MSNBC is doing a story on "A conservative blog" attacking the President's daughter.

[drm604]

They announced they'll be doing it after the current ad. :bounce:

On Edit: For those who don't know, this is (probably) about remarks made recently on Free Republic.

[KharmaTrain]

1. I Like The Framing...

:popcorn:

Damn...I ran out of butter...

[Mrs. Overall]

2. They haven't done it yet--another ad is on.

And another ad, but they still say it's coming up.

[fascisthunter]

3. yes... a huge spot-light on the dumbasses

that help bring down our American Democracy. The World then may understand what we contend with here.

[AngryOldDem]

7. FR rep already on the defensive and looking very foolish.

Comments "weren't that vile."

Just how vile do they need to be, given they were directed at an 11-year-old?

Shuster's really going after this asshat.

[fascisthunter]

10. they have a "rep"???? You gotta be kidding me???

well, I knew they had connections with the GOP but wow... more exposure the better.

[AngryOldDem]

15. Sone dude named Kristinn....

Don't ask me. Thankfully I'm clueless about the inner workings of FR, and I want to stay that way, thanks very much.

[fascisthunter]

18. lol... I understand

[Mrs. Overall]

4. Free Speech Firestorm, they're calling it.

Showing the pic.

"Horrifying, vile, deeming, sickening!"--Schuster

Spokesperson. (The fucker is lying) He says the comments were pulled and not restored. Bullshit, they were restored. Will NOT apologize as a site. Talking about DU not having standards because of Sarah Palin.

What will FR do to dissuade this behavior?--Schuster

Spokesperson: Says the system at FR fell short because they are human. The moderators were too busy.

Schuster didn't push him enough.

[mitchum]

16. But Palin IS a bigot, belligerently ignorant, grifter, and QUITTER

there is demonstrable evidence for all of that

[damntexdem]

29. Well, there's the biggest lie of all: that the moderators at FR are human.

Evil trolls, one and all. ;-)

[OneGrassRoot]

5. Yep, he went to Palin in 30 seconds....

and said about liberals "the other side has no standards."

oy

[nc4bo]

14. And was allowed to continue on his spiel. nt

[drm604]

6. On now.

Some goofy apologist for Free Republic is now on trying to explain it away.

"We have standards. Those liberal websites have no standards." :rofl:

[Beaverhausen]

8. Feed the cube rats PLEASE

[nc4bo]

9. That was totally unsatisfying. nt

[FVZA_Colonel]

11. Did he say the comments weren't put back up?

Because I'm pretty sure they were.

And I love how the jackass runs to try and make this all about the Democrats/Daily Kos/Big Media.

[TokenQueer]

12. LAME!

C'mon Shuster! You're better than that impotent Q&A. Freeper ran him over...
:mad:

[FVZA_Colonel]

13. That was way too damn short.

And the guy didn't even try to apologize for the actual comments.

[fascisthunter]

17. so, it was short... but, it gets attention from curious readers

and when they decide to investigate themselves, they will see the heart of the Republican Party and how stupid and warped these people are.

[DangerousRhythm]

27. Yep, exactly. Curious people can judge for themselves, and...

I bet anyone who checks out their website wouldn't even be swayed if they weren't of that persuasion. No harm in that appearance then because it shone a light on their vile racism. The guy came off as pretty damned creepy which didn't really help his cause. I mean seriously, who justifies calling an 11 year old girl disgusting things with "But those damnlib'rals do it too!!" That's like schoolkid logic... GUILTY schoolkid logic, I should add. :shrug:

[HughBeaumont]

19. Why do all conservatives talk at the same time as the host does?

I mean, it isn't just SOME of them that talk over the host, it's freakin' ALL of them. Is this just an inherent trait with them . . . kind of like the verbal equivalent to "LA LA LA LA LAAAAA, I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOU!"??

Assholes. All of them.

[wndycty]

21. Its called lack of manners and no formal training. . .

. . .LOL

[nc4bo]

22. And why are conservatives allowed to overtalk the host? nt

[drm604]

25. I actually think conservative spokespersons are trained that way.

I think they're trained to dominate the "conversation" and not let anyone else get a word in edgewise. When their opponent does try to speak, they accuse that opponent of not allowing them to speak. I see it all of the time. It's too pervasive a behavior to not be deliberate.

[mitchum]

26. You are correct; it is a technique that is taught in their media seminars

[drm604]

28. Here's a rhetorical question.

If they truly believe that facts, logic, reason, morality, and ethics are on their side then why do they feel the need to use these kinds of underhanded debating tactics?

Surely, if they're in the right then all that should be necessary is to speak the truth and allow their opponent to also speak and bury himself in his lies.

Apparently they don't have much faith in their arguments.

[liberalmuse]

20. Why are they attacking Malia?

Oh my god, they are capable of sinking so much lower than even I give them credit for. Fuckers. You almost have to pity the flabby, white, dickless, pathetic, cowardly fucks who are drawn to FR. To say they are the dreggs of humanity would be a compliment to those of their ilk. If there is a hell, I hope they are all packed together there like sardines.

[wndycty]

23. They called her Ghetto trash. . .literally

[DinahMoeHum]

30. Which says more about them than about her. . .
