CrAzY NY Examiner story alleging Conway admits felonies & Rand Paul stompers are law officers

[avaistheone1]

The top cop of Kentucky, Attorney General Jack Conway, who is now running for the U.S. senate against Rand Paul, was caught red-handed lying to the press after allegedly warning his drug dealing brother of an impending raid by police. First he said that he was not warned by his top police brass of the impending raid against his brother; then he effectively admitted to lying about this.

Not a word of any of this has reached Kentucky voters through the press in Kentucky.

Instead the local and national press is even now providing cover for Conway with saturation publicity concerning a crazed woman who was restrained by police after she rushed Rand Paul during a debate with apparent mal-intent. While the woman, who was smiling the whole time, was restrained and wrestled to the ground by several officers, a police officer put his foot on her shoulder with what is described as a light pressure. For this the local press is calling her a 'victim' of police brutality. For his part in the coverup, Conway is now calling for an investigation of Rand Paul campaign contributions, particularly those made by the very police officers involved in retsraining the attacking woman.

John Collins, a spokesman for Conway’s campaign, said Paul needs to answer questions like: 'When is it ever OK for two men to wrestle a young woman to the ground, even without the stomping? I think the Paul campaign has to answer for the actions of a whole series of its supporters,” Collins said.

2. Pretty much anyone can write for the examiner. I'll withhold judgment for now. n/t

[aquart]

3. Is that the paper they give away?

[avaistheone1]

6. That is the impression that I am getting. Can anyone confirm?

[AlabamaLibrul]

7. I dunno, because we don't have it here locally, but I do know that I did sign up for the online

at one point, to write for them. The pay is crap and they let you write pretty much anything to get page views for ads.

5. That is what I am hoping.

This story sounds so absurd. Pity how many people believe this stuff.
Pretty scary what is going on some people brains.

4. Are they fucking serious???

Normally I don't believe anything the NY Examiner or NY Post says, but after what happened at the rally it has some merit. Besides, KY has more thugs than all of DC, NYC, Chicago, Philly, Atlanta, and LA combined!!!!

Well, after Tuesday let's see if Conway and those other rethugs will even have a job and what will they say then?!?

8. GOPukers make up shit so their idiot followers will have a good lie

to tell over the truth they hear from EVERYONE ELSE. Fucking pukes.

9. This article is so absurd I just noticed

upon rereading, it calls MoveOn volunteer Lauren Valle "the attacking woman".

(just went back into post to underline this choice of verbiage)

:crazy:

Criticism

Examiner.com has been criticized for its lack of verification and fact-checking of stories published on the site,<18> including accusations of plagiarism.<4><19> L.J. Williamson, a writer who was briefly employed by Examiner.com, drew attention to the site's lack of editorial oversight by publishing a series of satirical prank articles,<20> which went unnoticed by Examiner.com's staff until Williamson published what she described as an homage to a well-known satirical piece written by Hunter S. Thompson, in which Thompson claimed that presidential candidate Edmund Muskie showed symptoms of being under the influence of Ibogaine. In Williamson's satirical piece, she claimed that actress Jenny McCarthy advocated Ibogaine as a treatment for autism. Examiner.com staff only noticed and withdrew Williamson's prank stories when lawyers for McCarthy contacted them and demanded that the piece be removed.<21>

13. I live in NY and I never heard of the Examiner.

Unless it's one of those free rags you see piled up in the corner at a coffee shop, underneath a stack of learning annex catalogs and dog walking flyers.

15. Since this is libel can't someone sue and shut this rag down.

I know if it was me I'd have a lawyer there tomorrow morning and shut them down. I bet this will be all over the republican blogs in a heartbeat. Drudge is gonna have it headlined.
