Sliming Palin

The will be plenty of question for Palin just like it was for Obama and McCain it is called politics when I last looked.. Maverick I don't buy from ultra conservatives. So did her husban belong to this group?

Yup, I've already received a chain e-mail saying that she is a redneck. It seems to ve passing among a heavy number of black folks, based on who I received it from. Of course, I think it is a colloquial compliment to be called a redneck in Alaska. "Redneck" is getting to be a very affectionate term in Odessa, TX, as it is an oil producing area of the US. Hopefully there will be a whole bunch of rednecks in Alaska and the US in the next two months.

this is ridiculous. re-read the article and you will easily see how they have twisted the issues in question. one example: the article states "She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library.", now it may well be true that she did not DEMAND books be BANNED, but she definitely did ASK the librarian to PULL books from the shelves. This article exemplifies the GOP's denial tactics: take the original statement, change the wording, then deny the re-worded statement... even if the original statement was true. Anyone who honestly believes this load of crap and cannot see through the weak attempts to mask the true seriously needs to consider doing some of their own research and not going on one article from a clearly biased source. One more thing: we, as a country, need to realize that this election is not about obama vs mccain, it is about the people vs the GOP. Just listen to one of mccain's speeches and you will hear the exact same nonsensical rhetoric that bush has been spewing for the past 8 years. Not only does he have the same people writing his speeches, he has the same people pulling his strings. We do not need another puppet in office, if we end up with one this county is done for... welcome to 1984.

Where is your list of "slimes" against Obama? I am amazed that you can just sort of brush over the fact that this weird conversation between Palin and the local librarian took place in the first place. The only "fact" you brought out was that there wasn't a list of books. A loyalty purge? Wow. Also, what a lame ass attempt on your investigation on the AIP. COME ON! So she didn't sign a membership card. Her husband did for many years! Part of her household income went to support this. You sort blah blah that fact. These people won't say the pledge of allegiance to the American Flag! WEAK. Are you sure your not working for the Palin campaign.

Keep slamming Ms. Palin, it's been great for her poll numbers.

Hey there, Brooks Jackson, Jess Henig, Emi Kolawole, Joe Miller and Lori Robertson ...

Just because a book isn't 'in print' does not disprove that someone wouldn't want it in the library. A vast majority of all books in libraries are out of print. That's why we have libraries. So that when they're out of print, we can still find them. If you have a better argument, please put it forward. And, I'm sorry... someone doesn't ask a 'what if' question unless they have an interest in finding out the answer for some reason.

Was Palin ever a stripper? With Meghan McCain telling how her dear old dad once dated a stripper, it now sheds light on why old John disgustingly 'teased' that Cindy participate in the stripper contest at the bikers rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. To even remotely put such a thought in people's heads of a potential first lady is unbelievably stupid and reckless. McCain really will say anything for a vote. I wonder if John will now suggest Palin join Cindy in the stripper contest? I thought no one could ever be as much an idiot as Bush but I see McCain is well on his way.

Nice how you left out the minor detail of her husband being a member of the AIP for seven years, off and on. Palin's attendance at some of their gatherings holds more significance when you understand that her spouse was a registered member.

I find it incredibly interesting that Newsweek would go through the detail of "fact-checking" every statement ever issued about Palin. However, as a long-time subscriber, where was this level of fact-checking when rumors (lies) abounded (and continue to abound) about Barack Obama? There were many issues that could have been put to bed very early on if you were really trying make some attempt at being "fair and balanced". I'm really sick of the media trying to make Palin out to be something she is not out of fear you will be critized for being sexist. She deservers no more "protection" than anyone else in this race. Shame on you Newsweek!!

: Giuliani also said McCain had been a fighter pilot. Actually, McCain's plane was the
: A-4 Skyhawk, a small bomber. It was the only plane he trained in or flew in combat,
: according to McCain's own memoir.

This is your example of "twisting facts"? Even assuming the point to be valid, it's a pretty pathetic example. But of course, just like so many of your other assertions, this example is based on opinion rather than fact. The Skyhawk is not a "small bomber" as you assert. Like most Navy aircraft, this aircraft is dual-function, serving primarily as a fighter with the ability to carry bombs or missiles. Its technical classification is A-4, making it technically an "attack aircraft", neither fighter nor bomber.

Just because the list is bogus, doesn't mean the attempt to "ban" books by Palin, and her consequent attempt to fire the librarian, is not true. You'd better check your fact checking.
