Open mouth, insert foot, Sarah! - Palintology

I hope Palin continues to make a fool of herself and then runs for office. She is the gift that keeps on giving to the left.

Hey, Biden sticks foot in mouth all the time. How did HE - become VP? ..but who cares, right? uh huh.nm

Open mouth, insert foot for all that cut her down - just me

[ In Reply To ..]
Of course I would expect the Huffington Post to cut her down on anything. She could wear a navy blue blouse to a funeral and they'd cut her down because she wasn't wearing black. That's how bad it's gotten, but how bout we do a little more "fact checking here".

I have seen pictures of the coin without the inscription In God We Trust. I've gotten so many emails from people who are outraged by this. I looked at Snopes and it says it is false, however... there are pictures of these coins and says that in 2007 the US Mint began the release of a series of coins, similar in concept to the 50 State Quarters.

I read that and what one is led to believe is that there are new coins being printed by the US Mint that look like the picture they show. What Sarah Palin asked in her speech was "who made a decision like that" and that it is a "disturbing trend" which pretty much most of America agrees with. If P.O. said that everyone would be agreeing with him, but because it's Sarah Palin said it, well then. Sarah Palin has become the most hated woman in America. Why? I have not figured that one out. I don't agree with her, and I would not want her as President or VP, but I certainly don't hate her.

The only gift she gives to the "left" is the gift of showing America just how truly ugly the left is.

BTW - I don't want her as President or VP, however, I would love to see her in a cabinet position once the right takes back the WH in 2012.

The only cabinet Palin is qualified for is the kitchen cabinet! - Palintology

I don't hate Sarah Palin as an individual, I hate her beliefs and insane rhetoric!

Her supporters would rather blindly attack logic than admit she's a straight-up idiot!

Lies (and logic)...see message - just me

Lies:

1. My administration will be transparent.
2. I will be bipartisan.
3. I will end the war.
4. I am a christian.
5. I never practiced Islam.
6. I want all votes to count.
7. My school in Indonesia was christian.
8. I passed 26 of my own bills in one year.
9. I have released my state records.
10. I believe in fairness not tactics.
11. My wife didn't mean what she means about pride.
12. I will not hire any lobbyists.

And that's not even half the lies.

And Sarah Palin? We're finding out more and more statements the Palin-haters said she said, well we're finding out a lot of them are the truths.

Hate Palin all ya want. It's no where near half as bad as what is going on today.

Oh...I forgot...Logic. He has none.

Funny, you should use the word "logic" . . . - emanon

[ In Reply To ..]
When there is absolutely none in your response. The only thing you have managed to do is perpetuate the lies. You speak of O's "lies", when there is no validity to even one of your statements. Where's your proof? What a joke. You're just one more product of the empty-headed parrots whose lies you seem to actually believe enough to continuing repeating them as some sort of fact.

Just out of curiosity -- not that I expect a "logical" answer -- but exactly what are SP's "truths"?

Since you are being illogical and... - just me

[ In Reply To ..]
you won't even believe what P.O. says when it comes right out of his mouth.

Which by the way the statements I retrieved came from Snopes and even they said they were lies. So since you are being so illogical I will leave it at that.

I can provide statements of what SP said that are truth, but I refuse to waste my time on such illogical posts. Even Snopes or another site would prove it true but there's I'm not wasting my time.

Post all the hate you want about SP. But we all know the lies your lord tells.

Palin lied when she said the dismissal of her public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, had nothing to do with his refusal to fire state trooper Mike Wooten; in fact, the Branchflower Report concluded that she repeatedly abused her power when dealing with both men.

Palin lied when she repeatedly claimed to have said, "Thanks, but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere; in fact, she openly campaigned for the federal project when running for governor.

Palin lied when she denied that Wasilla's police chief and librarian had been fired; in fact, both were given letters of termination the previous day.

Palin lied when she wrote in the NYT that a comprehensive review by Alaska wildlife officials showed that polar bears were not endangered; in fact, email correspondence between those scientists showed the opposite.

Palin lied when she claimed in her convention speech that an oil gas pipeline "began" under her guidance; in fact, the pipeline was years from breaking ground, if at all.

Palin lied when she told Charlie Gibson that she does not pass judgment on gay people; in fact, she opposes all rights between gay spouses and belongs to a church that promotes conversion therapy.

Palin lied when she denied having said that humans do not contribute to climate change; in fact, she had previously proclaimed that human activity was not to blame.

Palin lied when she claimed that Alaska produces 20 percent of the country's domestic energy supply; in fact, the actual figures, based on any interpretation of her words, are much, much lower.

Palin lied when she told voters she improvised her convention speech when her teleprompter stopped working properly; in fact, all reports showed that the machine had functioned perfectly and that her speech had closely followed the script.

Palin lied when she recalled asking her daughters to vote on whether she should accept the VP offer; in fact, her story contradicts details given by her husband, the McCain campaign, and even Palin herself. (She later added another version.)

Palin lied when she claimed to have taken a voluntary pay cut as mayor; in fact, as councilmember she had voted against a raise for the mayor, but subsequent raises had taken effect by the time she was mayor.

Palin lied when she insisted that Wooten's divorce proceedings had caused his confidential records to become public; in fact, court officials confirmed they released no such records.

Palin lied when she suggested to Katie Couric that she was involved in trade missions with Russia; in fact, she has never even met with Russian officials.

Palin lied when she told Shimon Peres that the only flag in her office was the Israeli flag; in fact, she has several flags.

Palin lied when she claimed to have tried to divest government funds from Sudan; in fact, her administration openly opposed a bill that would have done just that.

Palin lied when she repeatedly claimed that troop levels in Iraq were back to pre-surge levels; in fact, even she acknowledged her "misstatements," though she refused to retract or apologize.

Palin lied when she insisted that the Branchflower Report "showed there was no unlawful or unethical activity on my part"; in fact, that report prominently stated, "Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act."

Palin lied when she claimed to have voiced concerns over Wooten fearing he would harm her family; in fact, she actually decreased her security detail during that period.

Palin lied when asked about the $150,000 worth of clothes provided by the RNC; in fact, solid reporting contradicted several parts of her statement.

Palin lied when she suggested that she had offered the media proof of her pregnancy with Trig to "correct the record"; in fact, no reports of her medical records were ever published; and the letter from her doctor testifying to her good health only emerged hours before polling ended on election day, even though there was nothing in it that couldn't have been released two months earlier.

Palin lied when she said that "reported" allegations of her banning Harry Potter as mayor was easily refutable because it had not even been written yet; in fact, the first book in that series was published in 1998 - two years into her first term - and such rumors were never reported by the media, only circulated as emails.

Palin lied when she denied having participated in a clothes audit with campaign laywers; in fact, the Washington Times later confirmed those details.

Palin lied when asked about Couric's question regarding her reading habits; in fact, Couric's words were not, "What do you read up there in Alaska?" or anything close to condescension.

Palin lied when she mischaracterized the "$1200 check" given to Alaskans as the permanent fund dividend check; in fact, that fund had yielded $2,069 per person, and she claimed otherwise to obscure the fact that Alaskans also received a $1200 rebate check from a windfall profits tax on oil companies - a tax widely criticized by Republicans.

Palin lied when she claimed to be unaware of a turkey being slaughtered behind her during a filmed interview; in fact, the cameraman said she had picked the spot herself, while the slaughter was underway.

Palin lied when she denied having rejected federal stimulus money; in fact, she continued to accept and reject the funds several times.

Palin lied when she claimed that legislative leaders had canceled a meeting with her to hold their own press conference; in fact, they only canceled it after being told she would not participate, and the purpose of the press conference was very different from the meeting's.

Palin lied when she announced on the news that she never holds closed-door meetings; in fact, she had just attended a closed-door meeting with the legislature earlier that day.

Palin lied when she said that former aide John Bitney's "amicable" departure was for "personal" reasons; in fact, Bitney said he was fired because of his relationship with the wife of Palin's friend, plus a Palin spokesperson later claimed "poor job performance" for his firing - without elaborating.

Palin lied when she said she kept her running injury a secret on the campaign trail; in fact, her bandaged hand was clearly visible in photographs and the story was widely talked about.

Palin lied when she claimed that Alaska has spent "millions of dollars" on litigation related to her ethics complaints; in fact, that figure is much, much lower, and she had initiated the most expensive inquiry.

Palin lied when she denied that the Alaska Independence Party supports secession and denied that her husband had been a member; in fact, even the McCain campaign noted that the party's very existence is based on secession and that Todd was a member for seven years.

Oh, and let's not forget the fear-mongering she started with the "death panels" crap she was so fond of spewing constantly.

Great post regarding Sarah Palin lies! - Palintology

I also find it very interesting that the person who asked "what lies?" has nothing to say about your post, which clearly outlines numerous lies told by Sarah Palin.

maybe some of us work around here and - A working MT

don't stalk this board 24 hours. Maybe some of us are doing some research because we've seen emanon, oops I mean Palintology, oops I mean emanon, oops I mean Palintology post things that are blantly false. Maybe you should give some people a break because they do have to work, pay bills, clean the house, cook for the family, and do other things besides stay on this board 24/7.

The issues will be researched and addressed (don't trust emanon, I mean Palintology, I mean emanon's posts and always have to research myself).

I wish I could take credit for "Palintolgy's" comments, but - emanon

[ In Reply To ..]
of course, once again, you people jump to the incorrect conclusions. As far as my "research" goes, Palin's lies have been well documented, unlike the OP with her "list" of Obama's "lies".

As for "trusting" my comments, I could care less if you "trust" my comments or not. Do your own research, as I have done. And another thing, I do anything but "stalk" this board. I think you are mistaking me for some of your like-minded haters that always seem to have nothing to do but debate anyone they don't agree with.

But's it all baloney. Meanwhile, Obama tells "untruths" all - the time..you dont even see it, apparently.nm

Ya might want to check your info first - What lies?

[ In Reply To ..]
Well that was some cut and paste job you did there. Too bad you didnâ��t have a thought of your own or research any of these:

This took a long time because when you type Sarah Palinâ��s name in Google it takes forever to get through all the personal hate websites. Lots of liberals posting nasty hateful comments. Look at who is posting if itâ��s a site like Huffington Post, MSNBC, CNN, CBS you know you will not get a truthful story (and yes before I hear any whining, Fox too). Each issues needs to be addressed. Research, research, research. Cross reference and research more. Cutting and pasting from a liberal site aint gonna fly. Some original thoughts would have been nice, but I see thatâ��s too much for you to post. Most important thing in quotes:

Issue 1:

Palin lied when she said the dismissal of her public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, had nothing to do with his refusal to fire state trooper Mike Wooten; in fact, the Branchflower Report concluded that she repeatedly abused her power when dealing with both men.

Response:

Unethical? Maybe. Criminal? No. The guy was a scumbag and deserved to be fired. But most importantly you forgot to state the Branchflower Report Finding #2 â��

Finding Number Two
I find that, although Walt Monegan's refusal to fire Trooper Michael Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Governor Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination as Commissioner of Public Safety. "In spite of that, Governor Palin's firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads."

And by the wayâ�¦.

Finding Number Three
Harbor Adjustment Service of Anchorage, and its owner Ms. Murleen Wilkes, handled Trooper Michael Wooten's workers' compensation claim property and in the normal course of business like any other claim processed by Harbor Adjustment Service and Ms. Wilkes. Further, "Trooper Wooten received all the workers' compensation benefits to which he was entitled."

Issue #2:

Palin lied when she repeatedly claimed to have said, "Thanks, but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere; in fact, she openly campaigned for the federal project when running for governor.

Response:

Sarah Palin stopped advocating for the bridge after it was brought to her attention through public outcry that the costs had climbed beyond reason for such a project that would benefit so few. She may have supported in at the beginning, but "she didn't want money from congress. She said thanks but no thanks if we want a bridge we'll build it our selves!!"

You know whatâ�¦I donâ��t have time to address all your other falsehoods. Maybe if you come on with some truthful statements thatâ��s one thing, but this is all a lie and you didnâ��t even research to find out if these were true or not. I have better things to do with my time besides doing your research.

Itâ��s one thing to hate her, another to post blatantly false information that you know is false. Oh wait, I donâ��t think you did know because you just copied and pasted from a Palin-hater site.

Thank you!.. I dont love Palin, but dont hate her either. - Longer O is in office, smarter she looks.nm

The trooper gate thing was a mess for her and she had people backing her just like Nixon did.

However, you can't refute the bridge one. Alaska got the money. She did not turn it down.
