Impossible to say for sure but Ace makes a compelling case. Skip ahead to the last quarter of the video and you’ll find him exercised by the possibility that she thinks dinosaurs roamed the land 4,000 years ago:
Update: Seixon e-mails to point out another appearance of the 4,000-years smear — in Maureen Dowd’s last column.
CLINTON: I’ve got a little news flash for you, Annie Oakley. Dinosaurs disappeared a lot longer than 4,000 years ago. I admit you’ve had a profound influence on America, and I’m not just talking about all the women wearing up-dos and rimless titanium $375 Kazuo Kawasaki designer frames.
Anyone want to do a little Google sleuthing and see if they can track down which highly respected left-wing media source is pushing this? My money’s on dKos.

Ha… dinosaurs may still be here. No, that’s not a joke.
Maxx on September 11, 2008 at 6:52 PM
Little known fact about Matt Damon:
He’s spent millions having reproductions of everything he wants made at 5/6 scale and furnishes his homes with them so he can feel like a normal sized male.
MikeZero on September 11, 2008 at 6:52 PM
Yes, which isn’t very good math. He should’ve said 6,000 years ago (4000BC).

There is a reason Damon was a featured parody in Air America.

One day, he will realize how much dough he threw away for a con man when conservatives (the ones with the money to attend movies), stop buying tickets to his movies. I think he is done. When will these dopes learn to keep their mouths shut?

Matt Damon’s a fine actor, but he’s retarded (as is most of the Hollywood elite) when it comes to political issues.
For him to call out Palin, w/o looking at his own candidate’s lack of experience, is ridiculous.
nickj116 on September 11, 2008 at 7:05 PM
Love the pic! I can just see him saying, “Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh! Maaaaaatt Daaaaamon. MATT DAMON! MATT DAMON! MATT DAMON! MATT DAMON!”
What a tool. Wait, at least a tool is useful, unlike Doofus Damon. Way to propagate an idiotic email, dumbass!

Matt Damon reads cue cards in front of a camera for a living. ‘Nuff said.

The great thing about being a gay man is that I can objectively look at Pam Hepatitis Anderson, her fat, fake lips and her ridiculously distorted boobs and call her for what she is — a stupid slut.

Matt Damon! (Team America Version)
Weebork on September 11, 2008 at 7:05 PM
“I don’t think in 8 weeks I’m going to know anything about her”
That’s about how long it would take Matt Damon to read a HotAir post with bullet points about Sarah Palin (or am I giving him too much credit?)
thirteen28 on September 11, 2008 at 7:06 PM
I don’t think Damon actually graduated. So, like most celebrities, he has nothing but a high school education (many of them don’t even have that) and delusions of grandeur.
Infidoll on September 11, 2008 at 7:07 PM
Matt, we can’t have you.

Pamela Anderson: “she can suck it”……coming from somebody who has and had it paraded all over the internet….right….like asking a meth-head his thoughts on a bear market, who cares…

Gary Johnston: We’re dicks! We’re reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don’t like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn’t appropriate – and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves… because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don’t know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don’t let us fuck this asshole, we’re going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!

Wooly Mammoth BONES found, not fossils. Since they are not fossilized that means they are young.
Maxx on September 11, 2008 at 7:11 PM
Well there were really big mammoths and saber toothed tigers, but no dinosaurs. I think the drive by media is so hysterical that they don’t know fact from fiction anymore. And then you get this Damon twit … I probably ought to go get another drink about now.

I reckon Matt never had a chance to watch Jurasic Park. Hell, we can almost smell back to 2000BC.
I bet the folks slummin’ it in Mesopotamia were real happy when the T-Rexs stopped stomping around in the Hanging Gardens (the original bull in the china shop).
Hmmm…now that I think about it, I wonder if the ancient Chinese secret of really white laundry had something to do with Megalodon.
Matt, what do you think? Really. I’m interested.
BobMbx on September 11, 2008 at 7:15 PM
Dinosaur – T-Rex Soft Tissue and blood Found! Once again, has to be young, soft tissue can’t last long. Dinosaurs are not from millions of years ago.
Maxx on September 11, 2008 at 7:15 PM
MATT, YOU THE MAN! You’re a bit early but good job anyway. You’re new to this and probably excited so I can understand you jumping the gun. Just so you understand, when the vast-rightwing-conspiracy plans an October surprise it’s supposed to be in — well — October. But don’t fret, the early bird gets the worm, as they say. Anyway,Counter-intuitive propaganda tends to have a longer shelf-life than does the direct approach. By my last count 6 teenage girls are now paying attention and are firmly in the Obama camp, 6 wannabe Uber-spy teenage boys are also now Obamaites. This is for those who can only see the obvious. The brilliance of your move is that there are now at least 30,000 new McCain supporters who have reacted counter to your subtly counter-intuitive approach. Once this goes viral can you just imagine the number of people you will drive into the McCain camp. WAY TO GO! YOU THE MAN!

I mean, really, I need to know if he really thinks he can kill 8 ninjas with his bare hands. Really, I need to know this before I see another Matt Damon movie. I want to know that, I really do. It’s scary that this guy could win an Academy Award. It’s absurd. It’s totally absurd, it’s a really terrifying possibility. We can’t have that.

Maureen Dowd knows dynosaurs. They were still roaming the earth the last time she was considered relevent.
SuperCool on September 11, 2008 at 7:16 PM
Eh, what do you expect. Dowd was suckered in by Gloria Steinam and Betty Friedan decades ago and ended up an old spinster because of it. And she still thinks it’s all men’s fault.

Janeane Garofolo: As actors, it is our responsibility to read the newspapers, and then say what we read on television like it’s our own opinion.
Alec Baldwin: By following the rules of the Film Actor’s Guild, the world can become a better place; that handles dangerous people with talk, and reasoning; that, is the fag way. One day you’ll all look at the world us actors created and say, “Wow, good going, fag. You really made the world a better place, didntcha, fag?”
Sean Penn: Last year I went to Iraq. Before Team America showed up, it was a happy place. They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.
bryan2369 on September 11, 2008 at 7:21 PM
Nope, dead serious. Did you watch the video?
Maxx on September 11, 2008 at 7:21 PM
We are going to lose this one. A lot of normal people are starting to beleive the smears. They have the media, and the media will not let Obama lose.
BuckNutty on September 11, 2008 at 7:22 PM
Did you? The bogus voiceover isn’t even synced with the speakers’ lips. And why on Earth would Ron Reagan be talking about paleontology?

Dead on. As my dear departed mother used to say, “age is the great equalizer” Pam needs to realize her vavavavoom days are gone, and retire into seclusion with dignity instead of making a fool of herself trying to hold onto something artificially which gravity has decided she no longer possesses.

I missed the part where the age of the mummified dino was given. Did you happen to catch it?
Or, is it possible that you believe mummified remains indicate a short period of time, therefore this video provides proof of your belief?

I’ll pass on that one, ’cause now adays, a Ben Affleck screed comes with a side of Jennifer “Airhead” Garner.
I can already see it now:
Affleck: “This is insane! Mortifying! Wait, what else did Matty say? Terrifying!”
Garner: ***sniffles*** “Sometimes…when I think about Sarah Palin…I cry.” ***sniffles***
Affleck: “Do you hear THAT, Mr. O’Rielly!?! HUH!?! The woman makes my wife CRY!!! You heartless bastards!”
Kevin Smith: “I totally agree with everything Matt and Ben said. They’re the smartest people I know. I mean, like the other day, when I was pondering my dad trying to wrangle a three-way with my mom and my godmother, I was like “Holy crap! If Ben and Matt were around back then, maybe the old man would have had a shot!” and it was like, score!”
Affleck: “Ya hear that Rush!?! I could’ve helped Kev’s dad land a three-way!!!”
Garner: ***sniffles*** “You know…sometimes…I think about Kevin’s dad…never getting that three-way…and…I cry!”***sniffles***

bryan2369 on September 11, 2008 at 7:40 PM
Not so much this video, no age is given but the T-Rex video with the soft tissue makes it pretty clear that Dinos are not from millions of years ago. The other video with the BONES of Wooly Mammoths that are NOT fossils also clearly indicates, thousands of years maybe, but certainly NOT millions of years.
Maxx on September 11, 2008 at 7:44 PM
The problem for guys like Damon (and Leftards in general) is that they have absolutely no clue about what conservatives really believe or how they behave. This forces them to rely solely on the most cartoonish of stereotypes to anticipate conservative reactions, or to determine the veracity of information describing them. If I was certain that “conservative” meant people like Jethro Bodine or Elly Mae Clampett, I’d have no problem believing that Sarah Palin speaks in tongues and thinks dinosaurs became extinct because Noah wouldn’t let them on the ark.
Conservatives generally have a much more objective understanding of Lefties (dumb as we are). American Thinker had an excellent and insightful analysis on this phenomenon today. It’s well worth the read.

rplat on September 11, 2008 at 7:54 PM
The guy who wrote that about the dinosaurs was on CNN of all places saying it was a joke. He saw the bizarre stories about Palin and so he set up his version of a “Mad” magazine site and just wrote the craziest things he could think of and the next thing he know people were emailing him saying have you heard this about Palin. He took it down. He said that to him it was obviously just a spoof, but people took it and ran. The left is desperate to the Nth degree about Sarah Palin.

carbon_footprint on September 11, 2008 at 7:56 PM
I posted this on Confederate Yankee 3 days ago:
I became aware of this because idiot playwright Eve Ensler on HuffPo had some “information” in her column that didn’t sound quite right. It was something about Palin shooting 40 caribou at a time.
I googled around and found that MSNBC forum post, and one of the commenters there had a link to the original joke site.
Apparently the quotes were being emailed around, and the MSNBC post may have been the impetus for that. Because MSNBC is such a trusted source (rolling eyes).
