wow if I owned the media I would plaster this all over, a former vice presidential candidate whowant to be president holding a sight saying f off Michael More and smiling and proud of it. And putting bullseyes in the same picture.
Now That is what the right wing party stands for as clearly as can be. The right wing will love this. This hate is very dear to their leaders at every level and cherrished.
http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/233992/sarah-palin-poses-with-fuc-you-michael-moore-poster-complete-with-crosshairs/
| Quote: | Palin isn’t holding the sign but appears to have signed it and poses happily with the two men while grinning and making a spiffy “surf’s up!” hand gesture. The two unidentified men, who are apparently far less comfortable with F-bombs than with bullets, appear to be alluding to recent comments from filmmaker Michael Moore calling snipers cowards. After Moore’s comments were linked by the media to the recent film “American Sniper, ” which tells the story of former Navy Seal sniper Chris Kyle, Palin took to Facebook to opine that “Hollywood leftists” were “not fit to shine Chris Kyle’s combat boots.”
For many observers, the dark symbolism of the poster’s crosshairs will bring to mind shades of a previous controversy, in which Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was targeted in Palin’s “crosshair map” as a healthcare opponent. Giffords was of course shot in the head and gravely injured in the 2011 Tuscon shooting in which Jared Loughtner took the lives of six people and injured 14 others. Giffords had previously spoken out against Palin’s use of the symbols.
At the time, Palin’s people claimed, ludicrously, that the depictions were “surveyor’s symbols” despite the ex-governor having herself called them “bulls-eyes.” |

top right winger again youwould think the top of the right wing operatives would not lie to americans... well he got caught, as many may or may not know the right wing sent more elected officials to washington than dems. But again the right wing in total of the votes had less votes in america. The right wing goes on to lie that there is a mandate when they had less votes.
but finally someone took the right wing lies to task on a small cable show. The only place to find liberals in the media...
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/01/24/1359960/-Melissa-Harris-Perry-stops-GOP-operative-Robert-Traynham-s-lie-in-its-track?detail=email
| Quote: | Melissa Harris-Perry did something that many Liberal talking heads on TV rarely do. She called out a lie immediately.
"Melissa back in November eight in ten voters said that the economic situation that they currently find themselves in or that they feel they are in is the number one issue as to why they're voting for whatever members of congress that they voted for," said Robert Traynham. "We now know that the vast majority obviously voted for Republicans. This moment that we are in reminds of ...."
Melissa Harris-Perry immediately interrupted Robert Traynham. She did not wait for the lie to metastasize.
"No! No! No! Back up That's not quite right," Melissa Harris-Perry said. "So there are more Republicans who won not because there was a vast majority more Americans who voted for them but rather because of the way that districts are measured."
The reason the Right Wing is so effective is because they know a distinct tenet of our psychology. If one continuously hears the same message over and over again without any push back, the message tends to become truth in ones psyche irrespective of the message being truthful or deceitful.
Melissa Harry-Perry was correct for immediately stopping Robert Traynham from lying to her audience. Too often many Liberal hosts allow misrepresentations, lies, or deceitful messages to go unchallenged. |

Wow indeed. I don't hold much truck with Michael Moore, he is a polemicist, not a journalist, he does work that is very unfair.
But with that said, is Sarah Palin the dumbest candidate ever for national office--or does that award go to John McCain for picking her without vetting her sufficiently? |

where is the media talking about money and control of government and such... the trust fund kids the Koch brothers groups to put in a billion dollars in the next election. when sorros spends a million it is all over the right wing owned media. these right wing trust fund kids are aiming at a billion.

| It must be remembered that Sarah Palin does have her audience and dedicated admirers out there. While it might be difficult for some of us to understand, she does epitomize the style and mindset that some folks want in a leader. One wonders how long it will last before she gets too embarrassing for even the most rabid tea party folks to tolerate. Ultimately, when Fox News starts to ignore her escapades and ramblings, you know her stage is beginning to fade and disappear. |

| Pretty funny to listen to Sarah use a word like "Orwellian." She is right about her base. For them this is war, no use listening to the other side--or thinking. Fear and hatred only. |

unfair?
unfair is owning the media, and claiming it is liberal at every level of the RNC and right wing wacos to keep your base energized to hate.
No one claims MM is not a liberal.
unfair is buying newspapers like Right wing wacko Lord Black of canada did firing all the liberals on the paper then selling the paper and repeating the cycle.
unfair is not disclosing who is spending money on hate in the media so that the they can keep control of the government without telling who they are. Citizens United. IE buy government.
Unfair is claiming the media is liberal when talk radio is 90% plus right wing wacos with no balance
unfair is right wing waco ruppert Murdoch owning the largest circulation paper which has always been right wing in the US and claiming you are somehow the deprived.
unfair is owning the largest Cable political network and somehow claiming you are the media victims.
unfair is owning the major TV networks and not allowing one left wing politically partisan person on there to balance out the corporate right wing propaganda spewed there. and allowing the right wing mantra of they are the deprived class. again no liberal with a brain would allow such liar hate to be peat and repeated that the media is not right wing owned and controlled without giving the other position. any liberal that would would be removed.
OK, so MM makes a few opinion pieces that are more accurate and give a higher level rate of truth to the subject than Fox does on any given year. And MM is the unfair guy? I remember fox found one fact that was not correct in his movie, that was a debatable fact. And that was the best they could do with their billions of dollars of hate researchers at their disposal.
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/tv/fox/
CBS again Dan Rather was basically removed for telling the truth about George Bush, What liberal would fire him for telling the truth. again the right wing former attorney general under Bushs father in his so called independent right with hunt concluded he could not prove the information presented was not accurate. Not to mention the above link shows so many LIEs buy Fox people who remain in their jobs for real lies.
Bill Maher was removed by ABC for hos opinion that the 9-11 terrorists had guts vs a person who basically pushes a button to kill like a person who remotely pushes a button on a plane. ABC fired him on a popular show. What liberal would ever have fired him for a comment that is his opinion that was not proven not true.
NBC fired the only liberal on their cable network at the time of 9-11 that was not even a partisan liberal show. And it was at the time one of their highest rated shows if not the highest rated show. That was Phil Donahue, he was the only liberal on their MSNBC at the time. what liberal would fire him when he was the highest rated show and only liberal on and was not a partisan liberal show.
with the facts out look at how delusional its head is...

| Quote: | | Ailes feels vindicated by Kelly’s high ratings. “They used to laugh at us in the mainstream media,” he said, “but we’re becoming the place most people go to get the truth.” |
