excellant!....now let's compare.....in the case of Romney, reporters have hunted down five of his classmates to see if he did anything out of line while in high school....

let's compare that with the CNN article on Ayers.....first of all, look at the title given to the link ...."swift boat like attacks"....

the first three paragraphs state "Palin slams", "Palin attacks", "Palin said"......meanwhile, not even mentioning Ayers' name....

In the fourth paragraph, CNN informs us that Ayers lives in Obama's neighborhood, echoing Obama's defense, and states they have met several times.....

It mentions that some other reporter, from the NYT concluded the men were not close....

and besides, it tells us, he's a university professor now....

and that Palin's attacks are offensive.....

did they even assign a reporter to go out and look?......no.....

so, is this what you want to provide as proof of parallel coverage?....

the other links were similar enough they could have been written by the same reporter.....as perhaps they were.....one employed by Obama, perhaps?....

You should realize that this is a literally insane thing to say.

The Ayers story was a HUGE story in the '08 campaign. It was all over MSNBC, CNN and any other libbie network you can name. There isn't anyone who did not cover it, and cover it often.

and I've just demonstrated how CNN "covered" it.....I can't think of a more classic example of how the liberal media shapes the news......

Well of course the article reads like that.

The claims were bullshit.

lovely circular reasoning.....the claims were bullshit because no one in the main stream media found any evidence.....no one in the mainstream media found any evidence because they never investigated......they never investigated because the claims were bullshit.......
 
I think one of my fave things about this thread is the fact that PMP ridiculed interest in Romney's youthful activities, but is clearly obsesses with Obama's.

Just some wonderful irony there....

And the claims were bullshit because the RightWing partisan hack couldn't produce any evidence, despite his continued claims otherwise.

My point is, you remembered it! Not even something you were involved in, you did not even experience it firsthand and still remember!

Were you okay with that? And was your son a "grab-ber" or a "grab-bee"?
