Palin: Media threatening my First Amendment rights.

Palin: Media threatening my First Amendment rights.
During an interview with conservative radio host Chris Plante this morning, Sarah Palin said that because the media have described her criticism of Barack Obama’s associations with Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Right as negative campaigning, that “may constitute an attack that threatens a candidate’s free speech rights under the Constitution.” ABC News reports:
“If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations,” Palin told host Chris Plante, “then I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.”

October 31st, 2008 at 2:12 pmOH MY GOD!
Could someone PLEASE explain to Caribou Barbie what the First Amendment says and means?
What a freaking idiot.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:12 pmA Repuglican worried about the constitution… well, it always helps to start the day off with a laugh!
October 31st, 2008 at 2:13 pm5 short days and we can forget this bimbo and the national nightmare visited on us by the lunatic fringe.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:13 pmI can’t believe anyone considers her viable in any way. Can’t wait till we elect someone who knows the Constitution well enough to TEACH it in law school.
TP, please correct to “Jeremiah Wright.”
October 31st, 2008 at 2:17 pmI am SO glad that the Republicans have suddenly become defenders of the Constitutions. I am so regretful of my vote against them :sarcasm:

Re: First Amendment Rights
The term is “first amendment rights”, not “first family rights”. For help, see The Constitution of the United States. Look under “First Amendment”. And while you are there, check out the duties of the Vice President.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:18 pmOH, PUH-LEASE!!!!!
Jesus H. Christ. Give me a flarking break!!!
October 31st, 2008 at 2:19 pmI would like to exercize my first amendment rights:
“Lady, you are a moon bat”
October 31st, 2008 at 2:19 pmPalin proves again that she is a blithering idiot! The sad thing is lots of other idiots will listen to her and believe her argument!
October 31st, 2008 at 2:19 pmYou are right Sarah the Fraud - you have a Constitutional right to LIE to the American People.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:19 pmSo do they follow a completely different Constitution over there in Real America or what?

October 31st, 2008 at 2:21 pmI believe she wants the media to march with her in lockstep. Brownshirts?
October 31st, 2008 at 2:22 pmWhat gives nobody comes around to defend the “breast of fresh air” any more?
October 31st, 2008 at 2:22 pmWell, she’s been yammering on and on, day after day, so I think her rights are fairly safe.
I can’t wait for 11/4 — the screeching will be silenced.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:22 pmPalin should be beggin’ not to exercise her First Amendment rights. Every time she’s accurately quoted she looks like a bigger moron than the last time.
You can’t fix stupid.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:22 pmLet me get this straight… She wants to strengthen First Amendment rights by controlling the behavior of the press? Really?

I like Glenn Greewald’s UPDATE:
.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:31 pmImmediately after appearing on the Chris Plante show, Failin’ Palin went to a crowded theater and yelled “Fire!”.
Twenty people were trampled in the ensuing frenzy.
Unfortunately, Failin’ Palin was not among the fatalities.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:35 pmTo state the obvious: God she is stupid.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:36 pmThere are many who agree with everything she says. There are many who believe all the lies. This is why I will not breathe easily until the 4/11 vote count is made and she is gone shopping forever at the “Out of the Closet” thrift store or whatever its name is changed to. And I am not even American.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:36 pmThe Constitution guarantees her right to free speech. It also guarantees the other guys right to free speech. Be a good girl now and LIVE WITH IT.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:37 pmPerfect, she’s running to be a LIVP (Low-Information-Vice-President).

October 31st, 2008 at 2:37 pmHow Different Media Have Covered the General Election
MSNBC stood out for having less negative coverage of Obama than the press generally (14% of stories vs. 29% in the press overall) and for having more negative stories about McCain (73% of its coverage vs. 57% in the press overall).
These findings augment what was learned from a broader report on campaign media coverage released a week earlier entitled “Winning the Media Campaign: How the Press Reported the 2008 General Election.” That study found that in the media overall—a sample of 43 outlets studied in the six weeks following the conventions through the last debate—Barack Obama’s coverage was somewhat more positive than negative (36% vs. 29%), while John McCain’s, in contrast, was substantially negative (57% vs. 14% positive). The report concluded that this, in significant part, reflected and magnified the horse race and direction of the polls.
What Liberal Bias??????
October 31st, 2008 at 2:37 pmmoose lips sink ships …
October 31st, 2008 at 2:38 pmI have a couple of observations here.
One — Palin’s interpretation of the First Amendment appears to be that she has the right to say anything she wants (even if it’s not true), but nobody else has the right to criticize what she says.
Two — the media are correct in assessing her campaign style as “negative” (unless, of course, Palin’s assertion that Obama has been “palling around with terrorists” was meant in a positive way). They probably could have gone so far as to call it “slanderous” and still have been correct.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:39 pmSomebody slap a muzzle on her and give her something to really complain about.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:39 pmWhoa, imagine having to wake up next to that in the morning.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:39 pmDoes Palin understand that the First Amendment guarantees the right of free speech AND freedom of the press???
October 31st, 2008 at 2:40 pmSomebody needs to hand her the comic book primer on the Constitution they sometimes give to the school kids to teach them a few basics about the Bill of Rights. That way she can at least appear on “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader” after she loses next week without getting embarrassed as badly as she does every time she opens her mouth now.
October 31st, 2008 at 2:40 pmIf it will shut Republicans up, I’m for scrapping the whole thing.

On today’s edition of Cliff Notes For Sara, we will cover how the media is an institution (that is supposed to be) regulated by the FCC _ a segment of government_ and how government is the only threat to free speech.
What position is Sara running for? The number two spot in government.

October 31st, 2008 at 2:47 pmThe problem, stupid club-wielding troll, is that the gawdawful GOP campaign is so effed up that the media would have to lie in order to print/broadcast “positive” stories. There just isn’t any good news to tell about the train wreck that is the Chippy/Flippy ticket.

That’s the huge problem with Progressives. They would rather scrap the 1st amendment because it allows everyone’s opinion to be heard. Its not to enough to simply disagree, you what all debate shut down completely. And they wonder why we compare them to Nazi Germany.
And that’s the problem with “conservatives”: they generalize about an entire population based on one remark and they lie persistently in order to prop up ridiculous ideas.

Bullshit. Liberals are the consistent defenders of free expression. It’s conservatives who continue to attack free speech. We encourage debate. We just also know that you morons will continue make the same stupid, boneheaded arguments long after the debate ends and you’ve been proven wrong.

Bam…again…that critical thinking class I mentioned.
Ok, we have candidate A who is running a very negative campaign, who chose a very unqualified person as VP and who, on a daily basis, lies about his competition.
Then we have candidate B who is running a positive campaign, picked a super qualified VP and who does not lie about his opposition.
Now take the press. They are reporting on Candidate A (who is a negative candidate) and Candidate B (who is a positive candidate). They report what they see day after day. If they did not report on all the negativity of Candidate B and did nothing but smear Candidate B, you would have Faux Noise, the wholly owned and operated subsidiary of the RNC.
In reality Bam, the so-called “liberal” MSM has been quite good to McCain/Palin. Have they reported on all the flip-flops McCain has made on all major issues? Have they reported on Keating 5? Have they reported on Palin’s pastor? Have they reported on Palin’s cozy relationship to the AIP?
October 31st, 2008 at 2:59 pm“Palin: Media threatening my First Amendment rights.”

That is exactly right and the crux of the matter. I have noticed that many winguts seem to think the first amendment gives them the podium to say whatever they want but if you use YOUR first amendment right to criticise what they say all of a sudden in some way comprehensible only to the severly brainwashed it violates THEIR first amendment.

No she is not right, she is not anywhere NEAR right, she isnt in the same UNIVERSE as right. The only thing the first amendment gaurantees you is that you can say what you want on a streetcorner or a public park and NOT be arrested. No type of criticism from ANY SOURCE for what you have said can POSSIBLY be construed as infringing on your first amendment. No how, No way, NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Give me a break about Biden. He often says stupid things. Not as stupid as THIS little gem from Barbie Bimbo but pretty dumb. Get back to me when he has told HALF as many lies or made one TENTH of the slimy accusations this braindead moron Moosehunter has made. The press isnt attacking Palin and giving Biden a pass it is showing what an idiot Caribou bimbo is.

October 31st, 2008 at 4:00 pmDon’t feel bad EugeneDebs. I think we want the RaptureRetard to “see the light” and it did make more sense than anything else I’ve seen from him. Though I guess it could still be a case of name-jacking.
October 31st, 2008 at 4:06 pmAnd, speaking of retarded rapturites, did you guys catch the story about the fundies praying to a false idol on Wall Street?

October 31st, 2008 at 4:10 pmNegative campaigning? I call most of Palin’s diatribes lies. Dishonest, easily proven lies. She even lies about herself!

5 short days and we can forget this bimbo and the national nightmare visited on us by the lunatic fringe.
Unfortunately, I don’t think that we will see the last of her.
But hey, she wants to talk? I say: “Go right ahead.” But I have a hard time seeing how she is able to say anything with that foot perpetually in her mouth.
October 31st, 2008 at 4:24 pmwe haven’t seen the last of her. the only part of the GOP that’s got ANY mojo right now are the church-goin’ sons of guns and they LOVE HER! she’s one of them. more than W. was.
October 31st, 2008 at 4:31 pmI am SO sick of right wingers blasting the nozzle of “mainstream media” even as they suckle on it.
I mean, come on!
TWO DAYS after most people learned her NAME they knew her little baseball stats of what a hockeymomgunownerdownsmom she was. who told us all that stuff? the mainstream media!!
what a bunch of crybabies!!
one they bust her and Joe the Nimrod for they bowshit, they act like something’s happened to them. meanwhile they reap the rewards of being fast tracked to the tip of everybody’s tongues.
you don’t like the mainstream media? fine. go back to that hole they found you in.
October 31st, 2008 at 4:41 pmNOTE TO SARAH:
THE CONSTITUTION PREVENTS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FROM IMPINGING ON YOUR RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH. THE 1ST AMENDMENT DOES NOT PROHIBIT A PRIVATE CORPORATION FROM CENSORING YOUR SPEECH, NOR REACTING TO YOUR SPEECH.
Forgive the captials, but someone should really take her aside and tell her what the Constitution says and means.
To paraphrase Forrest Gump, ‘Mama says stupid is as stupid does. Sarah does stupid real well. And that’s all I have to say about that.’
October 31st, 2008 at 4:45 pmI’ve had my fill with RW eedjits that have not the slightest clue what the First Amendment says, much less how courts have resolved First Amendment jurisprudence. Feh.
Can we get such non-lawyers (you know, like McInsane and Palin?) to STFU about matters of law the know nothing about?
Cheers,

bye bye now, special lady
October 31st, 2008 at 4:53 pmWell she is good for a big belly laugh every now and again. I give her that.
October 31st, 2008 at 4:58 pm>Could someone PLEASE explain to Caribou
>Barbie what the First Amendment says and means?
Also, while you’re at it, explain to her that the only people who can violate a person’s consitutional rights (other than the 13th + 15th amendment) are government actors, NOT private media..
only in a seriously f#cked up country could a lady this stupid even get to take out the garbage for a vice presidential candidate of a major party..
October 31st, 2008 at 5:55 pmAwwww, now, y’all, quit picking on Fascist Barbie!
October 31st, 2008 at 6:27 pmShe’s so ignorant it’s painful.
October 31st, 2008 at 6:27 pmSimply put, the ESSENCE of the 1st Amendment is too proivde the FREEDOM TO EXPRESS WHATEVER VIEWPOINT YOU MAY HAVE and the FREEDOM TO HEAR EVERY REJOINDER MADE BY THE OTHER SHAREHOLDERS OF THIS ESSENTIAL FREEDOM.
Palin is so incredibly stupid that she cannot even fathom the irony of her remarks. You are free to say what you believe Sarah, and the popular rejection of your beliefs is not an assault of what YOU believe, it is the reaction of other’s that is equally protected under the same freedom you enjoy when posing stupid questions.
MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!
We need a landslide people…
sorry bout them caps also again you betcha!!!
October 31st, 2008 at 9:04 pmWait, the people’s rejection of Palin IS an assault on her asinine beliefs, but NOT by any stretch, an assault on her 1st Amendment Rights…
October 31st, 2008 at 9:06 pmPalin – we are still waiting for your medical records !!!
