On the Friday edition of Morning Meeting, host Dylan Ratigan featured fake photos of Sarah Palin during a mocking segment on why Americans are fascinated with the former vice presidential candidate. While listing the show’s top ten reasons, Ratigan showed a doctored photo of Palin’s head on the bikini-clad body of a woman holding a weapon.

Here’s some more ad hominem for you. You’re a troll. Buzz off.

[DryFly]

Thanks for continuing to prove my point.

You seem to think you are talking about reasonable honest people. None there....

MSNBC, the American version of Pravda.

That is so obviously photoshopped! The boobs are too big. And probably too high.

I know it is photoshopped. Did it myself. Most of the manipulated images I post here are my own creations.







But I don't use Photoshop. I use a free open source program called GIMP.

"..perhaps WE need to hitch our wagon...".

We!??!? A bit presumptuous there, huh sweetie? The adults among us can be non-commital about a candidate for 2012 yet still recognize, and not defend, the constant MSM hit job on Palin.

Oh, couldn't help notice all the Welsh decorations on your home page, so what do you think their chances are in the World Cup next year? Oh yeah, those losers failed to qualify - AGAIN!!

Do you actually believe that MSNBC has competent enough reseachers to detect that photo is a fake, and has been known to be fake for a year? They don’t. They are simply incompetent and are not anything like a news organization.

Thank you so much to clinging to your idiocy with such fervor.

Laughing this hard, as we on this thread all are at you, is good for our health

No apology necessary. It’s called political caricature and has been used for millenia to make fun of political figures.

As far as I know she's a private citizen now. I hope her lawyer was watching.

In law, defamation – also called calumny, libel, slander (for spoken words), and vilification (for written or otherwise published words) – is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image. It is usually, but not always,[1] a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).

Is MSDNC still around?? They do this to get uproar, don’t give them the pleasure.

Pray for America and Gov Palin

That is great man, you can use a word like “daft”. “Self caricature”, interesting concept. Goes to show you can combine words in any way you want. You have no point, just attitude. Angry face, delusions of intelligence.

The sad thing is that they don't notice the difference. The first time I saw the bikini pic, I was surprised that the girl didn't look anywhere near as cute as Sarah normally does ... for about two seconds before I realized it wasn't Sarah. I felt the same watching SNL the night they had Sarah. I heard she'd be on, turned it on, and felt a moment of disappointment at how plain she looked ... again for about two seconds before I realized it was just Tina Fey.

I don't support Sarah Palin just because she's cute. I haven't even firmly decided to support her in 2012. What I have decided is that she could be a great candidate based on her record and her political positions. I want her to win the nomination on merit and not because it's "her turn", but I'd be happy to support another good campaigner who also holds pro-Constitution, pro-gun (I repeat myself), pro-America positions.

"Then perhaps we need to hitch our wagon to someone who is taken a bit more seriously and who would not be confused as some redneck biker chick pretending to be a real politician."

You're not a dry fly, you're a dead fly. Git.

BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

Sorry, I’m here for the duration.

Bingo! You, sir, are amazing.

The bottom one should be captioned: "She's tan. She's fit. She's ready!"
