That’s because they know she’s wrong. Apparently fox isn’t the only “news” outlet that turns a blind eye to the facts. Instead of pointing out what’s false, they instead cover issues like it’s a tennis match. It supposed to be, who is telling the truth, not who said what. Who doesn’t have their facts straight. Until they do this, they will continue to be useless.

Not surprised. AP has quite a right-leaning tilt.

Obama is an idiot

It seems wrong to blame Palin for these misrepresentations, since she very obviously doesn’t write a word of them personally. I mean, the sentences actually flow and make some degree of sense. Palin doesn’t. Ever.

@Bored2tears
Yes, It seems wrong to blame this stupid bitch. She would never intentionally tell a lie to stir up trouble so she could add to the 12 million dollars that she’s made from dumb white people.

As for death panels, Paul Krugman of the New York Times seems to define exactly how they will work here.

Not only define but endorse them because denying Grandma care will save money in the long wrong.

The key quote from him:

The Advisory Panel which has the ability to make more or less binding judgments on saying this particular expensive treatment actually doesn’t do any good medically and so we are not going to pay for it. That is actually going to save quit a lot of money. We don’t know how much yet. The CBO gives it very little credit but, but most, most of the health care economists I talk to think that’s going be a really, uh a really major cost saving.

Gee Eric sound like you mistyped name in that statement you diod mean Obama right as it fits him perfect

What new! Do a fact check on most of the things she says and you will find them a far stretch of the truth. She has become another public political attack dog. How she could even be put in the say sentence with a presidential runner is beyond me. Her an Hannity have a mission to attempt to destroy the character of the President in the name of patriotism. I thought a patriot was one that supported the goverment? They are entitled to their opinion. Unfortunately sometimes in their case the one eyed person is king in the land of the blind.

Truth..

According to Hillary Clinton, showing dissent is a patriotic duty.

Hannity and Sarah Palin are nothing but racist….. They care nothing about facts and neither does the AP

Why doesn’t she stop “makin’ stuff up?”

I think the way Obama’s handlers structure his comments does say quite a bit about their and his world view.

Greg Sargent: “Palin and her team of ghostwriters plucked Obama’s remark out of context to quote him saying “whether we like it or not,” we are a superpower. In reality, he was saying that ‘whether we like it or not,’ we get pulled into international conflicts that cost us American lives — so it’s in our security interests to resolve them.”

Mr. Sargent, analyzing something the President did NOT say, expressed what he wished the President had said, the better to club Sarah Palin. To come close to Mr. Sargent’s claim, the President would have said, but did not: “We get pulled into international conflicts that cost us American lives, whether we like that or not, because we remain a dominant military superpower, so it’s in our security interest to resolve them.”

However one places the clauses, his words reflected a view common on the Left that it’s unfortunate for America and the world that we are a dominant military superpower. That was part of the argument against the Vietnam War, beside the Left’s support for the Communist policies of the North Vietnamese, including their persecution of Roman Catholics: we were there because we were then a dominant military superpower. But it was and is far better for the world that the U.S.A. was and is the dominant military superpower, and not some other nation.

Our role as the world’s policeman has its limits, including the loss of our treasure and our lives. That is a topic worth debating, but falsifying both what the President said and Ms. Palin wrote is no way to go.

Mr. Sargent also referred to Ms. Palin’s “team of ghostwriters.” Her Facebook entries have been consistent in writing style from the start. It is possible that others write them and she edits them, but highly unlikely. She majored in journalism; people choose that major because they are confident in their verbal communication abilities. She can communicate and people know others lie about her.

Ugly insults abound. Leftists, in their boiling anger and rage, among other unpleasant defects, like deep prejudice, fanaticism, and irresponsibility, cannot control themselves. It’s better for people on the Right to leave the name-calling to the Left. The insults demean their issuers, not their targets, especially Sarah Palin. She is not my favorite to succeed the President; Gov. Mitch Daniels, not now a candidate, is. (VP: either Reps. Paul Ryan or Eric Cantor, or Gov. Bobby Jindal. America needs the best in the White House, not the worst, as is the present case.) But Gov. Palin would be a vastly superior President to the person currently dishonoring the office.

Finally, I do not have to the room to provide detailed evidence rebutting the bizarre notion that the AP has “quite a right-leaning tilt.” In what alternate universe?

I should have left out the accusations of “deep prejudice, fanaticism, and irresponsible.” However true and verifiable, their inclusion weakened my argument.

None of us is perfect. Left and Right agree on little. This man of the Right wants all people to be able to get needed health care paid for. An ER is not an acceptable substitute for primary care, especially for people of limited financial means. Many people who have costly or chronic medical conditions cannot pay for them. In decades past, they would get the pills the President thinks they should get and die sooner than necessary, often in great pain.

With the best of intentions, the Left has sought to provide solutions to those problems. But their solutions will create far greater problems and reflect a lack of understanding of the concept of insurance, or of health care, or of the coming crushing government power over who will be cured and who will be “allowed to die.”

Isn’t it ironic her decrying of the “lamestream media” taking her “don’t retreat, reload” statement out of context then attacking Obama for a statement she takes out of context?

Ok…I’ve seen the full comment, I’ve seen dozens and dozens of vague accusations that Palin’s taken Obama out of context on this and even here where there appears to be an attempt to explain it, it’s just another quote followed by nonspecific claims of ‘out of context’. Oh, with “slightly” added for sarcastic emphasis.

What EXACTLY was taken out of context? I’ve read his statement very carefully and I don’t see it. Someone please break it down for me.

theinsiderstraight – What Palin is trying to do by taking it out of context, is to say that Pres. Obama is ashamed of our super power status. What’s actually written, and looking at the context of the remarks is that Pres. Obama says that “like it or not” AS the SUPERPOWER we have to be the ones to get involved in these consequences. Essentially, he’s defending American intervention as something that WE MUST DO, like it or not.

Alfred, you seem like a good guy, but why, oh why, must you be one of those conservatives who generalize the left as being hate and rage filled? It’s just like those on the left saying the same thing about those on the right. I know the right is angry about the way they see the country going and about this president’s policies, but I for one don’t see them in general as hateful. It’s easy to see them on television or on internet message boards and read their posts as being hate filled. You see a few people on the left make some wacky, hateful comments and you seem to think, “Wow, ALL “leftists” must be this hateful”. Here’s the thing: All this hate, from both sides, is generated by this sense of anonymity people get from saying what they want with no one knowing who they are or where they are.

Also, this quote by Mrs. Palin was most certainly taken out of context. For Mr. Lemire, or anyone, to not acknowledge this is sad. Mr. Obama loves this country, and for anyone on here to believe otherwise, they are too blinded by their ideology to make a fair assumption about how the President feels about this country. As much as I disagree with what Mr. Bush did while he was in office, never once did I think it was because he hated this country. It’s juvenile, if anything.

Calchala – your answer works if you gut part of his comment. That answer would work if he said ‘whether we like it or not, when conflict breaks out we get pulled into them’.

I would even concur if he said “whether YOU like it or not, we remain…”

But since when do we get to redefine a statement based on what we want him to say? He CLEARLY, without confusion or discombobulation, said that we should reduce these conflicts “BECAUSE [and that's the key word], whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, AND when conflict…etc etc [the rest supports the superpower position].

That we remain the superpower is the reason why it’s in our interest to reduce conflicts…whether we like it or not that we are that superpower.

I can read that in his comment without removing anything, swapping anything around, adding anything, interpreting anything. Just simply…reading.

I don’t think that’s a stretch from who Obama is, from in his failure to embrace American exceptionalism to his childish vision that America can lead nations to a nuclear free world.

This is another case of a Democrat slipping and accidentally being honest…

But thanks for explaining it! :o)

stoogedude – Accurately portraying his comment isn’t making a statement on whether or not Obama hates America. I certainly hope he doesn’t. But there are people who think the world would be better off with a weaker America and who have it in their instincts to oppose the military. Do they all hate America?

I think Obama is misguided and I think Palin’s take on what he said is spot on. That doesn’t mean he hates America.

As far as Bush, there were legions of his opponents who though he did indeed hate America, he was a fascist dictator who was never going to leave office, he staged (or at least allowed) the 9/11 attacks, he launched wars to enrich his buddies in corporate America etc. etc. Calling Obama out when he slips and exposes tenants of his ideology that as president he usually downplays is not akin to the kind of bashing that Bush endured.
