Obama Attack Video Against Palin, Breitbart Is Selectively and Heavily Edited

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 7:31 am

But hey, all’s fair in politics. As the Republican front-runner, Sarah Palin must be defeated — even if it takes distortion to do it.

What’s that you say? She’s not even running? What about Rush Limbaugh? He isn’t either?

Attack them anyway. If they’re not running, that should make them easier to beat, shouldn’t it?

Thanks to JD.

Poor little Barack! Is that mean ol’ Tundra Bunny keeping you from holding back the seas and healing the planet?

Well then, you just go right ahead and hypocritically twist her words into something she never intended. That’ll show us all what a big, strong, leader of the free world you are.

It’s kind of funny that he’s running on the GOP’s War on Women at the same time he’s running a War on Woman.

Seriously, why do we hold out the fiction the GoP is in this to win?

Or, maybe Schmidt has been “promised” something by somebody. You know, like Arlen was.

Remember last week when it was bad to attack private citizens for expressing their thoughts?

if Meghan’s useless daddy hadn’t been such a craven cowardly unelectable slut they never would’ve needed to stoop to a cheap stunt like putting a palpably unready Palin on the ticket anyway

Mr. steve’s just being honest, in a not-particularly-professional kind of way

but he’s mostly just a media bimbo now

just like Palin

5. Agreed, Schmidt, Wallace, MacKinnon, et al., have stuffed their beds with down, heroes of bipartisan comity.

We called them Quisling in the old country(or at least the cousins we left behind did).

7. “a media bimbo now just like Palin”

We know Palin is well remunerated, but the rest of us bimbos do it for free, ’cause that’s what we’re worth.

Breitbart’s countercharge that Palin’s comments were “heavily edited” is laughable. Of course it was edited — as are all sounds bites used in ANY political ad.

The question with this type of thing is always : Does the editing distort what was said? Does it take quotes out of context and put them in a new one? Does it make the speaker appear to say something the he/she didn’t say?

And in this case, the answer is “no”. Palin was talking about Obama.

The Breitbart heirs don’t get it.

Talking about the word squirrel:

You Tube: Germans can’t say squirrel

From the Puffington Host:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/09/squirrel-germans-say-pronounce_n_1334998.html

By: Natalie Wolchover

Published: 03/08/2012 12:38 PM EST on Lifes Little Mysteries

“Squrrrrr … skraaaawl … squirruh … SQUOOW!”

As YouTube videos all but prove, Germans have a really hard time pronouncing “squirrel.” After nailing the “squ-,” chaos ensues.

In an episode of the British TV show “Top Gear,” host Jeremy Clarkson jokingly suggested that asking people to pronounce the word would be a surefire way to identify undercover German spies. “No German, no matter how well they speak English, can say ‘squirrel,'” Clarkson asserted.

Exceptions to the rule notwithstanding, why is the name of small, bushy tailed rodents so difficult for the Deutsche? [See video]

Carlos Gussenhoven, a phonologist — a linguist who studies the sounds used in different languages — at Radboud University in the Netherlands, believes the challenge lies in squirrel’s syllable structure.

Linguists break words into clusters — groups of consonants that have no intervening vowels. In German, “-rl” is an end cluster, Gussenhoven explained. It comes at the end of a syllable, as in the common German name Karl, rather than forming a syllable of its own. Thus German speakers try to translate the two-syllable English word “squirrel” into the monosyllabic German sound “skwörl ” in the same way that “squirm” becomes “skwörm.”

But that doesn’t sound quite right, and Germans know it. “Dissatisfied with this result, the German speaker tries to produce a real ‘R,’ of the sort you get in (Rock ‘n) Roll, in the end cluster, wreaking havoc,” Gussenhoven told Life’s Little Mysteries.

He outlined the steps a German should take to pronounce “squirrel,” and boy, does it sound like no fun.

“The solution is to say skwö first and then Roll. If the speaker then also manages to avoid saying (1) sh for [s] and (2) [v] for [w], and uses the vowel in the first syllable of getan [German for ‘done’] instead of (3)ö in the first syllable and instead of (4) o in the second syllable, and (5) makes the r like the English r and (6) the l like the ‘dark’ l of English, the result will be quite acceptable,” he wrote in an email.

No wonder it’s so difficult for Germans to nail the English name. Gussenhoven said “squirrel” is a shibboleth, a word notorious for the way its pronunciation identifies its speaker as a foreigner. [Why Do Americans and Brits Have Different Accents?]

Jessica Williams, a linguist at the University of Illinois in Chicago who studies second language acquisition, said that, based on YouTube, the issue may not be confined to Germans. “I notice that there are plenty of other videos that say the same thing about Arabic and Farsi speakers,” she said.

Go on, then, native English speakers: Say “squirrel” and be proud.

he one subject Sarah Palin knew something about was Iraq. In preparation for being appointed to the Senate by the newly elected Governor Senator Frank Murkowski, which didn’t happen (he appointed his daughter instead) she had watched the entire Senate debate on going to war with Iraq.

But she didn’t know that she knew.

So when Charles Gibson asked her whether she agreed with the Bush doctrine, she didn’t say “what’s that?” or “There’s no such thing”
Sammy Finkelman (52d790) — 3/13/2012 @ 2:18 pm
Whereas Biden apparently ‘was for the war before he was against it’ and relying on Peter Galbraith, suggested that Iraq, be partitioned along it’s three
bloody vilayets of Ottoman times,
narciso (87e966) — 3/13/2012 @ 2:22 pm
Partition Iraq, pre-1967 borders . . . not very “progressive,” are they?
Icy (306668) — 3/13/2012 @ 2:36 pm
Pretty hard to rag on Gov Palin with a pool of candidates who are conspicuously inferior.

I didn’t think she was really ready to be an effective President, and I thought she had some political liability, but that’s like saying an F430 is obsolete when shopping at the Hyundai dealership.

Most videos stay on You Tube for a lot longer than 12 hours, (I can’t find where somebody said that here) except those that have a copyright problem.

This one doesn’t have a copyright problem, but threatens to give one to everyone who looks at it:

I refer to that as Selective Misogyny.
