As long as Palin is the topic of the day, the propagandists win
It means all the other topics are shoved aside, like health care, war, torture, bank crimes, the economy, employment and the general failure of our corrupted form of capitalism.

5. exposure strengthens it, gives it validity in the mainstream
which is all it seek to do, victory won. We may know it's lies, expose the lies but the more we do it, the more validity the original misinformation gains. It's the way propaganda works.

4. The M$M doing what it does best - looking out for their interests.
Andrea Mitchell gave us the nugget, "She talked about loving America", without mentioning Todd being a member of a secessionist party for six or seven years - and that Sarah spoke at one of their meetings and gave them high praise for their efforts.

They all report that these are just "angry regular folks" fed up with the deficit. Bullshit. I never heard a repuke mention the deficit during shrub's reign of terror. Bullshit. Once again, it is big rethug corporations fooling the stupid people into doing their bidding for them.

7. disagree....especially with all this Palin Palm snark going around the 'net
I’ve heard of speaking off the cuff, but….

Now we know why with Palin the gloves are always off.

No wonder Sarah Palin quit the governorship of Alaska, it was cold there and she had to wear gloves.

Ok, I have to ask. Is it allowed to put answers to "literacy test" on #telepalmer when voting?

Really, if you need notes to answer "what are your top 3 agenda items"...

8. I hope you aren't talking about DU.

Because that would be silly. If you mean the mainstream media, then you are probably right. They shove relevant topics aside all the time because Americans prefer having cheap shiny baubles dangled in front of them.
