While bashing the New York Times for latching onto the story, he acknowledged that the Daily Caller first reported it and denounced it as an "anonymously sourced report," but he failed to note the Caller's conservative ideology.</p> <p>NewsBusters' Mark Finkelstein, meanwhile, <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2011/07/21/heilemann-bachmann-migraine-story-calculated-hit-piece-gop-rival-n" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sought to distract</a> from that inconvenient fact. Finkelstein conceded that "the story first appeared in the conservative Daily Caller," but he attacked John Heilemann for pointing out that the story was not the product of a "liberal media conspiracy." Finkelstein then declared that the story's origin doesn't matter: "And consider that even if the MSM didn't originate the story, liberal outlets like the New York Times have gleefully sought to exploit it to Bachmann's detriment."</p> <p>Such wholesale refusal to acknowledge, or insistence on distrcting from, such an obvious fact shows that the MRC is much more interested in being a right-wing political website than a "media research center." </p> <p> </p> http://gratewire.com/topic/why-libs-dont-like-palin-and-bachmann#post-66238 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:51:37 +0000 Checker 66238@http://gratewire.com/ <p>Maher....."That is some twisted shit'.......LMAO!</p> http://gratewire.com/topic/why-libs-dont-like-palin-and-bachmann#post-66175 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 13:49:43 +0000 Black Lion 66175@http://gratewire.com/ <p>Good points by Maher...These women are stupid and crazy...And you as a voter would have to be insane to vote them into any position of power...</p> http://gratewire.com/topic/why-libs-dont-like-palin-and-bachmann#post-66162 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:14:06 +0000 Beach Baby 66162@http://gratewire.com/ <p>I rewatched the video and watched all of Maher's guests as his dialogue was ongoing.  The body language is hysterical.  While in agreement, most of the men are twisting and pushing themselves forward in signs of discomfort. </p> <p>Nice to know that most men don't like to put a woman down in public - but we better wake up and become more like Bill or we are going to end up with one of the bat-shit crazy nutjob women in the office of the president.</p> http://gratewire.com/topic/why-libs-dont-like-palin-and-bachmann#post-66161 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:06:52 +0000 Beach Baby 66161@http://gratewire.com/ <p>Bill Maher is extremely astute.</p> http://gratewire.com/topic/why-libs-dont-like-palin-and-bachmann#post-66148 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 22:22:19 +0000 Black Butterfly 66148@http://gratewire.com/ <p>Leave it to Bill to be so straight forward and honest.......simply put....they are crazy.  I love his comment about Palin...."a bully who sells patriotism like a pimp" LOL </p> <p> </p> http://gratewire.com/topic/why-libs-dont-like-palin-and-bachmann#post-66147 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 22:16:48 +0000 Monkey Boy 66147@http://gratewire.com/ <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkKS5RrePyg&amp;feature=player_embedded" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkKS5RrePyg&amp;feature=player_embedded</a></p>
