Skip ahead to 1:00 and then 2:00 if you can’t stomach the whole clip. The images of her in the black miniskirt and the American-flag bikini started floating around the ‘Net mere days after she joined the ticket last year and were debunked almost immediately, which means either (a) MSNBC knowingly chose to air doctored images to smear her or (b) “The Place for Politics” can’t recognize a notorious 12-month-old photoshop of last year’s VP nominee when it sees one. Given the intense scrutiny of the media’s reporting on her by conservatives, you’d think mainstream lefty news outfits would refrain from obvious smear jobs that’ll be exposed instantly in favor of more subtle misreporting that might slip through the cracks. Not so. But then, this is a guy who told his audience last month that Republicans wouldn’t mind seeing half the country die in order to take down Obama. Good work all around, guys. Nothing says “progressive” like a prominent woman politician photoshopped into various states of undress.
It’s not only lefties who are coming after her today. Check this out. Someone sounds jealous…

I sent this to FreedomWorks:
Dick really f’ed up on TV going after Sarah Palin. Almost every Tea Partier I have encountered thinks very highly of Sarah Palin. She has been working hard since the election and Dick’s dumbass comments hurt the movement not help it.
Quit breaking Reagan’s 11th Commandment.
Without her endorsement in NY-23, Hoffman would finished third in that race and we never would have won the battle to force Dede out of the race thereby successfully sending a message to the GOP in NY and DC to not push leftist candidates on us.
Get a clue!
You play right into the statists hands when you insult or ridicule others on OUR SIDE.
I was starting to think FreedomWorks might be an organization to latch onto, but now I find out it is simply a vehicle for Dick to push his insider agenda and probably to back Pawlenty or someother moderate to liberal squish in the GOP primary for 2012.
We have enough problems with Obama and the Dems trying to turn this country into Venezuela and you people decide to declare war on the ONE bright person who honestly and ferociously fights the statists at the national level while ALL the other possible POTUS candidates disgrace themselves by not standing up for libertarian and conservative values.
Dick, what the hell were you thinking?
Sapwolf on November 13, 2009 at 5:19 PM
This is an example why John Ziegler believes Sarah Palin should not run for POTUS in 2012.
This is just a small example of what is going to happen over the next three years.
If I did not believe so strongly in a Palin presidency I would advise her to step aside. Nobody deserves to be treated like this, except maybe Obama and his merry men and women.
technopeasant on November 13, 2009 at 5:20 PM
Yeah, but this is overkill. People are already tired of it and seeing through it, trust me.
ddrintn on November 13, 2009 at 5:23 PM
Even faked photos of Palin look better than real ones of Obama.
And, unlike Barack, she is not a traitorous lunatic trying to undermine American security by bringing self-confessed military war criminals / terrorists into the U.S. civilian court system and allow them to drain our national treasure by enabling their Stealth Jihad crypto-legalistic tactics.
I wish on Obama a Muslim-outreach pilot for Air Force One after this act of UTTER MADNESS.
profitsbeard on November 13, 2009 at 5:23 PM
Astonishingly distasteful: This type of conduct is likely to induce the movement to the right of more well meaning and reasonable people.
GaltBlvnAtty on November 13, 2009 at 5:25 PM
Armey may think Sarah as more of a cheerleader than a captain, and that’s fine. Because after 4 years of this doofus, America is really going to need someone to lift their spirits, and Sarah is perfect for that. Oh, and BTW, captains sometimes are the cheerleaders!
ConservativePartyNow on November 13, 2009 at 5:25 PM
Yep.
ddrintn on November 13, 2009 at 5:26 PM
This is dangerously close to making sense. Don’t go changin’ to try and please me!
ncborn on November 13, 2009 at 5:28 PM
Earlier today, I went to Kinko’s with my jumpdrive that had two photos of Sarah and Trigg.
I ordered 2 posters of two different pics:
#1
#2
What was interesting was the tone and body language of the young woman assisting me with the order.
I sensed she was very uncomfortable working with me and I suspect it was because the photos were of Sarah and Trigg.
I did my best to be polite and not put her on the spot, but I suspect her beliefs of Sarah are what the MSM portrayed in their vicious attacks in 2008.
She is probably one of the 40% of voters who would vote for Obama again, or a voter you shouldn’t waste all your money and time to persuade, but it was interesting.
Another woman there I suspect sensed her coworkers minor discomfort.
It was a fascinating encounter.
Sapwolf on November 13, 2009 at 5:29 PM
The fact that she gets more face time than those two lovely ladies should be evidence, even for AP, that there is a GOD.
Lily on November 13, 2009 at 5:29 PM
Beautiful, intelligent and rock-solid conservative, no wonder the MSNBC libs and their brethren are terrified of Sarah Palin.
As for Dick Armey’s attack on her? RINOs like Dick ( David Brooks, David Frum included ) only grow a backbone when it’s time to attack conservatives. Meanwhile the average liberal only have to whisper “racist” and they bolt for the tall grass.
Dick Armey’s underhanded attack explains why he is now the former House majority leader.
Good luck with your “grassroots movement” FreedomWorks DICK!
RMR on November 13, 2009 at 5:33 PM
MSNBC isn’t even pretending to be neutral anymore.
Speedwagon82 on November 13, 2009 at 5:35 PM
It’s like shooting fake fish in a barrel. Surely Palin is enough of a laughingstock in her own right that they don’t need to fabricate the evidence.
hicsuget on November 13, 2009 at 5:35 PM
This was not that bad for MSNBC. At least they weren’t seething and quoting Time magazine. They didn’t even mention Beck or Fox!
IlikedAUH2O on November 13, 2009 at 5:37 PM
Aside from that, they have skanks like Garafalo…gag

cool short rock video
deedtrader on November 13, 2009 at 5:38 PM
This is further show of what the Left holds as values:
Faked pics to make a point, then calling them ‘accurate’ despite the falsity even they acknowledge.
Then using ‘values’ they don’t believe in to slander their opposition, all the time believing they hold some mythical moral high ground that is based on nothing more than their own opinions.
It’s all a game to them, always a ploy on their part.
Liam on November 13, 2009 at 5:39 PM
These bozo’s are desperate for viewers and revenue. Its obvious these boobs are really trying to appeal to the ladies going after that Oprah demagraphic. Ha Ha Sarah is just warming up and if she is smart which she is she will play this popularity like a rock band that churns out hit after hit. That is something O Blah Blah thought he was doing but he already is soooo 2008! LMFAO

Sign of the truth
I saw a bumper sticker at a DC airport yesterday. It read: “Reality Has A Liberal Bias”. The car had a (AP?) press pass on the mirror in the front.
IlikedAUH2O on November 13, 2009 at 5:42 PM
Ah, but they did! No changing that now.
Liam on November 13, 2009 at 5:43 PM
Dick Army is another ossified male mollusk resurrected from strata of the yesteryear. He cries out on cue as if his defiance will someone reverse his imminent extinction; but alas, he is destined to take up residence with the Flotsam and jetsam and become part of the primordial political slime.
Join us or Die.

Doorgunner on November 13, 2009 at 5:45 PM
Fake yet accurate?
Del Dolemonte on November 13, 2009 at 5:46 PM
Think Jon Stewart will mention this for his trained seals the way he did Fox’s edited coverage of that rally a few days ago? Yeah, me neither.
clearbluesky on November 13, 2009 at 5:46 PM
beer
Fixed.
Del Dolemonte on November 13, 2009 at 5:50 PM
Do you really think that’s not their intention? When were you born?
suzeecue on November 13, 2009 at 5:51 PM
Yet you college kids regularly created posters showing Bush as Hitler, and had absolutely no problems doing so. Sounds like a double standard to me.
Del Dolemonte on November 13, 2009 at 5:53 PM
Channeling Jon Stewart, channeling Jon Stewart . . .
mwbri on November 13, 2009 at 5:53 PM
MSNBC
More sexist news broadcasts coming
The Race Card on November 13, 2009 at 5:55 PM
Fox isn’t much better. Last night, Brett ran a picture of the parody book Going Rouge while discussing Palin’s book.
Supposedly, he will issue a correction tonight. We shall see.
Anyone notice how Obama flees the country after the KSM trial info is released? Chickenshit.
lonestar1 on November 13, 2009 at 6:03 PM
Holy cow.
Imagine if Sean Hannity ran some photoshops of Michelle Obama in a bikini.
The sexism of these attacks is breathtaking.
rockmom on November 13, 2009 at 6:04 PM
Fox News and MSNBC are the same but different. Neither is needed. Both are a cancer on this country.
Decider on November 13, 2009 at 6:10 PM
MSNBC is my favorite rumor-mill.
Unfortunately you’re right. There would be endless claims of sexism against Hannity for doing something like that. There would also be enough vicious, sexist banter in the thread to fill a Truly Tasteless Jokes volume.
Either way, suppositions like this are useless for discourse as they rely on imagination and emotion rather than logical analysis of the facts at hand.
The Race Card on November 13, 2009 at 6:18 PM
F_ck Dick Armey! He’s a piss ant. Palin would crush that little cry baby! F_ck him.
WordsMatter on November 13, 2009 at 6:19 PM
Hyperbole is a Cancer upon rational discourse.

Only one thing to say about Althouse: Fat chicks really hate Palin. Go figure…
joedoe on November 13, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Exactly!!
Will be holding my breath for the Jon Stewart show to expose yet another misogynistic smear of a Conservative woman.
Baxter Greene on November 13, 2009 at 7:00 PM
You mean Hillary Clinton,Barack Obama,and Joe Biden who all quit for personal gain.
Baxter Greene on November 13, 2009 at 7:02 PM
This is a joke right.
For one thing, you have no idea what people are “thinking” when looking at the Obama Joker face.
The fact you see “evil” does not mean everybody else does.
But the fact a liberal would even whine about that after the 8 years of hateful bigotry directed at Bush/Cheney/Rice
and many other Conservatives shows just how much of an idiot you are and how little credibility you have discussing this issue.
Come to think of it, that is one consistent trait bleeds blue shows on this blog, proving how ignorant and in the tank for Obama she is every time she posts.
Baxter Greene on November 13, 2009 at 7:09 PM
Are you related to POPTECH? Are you POPTECH?
Americannodash on November 13, 2009 at 7:10 PM
MSNBC contradicted your dumbass statement even before you made it. If there was no need to fabricate the evidence, there wouldn’t have been any more use of the fake bikini pic. Or Tina Fey caricatures, for that matter.
ddrintn on November 13, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Not unless there’s been a flurry of resumes.
ddrintn on November 13, 2009 at 7:28 PM
Ah yes. The photo-shoped picture of Sarah Palin holding a scoped beebee gun in a bikini. I have to say, it was hilarious seeing comments from liberals who didn’t know a rifle from their own rear-end talking about her holding a “high powered sniper rifle”. That went along with the tut-tuts from her carrying a side-by-side shotgun over her shoulder with the breech open. “Couldn’t you shoot your foot off doing that?” Please liberals, before you start talking about firearms safety, would you please educate yourselves first?
…You put the clip in the revolver and slide the bolt home. Waiting for MadisonConservative to go ballistic in 3…2…1…
Rightwingguy on November 13, 2009 at 7:30 PM
I await his searing commentary with baited breath……(/s)
Rightwingguy on November 13, 2009 at 7:32 PM
All that and they’ll be getting a bailout this time next year.
Griz on November 13, 2009 at 7:35 PM
I’m not clicking on anything MSNBC or any other Hatefilled Left site. I’m going to vote for Palin if she runs and I’m going to vote for anyone Palin tells me to vote for. I don’t care what the Hatefillled Left says or does in regards to Palin because I intend to ignore their BS.
Allah how about some balance and you post her two or three actually excellent Facebook posts?
CCRWM on November 13, 2009 at 9:03 PM
10. Hey show a little reverence! Afterall, MSNBC is a REAL news organization…
9. Thank god it wasn’t Pelosi in the bikini…
8. Palin brought this on herself, after all she’s hot!
7. Don’t tell me Dick Armey wouldn’t hit that cheerleader!
6. I would pay good money to see what happens if he tried.
5. Levi Johnson is definatly going to Thanksgiving dinner at Sarah’s, he’s the main course for the sled dogs.
4. Michelle Obama wouldn’t fit in a bikini. Don’t make me laugh. That much material is called a tent.
3. Harry Reid better hope that bikini doesn’t move to Nevada.
2. It’s no wonder the left is terrified of the book, they’ve spent six months afraid of a facebook page.
1. Sarah, Mary Catherine Ham, Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter could run in any state and win, with or without bikinis.
And I for one wish to god they’de run!

Democrats always lie.
Democrats ALWAYS LIE.
Every day.
We’re only highlighting the really big ones, and we’re overloaded trying to keep up.
Merovign on November 14, 2009 at 12:02 AM
The left is unreasonable, not to mention illogical.
Johan Klaus on November 14, 2009 at 2:24 AM
This just shows what kind of people they have watching them, the BASEMENT RATS!
Frances on November 14, 2009 at 5:54 AM
Does the person who really owns the body that they put Palin’s head on (in bikini) get any royalties? Also, when are they going to pull MSNBC on the air? I think only the tech crew and cameramen are watching now.
WyoMike on November 14, 2009 at 10:57 AM
Funny,
I tried to watch the video but it is no longer available.
Is there a glitch, or is MSNBC covering their asses, pulling the video clip?
MSNBC,
Misogynistic Service News Broadcast Conglomerate.
William2006 on November 15, 2009 at 3:37 AM
All I get is “This Video no longer available”.
Hmmmm, hit and run.
