We Have A Winner In The Breitbart Blogging Parody Contest
February 24, 2011 8:57 am ET by Eric Boehlert
And the honor goes to....Kristinn Taylor and Andrea Shea King. The Breitbart duo teamed up to write an absolutely sublime blog post that's so insanely dopey and illogical that it could have only been meant as a parody, right? Right?!
Here's the headline for the priceless piece:
Washington Post Owned Slate Called Sarah Palin a C*** in Headline
Now wait a minute, that is a big deal. Why would the Post-owned site do something so mean and nasty as that? I mean, that's just so far out of bounds, somebody at Slate must have completely lost their senses to launch an attack like that. Finally, you're thinking, a Breitbart blogger has cause for alarm and has every right to raise holy hell about the tasteless liberal media, right?
Oh, you're going to love this. Here's the damning proof that Slate called Palin a c*** in a headline:
Sarah Palin Uses Alternate Facebook Accunt to Praise Sarah Palin
Read it again. Slowly. See the typo? Slate's headline read "Accunt" instead of "Account." In an article about a Facebook account, Slate's headline writer left out an "o" and misspelled the word as "Accunt." The Breitbart duo then pounced, announcing that Slate had called Palin a "c***." How did Breitbart's Sherlock Holmes determine the typo was intentional? Because they checked other Slate headlines and none of them had typos.
I am not making this up.
Go ahead and make the obvious points, like how the typo doesn't even refer to Palin, instead it refers to something associated with Facebook. (Facebook is a c***??) But that doesn't matter. Since the headline also mentioned Palin, Team Breitbart is sure the typo was meant for her. (Do typos actually have targets?)
I mean honestly, does right-wing "media criticism" get any more laughable than this? Does the far-right's obsessive desire to simultaneously play the victims while assigning motivations to journalists get any more comical than this sorry display? I believe the answer is no, which is why Taylor and King win the honors in the Breitbart Blogging Parody Contest.
And for the record, Slate fixed the typo and its "embarrassed" editor issued an apology. But don't be misled by the massive cover-up people. Breitbart's team owns the typo niche of media criticism.
I noticed you left the "be" out of the above sentence. Obviously, you did that because you think Sarah Palin's a B*TCH!!!
No surprise there.
Wasn't that one of the Breitbart sites that thought the closed captioning indicating "Applause" for the president's speech were instructions ?
Same thing, whichever site that was, some of the more sane wingnuts couldn't make the stretch, and pointed out reality, and the true cultists called them apologists, or went with " yeah, but it wouldn't surprise me if Obummer did do that !"
The right wing media knows exactly what their audience wants. Any BS, no matter how ridiculous, that they can express their daily outrage about.
Our country's news media has been fully dissolved into teenage text-message style hate-filled back-and-forth screeches.
"Heheheh. He said acc**t. Heheheheh"
She is a c*** handed person when out in the wilds of Alaska.
COLD....stolen from a movie with Nichole Kidman
We don't need to fulfill the fantasy of every Right Winger by engaging in this sort of name-calling nonsense.
But calling her vacuous is quite different from calling her the c-word.
I just don't think it's a good idea for progressives to say things Limbaugh would say.
"Phone call for Mike Hunt. Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?"
Reels the mind.
I'd advise that person never to visit Glasgow though, actually any place north of Newcastle come to think of it, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand, we wouldn't want their ears befouled or their delicate sensibilities offended.
The amount of thumbs down my post received for pointing out there are different cultural uses of words like the C word is quite eye opening I must say.
It doesn't even bear comparison to such a historically belligerent word such as the racial slur it was compared with.
If she wants attention, she should just go to Fox News and embarrass herself there instead of embarrassing herself with a facebook page dedicated to her. Fox News will praise her no matter what she does or says.
Mrs. Loesch couldn't understand the protestor's sign.
And to use that terrible event to try to make a feeble political point? How low can they go? Right now they would have to look up to see the bottom of the barrel.
