The press corps has a mild buzz going about a weekend contretemps ginned up, for publicity's sake, by Sarah Palin's camp, in her ongoing campaign to show how badly she is victimized by the media. The odd thing is that she has been victimized by the media, horribly so, and many of us (myself included, in several posts after the Gabby Giffords shooting) have rushed to her defense -- so she doesn't need to gin up controversies out of thin air. But that's exactly what she and her team did this past weekend.

How DARE you call him a “reporter”! Have you no shame????
;)
Lindy, considering I have no power to “threaten” anyone with anything, and considering anyone who takes a trip through your posting history can see what you are about, I don’t ‘really’ have to say anything at all. I just won’t let you flip flop around like Romney and that upsets you. Too bad, so sad.
You SHOW the people here WHERE I EVER threatened one single person with power I do not posses.
Or be shown a total liar. Good look with that. And BTW, until you do find what isn’t there, don’t be surprised if I remind you of that from time to time.
ES?
Take your alphabet sooup and shove it up your ass!
You Norm are cheesy hack. I don’t elevate you to any status to remind me of a damn thing. You are really a pathetic little wanker unworthy of notice.
I only run into you on Bachmann threads where you jump in to trash her as always personally and never on issues or policy positions. You are really good at that. Hard to trash her on issues.
Bachmann was always liked on this site. She was championed in many ways when Palin was just a GOP Governor of Alaska. Not known or known to be a conservative.
I jumped on this thread because of the day long personal attacks brought to us by the media and elevated by Palin fans.
Jealousy? Yes it is.
My posting history is far easier to see what I am about in general. I didn’t just start posting for one person before election time.
You have very little posting other than Palin related so I figure you are a paid hack.
I am quite aware you have no power. That is what makes you one sorry person. But what you do is bring the boss in the conversation as a casual reminder. Pretty weak and sad.
Yeah, she messed up on that. After all Elvis might get upset. Maybe her corndog was tainted...pehaps a peanut butter, bacon grease, and banana sandwich would have helped.
No, I agree. Michele needs to watch stuff like that. I like her on the issues that are important, but she needs to check things like this out better.
Indy, you are at day one with no proof and a liar who accuses me of something I did not do. Show your proof. Until then go play in traffic.
I am sorry you say things and cannot back them up. That is a character flay. I am sorry you project your social inadequacy on Sara Palin and her supporters. That’s a liberal character flaw. Now go find proof of me threatening anyone or apologize.
The other poster gives you a link to clarify the story and you respond with KMA? Sounds a bit overboard wouldn’t you say?
PS: please show proof of me ever “Bringing the boss in as a casual reminder” JR would be surprised to hear that. Ask him yourself.
Reminder of what BTW? Trolling?
Sotty Lindy, that’s 2 lies about me with no proof. You ARE quite the little liar aren’t you.
PROVE IT TROLLBAIT.
Don't pull the you not as conservative as me BS. People around here that know me would laugh at you. LOL
What I accused you of is just a few posts back.
Must be a flay, er, flaw in your thinking. Deres a whole lotta inadequacy goin' on round here.
Goodnight Norm. Gets some rest for all the troll huntin’ tomorrow.
Okay, you have a very short memory plus you just did it again.

Lindy, A spelling flame is juvenile. It does not provide any cover for the fact that you lied, twice and have not the personal character to admit it.
Again, show me where I have ever ‘threatened’ anyone” or called the boss to ‘remind’ anyone of anything.
Tomorrow will be day 2 of the wait. Why not just admit you had a little tantrum because someone caught you trolling and not another word needs be said.
And please, call JR and volunteer to go ‘Trollhunting”. With your stellar posting history on the subject I’m sure he’d be interested. Though not for the reasons you’d like us to believe.
Oh but didn’t I already do that???? Call JR I mean? God Lindy, you can’t keep anything straight.
“To: indylindy
Im not trying to be funny Lindy? I asked questions to better understand why you post all manner of snide and disparaging remarks about Palin as your posting history shows, act catty toward her and her family and supporters and just generally dont contribute anything positive on a site the boss calls Palin Country and has 87% of the members being Palin supporters?
Whats funny about that?”

What’s your point? Where is the threat? Thats 3 lies Lindy. You sure can rack’em up fast.
I remember that thread, or one like it, except it was full of people insisting that the shirt meant that she was running, and it was the “answer” to that question people keep wanting to ask “Are you Running?” “I am”.
Eventually someone found the actual shirt online, found out it was an “I am a Mom” shirts, and that pretty much shut down that speculation.
There were a few comments on that thread saying only God is “I am”, which I thought was silly to suggest she would think otherwise, but I don’t remember any anti-christ comments on that one.
Not nearly so much as this article suggests though.
Having read the link Josh gave (thanks Josh), it appears the only part of the story that isn’t in dispute is that she DID accuse the poor reporter guy of messing up, when he actually got the story correct.
That seems like a rather small error to make; maybe her staff also messed up by not moving her out of earshot, and away from the noise, so she could have the conversation — if they had, the reporter might have been able to explain it wasn’t him, and Palin would have apologized and there’s be no other reporter to confuse talking loudly in a crowd with “screaming”.
But I put that on par with the complaints about Bachmann’s staff not keeping her from getting a picture taken with a corn dog.
People who aren’t message board lawyers can read the thread and judge for themselves; I tire of the company here.
Nice mouth!
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
In person, that’s mild daily speach!!!
I don’t kiss my mother, she’s been dead for 15 years.
That's speech.
BTW, ES = evening star.
It seems other posters got it.
People are scared. It probably makes us all a little more passionate about chosen candidates than normal. That makes it more personal.
Having said that, we seem to have a lot more trolls than normal too. Their purpose is to disrupt and spew the same talking points on every thread they can find having to do with the candidate they dislike. Not all the trolls are anti-Palin, some of them are anti-Bachmann or anti-Perry. What’s disturbing to me is that a trolls only purpose seems to be to spew filth and then whine and play the victim when they get their noses bloodied. You have to wonder why they keep going on those threads. Personally, I have written some uncomplimentary things about some candidates, but I fully expect to get a response when I do and I don’t whine about it. I wish others would do the same.
