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.
"Leave the kids out of it" my a$$.
If the Obama's don't wish to draw undue attention on their children and use them to make a point when they're overseas representing America, they ought to dress them like little ladies befitting of the president's office instead of parading them around like little hoodie leftist hipsters.
I don't remember the Palin kids being left "out of it." They're still busy dragging them around through the dirt, even the baby with Downes Syndrome.
Read JimRob's tag line ;-)
Mainstream media waking up to conservative websites. Let’s light the fires & kick tires & tell’em “bring it on”.
MSNBC? Aren’t those the clowns with the little “news” network?
I whole-heartedly agree with you. Why, in the name of reason and common sense and decency, would anyone make such trashy, low-down comments about a child? And I don’t care whose child it is— Obama’s or Bush’s or Palin’s or yours or mine. It’s wrong.
No comparison here to the sewage you can read everyday on KOS or DU.
There are far better sources.
Joe Biden's looking it up.
I’d be curious to hear what that Jim Thompson guy has to say about all this.
Woo hoo!!
Woo hoo is right, money coming your way!
The peace symbol is ubiquitous on tween clothing these days. There’s nothing “politically charged” about it. The peace symbol, to kids these days, means nothing more than “peace is good” (it is, isn’t it?) and they think they look cool because it looks like the ‘60s (which they barely know about). It’s an innocent style fad, like tie dye (which has also come back in style). People need to stop trying to make it something it’s not. (And, yes, I know the symbol originally was anti-nuclear but that was a UK-based group that is barely known in the US and if you asked most Americans about the peace symbol they would make no such political association).
That being said, I didn't notice PMS-NBC doing a story on the hateful things that were said about Sarah Palin's children. They even bashed that precious little Trig.
Of course, the media is in bed with the White House, so they only report what the "annointed one" allows them to do. As far as Obama is concerned, he's a total pos. I don't like him, and I haven't seen anything that makes me change my mind. He's a liar, and a socialist/communist and he has about as much business running America as Donald Duck does.
The problem was comments made about her, not what she was wearing, and additional racist comments about her mother.
That and apparently nobody noticed and reported it to the moderators until someone outside found it and publicized it.
later
You have got to be kidding me. Criticizing others for the same things they do? Where is their support for freedom of speech? I'm so sick and tired of those that think that their shtick don't stink.
Or maybe someone competant.
(Duh, is that better?)
I will give them credit for breaking the Steve McNair story last Saturday.
We have the New York Times attempting to slime John McCain with completely unsubstantiated allegations that he had an affair with a lobbyist on its front page as soon as he got the nomination, after they endorsed him. They have complete editorial control over what goes into their paper.
And that’s just fine, right?
We have Andrew Sullivan writing at the Atlantic, ostensibly a prestegious publication, that Trig is not Sarah Palin’s daughter...still, to this day, and they have editorial control.
There is lots more, of course.
This is a message board, fgs. People can say what they want, even people who come here specifically to create controversy. Remember MD4Bush?
