3. I really believe
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 06:51 PM by AsahinaKimi
That trying to reason with Sarah Palin is a waste of breath. The woman doesn't get it, will never get it, and will likely run to people like Glenn Beck again for comfort. Stupid is as Stupid does.

6. Nice message, but the moment has passed
we all knew she was going to crash the party and we all knew she was going to do it in her usual vomit-on-your-shoe way.

She had the chance to seize the moment, to step into the moment, own her part, ask forgiveness for it and turn the focus back onto the true victims and families. She chose to pass on that and instead, step into the spotlight, be selfish and make it all about her and her political aims.

She's politicized a tragedy and is dancing on the grave of a 9 yr old girl.

not that that's a major media hub, but still....


I fell in love with David Brock when I read "Blinded by the Right" He's brilliant. Long live MMFA.

11. You can't hate your government and say you love your country.
He says to Palin: "Promoting anti-government extremism is your business. Without it you are nothing and you know it."

16. What's with that smacking sound she makes when she talks?
They trained her to not do it so often, but she sometimes sounds like Hoke from Driving Miss Daisy. Her breathing is still bizarre for a public speaker, too.

Much better than all the panting she did when she gave the "I'm A Quitter!" speech in her backyard. She's improving, just as the content of her speeches is about to start her downward spiral.

18. I wonder if she responds
I know Limpbutt will have plenty to say.

I think Palin is too cowardly and fears she may get shot herself.

Nobody controls the Zombies!

Well done Mr Brock!

21. "consequences be damned"
and still are. As proxy leaders of the tea party Palin and Bachman both hold responsibility in their contribution to the fear faction they have projected onto their constituents and the country. Thank you Mr. Brock..she will never agree to your challenge. She has no moxie however she still needs to be called out as well as Beck and Limbaugh.
Thanks for posting.

26. Brock is absolutely correct....
The media all over let palin and the others off easy,acting as if she didn't mean to get anyone killed. The boss (rush limp balls)is the KING PIN off all the BS coming from fox noise and its crew of assholes male and female. Sarah Palin knew exactly what she was doing and in her sick mind her freedoms or all that matters no matter what she does. If the media really gave a damn about human beings they would go after her and her cohorts with both barrels until they shut up or get arrested.

30. OMG! K&R
That was spot on! If Sarah watched this she would really have something to cry about. This is a perfect example of how to call out the right wing liars by using honesty as a weapon instead of the threat of violence.

35. Excellent! Who benefits from restrictions on freedom of speech? The wealthy by limiting information.
Edited on Thu Jan-13-11 01:27 PM by valerief
How does one chip away at freedom of speech? By inciting violence against the govt, thus prompting new laws limiting freedom of speech.

Palin is an agent of the feudalists.

43. I've been very impressed with Media Matters
I know that they are a Soros funded organization built as a counter pole to FOX "News" but really, they have been very solid and I believe have exceeded my expectations significantly.

Thank you Media Matters for standing up for me!

I have no doubt that Media Matters' credibility will take an enormous hit after this as Brock has just ripped away any future pretense at objectivity, but every word he said was the truth and needed to be said.

Happy to rec.
