You do not understand the SPIN.

3 D thining sees the object and the stereotype and 4 D thinking sees what it is doing through time and culture.

The phony "liberal" and "progressive" "msm" and "bloggers" have been spun into the worst behavior of the right wihn utbars and sleazebags. They don't get it but Obama did.

You don't get the demograph ic appeal either. People like to vote for people they identify with and she is more oofan all of the other three candidates put together. Who really identifies with McCain, Biden or Obama?

Other power brokers, wheeler dealers, war pushers and flag wavers.

You don't get PR either. Her name is everywhere. Bad PR is great PR. What you perceive as bad is viewed by many as good. You don't get that, do you?

People are stupid, and you aren't so bright either.

The RNC are entertaining us. You are following their script.

Biden targeting Russia, Afghanistan and Pakistan?

Not baffling at all. Democrats are the WAR party - just like the Republicans.

Nothing baffling here, just political bullshit.

And bullshit reporting.

An Adult? On Salon? Writing about Palin?

I am shocked and surprised.

Someone with a 3 digit IQ other than Greenwald and Paglia writing for Salon?

Wow!

Keep up the good work, if Joan wants to have a word with you, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

/beware of the pod people!

Good article.

You pathetic Journalsimist.

You sir, have the maturity of a 10 year old on prozac, welbutrin and amphetamines.

Is that sleaze bag Schaller sharing with you?

You pathetic Journalsimist.

You have the maturity of a 10 year old on prozac, welbutrin and amphetamines.

A 10 year old with no parents.

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 02:09 PM

Salon is still a sleazy rag

Once you and Schaller are gone it may get better.

It may get even worse.

Cheap associative smear - homage to selling beer or a car with a pretty girl

GUSTAV - BAD

GLOBAL WARMING - BAD

SARAH PALIN - ???

You are so sleazy. So pathetic. So effective.

That is how you sell bullshit - take one thing and associate it with something else.

Sleaze bag.

/No I am not voting for her - Cynthia McKinney is anti-war and the others are pro-war.

Yeah, but killing them with grenades, bombs, missiles and shrapnel is COOL!

We are the best killers in the world.

Original article: Today in Palin

Yes, it is Bullshit.

Stop spewing it.

Oh, it's your job to spew Bullshit?

You get paid to spew Bullshit?

Well then that is what you are.

Bullshit.

Shovels? Hip boots too!

Your offal is deep and ripe.

One envies Dewey Cox.

Original article: More Palin-tological finds

You pathetic Journalsimist.

Palin's offenses are insignificant compared to ANYONE who supports the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq. That "bridge to nowhere" would cost less than our cost for an afternoon in Iraq.

Ignore the real issues and spew BS - the mark of a shill and journalsimist.

You and your writing should be flushed.

@LittleLo

Wrong. She understands that the war is over oil.

That means she has more on the ball than any of the other three war candidates.

You cut and pasted that copy from somewhere else, didn't you?

Monday, September 1, 2008 04:47 PM

Palin on war (something other than Journalsim pandering for Salon)

"We are a nation at war and in many [ways] the reasons for war are fights over energy sources, which is nonsensical when you consider that domestically we have the supplies ready to go."

Brom an article in Business week.

So, which other candidate has said that the war is over oil?

Biden? McCain? Obama?

No, not one of them.

The feminization of the American Presidency may be a good thing.

Monday, September 1, 2008 04:19 PM

JUST STOP IT.

This is not an appropriate issue.

Even Obama agrees with me.

WTF is wrong with you people?

@ blackpaw

Oh no you don't!

The word is journalsim - I made it up for Joan Walsh and Salon.

Now she is immortal. An Icon for the ages!

Too poor to travel.

Thanks to both parties and their loyalty to the fat cats who always insist on taking a bigger slice of the pie so there is less for everyone else.

Massive amounts of wealth have been created. The rules are set so that the people never benefit.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

It isn't about virtue - it is about theft.

Continue voting for your masters oh you happy landless peasants! Now you cannot even travel.

Monday, September 1, 2008 02:46 PM

Let those without sin cast the first stone.

Funny how that line NEVER works on psychopaths.

Too bad that is the new norm.

/RIMSHOT

Why isn't he running for president? I would rather vote for someone who tells jokes rather than vote for one.

Monday, September 1, 2008 01:23 PM

You left out the part about FIRING! Any wonder why?

"When asked about an “unnamed McCain advisor” accusing the Obama campaign of spreading despicable rumors surrounding Bristol Palin online, Obama interrupted the reporter mid-question. “I am offended by that statement. There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us,” he said directly. “Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I ever thought that it was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that - they’d be fired,” he added."

FIRED!

Why didn't you quote that paragraph?

FIRED!

Monday, September 1, 2008 01:18 PM

@AlecsMom

So am I.

That is not a pleasant feeling.

EEEEEEWE!

Monday, September 1, 2008 01:15 PM

TOO BAD HE CAN'T FIRE YOU AND JOAN.

People like you make him look bad.

Just like I said.

WTF is wrong with you people?

FIRE SCHALLER AND WALSH - OBAMA WOULD!

“Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will not be,” Mr. Obama snapped. “And if I ever thought there was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they’d be fired, OK?”

SHAME ON SCHALLER, WALSH AND SALON!

STOP THE SHIT THROWING NOW!

FIRE SCHALLER AND WALSH - OBAMA WOULD!

“Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will not be,” Mr. Obama snapped. “And if I ever thought there was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they’d be fired, OK?” - Barack Obama

SHAME ON SCHALLER, WALSH AND SALON!

STOP THE SHIT THROWING NOW!
