bleeding in taxes like the huge companies

[rysw19]

@buddahbully i'm saying that, mathematically, if we were going to take in anywhere near the amount of money that we are right now in taxes (which already isn't enough to pay for the services we expect) and we're going to have a flat tax, the top one percent will pay less than they do now and everyone else will pay more. just simple algebra. the fact is that liberals aren't trying to raise taxes on small business (and a flat tax would). they're trying to cut their taxes and let the rich pay a ...

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 im also trying to say that if EVERYONE contributed, and small buisness were not put under the same allignment as big ones.... yeaa... were using two seperate routes to the same desination

[rysw19]

@buddahbully little more because they can pay for it without sacrificing anything in terms of quality of life. that's all there is to it.

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 thats true, when my dad first started buisness, we sold the tv/radio and got canned food. im just mad that no one really cares in the pencil pushing tier of govt

[rysw19]

@buddahbully when you hear something in the national media, you assume it is true, and that nobody is trying to exploit you, but the truth is that that's what the conservative media does every day in this country. it's sickening. people should be able to turn on the news without being sold a political agenda in a neat little bow.

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 every show has their bias towards one side. its the same thing w/ liberal media, too. its people on the shows are SHOWMEN then their representative parties. If you want your fair news, look up that facts yourself

[rysw19]

@buddahbully the difference is that fox fabricates, misrepesents, and distorts their news. i do look up the facts for myself. i watch news (of a variety of organizations) to point me in the direction to look. that's the whole point. the problem is that many people will listen to beck's lunatic rants and come out of it believing that obama is equivalent to hitler, and that a revolution is in necessity. tell me where in the "liberal media" that that sort of thing occurs.

[rysw19]

@buddahbully of those fifty percent are retired people and children.... and the rest of the people either can't support themselves completely already (even though they have a job) or wouldn't be able to if they had to pay taxes. do you know what the average family income is in the u.s.? $26k/year (basically two people workng minimum wage jobs). could you live on that? the fact is that this country has given people wild opportunity, and they should contribute back to our society by paying more.

[rysw19]

@buddahbully (they can afford it. what are you going to do? steal people's mortgage payments or rent money? a flat tax is really just obsurd.)

[rysw19]

@buddahbully the truth is i watch fox news more than any other network. i think it's hilarious what they convince people of and the lunatics they put on the air. better than colbert or stewart!

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 okay then, i just think o reilly is a die hard conservative, and sometimes needs to tone it down :p same with keith, (liberal) but i dont care for him to much

[rysw19]

@buddahbully i auplaud your openness to something new though :)

[buddahbully]

@rysw19 thx :D

[ARMYRYAN48]

You are guilty Sarah Palin Abuse of power. Taking out Republicans one at a time You are not above the law Sarah. Troopergate is your true color.

[JimMcClusky123]

Pompous ass elites! This Woman is real and you have the gall to treat her like this. She is a breath of fresh air compared to this Egotistical, socialist, anti-christian racist, we now have has a President!

[MaximusRelaximus]

No, she's an idiot, and so is anybody who can't recognize such an obvious truth. Oh, and what makes Obama "anti-Christian," you mindless sheep?

[felixbaxter]

@JimMcClusky123

[Hybrid5784]

@JimMcClusky123

She truly is an idiot. Even though it's completely disgraceful for her to leave her duly elected post as governor, it was probably for the best so she wouldn't run Alaska into the ground and ruin her chances for 2012 (or getting money from talking circuits.)

The only thing she's good at is shooting moose from helicopters. And you have to be really pathetic at hunting to require a helicopter to hunt a wild animal.

[JimMcClusky123]

Sad Sad, We people in Alaska love her. The Libs hate her because she is a Woman and tough! How in the hell the Woman Libs hate her amazes me? SHE is a Woman that can do it all. Raise a family, lead the Countries largest State and scare the crap out of the President!! She is Woman hear her roar! GO SARAH!!!!

[exmilguy]

...and quit. don't forget quit. she's amazing at leaving the class halfway through the exam. GO SARAH!!!! halfway through your obligation.

[Castropher]

Hahaha wow...First off liberals hate her because high school kids know more about American History than she does. She doesn't read, she thinks foreign policy experience is obtained by governing a state right next to Russia and much more! Look it up!

Largest state? Well in population, which matters more than land mass, Alaska has very low pop.

She cannot do it all cause she just quit being governor! What makes you think she would not do the same if she had been elected Vice President!

[rysw19]

@JimMcClusky123 no, libs don't like her because she doesn't have the mental capacity to run the greatest nation on earth. she's a moron and i can;t believe you people don't see it! all she is is a collection of one-liners and you people go crazy. tell me one real solution she's ever presented beyond the rhetoric. and to think that you people would love to see her as president.... scary day in the us if that ever happens.

[rysw19]

@JimMcClusky123 i wouldn't trust that woman with a curling iron, let alone a nuclear arsenal (notice: nu-cle-ar).

[TheLiberalsSuck]

if what they were saying was true they would be #1 or close...there IS a reason they are dead last...

Thank you FOX News for telling the truth America needs to hear.

[kobewild1]

jajaja thats all MSNBC does just tell lies and lies  no wonder their rating are down the drain

FOXNEWS #1

[huhbuhguh]

YES MSN LIES

[AtlasShruggery]

There are no lies in this video.

Most of us knew that Sarah Palin was in way over her empty head as a governor. Her resignation just confirms it.

Sara Palin proves she's not a quitter. By quitting.

[5THGENTXN]

Where's the "lie"?

[slamahammer]

ive been to 3 circus's, 2 goat fuckings and ive never seen a nigger accomplish anything.. never.. so hows baraqs hope and change workin out-- 10%unemployment and GROWING-- great job baraq

[5THGENTXN]

Yours is a relevant comment to this video.

But then again, you were probably one of the goats getting fucked.

Have you ever been more than 20 miles away from your place (barn) of birth?

[Orsino]

Palin and her supporters ran out of excuses long ago, and were reduced to recycling allegations of vast conspiracies against the GOP's prize-stroker-in-chief.

If Palin had really wanted to earn respect, she might have worked at something besides Being Pretty.

[RichardE8ST]

Palin is incompetent, corrupt, greedy, and dishonest. Neocons still love her because she can say tax cuts, small government, guns and bibles for everyone.

[robertelee7]

and you hate her because she isn't a democrat, like all good female politicians should be! She scares democrats because she is loved by so many people.

[brelfan]

If she runs for President , she'll be trounced like McCain was. She brought him down. Not saying he'd win, but her name on the ticket as a running mate was laughable, somewhat scary and negatively affected his candidacy. What's amazing is that Republicans continue to support her, though she helped bring a good Repulbican, one who Democrats at least respected, to his knees. She's stupid and corrupt. Hillary's corrupt. But a brilliant, experienced, scrappy lady. Palin's a nobody with airtime.

[MrsTT816]

The MSNBC host (who knows who he is???) concludes the "report" by thanking a HuffPo blogger for her "intriguing and terrific reporting?" What a joke! No wonder FNC crushes these guys in the ratings.

[RainyJane]

Shannyn Moore injects that there are rumors of a Federal investigation of the Palins. No facts - just rumors. The next day or two later the FBI issues a rare statement that she is not under investigation at all. Journalism on MSNBC has hit an all time low when rumors and speculation become newsworthy.

[MaximusRelaximus]

hmm, i tuned in expecting to hear some blatant lies, like:

"Palin is not obviously an idiot," or,

"It's not true that only incredibly gullible hillbillies and yokels would support her for anything above dog catcher," or

"Palin is a model of integrity, and not a flagrant hypocrite and chronic quitter."

[dnvlgm]

so where are the lies MSNBC supposedly spread? As far as I am concerned all they did was report on what the Huffington Post published. MSNBC never said it was true or false... fucking ignorant conservatives, damn

[chamelia]

I hope she goes on Oprah soon. I hope she doesn't stop going on tv she is very entertaining, but I think we should stop picking on her.

[EternalInfidel]

Palin is a moron and she needs to shut the fuck up and go the fuck away... hey, it would be better if they put her in jail... or shoot the the dumb cunt

[Shiftfallout]

Palin has been dealing with Frivolous lawsuits, rich liberals are playing to keep them going, costing Palin, a mother of 5 with a grandchild, over $500,000, just to deal with the lawsuits. They are frivolous, and the goal is to make Palin's spend so much of her families money that she goes broke. ITS F*CKING SICK whats allowed to happen to this women and her family.

[nextdrink45]

She's been DESTROYED by the left-wing nutjob lame-stream media which has put this perception on her of being a bad person. But in actual fact, they are scared of her and what she stands for! Palin doesn't care about a title.

Palin WILL be back!!!

All of you left-wing nutjobs watch out!

[Shiftfallout]

The media should be fined for what they have said regarding her, regardless of which political party they belong to... the media should not be allowed to lie, smear, insult, attack a specific candidate. I hope Letterman gets fined big for actually insulting Palin's daughter, of all people, and telling everyone shes getting nailed by baseball players at a game. Its just ridiculous whats happening, people should be outraged...but because shes a conservative, its suddenly ok. Its sick.

[nextdrink45]

I hope she sues every last one of them who printed, or braodcasted nothing but lies about her during the 2008 campaign and beyond, and hope she wins them all!!! Starting with SNL who said that she said "you can see Russia from my house" which is a obsurdity at the least!!! She actually said that you can see Russia from parts of Alaska, which is TRUE!!!!! You can see Russia from parts of Alaska!

[alltheblacks]

By god, are you serious? SNL? Have you no concept of satire? SNL has been doing that to politicians for 30 years you moron. Satire is not a lie you imbecile, it's comedy. If you think SNL is a news show or somehow distorting the truth as some agenda, you probably have an IQ somewhere in the low 60s.

[nextdrink45]

OK that was a very bad analogy on my part. But the fact is that there are a lot of people who think she actually said that she can see Russia from her house. Thanks to SNL. When that in fact couldn't be further from the truth!

Palin has been destroyed by the media any way you look at it. The lame-stream media did more vetting of her in 1 month after she was announced as McCains running mate, than they did to Obama even to this day.

[alltheblacks]

Well if people get their news from SNL, there's not much hope. The fact is, the media's role is to uncover things about politicians. Palin went through the same thing that happens to every politician, if you come away from that scrutiny tarnished, that's not the fault of the media. They do nothing but expose findings. Palin exposed herself in the election as someone who isn't very well informed or prepared for the job she was tapped for.

[MaximusRelaximus]

a. if people believe that due to obvious satire, then, guess what? they're idiots

b. of course it's not true, but it could certainly be a lot further from the truth. for example, stating that she said, "nobody can see russia from alaska" would be further from the truth. stating that she said "nobody can see anything from anywhere" would be a bit further yet from the truth.

c. she destroyed herself with her words. she can barely speak, let alone make a coherent point, much less an intelligent 1

[alltheblacks]

Brilliant idea! Who do you suggest will be handing out the fines, the government? So the government should somehow handle determining the truth in the media and sanctioning news? Have you read the 2nd amendment to the constitution? If you want government controlled media, maybe you should ask people in facist states like North Korea how they like their political reporting. That is the stupidest idea I've seen here and that's really saying something.

[Shiftfallout]

Dont jump to conclusions alltheblacks, you are being stupid. Its not a matter of he said she said, its information that is clearly not true being spread as true. It should never be profitable to spread misinformation, lies, and smears. Letterman for example should be in deep shit for saying Palin's daughter is getting nailed at a baseball game while her mom continued to watch. You unknowingly point out that an Obama run government cannot be trusted. Good Job.

[alltheblacks]

What conclusions did I jump to? Interesting that it's not a matter of he said/she said, yet Letterman should be busted for...what he said. Letterman's a comedian, again, this is not the news. What does an Obama run government have to do with the media? Try to focus, I know your paranoia is impacted by many things, but if you think about it, you might make a logical point.

[729Drew]

YEAH, Palin's going to put the HOLY GHOST in them...WE need more religion in our government...JESUS WAS REPUBLICAN! PRAYER IN SCHOOLS! GUNS FOR EVERYONE, TAX THE POOR!

[zeecee1]

I like how they're careful to introduce the radio host as "progressive" instead of liberal, haha.

[baronmorris]

Great commentary by Schuster. That Palin is a mindless harpy skag.

Na Na Na Na

Na Na Na Na

Hey Hey Hey

Goodbye!

[pgthinker007]

Why media doe not criticizes Biden daughter who has been involved in drugs. They accuse Sarah Palin since McCain chose her for VP candidate.

[5random1]

Resignation speech: "Dead fish go with the flow."

Well, Sarah. Flush it.

[jonsalvator]

OMG, what are you all talking about? I absolutely ADORE Sarah Palin! *gulp*

[foodope]

Good video, wrong title.

[VanCityGal]

Haha. You said it!

[berjaboy]

David says; "Lets put this in perspective." So how does he put it in perspective? He asked progressive (Code word for liberal) Shanon Moore a liberal blogger who basically accused Palin on her blog of embezzling millions from Alaska and was under investigation by the FBI. So instead of MSNBC asking the FBI if Palin was being investigated they ask Ms Moore, the lady who started the rumor. Well guess what, according to the FBI there is no investigation, never was. MSNBC is a total bias joke.

[drpeaches1979]

I agree that their should have been more reporting and less speculation. But the problem is not bias at MSNBC. The bias is inherent in cable news and the 24 hour news cycle that requires anchors to fill vasts amount of time with "stuff," whether well-researched or not. This is an example of Palin's political naivete, why would you make such an announcement in a such rushed and incomplete way, and expect that the media wasn't going speculate about any and all possibilities. She is not ready.

[berjaboy]

Its not the news media to decide if she ready or not, it's the voting public. Not saying the media shouldn't be critical of her policy in commentary. However, reporting stories that have nothing to do with her ability to lead, such as claiming her disabled child is actually her daughters or reporting details about her daughters pregnancy should be off limits. It always was with other politician. I won't even get into her being called a slut or jokes about her daughter being raped on latenight.

[drpeaches1979]

I wish the media wouldn't do a lot of things. I wish Rush Limbaugh didn't make fun of Chelsea Clinton. I wish the media didn't report conspiracy theories and innuendo about the Clintons. I wish late night comics didn't make fun of Hillary's looks and question her femininity. I wish they didn't report on her clothes. I wish that the media didn't declare that Howard Dean was not ready because of a scream at a rally. The point: the media isn't fair. Hasn't been fair for a while. It's the game.

[berjaboy]

Okay, so two wrongs don't make a right. That said, it still isn't the media's job to sway voters using unsubstantiated stories. MSNBC is relaying a story from a "Progressive" blogger that Palin embezzled money from Alaska and is under investigation by the FBI. All MSNBC had to do was call the FBI to substantiate it. If they did they would of found it was all a lie. But instead MSNBC reports it as truth. This kind of nonsense has been going on the last 8 months. That's why Palin is suing.

[drpeaches1979]

Well, she should sue Fox News as well. They had someone who repeated the same claim on the air today. I agree with you on the need for better journalism. But what you see as bias: i see as a poor journalism, a rapid, rabid media that uses anything to fill air time.

[berjaboy]

If Fox is spreading lies then she has a right to go after them also. In the end the woman has every right to protect her name and reputation from unscrupulous reporters. Maybe, if you started hitting them where it hurts, their pockets, they will stop, and start acting like respectable journalists.

[drpeaches1979]

Wait a second!!! First, we don't know if these accusations are false. They could be true. Only time will tell. Second, she actually doesn't have a legal basis to sue.

[berjaboy]

Yes, they are false. After Palin threatened to sue, msnbc hurried up and called the FBI to see if they could substantiate the story and the FBI said it was false. They said there is no investigation into Palin embezzling anything, never was. That's why msnbc took it off their web site. Makes you wonder why they just didn't call them in the 1st place.

[drpeaches1979]

Do you have a source for that claim? Where did you read this story?

[berjaboy]

Absolutely. Google up; "Palin not subject of FBI investigation"

[drpeaches1979]

Thanks. There was a good story in the LA Times about it. You're right. The allegations are false: meaning there isn't an investigation and she's not going to get indicted. I hope the entire media stops reporting the story.

[berjaboy]

Thank you, I enjoyed our dialog.

[drpeaches1979]

Likewise!!!

[Shiftfallout]

They wont stop though, they have been out to make her look as bad as possible since day one. Real journalism is dead it seems, or at least when it comes to politics. Right now the media is just a tool for their political affiliations. If Fox were to ever disappear, then it would be one sided propaganda.

[drpeaches1979]

I wish Republicans didn't make a political issue of private family issues. I wish Republicans didn't demean unwed and/or teenage mothers. I wish Republicans didn't hold politicians and their families to impossible moral standards. But they did. For two decades, they made morality and sin a key concern of the conservative movement. Yet whenever one of their own cannot live by those same standards they say its unfair to discuss it. That's hypocrisy, and its wrong.

[berjaboy]

I thought we we talking about the media and Palin? I thought this was about the msm spreading lies about her? As far as politicians using morality as a political platform, I assure you, once they screw up the media is all over them, so they're not getting away with anything. That said I'm still not sure what that has to do with the story we were discussing? Palin's not getting a divorce, she didn't cheat on her husband, she didn't have a kid out of wedlock, what's the point in regards to Palin?

[drpeaches1979]

The point is that the reason that media scrutinizes personal and family lives of politicians is because Conservatives pushed the media during the 80s and 90s to make an issue out of private morality, individual and family. And, quick frankly, Bristol's pregnancy is a political issue because of Palin's view of sex education, contraception, and abortion. Plus, do not forget Palin allowed Bristol to appear on the cover of People magazine and discuss her baby.

[Umisspelledit]

She was in the deep end without being able to swim trying to be involved in federal politics.

The only people who supported Palin were single issue values voters. (faith-tards)

[Shiftfallout]

So you are saying those who have faith are retarded? Thats a pretty bold and ignorant claim. Furthermore, many liked Palin for who she was and her ability to make common sense decisions. Sarah Palin is pro-life, however, she put in a pro-choice judge because they were the more qualified judge in her opinion. That alone disproves your baseless claim. A lot of us are just fed up with politicians in general, and it was disgusting what the media did to her.

[Umisspelledit]

I want to be careful here.. I might offend good honest moderate Christians , many of which are democrats. However just saying she could "make common sense decisions" LOL

Faith-tard

[Shiftfallout]

Not "could" , but rather "has" made common sense decisions. She managed to double state revenue without increasing taxes on the people of her state, thus able to raise the level of everything from education and safety to future investments for the state, while also managing to have the best oil and natural gas development plan that included protecting the environment. There is no way you can logically say she was bad and only appealed to those of faith, which you call retarded. Grow up.

[Umisspelledit]

Me grow up?

I outgrew Jesus and Santa Claus years ago.

[Shiftfallout]

It sounds like your real agenda here is just to bash theist, most likely because you are an Atheist. This has nothing to do with Sarah Palin apparently, though you use her as a means to insult anyone who believes in the existence of God. If faith is an indicator of retarded-ness, then take a moment to think about everything in your life you take on faith, even in science and theory, even in politics. Everyone uses faith, therefore according to you everyone must be retarded.

[Shiftfallout]

I also want to remind you that Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein...and many other famous and yet brilliant people believed in God. According to you, they must be "faith-tards" as well correct? The point im trying to make here is that you have no point. You are being illogical, childish, and have shown your real intent here is to not comment regarding Sarah Palin, but rather to promote your own hypocritical anti-theistic agenda. The world isnt just black and white champ.

[Umisspelledit]

It would take a lot of faith to believe Palin is not an idiot.

That kind of faith is not a virtue.
