Rachel Maddow causes Freeper freakout.....
This is the thread the Freakers are reacting to:

MSNBC Host's False Attack Leads To Threats Against Conservative
NewsBusters ^ | 8/14/09 | Rich Noyes

Posted on Friday, August 14, 2009 3:39:38 PM by Laissez-faire capitalist

On her MSNBC show last night, the left-wing Air America host Rachel Maddow took a swipe at the conservative Shirley & Banister Public Affairs firm, specifically President & CEO Craig Shirley. Maddow accused Shirley of being behind a grassroots Web site funded by the group Grassfire.org, based on research provided by the "independent watchdog group Public Citizen," and she showed still images from an incendary "Obama=Hitler" video that's still posted on the Grassfire's ResistNet.com Web site.

BUT MADDOW WAS WRONG. THE PUBLIC CITIZEN WEB PAGE SHE CITED IS SEVERAL YEARS OLD. Shirley & Bannister hasn't represented Grassfire.org since 2004, and Diana Banister, a partner and Vice President at Shirley & Banister, told Newsbusters that Maddow's false report has led to hate mail and even death threats to the public relations firm. (Let's see if the left-wing thuggery gets any attention from the MSM.)

Craig Shirley and Diana Banister are demanding a retraction and apology from Maddow. They have sent a letter to Maddow that reads, in part: ......




Now the angry Freepers:

Marxist Socialist News Network... par for that hole.

From the original tea-bagging homo, Anderson Cooper, to this scary bull-dyke, it’s no wonder MSNBC is in the basement. What have they got now, about 10% of the market share?

Hmmmm.....MSM lies, accusations of conservatives doing what lefties have been doing for 40 years, MSM attacking families, private citizens, etc....I, as well as the rest of America are fed up with their BS!

One look at their ratings says it all...

I say the Tea Party folks start an all out attack against MSM. We need to appear outside their studios holding signs saying things like, “Nobody believes you anymore,” “Who do you think you’re kidding?” or “Zero credibility.” We need to make their alphabet names synonymous with the likes of “Pravda” during the cold war.

We need to target them, isolate them, and ridicule them.

What say me? An 11 year old blogger has better research and fact checking skills than MSNBC.

I hope they’re not holding their breath, marxists never apologise. They don’t care if what they said is a lie, as long as it furthers their cause.

The post cold war Pravda has more credibility than most of the MSM.

Oh, for Pete’s sake!

Look, just move out of New York, to one of the free states — where you can CCW and own all the guns you could possibly want. The birkenstock set is good at threatening, but most are too scared of guns to do any damage. They’ll huff and puff, but they won’t blow your house down. If it stops at threats, then don’t mind them; if they show up on your doorstep, blow their brains out. Simple.

Since the call for sponsors to stop sponsoring Glenn Beck were so effective, maybe we need to try to apply some pressure to the sponsors of MSNBC’s moonbats who say hateful things.

2. so they don't support one hate site, they support another one

4. I guess the Freepers don't even realize that Anderson Cooper "the teabagging homo"
...is on CNN. :rofl:

BTW, since when is Anderson part of their "movement"?

5. Reading freeperisms is like droping a straw into a septic tank for a refreshing lunch time drink.
Who in their right mind would even want to go there?

6. I'm not seeing this release
anywhere on the Shirley and Bannister website. I'm not sure what that means, but you would think a PR firm would have put this statement on their own website as opposed to just telling Newsbusters.
