Don’t get caught taking a sip of coffee or soda when you watch this; you’ll get it all over your monitor.
I don’t know what it takes to be the stupidest person at MSNBC. You have to beat out Keith “Raging, Spittle-Flecked Tantrums” Olbermann, Chris “Leg Tingle” Matthews, and Rachel “Mad Cow” Maddow. But I gotta hand it to Norah. I think she has pulled it off.
Here she picks a fight with a 17-year old Sarah Palin fan (at about 1:50 in the clip), tries unsuccessfully to trap her into defending Palin on a false premise, and gets her head handed to her, by a kid who obviously knows her stuff. I can’t believe they actually let this film get out. It’s cute how whoever made this video titled it : “MSNBC interviews clueless Sarah Palin Supporter”. They have all the right words, just not in the right order.

Notice which person uses cue cards.

UPDATE!! djemi in the comments below points us here where the young lady tells her story of the events of the day, including the skirmish with Norah O’Donnell. Great kid, who handled herself quite well.

What a moron that MSNBC is using
Richard Mullins Friday, November 20th at 12:55PM EST (link)trying to make a argument that Sarah Palin was for TARP simply because she just keep to the message that John McCain had in 2008. So stupid and anyways 2008 was Zombieland. Going against it was going against the Zombie mentality.

Look at it closely, because . . .
reverendred Saturday, November 21st at 11:18PM EST (link)the reporter is reading her question from a piece of paper. It is obviously meant to be a real stumper of a question, and she is going around trying to find a good victim. Hoping for easy prey, she latches on to a teenage girl (thereby insulting her own gender). Really, it is despicable reporting. Reminds me of how Sarah got misused by Katie Couric.
Reverend Red
The girl definitely held her own...
mschmitt Friday, November 20th at 12:56PM EST (link)… but while O’Donnell came off poorly with that “specifically?” bullying nonsense, we can at least hope that she is able to teach that phrase to the White House press corps.
Well MSNBC is really the other end of the White House press office
Richard Mullins Friday, November 20th at 1:00PM EST (link)so I can expect this stupidness to keep going on. MSNBC is the WH talking points channel.

Of course, I've commented on her blog that as soon as she turns 18

So, Norah. Do you feel like you accomplished something by ambushing (or trying to) a 17-year-old? Rush thinks she did a fine job, and so do I.

Leopard1996 Friday, November 20th at 4:47PM EST (link)She has no idea what the hell she is talking about. Palin was in no position one way or the other during the whole bailout thing to have nothing but McCain’s view.
My man made an awesome point. Sorry Norah you are an epic effing fail.

If Palin was for the bailout, then
GregInFla Saturday, November 21st at 11:30PM EST (link)the argument fails, because she was agreeing with Norah’s candidate (Obama). It’s just like pro-abortion people complaining that a Republican made some decision sometime against pro-life causes. They are complaining about someone agreeing with them. The man made a great comment, that TARP was for Toxic Assets when it was passed, and THEN it was used for different baliout purposes.

Or how Afghanistan is where we need to focus our efforts? Or closing Gitmo? Or not hiring lobbyists? Shall I go on?”

aesthete Friday, November 20th at 6:50PM EST (link)Because when O’Donnell was 17, she could enumerate the reasons that she supported her candidate. Way to stay classy there, MSNBC.
Relative to her age demographic, she was well-informed and articulated her reasoning very well. Heck, she came off much better in front of the camera than Norah, a purported “professional”!
“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.”

Reading her Wordpress post was enlightening
aesthete Friday, November 20th at 6:58PM EST (link)I can’t say that I was surprised by the media ambush, but I do wish that the MSM had been more mature.

Norah can't contain herself when she thinks she has something on Palin.
jeffreywturner Friday, November 20th at 11:29PM EST (link)None of the MSMers can.
She was so anxious to prove that Palin supported the bail out, but she can only come up with quotes from McCain.
News flash moron: Palin did not agree with EVERYTHING McCain said.
“Life is too short, can’t we all just eat pork and kill some terrorists?”
O'Donnell's agenda-driven journalism
SoFiMil Saturday, November 21st at 11:49AM EST (link)was appalling apparent in the last 5 seconds of the clip when she stated that Palin supporters “can’t be specific in some cases about the issues.”
The young woman succinctly cited the issues. It was Obama supporters during the election who could not provide specifics (other than the fact that Obama had dreamy eyes).

I am just waiting for the day on live TV, when someone....
penguin2 Saturday, November 21st at 12:21PM EST (link)will tell them exactly what they/we think of them. As in, “Nora, you Leftist agenda driven media hacks are the ignorant ones, and your lack of ethics and brains is obvious to everyone but you.” I guess that will end up on the cutting room floor?

Well, Liz Cheney "spanked" Nora O'Donnell about six months ago; here's the video
ColdWarrior Saturday, November 21st at 12:59PM EST (link)You may recall I suggested to Liz at the Redstate gathering that her and her mother open a consulting business for conservative Republican lawmakers and Party leaders teaching how to debate the Minion Media talking airheads like O’Donnell.
Enjoy!
Thank you.

What an idiot that reporter is still reading off her statement after the young lady already responded to her about it more than once.

I think we're biased here. Norah won the debate, IMHO.
Rod_Patrick Saturday, November 21st at 12:22PM EST (link)O’Donnell’s passion, fighting spirit, and tactical skills in twisting the facts in favor of her arguments are extraordinary and sterling.
But Obama, Huck, Romney, and the rest are SO SO ANGRY of O’Donnell. She practically converted Jackie into a full-pledged Palinite.
And in 3 years, Jackie will be a young lady, and … an eligible voter. That means that O’Donnell has given Palin at least 4 votes in 2012 if Palin decides to run:
1 - Jackie
2 - Jackie’s future boyfriend [She will be a beautiful confident young lady.]
3 - at least one of Jackie’s close friends
4 - at least one member of Jackie’s household
In the end, Norah won the debate and she successfully assured Palin of at least 4 votes in 2012.
I disagree
E Pluribus Unum Saturday, November 21st at 5:35PM EST (link)Norah asked (a) an ambush question, other than what they discussed before cameras rolled, and (b) a trap question, trying to pin to Sarah Palin a position that she HAD to take as McCain’s VP candidate. The dumb b*tch used cue cards because she’s not smart enough to think on her feet, even when she’s asking the questions.
Jackie responded by saying, correctly, that she does not think that’s Palin’s position. No cue cards. Correct on the facts.

skorrent1 Monday, November 23rd at 1:22AM EST (link)Had she not gone back to Dad (?) for a wrap up. She allowed him to say that the purpose of TARP was completely changed after passage to something completely unacceptable. (It’s a wonder that made the cut!) Then she said the supporters had no specifics. Clear loser!
What a bully and a sick person disguised
