OH REALLY? : Lowden DENIES ' Chicken-For-Checkups Comment

[Segami]

This republican TWIT needs to be exposed as a ' flip-flippin ' LIAR! :mad:

<http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/>



" Exactly 42 days after Sue Lowden first committed the original chickens-for-checkups gaffe, she's still struggling to put it behind her -- and now she's explicitly denying originally making chicken-related assertions she plainly did make.


Lowden got into a testy exchange over chickens-for-checkups with Nevada journalist Jon Ralston at yesterday's GOP Senate primary debate, and Harry Reid's campaign has now posted the video: Lowden rebukes her host, insisting that he go out and see for themselves that people are bartering for health care. But the best part comes towards the end.



Video: Sue Lowden flatly denies BarterGate comments

1. LOL... you reminded me of this.

Chickens for Checkups

:)

[Segami]

2. LOL! Priceless!

[gratuitous]

3. Politics 101: When your opponent is drowning

Toss her an anchor. Keep bringing this story up, let Lowden keep flailing. She doesn't even have to be hammered on this, she's got her sights set on her foot and keeps pulling the trigger.

9. She OWNS the Chicken Story NOW. I would quickly create an ad showing a state trooper stopping a man

who has a pick-up stacked with cages of live chickens ten rows high making a lot of chicken sounds. The trooper asks the man " where are you going with such a rush? " , The man replies, " I'm heading into town to have surgery on my leg." The trooper turns around and stares into the filming camera bewildered.

Sue is nothing more than another piece of the republican plan.

13. 'What else will she lie about?'

My ad would be vid of her chicken comment followed by the denial.With a voice over asking "What else will she lie about?"

4. I wonder how the "rural" people she kept referencing like being talked down

to as if they're a bunch of idiots and rubes? Barter chickens!! Does she think they don't have T.V., phones or indoor plumbing as well?

Some of these people are so incredibly arrogant and our of touch it boggles my mind.

[sarge43]

11. This one doesn't.

At least I'm smart enough to know if I flap my mouth and it winds up on You Tube, it's rather pointless to deny it later. Busted, cousin.

Yeah, we even have computers and cell phones.

The next time I make my run to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Med Cen, I'll run that chicken thing by my orthopedist. "There aren't that many chickens in the world."

[Segami]

12. I thought I might pass this chicken-barter idea by my mechanic for an oil change..lol.

Everyone needs to stay on top of her ' flip-floppin ' story reversal until she recants her ' didn't say it ' claims. How can the electorate trust a flip-floppin lying republican like her to best serve their interests? Thats the message I would brand onto everyone's mind. Reid needs to make her OWN this chicken story like its tattooed on her face. Lets get a hundred volunteers dressed up in full chicken costumes handing out Sue Lowden ' chicken-for-checkups ' health care flyers.

[sarge43]

15. If I were Reid, I'd have one of the staffer do a net search.

National average cost of med treatment for, say, breast cancer from the mamo 'oh oh' to the life time of follow up checks

Then, national average cost of a live chicken. Simple math: How many chickens to cover

At every Lowden rally have someone in chicken suit pass out flyers with this info.

[Segami]

16. Lets hope Reid's staff are reading some of these posts for much needed inspiration.

5. I think the Lou Grant insight works here

Concerning another maniacal dingbat, Ted Baxter, "I don't mind it when he puts his foot in his mouth; he does that all the time. It's when he puts both feet in at the same time."

[Greybnk48]

7. Good One! (What a great character Ted Baxter was). n/t

[Arkana]

6. REAAAAAAAAAALLLLLY now.

Perhaps she's forgotten the existence of YouTube.

[Canuckistanian]

10. They do seem to have a misunderstanding about recording devices

They must still think that reporters rush to their offices after interviews and type their columns.

[quiet.american]

8. Great work on Ralston's part! On so many levels, what an unabashed liar Lowden is. nt

[LaydeeBug]

14. So which senator will she be? Chicken Sue? Or Chicken LITTLE Sue? nt

[CCinLV]

17. more laughs thanks to Chicken Sue

oh you better believe theres a new video about Lowden's latest clucking mad performance:

18. Wingers don't have any respect for truth, or any shame about lying.

They only care about power & winning.

That's why it's hard for people with scruples to fight them.

People with scruples assume others have them too. People with scruples have difficulty lying flat-out. People with scruples can't conceive of the tactics the unscrupulous come to bat with, because their minds don't work that way.

[Segami]

19. People without scruples always demand from those WITH scruples to apply ' fair play '.

In their minds, the concept of ' fair play ' is NOT applicable to their ways. Like pro boxing, there are rules regarding NO hitting below the belt but repukes not only continue to hit below the belt, they also delve in rabbit punching, bitting and kicks to the groin.

Its about time Progressives charged back and steamrolled over these republiCON loud-mouth, pip-squeaks. Its amazing how much we accomplished when we began turning the tables and scolded them with a steady diet of ' NO's '. Repukes are nothing but small dog bullies who run away and hide at the first hint of real in-your-face pushback.

[Hannah Bell]

21. complete agreement.

[tanyev]

20. Chicken-hearted Sue is chickening out now that her chickens have come home to roost.

[laughingliberal]

22. She is so going down!

Everyone in NV has been saturated with ads showing the video of her saying it.

[Segami]

23. The Reid people ( indirectly ) need to launch a ' Chicken-For-Checkups ' T-shirt Design Contest

offering a winning T-shirt five thousand dollar first prize. Local radio could also be involved. The ' Chicken flip-flop ' needs to remain in the public's daily news diet until election day.

24. She's a repuke, lying is congenital to them
