For the record, I like Sarah Palin. But thinking of her being a heartbeat away from the White House? Scary shit.

Lie#1: She said "an entire speech" not "a sound bite". Seems you went and looked for sound bites. And it's true - He *CAN* write an entire speech about Iraq and not use the word "victory". She didn't say "He's unable to utter the word 'victory.'"

Lie#2: I see no major law there. "worked with" does not equal "authored major law" and the State Senate stuff seems more joke-worthy than worthy. I mean, really - "studied"? "record interrogations"? That's major?

Lie#3: where's the lie? "when the deal was struck, we began...". She didn't say "we're done and the Feds approved it". also, $500mil vs 40Bil (that's, um, let's see... 80 times as much?) seems like a good deal to me.

Lie#4: again, where's the lie? She said what she did, and you're stating items that don't contradict it. I see you used the words "would have" - are you predicting a lie?

Wow... nice detective work, Mr. Karl.

I'd love to see a caption on that last pic of Levi and Bristol:

Levi: "Last time you looked at me like that, I got you knocked up."

Bristol: "Oh c'mon... that's not true. I just want you to smile for the press."

Repeating a lie does not make it the truth.

Go Barak... — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:20:56 GMT

Barak will win handily. He has nothing to worry about. Palin the Pawn and McCain the so called maverick are out of touch to say the least...

Dear "Sarah is a Fake" Alaskan mother. Bravo to you for your honesty about Sarah Palin. I could see immediately that she was a fake and a liar. You hit the nail on the head in all of your remarks about her. I hope that the American people start hearing the truth about her and "real" soon. I don't think that she will be very effective as a VP and I pray that the honest people of this country finally realize the truth about her and about MCain. They will destroy this country and everything we stand for and they will do only those things that will benefit themselve and those like themselves I feel so sorry for her children. She is driven by her ego and if she is an example of a Christian then I wouldn't want to declare that I am a Christian. If she knew the true teachings of Jesus Christ she would not lie the way she does and she would not treat others like she does, in thought, word or deed. When I see her making speeches, I do not see a Christ spirit in her, rather I see an angry woman who strikes out at others with a sharp, lying tongue. She uses speaks words of being a Christian but I don't see the fruits. Do you?

Sarah is a fake — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:04:52 GMT

I live in Alaska and hunt, fish etc. Unlike Sarah, I also pilot a supercub and commercially fish on a boat (Sarah does hers on the beach) and yea, my kids played hockey and I drove them all over the place--but unlike Sarah, I play too--you see, many Alaskan women don't just attend the games, we sign up in leagues and play ourselves. I'm not a unique Alaskan woman--fairly typical. Sarah is a fake. She is trying to create an imagine, but there is no substance to it. She did not pass ethics reform in Alaska. The minority Democrats have been fighting to get it passed for years and when three of Sarah's fellow Republicans were convicted and sent to jail for taking kick-backs from the oil companies, the majority Republicans were too embarrassed to continue fighting the ethics legislation, so they finally allowed the Democrats (who were totally responsible for crafting it) and Sarah had no choice but to sign the legislation. She is such a Liar! I think the issues of her children should be studied, not the children themselves. I wonder how well she has focused on her most important role, that of a mother, when her oldest vandalizes school buses and is given the choice to go to juvey or sign up for the Army. I would be mortified if any of my kids vandalized anything--especially school property! I wouldn't be "proud" if my teenage daughter got pregnant either. Fortunately, I raised my children to be responsible for their actions and my daughter came to me and asked me to put her on birth control when she decided to become sexually active. A much better choice than the one poor little Bristol was faced with. Sarah is not a good Christian woman--she is a pawn who is being used to solidify an unsophisticated set of right wing voters. She may be effective, but she is a fake.

Palin is a liar. She is the archtype of the hypocrytical Christian right wing...they ue the rules of the gospel when it suits them for power and to throw stones and judge others.

The lies make me physically ill.

McCain and Palin are shredding the morale of Americans who are already so depressed they can hardly watch any of it much less care about it.

This is destructive to our democratic process as it produces hatred and apathy.

Libra, check it out for yourself.

Compare and contrast the two sides and their lies. Guiliani and Huckabee are the big winners with outright whoppers. Cathe Freidrich, ooops, I mean, Sarah McPalin, had a lot of whoppers but the speech was written for someone else and she just read it.

Karl, thanks for posting this.

It's at the bottom of the story, linked as "Source," as usual.
