    Palin hung in effigy

    Story here.

    I agree, can you imagine what the liberal MSM like CNN or MSNBC would do if something like this was done with an Obama effigy? I can...

    Tacky
    Tasteless
    Probably worthy of a Secret Service visit.
    Posted yesterday by someone else.

    FWIW, the "double standard" of what would happen if it were an Obama effigy probably has more to do with the history of lynching in the US than anything else.

    I'd give 50% of the motivation to the history, but let's be honest and say that the other 50 % is mainstream media bias. It is just way too obvious not to point out.

    Who are we kidding folks? The majority of journalists are left leaning.

    That was my point. It has been done with Obama, and it wasn't pointed out by the MSM. (the only MSM outlet I could find with this story was USA Today)

    That post wasn't for you. I think you made a valid point.

    not to you personally Hube.

    or John Edwards 300$ haircuts which was a point of unassailable proof of JE's hypocrisy and fake populism/class badgering for personal gain...on this very board. somehow, in the "every thing is true that i agree with crowd" re: journalism and i'll t'row up some articles to "prove" it....that wasn't ever a diabolical, Pravda type MSM issue.

    but Palin's is?

    as hominem attacks on Edwards....in 3,2,1 (and missing the point altogether).

    I'll concede your point on the latter part. But when you say and see my name, think Hub. Like a hubcap.

    Re: Palin hung in effigy

    I would like 1 right now

    because frankly, people on both sides are acting lke complete retards

    no, retards are smarter then how people are acting, and this whole back and forth, well , the **** needs to stop

    [rant on] Yes, the MSM is biased. Anyone with 1/2 a brain should know this. Anyone with 1/2 a brain should no longer be paying any attention to 90% of what the MSM has to say or anything that hollywood has to stay.

    It's not okay to hang Pailin in effigy, nor is it okay to hang Obama, or McCain or Biden in effigy. To counter or try to justiy with some **** poor skinhead conspiracy or people dressed up in Gorilla suits is bull****. To call it "art" is bull****.

    To vote for someone solely because they're black, or a women, or white, is bull**** also.

    Regardless of who wins, people need to chill out so this country can address it's problems, instead of whining and bitching.[rant off]
