[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] President Obama today took a higher moral stand {...} Meanwhile, Sarah Palin issued a teleprompted speach[/qb][/QUOTE]I'm sorry, but that's funnier'n hell, there. I mean, to contrast TOTUS with someone and decry that someone for using a teleprompter . . . you can't buy irony like that. Jon Stewart and Joe Biden and everyone else on the planet have joked about Obama's dependency on teleprompters, but all of the sudden he's somehow flawless in this regard?[/QUOTE]I point it out because the biggest critic of Obama using a teleprompter is Palin herself. You recall, the night she got caught with her notes written on her hand? I guess she decided teleprompters were not so bad after all. ;) [QUOTE]Yeah, she could've held a pep rally at the memorial, filled with applause and cheering. Oh, wait, that was Obama. [/QUOTE]You can call it a "pep rally" if you want to- the families of the victims sure did not see it that way- anymore than those gathered at the site the World Trade center did when Bush delivered his speech there. Funny how no one from the supposedly "leftist" media critiqued Bush's speech while hawks on the right had started talking trash before Obama's speech ended. [QUOTE]In any case, you are contrasting someone NOT blamed for the event with someone who WAS blamed for the event. You can hardly expect the same attitude, and you can hardly expect her to not respond (and if she hadn't responded, you'd have bitched about that anyway). So respond she did, while also outclassing Obama in regards to the moral high ground.[/QUOTE]Yeah it was pretty classy to deliver a taped message about how [i]she's[/i] the victim on a day reserved for honoring the dead. Of course, you probably also buy that those were “surveyor’s marks” and not crosshairs too. [QUOTE]Look up "Blood Libel"[/QUOTE]Why? It describes the libel correctly, and the use of "blood" as an adjective is as correctly used as it is for such recent ideas as "blood diamonds". It may be something of a play on words, but it is both a correct description and also correctly conveys the fact that conservatives (like Palin) are improperly persecuted by the leftist media's lies. [/qb][/QUOTE] Sure. And if she said she was a victim of a media "Holocaust" instead, that would have been just fine with you too, right? After all, even though it describes a particular thing, the words could mean [i]anything[/i] if you don’t know their context. But for people affected by that type of slander, it's pretty offensive. It's laughable that people like Palin and Limbaugh can decry the power and consequence of their own words while playing the victim when confronted with them- Rush Limbaugh said "words have power" when reporters asked him about his drug addiction but blatantly telling lies that the Democrats are trying to het Gifford's assailant freed from prison is okay? You talk of media's lies. well, there it is. hardly from "'the Left". [/QB][/QUOTE]
