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…
