Scarecrow, are you one of those people who would have told me back in the "Reagan Economic Miracle" that "I dunno what your problem is, man, I'm doin' just great. you must be lazy or stupid"?

Trickle down, remember THAT piece of shit economic theory?

The GOP fucks all of us who make less than $100,000 a year. We're the Serf Class.

1-Too late. I formed my opinion after listening to 7 days of allegations, so no new cheap shots will be entertained for the remainder of the year. 2-The waitress did not want to give her last name. 3- The restaurant is not identified. 4- Independent direct verification, then, is not possible [nor, apparently, desired.] So this easily flunks the 'smell' test so far. 5- The website/source is not recognizable, so has no credibility to offer or to lose by being wrong.

Ironically, the smear campaign appears to be working in Palin's favor.

The MSM will only report what they themselves discover and as long as it does not hurt their corporate interests. When five companies/conglomerates control 90% of what you see and hear on MSM, that can never be good. They have not been proven over the last 8-years to be beacons of objectivity.

Seats at the front of the Straight Talk Express bus and plane are sold based on how favourably one treats the candidates. They have no plans to even let her speak to serious media unless "it suits the campaign" (direct quote from Rick Davis, McCain campaign manager).

WTF?

Embedded is in-bedded and if you need proof, look at the reaction to Campbell Brown of CNN asking tough questions and the campaign petulantly cancelling a long-scheduled interview on Larry King Live. She was clearly spoken to as the next night she gushed over his speech after her two minutes in the penalty box.

The "Sambo" story has been picked up from now on 350 sites in the US and another 150 around the globe. Editor and Publisher will re-produce it today week and you can ask Robin here how prestigious that site is for the MSM. It broke on Saturday afternoon, here we are 40 hours later and it will be on the MSM by tonight.

LA Progressive stopped comments because they could not moderate them fast enough and the count last night when I went to bed was more than 300,000 hits and 300 sites linked back.

Truthseeker, judging by the overnights here many have already made up their minds and seem to be spinning the same wheels back and forth, sometimes rather unpleasantly towards each other to be what (clever, witty, contrary, jerky)?

Yes there are many who died in service in many wars and isn't it time someone asked why they were sent to those wars from WWII on through to the current conflict vs. bleating along with the rest of the brainwashed herd?

Our leaders lie and soldiers unnecessarily die. Can we afford to go from a radical born again dry-drunk leader to a hot tempered old gambler? Many think no. Subvert the dominant paradigm and ask yourselves who benefits by any course of action instead of wrapping yourself in a rose coloured, flag painted glasses view of America and you will see that bold change will not come from someone who has been running things for the last 30 years.

8 weeks of negative ads vs candidates discussing real policy and we will get the government we deserve for our lack of attention. This time the Dems did not bring a knife to a gun fight and will not just allow swiftboating and vile, vicious rumours about Obama to stand.

Like the Japanese in Pearl Harbour, you have awakened a sleeping giant, it's now vexed and that is what the right cannot stand. It's Game On and I know I could not live with myself if I just sat on the sidelines again and watched a national mugging like in 2000 and 2004.

Best

So tell us d2, these 350 web sites, will the MSM be any more honest about this than they were with the husband' dui, reporting he had it but not that it was 22 years old and before they were married?

Or is this just going to be another unsupported smear they justify trotting out because "everybody's talking about it" and fail to mention it's unsupported like the MSM coverage of "down's baby Palin's daughter's?"

Cause if that's the case, it's more proof the MSM is in the tank for obama.

Where was their coverage of this guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVeFVtcdSYY&feature=related

In the tank for Obama? That's a joke right?

The guy's been called everything in the book and been vetted for 19-months and hockey Mom gets a free ride because she has spunk and great one-liners?

I mean the campaign won't let her be interviewed except by softball throwing Charlie Gibson whilst Obama puts up with Bill O's grilling over four nights, Biden is grilled on Meet the Press 'Live' by Tom Brokaw and the campaign will let Charlie interview her over three days so they can stop it if it gets out of hand?

If that's in the tank for Obama, I'm living in a parallel universe.

Rick Davis' direct quote Sunday on Fox News: Palin isn’t giving interviews to the news media and won’t until “the campaign is ready.” Palin will answer questions from reporters “when we think it’s time and when she feels comfortable doing it.”

That is in the tank for McCain my friend.

Where is the outrage? Why are the MSM not screaming questions about her conflicts of interst in Alaska at every stop?

Because they will lose their plush leather seats in the front of the Straight Talk Express plane if they do. Just ask CNN's Campbell Brown how much McCain and Co. like tough questions, they cancelled a McCain appearance on Larry King Live as punishment because she asked repeatedly the same unanswered question of a staffer who though he could obfuscate his way past her.

Really mate, MSM in the tank for Obama, that's a laugh.

RE: the waitress did not to give her name

I'll buy that, at least as an isolated, this item-only analysis. But there is a growing pattern that's starting to sound familiar, and increasingly credible (at least to me). For instance the following:

http://www.andrys.com/palin-kilkenny.html

The National Enquirer's "Palin affair" story is interesting too. They have a reputation for publishing nonsense about space aliens. But they did push the John Edwards affair story for a very long time, and they did turn out to be right on that one. Ironically, republicans complained when the 'left biased' media wouldn't follow up on the Enquirer's Edwards story. Now the tables are reversed. If the Enquirer is wrong about the 'Palin affair' story, they will suffer badly. The RNC won't let that mistake go unpunished. But if they are right? It would be a hell of a story--a story James Dobson would have to choke on for sure.

Uh, huh. Just what I thought. Left-wing mantra. No proof, no substance just hate and anger and you don't even know why.

I only made between 11k and 15k in the '80s. I had a wife and 2 kids and we did just fine. To me it doesn't matter who is in the white house, I take care of myself. I don't need the government in my life. I need them out of my life.
