Unfortunately the air headed rank and file of the left will believe it to be true. This is definately law suit time if reported as fact even if there is a retraction buried somewhere. The retraction must be LARGER than the original reporting and repeated on every media platform as originally reported.
It doesnt matter if its real or not. Perception is reality. Lets say 1 million people hear the lie and believe it, then eventually 500,000 find out its a lie. In the end you have 500000 people with anti palin attitudes.
If she didn’t say - somebody should have. I agree with the fake but true statement about Christina Agulara. And, she trashed Arizona. And she has bad hair.
“IIRC weren’t you also fearful of the Todd Palin sex scandal by National Enquire hoax being true?”
Feel free to provide the comment I made regarding the fake sex scandal, I’d like to read it. Until I read it I have no idea what you’re getting at.
For what it’s worth, Aguilera did do a poor job of singing the national anthem. It wasn’t just messing the words up, her delivery was not respectful. Yes, I realize that’s par for the course these days.
Although if the MSM is running with a fake story, that is far worse than Palin (or anyone) commenting on a poor singer, however popular she may be.
No don’t get me wrong! Im not accusing you, i though you were the one who said you were and was just curious! no harm intended
exactly... just like the “I can see russia from my house” quote - she never said it, but I bet you anything your standard issue libtard believes she did, and will quote it to you as an example of how “stupid” Palin is... (never mind it actually demonstrates their stupidity.)
I’m not upset Aguilera blew it. Heck, that is probably the most pressure she ever faced.
What pissed me off is her PR people saying afterwards that she loves America with all her heart. Well if she loves the country with all her heart, sing its National Anthem correctly.
>> Just when you think they reach the bottom of the abyss...
The Tucson defamation will remain the epic bottom.
“exactly... just like the “I can see russia from my house” quote - she never said it, but I bet you anything your standard issue libtard believes she did, and will quote it to you as an example of how “stupid” Palin is... (never mind it actually demonstrates their stupidity.)”
The left has learned that even ridiculous charges serves their purpose of turning people against their enemies. In the end they are not held accountable for the lies, so they can inflict damage without consequence.
Of course not. This reminds me of the idiot Matt Damon who, during the campaign, said he was concerned that Palin thought Dinosaurs roamed the Earth 6000 years ago. His "concern" was based on a parody of Palin done on some blog, and the brilliant Damon took it and ran with it, making a complete fool of himself in the process.
It is indeed a tactic -- done on purpose. I nearly ruined a dinner party recently when another guest started spewing media misinformation about the Palin-Russia quote and I calmly but firmly rebutted it.
Unfortunately, perception becomes reality and most conservatives are far too fearful of standing up -- loudly -- for the truth. I'm betting the other dinner party guest won't feel quite the same sense of entitlement in repeating partisan lies in the future.
Oh for crying out loud, I’ve never heard Sarah refer to someone in that kind of mean spirited way. No way, Jose.
True, but there are those celebrities who have done worse than just messing up a few words: Roseanne Barr not only grabbed her crotch (a la Michael Jackson) but spat at the end of the national anthem. Michael Bolton has screwed up the anthem, too, and Hillary Clinton didn’t even know the lyrics and botched it as well. These are just a few instances that I remember.
lawsuit time
Well if she loves the country with all her heart, sing its National Anthem correctly.
I think this is being blown all out of proportion. Years ago Robert Goulet messed up the words to both teh US and Canadian National Anthems.
It happens. Everybody get over it.
You can see how desperate they are. They keep trying being openly caught in lies like this.
Not a problem. Wait until she goes overseas, then put her on the no-fly list.
