Republican Senator (?)on MSNBC just claimed that Obama could have put a stop...

[toddGA]

to the Palin Baby story on the liberal blogs!!!??!!!

in her defense, she doesn't give the impression that she's ever seen a blog, or used the intertubes...

[washingdem]

1. Transportation secretary. yeah, that was a dumb statement. Obama doesn't control the internets

[Alter Ego]

5. Right--that's Al Gore's job.

;)

He has ridden the mighty moonworm after all.

[Jennicut]

26. LOL....Al did invent the internets after all, didn't he?

[BeyondGeography]

2. It's a coordinated effort to make PreggoGate into BlogGate

Good luck with that.

[rocktivity]

11. Didn't Karl Rove get his start by breaking into his own office?

How do we know that is wasn't the Republicans who started spreading the rumors that the Democrats are spreading the rumors?

:headbang:
rocknation

[blondeatlast]

19. And he got CAUGHT in the cover-up. As a genius, he's a low-operating one. nt

[caledesi]

28. Good One! NT

[GarbagemanLB]

3. If only Obama shut down those tubes.

[thewiseguy]

4. We are not running Obama's campaign on DU

The GOP is scared shitless right now. They will do anything to stop us.

[bdamomma]

9. exactly, but like Obama said we should just can all this.

[renie408]

6. They think that because "Al Gore invented the internets", Dems have control over internet content

[seabeyond]

7. did anyone on msnbc tell her she was ridiculous. or did they agree?

[toddGA]

14. Nope. Just let her talk...

[seabeyond]

16. they are a piece of shit. thanks

[karynnj]

25. No comment was made

Someone needs to ask if McCain is required to get Hannity to stop speaking of Ayers and stop giving full hours to the already discredited Corsi. The media did not call on Bush to get his own contention delegates to throw away the purple heart bandaids.

Both Hannity and the delegates are more likely to do as a nominee asks than everyone out in the blogosphere.

[City Lights]

8. Yeah, that's it. Every truth exposed about a GOPer is Obama's fault.

:eyes:

What a pant load.

[flakey_foont]

10. but did not Obama say

knock it off on the family stuff, including baby?

[soleft]

12. Well then McCain should have come and cleaned out my in box

[chelsea0011]

13. Palin's kid is pregnant so it's the liberal blogs' fault. Now that's executive experience.

[yardwork]

15. I thought McCain was in charge of the internets.

Who's our daddy???

[VolcanoJen]

17. You know you're in trouble when...

... the only Republican you can get to defend you is the f'n TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY.

They have got to be kidding me with this shit!!! :rofl:

[flpoljunkie]

18. Which story was that? The McCain camp released the statement saying daughter was pregnant.

[karynnj]

20. So, Obama is suppose to be able to control the left blogs, when Bush couldn't control

the delegates to the 2004 convention. Those purple heart bandaids and whet they implied was worse than anything said on the liberal blogs about Palin. Also, maybe McCain has to get his right blogospere and their leaders Hannity and Limbaugh to stop lying about Obama. The Ayers thing alone is worse than anything said on the left.

1) Bristol is pregnant - which is true and I saw nothing condemning her for it - just the obvious conclusion that abstinence education didn't work.
2) Conspiracy stuff that questioned who the mother of SP's baby was - still not as bad as the anti-Kerry stuff.

[progressivebydesign]

21. Dumbasses. If they'd actually vetted her, they'd know it came from ALASKA..

we didn't start that shit, it came from the people of Alaska who were happy to share their dirt on the family, and the rumors that have been swirling around there for months before this happened. How many posts and comments have we read from people in her town that said "oh, that? we've been saying that all along" The liberal bloggers didn't just dream up this shit... Caribou Barbie came complete with her own scandals. It's the republicans fault for taking her off the shelf and putting her in the cart.

[bushisanidiot]

22. "intertubes". BWAHAHAHAHA!

I think the repukes think Obama truly is "the Messiah". They seem to think he has that much control over us than humanly possible... like, he's using mind control or something.

They are INSANE!!!

The press was going to report about baby-gate, regardless. Freepers pushed Edward's affair story HARD!! They were screaming with their hair on fire over it. Bristol's pregnancy and Sarah Palin's pregnancy have been talked about in Alaska for months now. There's no way the press was going to ignore that obvious baby bump.. well, Fox would have ignored it, but any other news station with any credibility at all would have asked some questions. DU was far from breaking this story or pushing it. We mearly talked about what seemed to be obvious to anyone with two working eyeballs.

[Hansel]

23. Just shows how powerful Obama's statement to "back off" was.

It makes Obama look above the fray and presidential and the GOP is doing whatever they can to dent that image.

If we had a real media they would point out that even if he could stop his own supporters from talking about it, it would be very easy for McCain to plant posters in liberal blogs and then claim that Obama isn't trying to stop them.

The media needs to do a disclaimer every time they do a blog story to say "to be fair, most posters are anonymous and they could be supporters of rival campaigns trying to start something."

[redqueen]

24. Then McCain could have put a stop to the Muslim bullshit.

Unbelievable the stupid crap they're allowed to say with no one calling them on it.

[NotThisTime]

27. I put a stop to it, now I'm onto AIP, Stephens 527, bridge to nowhere & earmarks

It's just simply delicious....

Babygate doesn't even qualify anymore...

[Virginia Dare]

29. My violin is getting a work out today..

:nopity:

[Proud Liberal Dem]

30. I guess "Lord Obama" should've put his "celebrity" status to good use

and singlehandedly ordered the internets shut down so that nobody could talk about or possibly question and/or malign Palin (because we know how censored the GOPMSM already is)?

:shrug:

Maybe Al Gore could've helped him with it too since, after all, he "invented" the internets, right?

Oh, wait a minute, according to McSame/GOP, Obama is just a nobody with a "speech". How could HE have single-handedly prevented millions of people with internet access from talking about, well......anything?

:sarcasm:
