Who in this thread has used that term? The OP used the well-known ironic zinger “reality has a well-known liberal bias”, but that’s not the same thing.
Face it, people are making fun of Palin (liberals and conservatives both) primarily because she says dumb things. Your attempts to change the subject by shrill and resentful mocking of liberals (whom you can’t even quote correctly, it seems) just make you look like a sore loser.
Exactly. The newspaper has responsibility for the stories it prints even if somebody else wrote them.
The one about the drug dealing allegations seems like a matter of interpretation of the phrase " ‘Whenever she was in contact with Palin, that was probably the only time it came into play,’ said trooper spokeswoman Beth Ipsen." and certainly different people can interpret things in different ways.
As for the rumors about Trig’s birth, notice that the reporter never actually published the story they were gathering this info for, so it’s impossible to say what the reporter’s true intent in the story was. It’s not at all surprising that Palin’s camp suspected the worst from the journalist trying to pry into the medical records of the birth.
Sort of like how I imagine that most people would not look on it kindly if I kept asking if their kid ever had a paternity test done, even if I was only investigating because other people kept talking about what a ho the kid’s mom is. Some people are just a bit touchy about wanting to discuss their personal life and family. shrug
Same difference.
Sore loser? The guy I voted for won.
It’s just fun watching y’all twist around trying to prove out smart you are with your ass-umptions.
True. Such people should probably not run for national public office.
No, candidates don’t have to answer every question asked about their family lives, but it’s a bit unrealistic to go into a public snit about the questioning.
As long as they aren’t stealing her precious energy right?
But it just drives you crazy to see the liberals so happy about it.
Yeah, your bitter and resentful snarling really testifies to how much fun you’re having. Face it, making fun of Sarah Palin is a bipartisan political sport, and it has nothing to do with trying to prove oneself smart. It doesn’t take any exceptional smarts to notice when Palin says something ridiculous.
So you’re an equal opportunity douchebag?
Yeah basically.
No, it’s just funny to watch liberals think they are so much smarter than conservatives. If there is anything that I learned from Karl Rove it’s, “They ain’t.”
So have fun, and I’ll have fun taking the piss out of ‘the reality based community’, with my bitter and resentful snarling. 
And we should take your word for how you voted in the protected privacy of the booth over our reading of your many shrill, right-wing screeds here because of what? Your record of honest and open debate?:rolleyes:
You forgot “blatently incompetent.” To me, that’s more powerful than “dishonest” or “self absorbed”–she is showing her colors here (and elsewhere). She doesn’t get what she is revealing, or how damaging it is (or even how self-contradictory it is, other than to her moose-eatin’, Koolaid-drinkin’ supporters). If I were a rightwing nutjob, I might prefer someone remotely competent at media-management. She would make me long for the days of a smooth operator like W.
Indeed. She has a habit of using her family as human shields against criticism:
And she still has the gall to complain because her family ends up in the news when it isn’t convenient for her?
I was very surprised at what a poor writer Palin is for someone with a degree in journalism.
Here is the text of her letter to the editor:
*Subject: More “mistakes”?
Hello Mr. Doyle and Mr. Dougherty!
Please, say it aint so: did you really allow a story to run in your paper today claiming Levi Johnston is a high school drop out? Did I read that right?
And did you really print a story last week suggesting I had any connection with Sherry Johnston’s activities in the past six months or so and you won’t correct the story? Did I read that right?
And is your paper really still pursuing the sensational lie that I am not Trig’s mother? Is it true you have a reporter still bothering my state office, my very busy doctor (who’s already set the record straight for you), and the school district, in pursuit of your ridiculous conspiracy?
And, oh, I could go on…
Come on Mr. Doyle and Mr. Dougherty, I so desperately want to have even a tiny bit of faith in the ADN. You’re stripping me of even a shred of faith in your reporting if any of the recent aforementioned strange and untrue reports were taken seriously by the ADN. Would you shed some light on what you’re thinking regarding these false reports you’ve pursued and/or printed?"*
At least it’s not as nearly as incoherant as her spoken word.
I’d like to see this graded by her Comp I instructor and returned to the author.
Shrill right wing screeds. It’s so funny that on another message board I am getting the third degree as a representative of the left. Just because I don’t blow off traditional culture as irrelevant, I write shrill right wing screeds. LOL hilarious.
If anything I have a natural antipathy to totalitarian ideology, but that’s about as far as it goes.
The world isn’t binary. It’s not black and white, it’s not even shades of grey, it’s a whole spectrum of beautiful colors.
Yeah, Sarah Palin’s a moron, but so is anyone who uses the term, “reality based community”. It’s really funny when people’s ideologies can be reduced to stock catch-phrases.
But here’s some right-wing commie literature for ya on the culture of the stock catch-phrase:
It’s not Sarah Palin that you hate right? It’s what she represents.
I don’t care if she represents Carmen Electra and her all-girl band of naked banjo players … she’s a fucking moron.
Stupidity?
Personally, I’ve got nothing against Palin. She did what most of us would have done- grasped a brass ring that presented itself, with both hands.
It’s not her fault she was unqualified and not ready to face national scrutiny; she didn’t select herself as the Republican candidate for Vice President.
Yeah I have no idea what McCain was thinking, though my hunch would be, ‘not much.’ In one fell swoop he showed us that he’s not qualified to be President. It was one of the most odd turns of events in political history that I’ve observed.
Y’know, you’ve convinced me. I agree with your argument.
Searches “reality based community” on this page.
Oh look, we have exactly ONE moron participating in this thread today!
…and it’s various permutations.
You so clever. 
But in case you weren’t aware, “reality-based” is a phrase coined by conservatives as something that they proudly are not. This is something that was apparent to non-conservatives for a long time–they’re views are predominantly faith-based and conspiracy-theory-based–but it was amazing to hear them so explicity distance themselves from reality.
The phrase “reality has a well-known liberal bias” was used by Stephen Colbert to mock the tendency of conservatives to dismiss unwelcome facts as the product of “liberal bias”.
Again, it’s not “hate”. Palin is a joke, not a monster. But yes, it’s the tendency of conservatives to support ideological know-nothings who happen to be personable in some way, and “just like us”.
