OK John McCain Can you put lipstick on a Governor and call her a LIAR? Atlanta Journal Constitution says "And her image is increasingly that of a GUILTLESS LIAR." AND the WSJ finally sees the light

avatar

The Atlanta Journal Constitution says the following, FINALLY!   LO¿OK

As the McCain campaign points out, both Barack Obama and Joe Biden have requested earmarks and voted for earmarks. Neither is anything close to pure on this issue. But neither Democrat is claiming otherwise. They aren’t trying to deny reality. Nor are they trying to construct their entire political identity on that falsehood.

Palin — with the full backing and support of the McCain campaign — is doing herself longterm political damage with this ploy. The American people are watching her repeatedly lie to them, day after day, and watching her do so with no apparent compunction. This is her introduction to the national scene; this is when her image is being cemented into the public mind.

And her image is increasingly that of a guiltless liar.

The Wall Street Journal has the following. LO¿OK
noting that McShame/Palin has begun to lie about EARMARKS.

At a rally today, Sen. McCain again asserted that Sen. Obama has requested nearly a billion in earmarks.
In fact, the Illinois senator requested $311 million last year, according to the Associated Press, and none this year.
In comparison, Gov. Palin has requested $750 million in her two years as governor -- which the AP says is the largest per-capita request in the nation.

FINALLY! At least the PRINT media is waking up, now if the BROADCAST media would pull their heads' out of HER ass and wipe off their nose's maybe they could see the lies that PALIN and McSHAME have been spouting, and how utterly STUPID and AFRAID the MSM appear.


EVERY DAY,
BRIAN WILLIAMS, CHARLIE GIBSON, KATIE COURIC, DAVID GREGORY, WOLF BLITZER, ANDERSON COOPER, LARRY KING, SOLEDAD OBRIEN, LOU DOBBS, ANDREA MITCHELL, CAMPBELL BROWN etc... lose more and more credibility and have actually started to look like THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE or worse THAT THEY DON'T CARE.

McSHAME/PALIN have played the media like a violin and the worst part is the media DOESN'T EVEN SEEM TO REALIZE IT!

GOD HELP US ALL IF THIS IS ANY INDICATION OF THE TYPE OF COVERAGE WE WILL GET THE REST OF THE WAY.

HOW DO YOU FIGHT LIES WHEN THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA HAS BASICALLY BECOME AN
"UN-INDICTED" CO-CONSPIRATOR?

Please rec'd this and send it to a few CONSERVATIVE friends! THANKS!

So the media finally dropped the deceitful obscurantism of "misleading" and picked up the starkly direct and correct "liar"?

It's about time.

Not enough yet.

Newspapers are one thing. We need the nets and cable news to start calling them on their lies.

due to technical problems at tpm, there's been a shortage of capital letters, particularly bolded capital letters. please do your part by using caps sparingly until we are through this difficult period. thank you.

I think I love you.

I am beyond frustrated,not so in the sense of anger. But, could this be happening again- and I don't mean swiftboating. How can the MSM sit on their hands when it is because of THEM that we went to war in IRAQ. They dropped the ball, spit out talking points given to them by the white house. And, look where that has gotten us.

If you look at Cheney, Mr. Who Gives A Sh$t, I am not sure that the McCain camp cares what happens to Palin's image as long as the religious right loves her If you saw Pat Buchanan on Rachel Maddow's new show, he basically laid it out that Palin can do no wrong... she's a sexy religious right rock star and they love her... they believe the lies because the want to.

Palin's hokey pokey image is a deliberate distraction from the real issues. Go after McCain. That's what it's all about.

There's a lot more to do, because of this pervasive attitude:

MATTHEWS: Two days from now -- I want to ask you, what will we talk about two days from now?

SCARBOROUGH: Whatever the McCain campaign wants us to talk about, because the McCain campaign is assertive.


From September 10 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe
MITCHELL: ... It all started with Barack Obama making a comment he did or did not think is innocuous, he's said it before, but immediately, the response -- and I was watching it happen, live, on television, and then within 15 minutes we were called to a conference call by the McCain camp.

WHITAKER: I keep waiting to see what animal we're going to find ... I think it does tell us two things that I think are important to watch. One is how good the McCain campaign is at hand-to-hand combat, at basically driving the news cycle day after day. Obviously, it's true that they don't really want to talk about the state of the economy, they don't want to talk about George Bush's record, so they've got to get other things to talk about, and they're very good at that.


From September 10th’s MSNBC Live

There are two people right there admitting that they're puppets to McCain.

McMaverick def.: one who shoots fast and lose from the lips (lipstick optional)
