Wow..

Didn't even realize this was a Palinism. I know the "You betcha" thing but thats about it.

To be fair to Palin, she often seemed overwhelmed by the media attention. I don't necessarily think she should be blamed for misspeaking in such situations. However, that sort of thing does kind of make her unfit for political office. If one gets frazzled in the face of some librul media elite, how would she ever be able to deal with Vladimir Putin?

She'd fall prey to his eastern charms. First intergovernment executive banging.

Hmm... I'm not so sure of that

"Gotcha journalism" was the phrase Palin used.

That's been around pre-Palin as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotcha_journalism

An early citation indicated that "gotcha journalism" was used by Stuart K. Spencer in the Los Angeles Times in 1987.[5] The full story is given in the book Stick It Up Your Punter by Chris Horrie. The headline was also used in a 1994 movie about the newspaper business, The Paper, which was based in part on Horrie's book[citation needed].

Former Vice President of the United States Dan Quayle reportedly referred to "gotcha journalism" in 1999 during an interview with talk-show host David Letterman.

During the 2004 U.S. presidential election, Wall Street Journal columnist Gordon Crovitz suggested that the term "gotcha journalism" was used heavily by Republican campaign managers to diminish the credibility of journalists interviewing about the Iraq war.[6]

I prefer the hypocrites. At least they are pragmatic and are open to compromise with the proper incentives. The Ron Pauls of the world are happy to ride the nuke as it falls.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaa It's the fluoridation. Gotta stop the fluoridation.

I said... that's the phrase Palin used... not invented. But feel free to engage in imaginary arguments.

That seems to be a popular thing around these parts lately.

Definitely not the first

It's not about conservatives, it's about the modern GOP party. If you think the literally hundreds of racist, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist and just plain stupid comments that have come from GOP members over the last couple of years don't tarnish the party in any way, then you're dreaming. I long for the moderates to retake the party of Lincoln, but until they do the ****wit bigots currently running the show deserve all the condemnation they get.

Exactly.

You'd think bots would get better over time but really RoboCon was the best bot I've seen for forum interactions.
