MTV piles on the Palin family
michellemalkin.com ^ | September 7, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

Reader M.G. writes that the MTV Awards show was the latest venue for vicious Palin family-bashing:

“I know a few people at Viacom and I tuned in to see the MTV music awards tonight. I was disgusted and appalled when the British host Russell Brand started begging America to vote for Barack Obama. Like his opinion matters. He’s not even a citizen. What’s worse is that he attacked Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter. He made a snide joke that her baby was not a boy or a girl, but a P.R. stunt.”

MTV, of course, is a division of left-wing media giant Viacom. Viacom’s PAC is among Barack Obama’s biggest supporters. Last year, Viacom PAC forked over $80,200 in contributions to Obama — ranked 19th highest among his PAC donors.

By August 2008, National Amusements, media kingpin Summer Redstone’s political cash machine, had contributed $352,603 to the Obama camp.

The trouble with this is, most of them didn’t realize it. They were too stoned and didn’t have a clue what was going on. About all they knew was that they were in a bright, shiny place with lots of pretty lights.

the typical mtv watcher can’t spell “cat” if you spot them the c and the t. Anyone who watches mtv isn’t going to vote for a R anyway. I just hope that this garbage from mtv becomes part of campaign commercials.

I live right across the freeking street from Paramount Studios. There are semi retarded, skanky chicks and metrosexual “dudes” all over my lawn drinking cheap wine and malt liquor. The worst part is the camera chopper that has been directly over my house since 12PM. I am about ready to start really getting upset GRRRRRRRRR.

One thing I have to thank that host for is that my 17 year old well informed and extremely smart daughter actually wanted to watch the show, when he started in about Obama, she changed the channel and said “well so much for that, and I really wanted to see the Jonas Brothers and Paramore”. So thanks to the host, I don’t have to listen to show.

Hey they ran a disclaimer telling you not to watch if you are easily offended. Turn the channel.

Kerry's daughters were booed at the ‘04 VMAs in Miami.

There is a word for people who depend on the youth vote...LOSER.

I’m beginning to think we need the press to keep playing clips of things like this, because, according to the polls, the public does not approve of gang-rape.

People are starting to these scum for what they truly are.

I read somewhere that Russell Brand showed up on TV on September 12, 2001 dressed as Osama Bin Laden.

Barrel full of laughs, this guy.

No. As a former serf in Massachusetts, all I will say is, "Say Nothing."

....British host Russell Brand started begging America to vote for Barack Obama.

He doesn't know his manners. I hope nobody tells on him.
