Oh there is bias at work here but it ain’t the medias. Or did you misspell “my”?
Oh, poor poor John McCain, forced to release information that would have been discovered by a press doing its job. My heart, it breaks in two for him.
Are you suggesting that if Chelsea Clinton had been pregnant as a teenager that the press wouldn’t have reported it? More importantly, do you realize that with every post you make you come off stupider than the post before?
Keep barking the party line, Fido.
Perxactly. And not only that, but the press “doing its job” would then have had a field day accusing the McCain campaign of trying to cover it up and keep it a secret because they knew it would reflect poorly on her as both a parent and candidate. By putting the information out there itself, the McCain camp forestalled some of that skullduggery.
Hadn’t thought about it actually. What I’m suggesting is exactly what I said, the media allowed the Clintons to use Chelsea for their benefit while at the same time honoring their request to leave her alone. But when it comes to the Republican candidate and her daughter, Palin has no right to choose reportage of her children only when it benefits her.
Good thing McCain has always been so circumspect WRT young girls.
Just saying it over and over again does not make it true (unless you’re 5 years old, I guess).
Christ you’re a tool.
Oh, and Rush with his “family dog” comment about Chelsae.
But they’re just jokes! Lighten up! some say… Ya right. The last refuge of the scoundrel… “I was just joking!”
Stick around, young man. I like the cut of your jib.
Cite? Cite Cite Cite? Cite cite cite cite cite? Cite, cite cite cite? Cite? I only repeat myself because you are being so damnably obtuse. Where is this unfair coverage of Sarah Palin’s daughter. I honestly haven’t heard or seen a single bit of it. You keep claiming media bias and have offered only one single cover of a gossip rag as proof of the vast left wing conspiracy that apparently is savaging poor Bristol Palin.
Actually, they released it to quell the rumors that Trig’s real mother was Bootsie. It was the McCain camp that used the girl, not the press.
Except of course she used her child to try to benefit her.
Arrrr matey. Just wait two weeks for International talk like a pirate day
Arrrrr.
You’re a dumb shit.
Well the truth does have a liberal bias.
That sounds like you’re assuming that something would have been found had they not “left her alone” pre or post-18, but it’s not like the big bad mainstream press, the meanie bloggers, or even the tabloids would have found anything interesting about Chelsea other than schoolwork and the occasional vanilla boyfriend. I would imagine she knows all about and uses birth control, and we’ve never heard even whispering of juicy party behavior.
Aside from the occasional story about underage drunken parties, hasn’t the press pretty much left the Bush twins alone? And hasn’t Bush used his daughters for his benefit (through photo ops and on the campaign trail) plenty of times before? The only consistent bias in the media is one towards a juicy, titillating story. Baby mama drama is the oldest titillating story in the book.
Hush now. You just don’t understand. See, Republicans are victims. Okay, they’ve been in power for 8 years. People have been really, really mean to them. Same with ‘Christians’. It doesn’t matter if they’re in fact the vast majority in this country. They’re still victimized, damnit. They can’t even force people to teach the Bible to their kids or make them say Christian prayers in schools, even if they themselves don’t happen to be Christian the way they should be. Why aren’t people ever grateful?
The explanation for that is obvious. She’s voting for the 2000 edition McCain, not the 2008 edition McCain, so she’s still one of them.
No, that’s your term. What they are is a group of people in the U.S. that is out of favor with the left and so they’re routinely mischaracterized and maligned, and attempts are made to marginalize their influence.
This simply makes them people who are routinely mischaracterized and maligned, and subject to attempts to marginalize their influence.
They generally only get referred to as victms by people such as you who want to use it to make fun of them for their understandable resistance to these tactics.
Republicans are Liberals now?
When’d that happen?
Democrats belong to the tax & spend party.
Republicans belong to the spend & spend party.
