Increase spending, raise taxes, increase government. Mock these barry jems and that equals racism to the loons on the left.

This Borowitz fellow has an interesting press release on the Wikipedia. Very interesting that the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was developed by a guy from Shaker Heights. And I yelled to the cabbie, “Yo, homes, smell you later”

What a bunch of cheez and whine coming from a group that I didn’t believe knew what channel(s) in their line-up PBS is.

And once Sacred Sarah stops making up words, then this segment would no longer be applicable. But until then: Suck It. If she’s such force, such Grizzly Mama, then why can’t she and her supporters develop some thicker skin instead of the whine and moan they default to.

Finally, RedEye is insanely stupid with teh stoopid segments all the time (NYTimes paper, anyone?) and you don’t see “lefties” whambulancing all over town over it. We just affirm how Not Funny the show is.

Three years of planning this garbage show really paid off. Nearly three years, according to Stephen Segaller, VP of content for WNET.org. Three years! The show has been in the planing phase for three years! Three year to decide on how to do a once a week half hour with some web content. Three years of meetings? Three years of paying salaries to executives and producers who were working on how, exactly, to put together something so incredibly complicated as a weekly half hour studio show with some web stuff? Three years of lunches? Three years of research trips? PBS should refudiate the incredible wasted resources squandered to put out a weekly campaign message that is informative and entertaining as a robocall.

GM: “Apparently some PBS watchers are also Sarah Palin supporters. Or at least Sarah Palin sympathizers.”

Wow. Do you have any idea what a snobby bitch that makes you seem?

Here’s one for you:

“Did you know that there are actually some liberals who are patriotic Americans?”

Yep, those Bots didn’t have a clue what the segment really was about. I’m convinced the cattle call went out.

Doubtful that Palin fans were even paying attention to PBS. Whose ever job it was to monitor the left wing commies became aware of the segment, got angry and the cattle call went out on Team Sarah and Conservatives for Palin websites. Happens all the time on liberal websites.

Cottle takes a refreshingly honest approach to Palin’s success, crediting it to Palin rather than luck, or worse, racism and paranoia, which is usually where her ideological opponents look for answers. Her conclusion makes this very clear:

At some point, even Palin haters may have to face the possibility that the p.r. genius is Sarah herself.

Make that a high probability. Even Chris Matthews acknowledged that implicitly when he said that the media would try to destroy her. If Palin wasn’t successful, they wouldn’t need to make it a project.

“It’s an unconventional media strategy, to be sure, and not without its drawbacks— namely, bitter party operatives. (“This means that you can’t plan anything!” says the strategist.) Yet it’s hard to deny that Palin’s p.r. approach has not only succeeded but succeeded brilliantly. How? The most obvious element at work here is that Palin operates not as a politician but as a celebrity. “Most politicians can’t get on the cover of People,” sighs another GOP campaign veteran. “She’s on the cover almost every week.” The rules are different for celebrities: Palin’s megawattage enables her to command attention for every word and gesture, even as she largely stiff-arms The New York Times and “Meet the Press.” Similarly, candidates desperate for her endorsement are unlikely to (publicly) whine about whatever attention she dribbles their way, no matter how arbitrary or last-minute.”

Iris and ChiliPeppersFan try to read for comprehension this time. For wackjob, hack deflectors this may be an “outreach too far ” but really try to read OK? This particular comment patch is about words and supposedly being smart, those who mock Palin, like the Dumbo POTUS Barry who is on video, Youtube saying that he has so far only been to 56 states and all of the rest of the media including PBS. ABC network National Radio News said BO was “playing” dumb, when of course, he is dumb. You know what you write when you have nothing to say? Iris and ChiliPeppers? Nothing. But neither of you could help yourselves and both proved that you are either “playing dumb” as ABC news says the President was doing, or you really are dumb, I take a flyer and go with the latter.

Moderate said: Words do hurt and being a comedian is no excuse.

True and the "comedian" excuse is just another lib dodge promoted by the likes of Joy Behar, et al. Except of course, unless the jokes are about Barry and then the comic is a racist.

This really is funny. I don’t remember anyone making fun of President Obama on PBS when he couldn’t read what it said on his TelePrompTer. Well, he could read it, but couldn’t pronounce it correctly when he read CORPSMAN and pronounced it CORPSEMAN. And that is a funnier word than Palins. Also the President didn’t even make up his word, he just abused it. Obama was characterized today on ABC National radio news as “playing dumb” when he said he didn’t know who Snooki was when asked by Maude Behar on The View, because ABC played the audio of Obamas punchline to a joke he told off of his TelePrompTer just 2 months ago, which mentioned “Snooki.” ABC was giving him the benefit of the doubt because the great, brilliant Obama, smartest president in the history of the Universe couldn’t actually be dumb, now could he? If he is dumb then the entire media will have to eat everything they have said about him and they aren’t about to do that…ever.

How about this:

Kuttner and Obama have something else in common – a close relationship to America’s largest Marxist based organization Democratic Socialists of America.

To quote D.S.A. connected “JournoLista” Joel Bleifuss;

In particular, Obama can be linked to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the Democratic Party-oriented organization that is a member of the Socialist International

Obama has been close to D.S.A., possibly back to the early 1980s.
