So I can understand it when you try to make an apples-to-apples comparison between a conservative talk show host publicly punking a high school kid, and OW linking to some publicly available material from TV broadcasts which shows how much of an idiot one of the Bushes was on camera. And I’m trying to point out that you are being somewhat of a liar when you say if it was bad for one, it is bad for the other – because it wasn’t OW who went on TV and made false statements about pierced putsch in your example. It wasn’t anybody who went on TV and made false statements about pierce – OW’s clip is of pierce himself making a fool of himself.

If you were to compare O’Reilly to Limbaugh, you would be making a valid comparison. They both made up stuff about high school kids in order to make fun of them on national TV. If there was a liberal TV talk show host who made up crap about a high school student in order to smear him/her and label him/her as an eeeevul conservative (the way O’Reilly smeared and labeled this kid as an eeeeeevul librul), and you pointed to that as a comparison to what O’Reilly did, you might have a valid argument. But what you did was no more than a cheap smear tactic against OW. Standard practice for Repugnicants these days…

Plus, these comments are more to point out the standard Publican hypocrisy, lies, debate deflection, and smear tactics that Publicans engage in these days. Your comment is a classic example of that sort of thing IMHO and I wanted to point that out.

Not that I think you’ll listen to anything I have to say anyway. Or that you care one way or the other. You haven’t so far – why would things change now?

(Or you need to wait a few hours before you start drinking)

What the hell are you talking about?

Do I really want to know?

If O’Really? had gone after somebody who had publicly made some statements similar to young pierce, you might have half a leg to stand on.

Also, I’m not sure, but I think there might be a slight difference between the harassment of high school girls from prominent Publican media personalities, vs. a (somewhat) liberal blogger putting something together from publicly available footage.

Maybe it’s just me… and everyone else who doesn’t have their head up Putsch‘s a$$.

Which was the original point of OW s post.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

In 1993, when Chelsea was still in braces, Rush Limbaugh said the following: “Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat; Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?” He then pointed to a video monitor, which switched to a picture of Chelsea. Although Limbaugh has claimed that it was a technical error, as Al Franken documented in his book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, since the show was on a tape delay, if it truly was a technical error, it could have been corrected prior to airing of the show. In addition, the joke would not have made sense if Limbaugh had not intended for Chelsea’s photo to appear on screen, as the White House had no dog. (Buddy did not join the Clinton family until a few years later.)

Kinda interesting, too – so far the examples are Publicans making fun of high school girls (who never asked to be in the spotlight), and one Media fluffhead (who I would be calling part of the conservative media, while you seem to be considering her part of the liberal media) making fun of one 19 year old boy (who just happens to be a relative of the guy occupying the White House right now, who is making a public statement on TV).

But, hey – if that’s the best you’ve got, well… I know you guys are getting pretty close to the bottom of the barrel these days.

Which was the original point of OW’s point. So we come full circle once again. And I’m out…

BTW, everywhere I’ve worked, if you speak publically against the management of your company, you are terminated. Maybe you could tell me what part of the constitution that this ACLU’s proposed action violates.

I really don t understand the hard rights fascination with the ACLU.

Maybe the NYT can explain it.

Do some of you ever wish that you’d come across these guys in a restaurant? I’d love to “accidentally” drop a bowl of tripe on his head.

JK

They didn’t condemn Rush Limbaugh for enlisting the aid of the ACLU, why attack this girl?
