If lefties had any integrity, they would be forced out of the coven.

Mitt Romney’s going to blow up the plane? That’s hilarious.

Maddow was ready to run full speed with the fake story until the call came from the producer telling her the truth. Saved by the bell?

Great quote from Hume… frames the incident perfectly.

Reminds me of the time candidate Clinton, before he became our president, had a tarmac haircut. The right wingers ran with that for WEEKS. Since the average person isn’t allowed to sit in a chair while being screened, there it some preferential treatment going on here.

If you’ve flown at all in the last decade, you know well that getting a TSA screening on a nice padded chair while keeping all of your clothes on and without having to wait in a line is much more a sign of elitism/disconnection from the common man than any shoe shine could ever be.

Classic…… Double down on stupid. Good job Salon.

Good for her to correct it. However, this is a good example of how much liberals want to smear the other side. Did no one stop to ask themselves, “Why would Romney be getting his shoes shined OUTSIDE ON THE TARMAC?”

Geez. Are you people serious with this stuff? Nothing on flip-flopping or Romneycare, instead you want to talk about fake shoe shines and how he travels with his dog. Unbelievable. 

Most people get molested in line with others – Romney gets to keep his clothes on and gets wanded right by his private jet. 

Kornacki should be banned  from  any future commenting.   MSNBC of all places is already a leftist organization which many regard as extremely biased.  

Once Pat Buchanan left this “news station????”, all credibility has been lost.

Stick to the salon, Salon. 

Huffington Enquirer headline:

“Suspected Shoe Bomber Romney Searched at Airport !”

Thank you for pointing out that we live in a class society and not socialistic. Do you think Obama waits in line like the rest of us? But thanks for piointing out the obvious and in no way addressing the lie Salon pimped.

Moved.

Good one.

Rachel Maddow should have permanent three minute slot on her show reserved for apologies and corrections.

It was too good to question.

One flaw. He actually got the haircut. Mitt did not get a shoe shine. See the difference? Or do you need more help understanding the difference.

Obama is currently president while Romney isn’t. So you believe that a class society where the gulf between the have and have nots is increasing bhy the day is a good thing?

he is obviously getting his shoe shined…you teabaggers are just scowering to make lies and cover it up…we know how you work…wait till election time and see how it pays off.

I have no problem with the rich being rich in a capitalist society. You think Obama waited in line before winning the white house? Really? And in your theory shouldn’t he wait in line like the ret of us? Why would his job make him better if you believe we should all be equal?

Obama’s personal net-worth has increased to $7.3M in 2011.  Almost every single penny of that has been made while Obama has worked in the PUBLIC sector.  Millions of Americans have lost their homes during Obama’s tenure, and yet he’s making money hand over fist.

Why does Barack Obama hate poor people?

Why does Barack Obama continue to file his taxes using the “Bush Tax Cut” rate?

If Barack Obama really liked poor people, he’d pay the tax rates he wants everyone else to pay.

Envy 2012!

Even if it were a shoe shine why is that so bad? Politics has become so phony. Rich people are supposed to put on jeans and act poor. Businessmen routinely get their shoes shined. Why would that be something Mitt would have to apologize for. Mitt is a multi-millionaire. He should act like it. He earned that money. He will win the nomination because he knows how to make money. He should be proud of the money he’s made. It’s only Commie Pinko pigs like the president and his horrible cronies who believe in redistribution of wealth. 

Anyone who would not vote for Mitt Romney because he got his shoes shined on a tarmac is a freaking idiot who has no business voting anyway. 

Have you ever shined a shoe, boris? Explain then, if it is so obvious, what purpose does the device in the guy in the red jacket’s right hand provide in the process?

So it was merely unconsciously malicious.  Great.

Gold star for  pareidolia, though.

THERE YOU GO AGAIN… Have you ever shined a shoe, boris? Explain then, if it is so obvious,
what purpose does the device in the guy in the red jacket’s right hand
provide in the process?

 6.5.4.3 seconds until  Obama’s face is Photoshopped onto the shoe shine boy….

More LIBERAL LIES from the LIBERAL MEDIA.
When are these people going to evolve?

Support evolution, and purge Democrats from the seats of power this election; if not for the country, then for advancement of the human condition!

This plutocrat has no idea of what he is in for.

Want another LIE from the Liberal media?

Gallup just came out with a national poll showing only 2% rank disparity between rich and poor as a concern.

So the next time the Media/Democrat Party-created and promoted OWS freeloaders claim they represent 99%…say no, that would be 2% you represent!

BEWARE the LYING mainstream, Democratic Party-affiliated media.

But at least he shows his tax returns. Why doesn’t Romney?

But this is what’s left of a capitalist society. Sadly becoming an oligarchy.

 Romney and his crew would jump at the moment to mischaracterize Obama in the exact same way as he has in every speech he has given.

On Mickey Kaus’s old kausfiles.com he used to have a link to Salon describing it as “not always terrible.” Joan Walsh she’s as left-wing as they come for a mainstream journalist.

Yes, unlike the clowns at FoxNews who spread their misinformation and lies and never correct them.

“There exists the one that is pretending to be rich and yet he has nothing at all: there is the one that is pretending to be of little means and yet he has many valuable things” Proverbs 13:7

Good point.  We have far more important things to worry about than this bull crap.

How about the unprecedented, unconstitutoinal appointment of the new director of the CFPB – this sets terrifying precedent.  Imagine the types of loons that people like George W. Bush would have appointed during a unilaterally labelled ”fake recess.” 

How about the unconsitutional, illegal wars in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and coming soon to a theater near you, Iran?

How about the fact that we are borrowing billions of dollars a day to fund programs that are clearly failing – how can you, on the one hand, cry about economic disparity, and then defend those government programs like Medicare, Medicade, and Obamacare, which only add to that disparity?  Can you not see that this spending money is NOT WORKING?

How about the underreported, terrifying rate of inflation we are currently experiencing – have you seen gas, milk, and bread prices lately?

How about the Patriot Act?  Do you like warrentless wiretaps and detentions of suspected terrorists without probable cause?  You know, suspending habeus corpus used to be illegal – now it is par for the course.

How about government corporatism, where the government gets to decide which businesses are important to the economy, and which aren’t?

You can go on and on and on – but clearly, each party has failed us miserably, and if you think Obama has done nothing but continue Bush’s failed policies, you are lying to yourself.  Guantonimo Bay, Afghanistan, bailouts, the Obama era tax cuts to the rich, the extention of the Patriot Act, war drumming for Iran.  And here we are – OUTRAGED becasue Mitt Romney may have gotten a shoe shine.

Oh my GOD!!!!   A SHOESHINE!!!!!!!!  Lets string him up, and call it a day. 

Romney is smart enough to have his shoes shined by his black butler behind closed doors.

Obama is making royalties from his book and according to this.  He made 1.7 in 2010.  
Also- Bush and Cheney made more money than their salaries while in office.  You can check it out here as well.  All three of these guys have business investments and other income while still being able to serve the country.

That photo brings back some fond memories of things in a saner….less violent time.
Things were as they should have been and should still  be.

Why isn’t Mediaite reporting on the bigger blooper on MSNBC last night?  Chris Matthews made a complete joke of himself.  He was trying to defend Obama’s record (yawn) on the number of federal workers added to the role.  Well, hilarity ensues.  Read all about it NewsBusters.  Since it happened last night and Mediaite has yet to report it, I imagine Mediaite has their best brains trying to figure a way to spin this positively for Chris – but can’t.

Matthews Preposterously Claims Obama Added ‘Only 13 People’ to Federal Workforce [UPDATED: Matthews Re-Records Audio]

You’re probably nine hours too late.

Stylin – Fix News,
I’m certain that you will see all of the data from Romney when it is required.  Of course, Obama will present his legal birth certificate, college records, etc.  Obama, who vetted you when you became President of the United States?  You have access to high security information.   Hmmm.
Delores Smith
Delores109@cox.net

All the college transcripts, etc…  that’s old hat. You guys need something new.

Stylin – Fix News,
OK,  I’ll work on trying to find something new.  I have a stack of new information as high as the Health Bill.  It will be easy.  Piece of cake.

Frankly, 
     If a man is holding a job at an airport, shoeshining, what is the problem?

It should be a job for boys-under the age of 18…Not just black ones, either. Its a job. 

Too many people on this forum are racist class baiters.

If Romney was getting a shine, I bet he would be a great tipper.

Only a mentally retarded individual, or in fact an imbecile would believe that Maddow and Salon were not initially aware that the photo was an airport security screening, and NOT a “Shoe Shine”; but since they understand how powerful the media is and how viral the matter could get, it was very convenient and clever for them to make the insinuations and later do a retraction after the damage has been done as it was intended. The left-wing media seems to now be run like an organized crime in a bid to get Obama re-elected at any cost, even if it means at the cost of their integrity(assuming they had any).

First the so called “journalists” lunch the insinuation attacks and portray it as a “mistake”, then do a retraction, before passing the baton to the next team: “the comedians”. Then the likes of Jon Stewart, Bill Maher,Stephen Colbert, SNL, David Letterman, all carry on from there until the ignorant American public have been well fed with the misinformation and take them as facts.

I’m not a Romney supporter by any means,and I NEVER will be; but however it is indeed sad to note that journalism in America has now become an “expensive joke”. I’d like someone to give me the name of a real ‘Journalist’ on MSNBC. Maddow makes the so called Rhodes Scholarship a satire, especially if you watch her show which has become a comedy rather than news commentary.

It is quite convenient to offer apologies or retractions for intended errors, especially when you are part of the left-wing media organized crime.

What call?

I know you as a reasonable reader on this website, but I can’t believe you actually bought into that excuse of Maddow and Salon not knowing it was NOT a “Shoe Shine” and rather an airport security screening. How many wealthy individuals, government officials, celebrities or business executives have you seen or heard of having a shoe shine at an airport ramp??

Does this mean you will approve of that, if it happens to Obama?

Does that matter? If Obama still hasn’t produced the transcript, what does the “age” of the criticism matter?

Example?

http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/06/responding-to-politifact-stewart-reads-laundry-list-of-fox-news-lies/

Many of those are opinions, and presented as such. There seems to be some confusion of whether or not information presented is “fact” or “opinion.”

Furthermore, there is no information on what was or wasn’t correct… only what PolitiFact (which was recently attacked by the left, as being unreliable) said was “wrong.”

I think it would be helpful to pick one or two specific issues, and see if they were actually corrected or not.

But by the same token, you can search PolitFact for criticism of MSNBC hosts, and find the same results as you have for FNC hosts.

I thought Fox and Friends were from the right.

Has anyone ever seen someone on Fox make corrections like Maddow does? The way she just simply says, “Look here. We got this wrong, and here’s the correction.” Without a bevy of excuses. The lady has class I’ve never seen from the likes of O’Reilly and company. If you have an example, I’d love to see it.

Asskissers 2012 – the broke that are happy to be pawns!

LOL look – a brainwashed minion prole! Hilarious, so 1885!

If Richard corrected all of his mistakes he would spend the whole show correcting his mistakes.

Okay, so Mitt Romney gets to sit down in a comfortable chair while he is scanned by the TSA.  Yep, he’s just like the rest of us.

I’m amazed that people still question his birth… Imagine the CIA, FBI, Secret Service would all be in on the gag…. that’s hilarious.

All I know is that the man is on at 10pm. Bill Maher!

Everybody is missing a huge point here. The article states that “Romney isn’t actually getting a shoe shine but being wanded for security purposes before boarding a charter flight”. Look it up CHARTER..Merriam-Webster defines this as “a special privilege, immunity, or exemption”. If this is a CHARTER FLIGHT on a PRIVATE JET, why is TSA involved? If we go by the article, I tend to believe that he is not being wanded to board a private jet. Sometimes you have to look at the facts as they are presented and not look at GOTP vs. DEM.

This who thing about Mitt Romney and his dog shows the lack of intellegence in the media. I am an animal lover. I have three dogs that I rescued from the shelters and I will admit  I have made some mistakes in their care however nothing that has endangered their lives. I believe that Mitt Romney felt the same way abouth the care of his dog.
Horses are transported in trailers for hundreds of miles. Animals are transported in airplanes which I tend to believe is not the most humane. Humans make mistake in the care of their animals.
Ms. Rachel Maddow needs to look elseware for smear stories on Replucian candidates. The story she reported shows poor journalism on many levels..

the TSA agent in the picture isn’t even black. 

If he wins the nomination I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to hand over his tax returns, Until such time, its not necessary to hand them over yet.  I know I don’t need to see them. 

oh good grief, not the birth certificate nonsense.

The haircut nonsense was so stupid. 

ROFL!!

I don’t when I’ve had more fun.  Reading a ridiculous article about a fake news story or the seriously funny commentary under the article.  You people are nuts. lol 

 Rachel, I love you girl, but you really need to be on top of your people better. 

Wendilynn Kerezman,
It is your right to give up and not be bothered with a President like Obama Hitlering America, just as it my right to charge and convict him of many ACTS OF TREASON.  Have a great day!

Cody Hill,
Let’s talk about Bill Clinton AFTER he became President.   Clinton ordered Pizza, sat down, and got some preferential treatment.  Compare the two.  Clinton was talking to someone in Congress at the time.  Thank God for blue dresses.

Of course he doesn’t need to but why doesn’t he since he says he benefited  from American Capitalism. One would think he’d be proud to show everyone how well it works.

No, but I responding to those who were implying that Obama’s face would be photo shopped in for the man…Presumably, because whenever a shoe shine man/boy is depicted in a movie, its usually a black man, or a black boy. Hence, my comment, that shoe-shining would be a decent job for boys, and not just black ones…There isn’t anything dishonorable about that work.

What is dishonorable, is portraying Romney as receiving a shoe shine, when its obvious he wasn’t. 

The elites don’t have to go through TSA like the common people. The humiliating experience of being groped just isn’t part of the experience for the powers that be.

That is a good example of where our resources are going – right into that jet, that suit, that haircut … all subsidized by his influence over the tax rates for the very wealthy. What a douche.

She  would need about 20 seconds, every 20 shows. She doesn’t get much wrong. Occasionally her guests do, though.

Why isn’t his security check happening in the terminal, like anybody else? Priviledge, perhaps?

How many people get their security check on the tarmac, and not in the terminal. I suppose you’d have to have a private jet for that………….

I disagree, I think their credibility had no where to go but up when Buchanan was forced out.

Well small airports in rural communities do, and flights that have to do with small size aircrafts, and not necessarily private jets. Commercial airlines own and run lots of them.
