Salon Fakes Palin, Bachmann Quotes Blaming Obama for Casey Anthony Verdict

[Nachum]

In an article published Tuesday entitled “Casey Anthony: The Candidates Respond,” Salon Magazine smeared Sarah Palin and several Republican presidential candidates with faked quotes reacting to the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial. The faked quotes, especially those falsely attributed to Michele Bachmann and Palin, made their way around the Internet this week, adding to the media-driven campaign of hatred against leading Republican women. Palin was smeared as a separation-of-powers ditz, accusing President Barack Obama of not getting involved in the Anthony case: “Once again we see, with our nation in crisis, President Obama stands by and

And if they gain any significant notice Sarah will just Twitter or Facebook them back down their throats. That is also how the system works, but the LSM doesn't understand it. They'd call it racist, but if they really wanted to understand the effects of attacking Palin they'd read Uncle Remus! The LSM vs. Palin is Saul Alinsky vs. the Tar Baby. But Br'er Media will never learn and their attacks will continue to confirm that she is the real one.

That truly is funny! I want to ask did he really say that or is there a chance he was misquoted?

[presently no screen name]

the article clearly indicates that the quotes are satire.

Duh! OK, I didn't read the article.

[Publius6961]

With such a dishonest, compromised, biased BigMedia, there really isn’t much hope for America these days, is there?

I have loads of hope. Real hope.
Even the parasite welfare culture isn't completely stupid.

More pathetic attempts by the Alinsky "Rules For Spoiled Brats" crowd to delude the public.

Salon fans of course are hardly "the public." They are the ideological issue of the 1960s Marxists and are expected to spread the lies. Most employees of the MSM are IMO in that mob.

Alex Pareene/Salon might take a lesson from John Semmens who writes better satire and also is straightforward about his articles’ status as ‘semi-news, semi-satire.’ What Pareene did was journalistic malpractice tho who can tell the difference?

Pareene seems to have been trying to achieve another “I can see Russia from my porch” where it doesn’t matter that Sarah Palin never made that comment, but it’s argued by libs that she did thanks to Tina Fey.

[Kenton]

Everybody knows. Except 97% of Obama libtards who continue to believe that Sarah actually said that she could see Russia from her kitchen window...

Yeah, I asked a Palin-hating female I know why she hated Palin so badly, and she told me that Palin was stupid, and she gave the Tina Fey quote about seeing Russia from her kitchen window as proof.

I explained that Sarah never said that, that she was quoting Tina Fey, not Palin. I told her she needed to spend her evenings watching the actual news, not SNL.

She didn't like it when I asked her "who's feeling stupid now?" We don't talk much anymore...

RE: [The "satirical" quotes] exist simply for google hits. Some left winger will make reference to these fake quotes. It’s how the system works.

Thank you!

You know how it works.

I recall the tactics being used even by Sunday comic strips. Only it was to spread the acceptance of violence against conservatives; e.g., against Ward Connerly. The popular "black" comic strip's characters planned beating Connerly with a board spiked with nails.

The best and brightest Sacramento Bee brains dismissed complaints saying that it was just "satire."

Recall the attempts to smear Dr. Gerome Corsi by some lefty magazine lies who when caught apparently quickly doctored their online publication with a "satire" label.

Lefties' claims of "satire" are strictly out of Alinsky's Rules For Spoiled Brats.

President Cain would look her right in the eyes and ask her point blank if she killed that little girl, we’d get right to the bottom of it.”

Right. Just like veteran detectives Melich and Allen did.

[NonValueAdded]

Salon cannot claim absence of malice. Salon is what pond scum scrapes off its shoes.

[Arrowhead1952]

We don't talk much anymore...

I did something similar to a lib when I told him that obozo said he had campaigned in all 57 states. He said "There is no way obama would make such a statement", but I emailed the video link on youtube. I didn't even ask the "Now who is stupid?" comment, but he doesn't speak to me anymore. Heck, he avoids looking at me now.

[eater-of-toast]

I had the same question. Conservatives would do well to avoid the liberal habit of constantly moaning and groaning about sexism, hatred, and the biggest devil of them all, racism (!!!11).

[trumandogz]

“Lefties’ claims of “satire” are strictly out of Alinsky’s Rules For Spoiled Brats.”

Just what kind of satire do you believe should be permitted?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***Palin was smeared...***

Oh for a return to the days of CODE DUELLO when you could call out these slimes at Salon and force them to retract or shoot!

[muawiyah]

Salon is a dangerous crowd. After all they’re the people who dumped Caylee’s body in the swamp.

[OpusatFR]

What?

I didn’t follow the trial. What does this mean: “After all they’re the people who dumped Caylee’s body in the swamp.”

[muawiyah]

If Salon is making up quotes for Palin I can make up quotes for Salon ~ it’s all just satire!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They know she’s inevitable.

They knew it the first time they saw her.

It's why they go insane every time they think of her.
