I watched what the guy said on CSPAN and I was not exactly pleased by it. I commend FOX for cutting it out but I’m skeptical whether they would have done the same thing if it was someone saying something nasty about Obama. The jury’s still out on that.

lolololololololol. I say to you, Sarah Palin, that you are without doubt the dumbest person to ever be a supposedly serious candidate for national office. And everyone with a brain knows it.

A great litmus test of if a person is an idiot or not is if they’d vote for Sarah Palin for President. Because no matter how much you might dislike/disagree w/Obama, if you have a brain, you aren’t entrusting the United States to Sarah Palin under any circumstances. Which was part of the reason Obama won so many swing states in 08. She drove GOP turnout in Alabama but she turned the true independents, about 10% of the electorate, sharply to Obama. Because she’s an idiot. And true independents typically have brains, and therefore realize Sarah Palin is an idiot.

It snowed somewhere in the world today, hence global warming isn’t real.

Well hopefully somebody out there has video of that gentleman completing his thought and Tommy will be able to update his blog posting with it.

Jury just got back! The verdict is: No, they absolutely would not have, and probably would have replayed it throughout the newsweek as part of their coverage of the tragedy.

Why… I don’t his thought’s run very deep. He jumped to the same conclusion as many on here did and Paul Krugman and too many on the left (MSNBC) have done. As the info on this nutjob comes out it appears he has some left sympathies. And I say “Who cares!!!” I don’t care if he turn out to be a liberal, MSNBC loving, Kos blogging, HuffPost hippie. That just means HE’S a nutjob… not ALL liberals. I will not hold all liberals to count for what this dbag did.

Remember when they cut away from Obama taking questions from the House GOP caucus at their winter meetings last year? Once he got off the prompter and could really delve into the policy with some of these clowns. Not that they’re all clowns. But some, ahem Steve King/Bachmann/the anti-Islam NC aldy/gene schmidt, those are clowns, Shrine extraordinaires. They are to clowns what Gordon Bloyers is to internet radio superstardom.

They never edited out any video, genius. They showed a cell phone video of someone just holding a gun, which happened to be the black man, while Brewer was talking about white people at the rally holding guns (which ther was). As much as that statement was ridiculous for her to make, THERE WAS NO VIDEO EDITED BY MSNBC. Period. There is no proof of that and there is no evidence of MSNBC deliberately editing anything to not show what it was showing. The only thing I fault them for is not knowing that the man was black, but the video was not theirs, and they clearly never took it because it was terrible grainy quality that a cell phone typically has. If it was MSNBC’s video footage, there would have been the NBC News logo at the bottom or top.

Sarah Palin deserves every bit of criticism she will undoubtedly get from this incident. If this ruins her career forever, at least something good will have emerged from a tragic set of events. Palin is toxic and horrific and should be “refudiated” in no uncertain terms.

In no way would that make it “good.” It is a sad and tragic event, but at least partially fomented by Palin’s evil deeds. Nothing can make it good, but the destruction of Palin’s career would be a beneficial side effect.

Look again moron. They took a wideshot that clearly showed his color and tightened the shot to crop that out. Research before you speak. The same video was shown later on Olbermann with out the tight shot edit. Several articles were writen about this. You and armwood would do well to broaden your reading.

The guy was a kook and a Liberal btw, by the admission of one of his former classmates who knew him, so what does the shooting have to do with Sarah Palin?

If you say it is because she had a target on southern arizona…well Daily Kos had a target on CONGRESSWOMAN GIFFORD…and if the guy WAS A LIBERAL as people who knew him have said…then it is highly unlike he was a Palin supporter…if any thing he might have been ON THE OTHER SIDE.

Does this mean Fox News won’t report on Todd Palin’s hooker problems?

It appears to me that Shep was giving a coming-up because a commercial break was scheduled. He tossed to vigil to play them out and at the appropriate time, the computer jumped to the commercial. Now maybe they were on manual and a director had their finger on the button, but personally, I think it looked so dramatic because they didn’t have music or a meld into a graphic for the bumper.

@PoliticalPAW

So….now that it is established that a former classmate acknowledged that the shooter was a radical Liberal letwinger…now what does the shooting have to do with Sarah Palin?

Did he say he was shooting people because OF Sarah Palin and her website?

Or did he shoot the congresswoman because he saw the blog ON Daily Kos…a radical Liberal website?

hmmm it would seem a radical crazy Liberal would have more likely seen the article about Congresswoman Gifford on the Daily Kos and acted on that instead of Sarah Palin’s site.

Or did he just shot people because he was just crazy?

Well that would make sense to people who are NOT BRAIN DEAD ZOMBIES.

I know it is hard for some Liberals to see the truth…but try squeezing some of those brain cells together and let those synapses work a little harder.

http://www.mediaite.com/online/who-is-the-assailant-that-opened-fire-on-rep-gabrielle-giffords/

Now if you can see that there is no connection between the Liberal shooter and Sarah Palin…then bravo.

One former classmate can not serve as the end all be all of knowledge into whatever political leanings the assassin may or may not have. It doesn’t matter anyway. One lunatic does not define a way of thought in a nation unless he’s part of a dictatorship. In short, it doesn’t matter if he was a “liberal.” He’s not a representation of the progressive movement. He’s a murderer and an assassin: descriptions that are totally at odds with the liberal way of thought as I understand it.

FNC Cuts Out on Sarah Palin Rant? Not so fast…
Posted in FNC on January 8, 2011 by icn2

Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher writes about FNC going to break when some guy at a demonstration starts to invoke Sarah Palin’s name. Christopher seems to believe, or at the very least infers the possibility, that FNC did it because Palin’s an FNC contributor.

During a Fox News segment today, anchor Shep Smith tossed to a live shot of a vigil for critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and several seconds into it, as one mourner said “…and I say to you, Sarah Palin…” abruptly cut to a commercial. Sarah Palin, a Fox News contributor, has come under fire in the early aftermath of this mass shooting, as some are connecting it with her “crosshairs” ad from earlier this year.

With so little known at this time, cooler heads are resisting making political hay out of this shooting, but the coincidence of Giffords’ shooting, her placement on Palin’s “crosshairs” map, and Giffords’ own comments about that map have combined to make Palin an early scapegoat, particularly on the left. At best, though, it’s an eery, unfortunate confluence.

Sounds ominously damning doesn’t it? Well, it does until you see the video clip Christopher has up there. It’s pretty obvious what’s going on. Shep was headed to a break, which he even announced, and teased about this vigil at the capitol which the control room then brought up on the screen. But since they were headed to commercial it was only going to be up a few seconds anyways. It was a tease. It just happened to be a freak coincidence that the person on the screen uttered Palin’s name just before the commercial started.

If it had been a real cutaway caused by the control room not wanting to show something it would have been more along the lines of what happened during Stewart and Colbert’s Rally for Sanity when Tamron Hall announced that they were going to switch to it for a bit…only they happened to be switching when Stewart was running that talking head montage which included clips of people on MSNBC like Ed Schultz and Keith Olbermann…and they quickly cut back to Hall who really hadn’t stopped talking the whole time. That’s a textbook case of control room evasion. Tonight was just a bizarro world coincidence.

Loughner’s ties to conspiracy theory
By: Carrie Budoff Brown
January 9, 2011 02:24 PM EST

Jared Lee Loughner’s rants about grammar and mind control track closely to the writings of a conspiracy theorist who believes that is how the government controls the populace, one leading group says – and the man tells POLITICO he agrees with some of Loughner’s statements.

The far-right activist, David Wynn Miller, said in a telephone interview that he didn’t know Loughner, but agreed with his statement in a YouTube video that “the government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar.”

“Absolutely I would agree with it,” said Miller, 62, a former tool-and-die maker from Milwaukee who claims 1 billion “students” worldwide.

But he said any suggestion that his writings influenced Loughner to go on a shooting rampage is “ridiculous.”

J$P: Fox Haters Week in Review
http://johnnydollar.us/files/110109fhwir.php

Palin was created by the desperation of John McCain (from Arizona, of course). She should never have been elevated to the position she’s in. Palin’s values probably don’t reflect much about Alaska and they certainly have nothing to do with the lives of 90% of Americans. Most American are not against guns, but I’m certainly against the stranglehold of the NRA which condones and encourages the use of AK-47′s and the virtually unrestricted sale of guns in most parts of the country as well as allowing people to carry concealed weapons wherever they want. We must be crazy and the craziness has to end. What will it take to understand that the language of violence does lead to violence. Also, the anti Obama, the anti-immigrant and anti Muslim bigots should stop being in denial about their prejudices. We have big probems but the right is basically part of the problem and I wish this weren’t the case. The left has a lot to answer for but, in reality, more of the answers are coming from the left. Wake up Americans. We have a great heritage and we don’t have to go down as most corrupt empires have, but we will unless we wake up out of our stupor.

Just play the whole damn clip and let us decide for ourselves.

That IS the whole damn clip, at least as the viewers saw it.

While the exact procedure varies from one TV station to another, the director usually calls for the “break” sequence to start and a countdown begins. Other personnel follow the count and perform the actual video roll, switching, etc.

There are only a few reasons why such an abrupt “cut” as this one would occur: operator or equipment error, for instance. “Breakaways” to local cable systems for local commercial insertions are usually pretty smooth, though the “return cut” may be awkward.

This looked like a deliberate “crash cut” to the break – meaning they were in a hurry to cut the guy off. I cannot swear to this, of course, because I wasn’t in the control room – but SOMEBODY was.

I agree with the sentiment that politics of any sort were inappropriate in this setting. Nevertheless, if they had a choice Fox would’ve been better off letting the guy “talk into black,” regardless of what he said. After the break, they could have noted the inappropriateness or simply continued the show rather than drawing attention to the situation.

Having worked in TV for many years, I know – painfully well – that “flubs” do happen. I could tell heartbreaking/hilarious tales of such travails from a first-person perspective. Ahem.

The best way to deal with an awkward on-air situation is to maneuver out of it as gracefully as the situation permits. As we see here, crash cuts only serve to draw unwanted attention.

Again; I cannot say with ontological certitude that this was the case in this instance.

“Go watch MSNBC… it will tell you what you want to hear.”

Fox Propaganda and MSNBC will tell right wingers and liberals respectively what they want to hear most times. The difference that hosts and guests on Fox lie through their teeth and rarely if ever correct themselves. MSNBC gets the facts right and make corrections when they get the facts wrong. The difference is not just bias, it’s credibility. The Fox Propaganda Channel has none and cannot attain it so long as Beck is employed there.

Thumb up 4 Thumb down 2

Inside Cable News pokes holes in Tommy’s “theory.”

Come, come Blue.

We all know that unlike Tommy, Straight down the Middle , Christopher Spud is a crazed right wing FOX hack. LOL

Well, I knew I could count on that little bitch Tommy to hype anything that was anti-Palin.
Since Tommy is the George Soros paid Palin hater on this site, just another hateful liberal post followed by comments by the liberal wack jobs.

I wonder why it is always left wing wackos that revel in this stuff. Barack Obama tells his people to bring guns to the fight and none of the liberals care that he says that. The next night Kenneth Gladney is beat up by SEIU goons at a rally and no liberals care. Obama tells Latinos to keep in mind who their enemies are and the liberals think that is just fine.
Then a wack job who is more anarchist than anything else… and aren’t anarchists just far far left liberals? he kills Giffords and others and someone liberal twisted minds say it is Sarah Palin’s fault.

Liberals have no moral compass because they basically have no moral base so they can have no shame which allows them to think they are always on the right side of the argument even while they are on all sides of the argument at the same time. Isn’t the twisted hateful liberal mind wonderful?

Put the dress back in the closet Tommy. It does not fie. Too tight in the butt.

I watched what the guy said on CSPAN and I was not exactly pleased by it. I commend FOX for cutting it out but I’m skeptical whether they would have done the same thing if it was someone saying something nasty about Obama. The jury’s still out on that.

Using Beck and Hannity to defend your insanity is the difference. You can’t argue intellectually, you’re repeating the hate and fear rhetoric based on paranoia created by your propagandists.

“Over at Mediaite, Tommy Christopher did a post exposing Fox News for [cutting off]* a speaker just as he was about to mention Sarah Palin. There are many problems with this that we don’t need to address here, because Inside Cable News pretty much laid out [what really happened]**. We would just add that the break FNC was heading into was a computer-controlled hard break, one that always comes at that time since it’s where cable providers insert local ads. And yet at Crooks & Liars, John Amato [preposterously states]^ that Fox ‘started covering the vigil’ but cut away at the mention of Palin. And at Daily Kos, it turns up again as proof that Fox is ‘[protecting]^^’ Palin. The Einstein who wrote this adds that Murdoch should have his broadcast license taken away. (FNC doesn’t have or need a broadcast license as it’s a not a broadcast station.) It won’t surprise you to know that Ellen Brodsky of the newshounds [eagerly parroted]*^ this phony smear:”

It was on a 7 second loop and cut intentionally. They knew what was coming…they didn’t want their viewers to know…

All the time when I am around Liberals, they automatically assume I am also a Liberal because I am a person of color (they are racists) and if you happen to mention something on the news…their eyes glaze over and start spewing crazzzzzy Liberal talking points about GUESS WHO? SARAH PALIN…lol…OR GLENN BECK.

I ask them have you ever seen his show …and of course like idiots…they never have…but THEY HEARD he was “evil”….LOL

If Beck makes any common sense to you – it’s you that is the idiot. A failed student and self-proclaimed “opinionator” whom only just realized the communist artwork that shrouds 30 Rock – can’t be that bright. He lacks any real history outside of his alcholic and drug binged youth, then the indoctrination into Mormonism and his selective choice of history to create a hate and fear Armageddon that the religious fanatics in the right wing pray for, smearing any and everyone that calls him out on his lies. His flock is too innocent or ignorant to know any better or question him – and Beck becomes, like Jim Jones and David Koresch, echoed here. This is his job for the Republicans. Distort and lie – call the opposition socialists, communists, liberals, progressives, fascists – anything to stir the hate and fear crowd that is the GOP and Teabaggers they created from the disenfranchised cults hiding in the woods and under rocks of America. The Republicans are doing Bin Laden’s work – destroying America from within.

Religion is no excuse to be knowingly and willingly stupid.

Allow me to finish, “and I say to you, Sarah Palin, you should be the one shot, and lived in incredible pain before dying.” Personal note: then the whole country would be doing high 5’s.

Perhaps you’re being satirical, it’s hard to tell sometimes. No, the left does not support assassination.

What Backus commented about Beck and Fox is spot on. It’s nice to see someone else who can tell what that liar and charlatan is up to.

James Gregory Backus says:
“If Beck makes any common sense to you – it’s you that is the idiot.”

I would not say “idiot” though; I would argue that people who think that Beck makes common sense are ignorant, gullible fools. They may be smart at their profession but ignorant ab out political discourse and the Constitution which Beck absurdly claims is supported by “faith, hope and charity.” This is just uncommon nonsense, and any high school graduate with common knowledge in civics should know this.

Sarah Palin is furious right now. She’s not furious over the tragedy that killed 6 people and wounded 14 others. She’s furious that she has been connected to this tragedy. If you look at her initial statement to Glenn Beck she is acting completely defensive. There was no outpouring of contrition. She has no class or character. All she cares about is greed and power. We do not need more people like her in politics.

For the thousandth time, they aren’t crosshairs(even though Palin wants them targeted) they’re surveyors marks. Yeah, that’s what they are, surveyors marks. Wait a minute, i’ve just stepped in some Bull-Palin.
