Debra Saunders: Media whore
Edited on Fri Nov-06-09 02:55 AM by WileEcoyote
Thus I refute Republican turd Debra Saunders:

OK kids what is today's lesson? Republicans can not develop CONTENT in their opinions. You can skip ahead to Saunders drivel (below) and come back to this analysis of mine but keep in mind this major fact:

No, Liberal (such as myself or anyone else) gives a flock about what Levi Johnston says about Sarah Palin. We've got a collapsing economic situation (which President Obama seems to have a good handle on) about to be righted, two failed wars, mass unemployment, scary global warming, mass species extinctions and all this woman wants to talk about is "how Liberals are using Levi Johnston to discredit Sarah Palin???

WTF????????

What planet do you live on biAtch?

We Libs are not frightened of Sarah Palin. All by herself she has discredited not only her own self, political career but the whole phucking GOP with it.

AND YOU WANT TO WASTE GOOD PAPER (San Francisco Chronicle Nov., 4, 2009) TO BLAME US (supposedly Liberal media outlets such as Vanity Fair and CNN) FOR USING LEVI JOHNSTON TO BLAST SARAH PALIN???


http://townhall.com/columnists/DebraJSaunders/2009/11/03/levi_johnston_stripped_bare>Debra J. Saunders : Levi Johnston Stripped Bare - Townhall.com

Be prepared to see more of Levi Johnston than you ever wanted to see. The 19-year-old who fathered a baby born out of wedlock to Sarah Palin's teenage daughter Bristol is about to pose nude for Playgirl magazine. Also, with Palin's book, "Going Rogue," set for release this month, some publications may follow Vanity Fair's example in October by granting the high-school dropout a byline.

In that piece, Johnston claimed that Palin did not nurture her children -- or cook or clean -- while husband Todd tinkered in the garage or slept on a black recliner in the living room.

This sort of Vanity Fair piece need not include verification by other sources, but there must be a paragraph with a seedy nugget in it. So Johnston wrote that the former Alaska governor sometimes called her Down syndrome son, Trig, "the retarded baby."

Appearing on CBS's "The Early Show" last week, Johnston released his latest salvo: "If I really wanted to hurt her, I could, very easily, but I'm not going to do it. I'm not going that far."

Not yet anyway. Johnston garners more ink in British than American newspapers. But he frequently is fodder for leftwing blogs and among pundits who concoct phrases like "Wasilla hillbilly" -- and cannot let go. He is the scratch for the itch of partisans so anxious to feel superior to Palin that they will consume any negative story about her, no matter how tainted. MSNBC talking heads like to bring up Levi Johnston.

Methinks if Fox News aired similar stories about a Democrat's daughter, there would be news stories questioning the right-leaning network's news judgment. After all, the accusations of an underemployed 19-year-old -- who has a career-incentive to dish out dirt on Palin -- are not exactly credible.

Or as "The Early Show's" Maggie Rodriguez wondered during an "exclusive" interview last week, "You really sound like somebody who's dead set on hurting these people the way they hurt you."

Rodriguez also asked, "Why should people believe you versus her?" To which Johnston replied, "I don't know." And: "I mean I was like family in that house." (All the more reason for Johnston to have kept his mouth zipped.)

Granted, Palin doesn't help her case when her spokesperson releases statements trashing the father of her grandson. Such as: "Consider the source of the most recent attention-getting lies -- those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention." This is one of those situations in which "No Comment" would have worked better.

Of course, Palin is outraged because Johnston is behaving like a classic heel. But he's a 19-year-old heel, who clearly is in over his head. No doubt Johnston will come to regret the Faustian choice he has made. TV producers and magazine biggies may woo Johnston in their zeal to discredit Palin. But he can give them what they want only by making things up or betraying confidences -- that is by making himself look like a world-class creep. In no time, they'll be trashing Johnston as a hick turncoat/opportunist.

During her interview, Rodriguez asked Johnston if he felt "used and discarded" by Palin. He did -- and he failed to note the irony.



But don't just take my word for it: Read the posts of any local Republican. They learn from these twisted schits like Saunders.

1. Deborah Saunders has been a paid classic media Whore for so long,
That is the only thing she knows how to do at this point.

I've avoided anything that she writes for like...forever...cause that's how long she's been irrelevant.

I hope the few remaining Conservatives in San Francisco keep buying the paper to read her. Keeps the paper afloat...

(cynicism oozing from every pore)

3. I don't have great respect for that paper.....
I live in the Bay Area, and it just isn't a paper I read anymore.
