Sliming Palin
September 8, 2008
False Internet claims and rumors fly about McCain's running mate.
Summary
We’ve been flooded for the past few days with queries about dubious Internet postings and mass e-mail messages making claims about McCain’s running mate, Gov. Palin. We find that many are completely false, or misleading.

factcheck.org is a great website. It refutes a lot of the lies posted here about Obama, as well.

Yeah, I'll go ahead and stick with what's in her actual record - and in the mainstream media - already, such as:

  • Supported, whole-heartedly, the Bridge To Nowhere™, before she opposed it. Killed the project as Governor, so she could take credit for having opposed a publicly-ridiculed project, but kept the federal earmark money

  • Flew to Washington, seeking earmarks for her tiny town, starting well back in the '90s, and as governor, oversaw the largest single per-capita earmark request for any state in the union, at $750 million

  • Has already been forced to publicly backtrack on her previous comments that neither she nor any member of her administration or family was involved in contacting Walt Monegan regarding firing a state trooper (troopergate)

  • Contacted a state public librarian on three separate occasions regarding the potential banning of books



Etc.

No need to be making stuff up, there's plenty of pause-giving information right in the public record, undisputed (except by Palin and the McCain campaign, who seem determined to lie about it).

Riiiiiiight.

So the quotes FROM PALIN saying she supports "teaching both" - i.e., creationism AND evolution - are false? ROFLMAO.

The librarian is lying that Palin approached her on three separate occasions regarding banning books? ROFLMAO.

Man, the wingnut BS is piling up so fast, you need WINGS to stay above it.

"No need to be making stuff up, there's plenty of pause-giving "


Then why is so much being made up?

Uh.....OK?? And your point would be? That there are misinformed idiots out there in the swamps of the Internet who aren't all that different from the "Obama's a Muslim" crowd? OK, gosh, Tex - ya got me on that one: there are indeed idiots out there who will believe stupid, untrue rumors about Palin.

Too bad they don't have Glenn Becks and Sean Insanitys and Rancid Limburgers and Michael "Savage" Weiners to whoop up their bullcrap.

Meanwhile, back on that ever-lovin' Planet Earth, Sarah Palin's ACTUAL, UNDISPUTED record indicates....exactly what I posted, in sharp contrast to the lies she's a-tellin' on the campaign trail (in between ducking reporters, LOL).

Because there are - gasp - idiots aplenty on the intertubes?

Gotta admit, I'm surprised, after a full year of "he's a Muslim" and similar, even-more-ridiculously-slanderous horse-crappery from the fever-swamps of wingnuttia, to hear you sound so shocked that those aren't the ONLY credulous idiots.

Now.....back to the real issues, like Palin's support for the Bridge To Nowhere before it became politically untenable, her having kept the earmark funds for that bridge instead of returning them, her having traveled to Washington to pursue earmark funds, her presiding over the nation's largest per-capita earmark/pork dollars of any state ($750 million), her having approached a librarian three separate times about potentially banning books, her having had to backtrack about no one connected to her having contacted Walt Monegan....etc....etc.....etc....

Let's just stick to the REAL issues, I agree. ;o)

>> like Palin's support for the Bridge To Nowhere before it became politically untenable<<

Did you catch this interview on CNN with one of Palin's ex-aides

http://www.blogsforjohnmccain.com/former-palin-aide-alaska-blows-democrats-bridge-attack-palin-out-water-video-9808

Sen. Biden and Sen. Obama voted for funding the Bridge, even when given a second chance by Sen. Tom Coburn, who proposed shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief.

If Democrats claim that they're not threatened by her then why all the lies? Better yet why is every other post on this board about Palin?? Democrats, are you feeling distracted?
