Twitter and Daily Kos | Saturday, July 11, 2009 | Kristinn

[kristinn]

The Daily Kos has a post up quoting MSNBC personality David Shuster's Twitter page stating his show will be covering the controversy over Free Republic and comments about Malia Obama:

@mikelord @thejoshuablog. We will cover this monday: http://bit.ly/3pqS7M. But follow @joetrippi for what can be done on-line. about 2 hours ago from web

The embedded link goes to the Vancouver Sun hit piece posted earlier to FR

Over at Twitter, the leftists are all in a hypocritical lather over FR.

David Shuster is on sometime mid-afternoon East Coast time Monday-Friday.

That in no way is any excuse to say stupid things about Obama’s kids.

It's not the kids fault their father is a Marxist pig!  However, the parents should dress their kids more appropriately when representing our country and on our dime.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

MSNBC covered all the hate-Bush commentary on the liberal blogs, right? Bush twins drinking? Right? No?

Speaking of t-shirts and MSNBC...

From MSNBC Hardball with Chris Matthews (transcript)
March. 21, 2006:

KRISTINN, FREEREPUBLIC.COM: We have kids that wear Che Guevara shirts here in the United States.

MATTHEWS: Yes, but they're kind of cute at this point, aren't they? They're not about somebody out to get us now. I think there's a difference. I mean, that's kind of camp almost, isn't it?...is Che Guevara the symbol of hate in the United States anymore?

KRISTINN: Yes.

MATTHEWS: I don't think so. I mean, a lot of our kids wear them. I see kids wearing them all the time, even my kids wear them.[HIS kids wear Che t-shirts??] It's like a Robert Marley T-shirt at this point.

Che flag sends 'disturbing' message about Obama
Candidate attracts 'people who think mass murderers are romantic revolutionaries'

The Fox TV affiliate in Houston has captured images of a volunteer in a campaign office for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama working in front of a flag featuring the image of Che Guevara, the South American revolutionary who became Fidel Castro's executioner after the communist takeover in Cuba.

And while the Obama campaign has issued a statement placing a modest distance between the campaign and its "volunteers," the issue of such an image on display in an office operating on behalf of a man hoping to be commander in chief of the world's last remaining superpower is raising alarms.

Even Obama supporters have been forced into corners because of the issue, with one likening the Texas state Republican Party to Guevara, to whom have been attributed hundreds of executions of anti-Castro leaders.

Under the heading "Barack Guevara," Investor's Business Daily raised some of the more pointed questions, to which the campaign responded only with a statement: "The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign. ..."

Oops, sorry, philman. Son, of course.

[flintsilver7]

That’s exactly the point, and why it would be very helpful to know who posted each of the comments referenced. I’m sure Jim is on this and it may come out if necessary.

[Travis McGee]

Please. This racist crap shows up on nearly every thread concerning the Obamas, particularly Michelle and particularly the "Caption This!" threads. It's ubiquitous these days on FR and has no doubt chased many people away (maybe rightly so).

Name names. Cite the threads and quote the comments "on nearly every thread concerning the Obamas."

You made the charge. Back it up, or slither on back to DU/KOS.

[muawiyah]

VR, all those Leftwingtards already have “copies” ~ the ORIGINAL DRAFTS in fact.

[tobyhill]

I’m not sure if that’s better or worse.

[ThreePuttinDude]

I’ve always associated the “peace symbol” with those who spit on the Vietnam vets

It's not your age, I lived in that era also. The stinking hippies, would spit on, $h1t on
and basically defile the American flag while wearing the peace symbol on head bans, hats
tattoos, even those little bandannas they would tie around their thighs.

0bami knows what he's doing by letting his daughter wear that stuff, at the G8.
He is using them as props, just as all the other politicos do, Kerry with his daughters,
Hill-Billy with Chelsea(sp). It's them same old thing with politicians kids. Props Props Props.

[pepperhead]

But doesn't it seem like Chelsea's sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way? - David Shuster

[castlebrew]

“A few Vietnam vets might beg to differ. “

As well as more than a few current vets...

[Colonel Kangaroo]

There's absolutely nothing age inappropriate about what she's wearing. Nothing. She's dressed pretty much exactly how I dressed at 11; t-shirt and shorts

The Obama daughter was dressed similar to the way the Palin daughter was dressed on her trip to New York. If we demand, as we should, that the left treat the Palin children with the respect that they demand for the Obama daughters, then by the same standard we shouldn't criticize the Obama girl any more than we did the Palin girl. And I never heard any comments around here about "ghetto trash" in referring to the Palins. A lot of people on both sides could use more effort in sticking to the high road and the issues.

[sushiman]

Hmmm...the chinese characters on those pink shirts mean “ entrance “ ....Hmmmmm....

[Freedom2specul8]

Thank you for clarifying..I’m using the phone so it’s slower. (Computer is being used)

[Typical_Whitey]

Don’t you just hate it when the DU trolls come over here and post all that hate speech, racism and bigotry to try and put Freerepublic in a bad light.

I am so glad that our moderators clean up that junk...

so now on to other news not to be distracted by this attempt by the media to find a villian because Obama’s polls are tanking, his Cap and Tax plan is a con, and his failed healthcare plans are going nowhere...

[saquin]

The hairstyle plus the sunglasses plus the shortness of the shorts and the tightness of the t-shirt are all trends for late teenagers and not pre-pubescent daughters of the President of the United States based on my obervations.

Well, you're just wrong. That t-shirt is no tighter than any other t-shirt I see on a typical 11 year old. And the shorts are the style these days. When I was a kid in the late '70s-early '80s, our shorts were so short it was ridiculous (remember the old style shorts basketball players used to wear? yeah.) Then the style changed to shorts down to your knees. It's swung back again. Those shorts are the same length as the ones I wore in 1981 when I was 11. As for sunglasses? I wish I'd worn them more as a kid. The sun is very bad for the eyes and there are cataracts and macular degeneration in my family. Everyone should wear sunglasses. I wear them whenever I go outside now. And the hair? I don't get what you find inappropriate about that.

Again, if she was 4'10", you wouldn't think she looked 16 or 17. She happens to be a very tall girl.

[buccaneer81]

I’m not sure if that’s better or worse.

At least the Secret Service is doing a job.

[muawiyah]

The one time Shuster tells the truth in his whole career and all we do is dump on him about it.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“However, the parents should dress their kids more appropriately when representing our country and on our dime. “

Agree.

[saquin]

Name names. Cite the threads and quote the comments "on nearly every thread concerning the Obamas."

Just pay attention, sweetheart. Or get your head out of the sand.
