Palin Takes On AP - and Trumps Obama Again

i'll agree with that, i don't see how this had anything to do with Obamaum, isn't that about what you did in your first post in this thread?Classy post.
Anything to back that up? Or, are you taking a page out of Alinsky's Rules - ridicule rather than argue? Cause that's what it looks like to me.
Maybe a little. But I backed it up with some evidence, rather than just made claims, and ridiculed anyone who disagreed. Palin isn't stealing Obama's news cycle. The OP is factually incorrect.
but you DID do exactly what Dude was predicting

The Dude was predicting that someone who didn't like Palin would respond.
Is that really much of a prediction? This is a political message board, and at least half of the people here don't like Palin. The ridicule is straight out of Rules for Radicals.
Palin Takes On AP - and Trumps Obama Again
Palin trumped Obama because she is an unemployed housewife who has time to post on Facebook...Obama has a job.
You would be bitching that Obama was wasting time if he was sitting around updating his Facebook status throughout the day:
Barack Obama is going to call Gordon Brown. Gonna get an egg salad sandwich first...whole wheat bread. LOL.

Palin denounces AP over photo of dying Marine
By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist
Sarah Palin has added her voice to that of many Americans angry about The Associated Press' distribution of a photo of a dying Marine.
In a Facebook posting this week, the former governor of Alaska said:
Many of us join Secretary (Robert) Gates in condemning the Associated Press for its heartless and selfish decision to turn its back on the wishes of a grieving family in order to exploit the tragic death of a true American hero. Lance Corporal Joshua 'Bernie' Bernard was a selfless young American who sacrificed everything for our freedom. Shame on the AP for purposely adding to the grieving family's pain. Ignoring the family's wishes by publishing a sacred image of their loved one proved a despicable and heartless act by the AP. The family said they didn't want the photo published. AP, you did it anyway, and you know it was an evil thing to do.
It wasn't "evil"; it was responsible journalism.
Gates had lobbied the AP to not distribute the photo, taken after Bernard was injured in a firefight in Afghanistan but before he died.
He wrote: "Your lack of compassion and common sense in choosing to put this image of their maimed and stricken child on the front page of multiple American newspapers is appalling. The issue here is not law, policy or constitutional right -- but judgment and common decency."
But the AP didn't break any rules of judgment or decency in this case. The photographer, Julie Jacobson, was embedded with Bernard's squad.
Part of her job is to show that war can be hell. Her photo did just that.
Or as the AP put it, the picture showed "the grimness of war and the sacrifice of young men and women fighting it."
If photographers are going to show American service men and women bravely serving their country, they also regrettably are going to show young Americans dying for their country.
Readers of his column appear to have a different opinion...

The media used to have class and a soul. Since Watergate yellow journalism rules.
A picture of a naked rape victim would show what happened too, but would anyone have the lack of class to print one?

The press used to know when and what to publish. It is shameful. Yael, can you put yourself in the father's shoes for just a moment? Or are you too far gone for that?

Dumbass thread # 5980
Sarah who?
You know, the best way to show your disdain for threads like this are:
1. Don't post in them
or
2. just simply state the uselessness of the thread without arguing the point, and then don't post in them.

Classy post.
Anything to back that up? Or, are you taking a page out of Alinsky's Rules - ridicule rather than argue? Cause that's what it looks like to me.
Actually your initial response showed the very applicable indication of that post.
And all the while, the Palin statement is generating the news cycle buzz.
Maybe tomorrow's healtcare speech can get Obama back on the front page - though he may not care for the reaction to said speech...
First I've heard of it. Checked CNN.com, foxnews.com and Drudge and there is nothing there. How exactly is it generating news cycle buzz?

Tomorrow is a high stakes speech for Obama. If he lays down the gauntlet regarding a demand for a public option - he is going to face a very considerable backlash.
It will be interesting to see what he comes out with...

I'm with Palin and Obama on this one.
The press should defer to the wishes of the family on this one. The soldier wasn't nationally known and publishing his picture wasn't necessary

Well, if I'm part of the "bedwetter squad", you must be part of the "sucking Palin's dick" squad, because every other thread you start is about her.
you seem to be confused about gender specifics

I was not aware Obama spoke to this issue.
Could you please provide a link of that? - thank you.
