MSNBC Falsely Claims M. Obama 'Never' Said She Wasn't Proud of U.S.

*
NewsBuster Scott Whitlock catches media leftist Norah O'Donnell engaging in a bit of MSDNC mendacity. O'Donnell had the gall to insist that Michelle Obama "never said that she had not been proud of her country." The cable host's deception came on Friday while she was spinning for the First Lady while ostensibly reporting on a speech Sarah Palin delivered in California:

In fact, on February 18, 2008, Mrs. Obama addressed a crowd in Wisconsin and announced, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change." [See video. MP3 audio here.]

On Thursday, Palin wondered, "You know, when I hear people say or had said during the campaign, that they had never been proud of America until, until that time, I think haven't they met anybody in uniform yet?" This prompted O'Donnell, during a supposedly straight news report, to chide, "Of course, Mrs. Obama never said that. She never said that she had not been proud of her country."

Now, perhaps O'Donnell was trying to argue grammatical semantics over the words "really" or "adult lifetime." But, clearly, Obama was saying that she hadn't previously been proud of America.

Of course, Norah O'Donnell is the same person who berated then-17-year old Jackie Seal for her support of Palin.

There MSDNC goes again: Norah O'Donnell patronizes Palin Supporters

*
Via Newsbusters Senior Contributor Mark Finkelstein:

Norah O'Donnell just can't stop condescending to supporters of Sarah Palin. Appearing on Morning Joe today, the MSNBC correspondent rehashed a line she has used before: that fans of Sarah Palin are just too darn busy to know what's happening in the world. According to O'Donnell, Sarah supporters don't have "30 minutes to an hour to read the newspaper."

[...]

So Palin supporters are uninformed, Norah? Unlike those Obama voters, you mean? You know, the ones that a Howard Stern staffer interviewed? The folks who expressed support for Obama on the basis of his supposed positions which were in fact those of John McCain? The people who liked Obama when told he was: pro-life, opposed to stem cell research and had picked . . . Sarah Palin as his running mate? How much time do you figure those folks spend poring over the New York Times, Norah?

As we said here, with the unequalled degree of ignorance some Obama voters demonstrated, those who are dissing Palin supporters should really not want to go there.
