First they came for the pencils, but I said nothing...

*
Prior to Sarah Palin's Friday night address delivered at a Wisconsin Right To Life event, Alaska's Palin-hatin' lefty bloggers went all hysterical over the organizers' ban on cell phones and recording devices.

For example there was a attack of Mudflatulence from formerly anonymous blogger Jeanne Devon about it. Devon even included this nugget of hyperbole:
"I wouldn’t rule out the impending pat down and cavity search."
We wonder where was the outcry from this circle of jerks in Alaska when Al Gore was barring the media from his speeches, or at least portions of them?

But the Alaska Alinskians weren't the only ones to get their pantyhose in a twist over the organizers' restrictions. Wisconsin Democrat Party Chair Mike Tate had screeched:
“You know, for someone who claims to be a rogue and isn’t afraid of what other people think it really is sort of hypocritical to not let the media, the press cover your event,” he told Wisconsin Radio Network.
But the media were not banned. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Bill Glauber managed to write a comprehensive story covering former Governor Palin's speech, though he had to buy a ticket just like the other mere mortals who were in the audience. Glauber simply did his job just like real reporters used to, taking notes with pencil and paper, items which were not banned.

Liberal Democrats. When they're not distorting, they're outright lying.

  1. Ha! This reminds me of my children. You know, I'm homeschooling, and they don't like it that I make them write everything and I grade on handwriting! God help us if the economy collapses. People who can't even use a pencil will be the first to starve.

  2. Jonathan Martin of Politico lied.

    Jonathan Martin made stuff up, attributed his creation to Sarah, and criticized Sarah for being wrong to say it, except... Jonathan Martin made it up, just so he could criticize Sarah for saying it - which she didn't.

    Jonathan Martin of Politico had to make stuff up - lie - to create errors "by Sarah" to complain about.

    "In addition to the suggestion that government officials would consider hastening the death of the infirm or handicapped, she began her remarks with a puzzling commentary on the design of newly minted dollar coints.

    Noting that there had been a lot of “change” of late, Palin recalled a recent conversation with a friend about how the phrase “In God We Trust” had been moved to the edge of the new coins.

    “Who calls a shot like that?” she demanded. “Who makes a decision like that?”

    She added: “It’s a disturbing trend.”

    Unsaid but implied was that the new Democratic White House was behind such a move to secularize the nation’s currency.

    But the new coins – concerns over which apparently stemmed from an email chain letter widely circulated among conservatives – were commissioned by the Republican-led Congress in 2005 and approved by President Bush."


    Sarah's point was not partisan, and was not about Obama.

    Jonathan Martin made made that up: "Unsaid but implied was that the new Democratic White House was behind such a move to secularize the nation’s currency."

    Implied? - only in Jonathan Martin's addled and dishonest mind.

    I would not have read that implication in. It did not cross my mind when I read about Sarah's comments from an honest reporter - a blogger.

    Jonathan Martin, stop making stuff up.
    Politico, stop making stuff up.

  3. Devon and the fartist group have had little to write about, make up details about, or even openly complain about.

    Guess this is their allotment for the month.
