As Kristol wrote, "Kornblut’s interpretation of what Palin said is either stupid or malicious

I'd bet Kornblut is both stupid and malicious.

Well, there’s that...and there’s the unfavorable editing by ABC “news” and Charlie Gibson. I cannot stand the MSM.

She’s not stupid, but malice is only one motive. The other is political partisanship.

“I cannot stand the MSM.”

Agreed. And how many hatchet job pieces on Biden have we seen since Obama picked him to be VP candidate?

The other possibility is it’s a troll hoping they say “No, we’re totally aligned with Bush position”

Aha! Bush 3. We told you!

If Governor Palin had asked a wheelchair-bound person to “stand up” it would have led the nightly newscasts.

Kornblut is the quintessential Washington DC elitist who has carried Obama’s water and that of other democrats before.

Interesting that like so many of the other drive-by media detractors of Palin, Kornblut is a female. The Obama Messiah’s campaign has fully mobilized a squadron of winged monkeys.

Anyone out there able to photoshop a broomstick riding witch over DC spewing “SURRENDER SARAH” ?

The winged monkeys in that pic need to have labels “ABC” “CBS” “MSNBC” “NBC” “NYT” “LAT” etc...

Yeah, I can see Obama as the Wizard of Oz (the man behind the scene manipulating the smoke and mirrors) - and Biden as the Scarecrow (”If they knew what I was thinkin’, I could be another Lincoln- if I only had a brain!”)

When I saw the headline “Palin Links Iraq to Sept. 11”, I thought, “Wow. That makes two of us.”

When the NY Tower was bombed in 1993, where did the bad dude go for safe haven?

What do you want, you stupid reporters


SURRENDER SARAH


"I told them Sarah was out getting a DNA test."


"But, but Messiah told us we must burn her at the stake - her, her family, her friends, everyone."


"Go away you stupid Obamanaughts, or I shall be forced to taunt you a second time. Your mother was a vacuum cleaner, and your father voted for McGovern."


"Fire One!!!"


"Run away!!! Run away!!!"

Kornblut worked as a Democrat propagandist for The Boston Globe [aka the Boston SnotGlob] during the impeachment wars.

No surprise that she went from one Democrat media organ to another...

Actually the NY TIMES when they repeat themselves OVER AND OVER about a topic such as Iraq was not involved in 9/11, you can be sure they are LYING. It’s part of the big lie because if you actually knew the truth, the credibility of the Gov’t, the MSM, ..... would crumble.

So they lie.

But the really interesting thing is you don’t even suspect the truth.

Look up Jayna Davis, she has the first piece of the puzzle.

the first 2 paragraphs only mean something to the kooky left fringe. Normal people see nothing wrong....even if it is total misrepresentation.
