Morning Joe: 'Is This Daily Kos or the Associated Press?'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/06/2008 4:44:49 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

The Associated Press has long been a bastion of liberal bias. But has it now sunk to the level of a left-wing blog in the throes of a severe bout of Palin Derangement Syndrome? Yes, suggests the Morning Joe folks. In a rare bit of unanimity, the panel condemned and ridiculed AP for its "analysis" item, "Palin's words carry racial tinge." According to Douglass K. Daniel, the item's author, Palin's criticism of Barack Obama for his association with Ayers somehow carries "a racially tinged subtext." See Warner Todd Huston's earlier discussion here.

Mika Brzezinski questioned the strategic wisdom of the McCain campaign's playing of the Ayers card, but even she joined in the excoriation of the AP.

The Daily Kooks is far more measured that the Ass Press.

McCain decision yesterday, to announce forthrightly the issue about William Ayers, has got all of the liberal MSM, the DNC, and the Obama campaign scared. BRAVO!.

“The last four weeks of this election will be about whether the American people are willing to turn our economy and national security over to Barack Obama, a man with little record, questionable judgment, and ties to radical figures like unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. Americans need to ask themselves if they’ve ever befriended an unrepentant terrorist, or had a convicted felon help them buy their house — because those aren’t smears, those are true facts about Barack Obama.” —Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008

http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/05/ap-palins-a-racist-for-bringing-up-ayers-or-something/

The real question is what the American people will do...and with Sarah out there all over the country, that is becoming more and more clear with each passing day.





SARAH PALIN SPOTTED "HIDING" FROM THE PRESS IN VA, CA, & NV



I'M VOTING FOR SARAH...AND SO ARE A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE

You have a great point. Lefties are easier subjects for brainwashing than your avg. bear. We, on the right, just have done what the left leaders have done. It wasn’t right to manipulate the sheep like that, until now.

THIS is the beauty of having Palin leading this charge.

After the debates, even the media acknowledge her connection with Mr. & Mrs. Six-Pack and the media know that the Six-Packs see no "racial tinge" in her comments.

If McCain-Palin play this right, the media bias will turn on itself.

How’s it racially tinged? Ayers is white. And he’s unashamed about being a terrorist and wished he had killed more people. And he’s Obama’s top advisor. A terrorist is a terrorist, no matter their race. Period.

Pat Buchanan’s commentary at the end of that segment hits the nail on the head.

Biased NBC's Moderator: "Of course we lie. We also hide the relationships of our people
and their families to Fannie Mae, terrorists, and the DNC for example.
...... What else would a news channel do?"

Pat Buchanan said - in the same segment; “But if the Republicans and the conservatives don’t peel the hide off of Barack Obama...”

You go Pat...

Early on, the Obamanations made it clear that ANY attack on their savior would be, by definition, racist. They’re just floating that nonsense out again...
