I'm havng a few problems with the article.  They are the same problems I have when right wing media does it to the dems.  "almost like" if he does this, in my view, is not the same as accusing him of treason.  "Dunno, you need to ask him" in response to a question is not attacking the President's patriotism, imo.  Isn't Obama attacking the repubs love of country when he says what he does about them?  That's politics.  Perry is an asshole and will say a lot of stupid things.  There is no need to exaggerate them.

There are frequent inaccuracies and exagerations in Bennen's comments.

Yeah, oskar, I've noticed that.  I hate it as much as I do the same by right wingers.

  

Perhaps you've noticed my constant griping about the shoddy crap that passes for journalism.

Yes, I have, oskar, and agree with you.  And, it is on both sides, not just the right wing media.
  

I didn't say he wasn't better than most. In spite of his obvious bias he's relatively reasonable.

Especially with spellcheck available...
Har!

Part of the problem is I don't really care that much for blogs.  Anyone can start a blog.  Do they have standards they must live up to or can they just give their opinions on everything whether based on truth or not?  Obviously this guy has a lot of followers, but then so does Rush.

Do you say Perry accused anyone of treason?  He said if this is done then it will be almost like.  It hasn't even been done yet.  Do you say he threatened anyone's life?  I don't eqaute treating ugly with murder and again the thing hasn't even been done yet.  Do you say he attacked Obama's patriotism?  He answered a question.  He at worst questioned it but did not attack it.  I don't see what Benen said as a valid interpretation.  I see it as total exaggeration.

Of course we all make mistakes.  Do you think that's what this was?  That he should correct it?

Who should or shouldn't correct what? Bennen? Perry?

Yes, and Perry will do that, I'm sure.  So, I am all for going after him when he really does it.

I was responding to sooz.  She said Benen is good about correcting his mistakes.
  

Huh?
To what are you responding?

Edit: Mind-tapping, are you? [img]/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif[/img] Look at the times of our posts.

Well, I don't see how he accurately "stated" Perry's own words because Perry didn't accuse anyone of treason, threaten murder or attack Obama's patriotism.  He did interpret them in a way I feel is innacurate.  You agree with the interpretation.  That's fine.  We will disagree a lot in the coming months leading to election.

Correction, the quotes he used were accurate quotes.  But to turn around and state that Perry said something else is not.

  

I was responding to sooz's post #83

The lot of them can do as they wish. However, continued inaccuracies and/or exagerations do nothing but undermine their credibility and the validity of their opinions... in my opinion.

Perry on Bernanke: ‘I dunno what y'all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas'

Former Bush Aides Slam Perry's Bernanke Comments: ‘Inappropriate And Unpresidential,' Too ‘Cowboy'

Former Bush Deputy Press Secretary Tony Fratto spoke out against Perry's comments just moments after ThinkProgress first reported them, writing on Twitter that the they were “inappropriate and unpresidential.â€

So now we care what Bush's former press secretary says?  The Bush camp and the Perry camp do not get along.

In Texas, treating someone pretty ugly is making them listen to Perry for an hour.  That's as bad as you can get.

oops not press secretary. deputy press secretary.
