DISQUS

9/11 is the date she lied about?? Is that a coincidence????

ydthin · 1 year ago

I thought that the story was that he enlisted on september eleventh of last year. but I might have it wrong...so much 9/11 wh*ring going on.

tlsintx · 1 year ago

i think that's right...he enlisted on 9/11 last year and she said he'll be deployed to eye-rack on 9/11 this year...

ydthin · 1 year ago

elsewhere someone posted he was given a 'choice' to enlist, it was either that or jail. No proof, but that would make the story about his enlistment a lie as well. I have never seen so many lies come up in such a short time. I haven't seen any of the myspace pages (I think they are all down now anyway) but someone saw a reference from Levi's sister to Bristol as her 'sister-in-law' around the time Trig was born. And elswhere people are saying she and Levi have had a 'quickie wedding'. Are they married yet or or not?? I'm so confused I'm starting to get a headache. The last post here on this blog is pretty interesting, the relationship between Palin and her dr...

He didn't enlist-he ran away from home. Can you blame him?

houstonray · 1 year ago

I saw some sound bite of her saying "yes, my son Track is being deployed to eye-rack on 9/11" and the crowd just went crazy applauding...

9/11

She absolutely lied.

I would too. Any true, smart-thinking American would lie about the date of their child's departure to Iraq.

That's obvious to us who love America.

Not so obvious to America-hating A-bloggers.

tlsintx · 1 year ago

if she lied, why the hell did she pick the date 9/11 to lie about?

ydthin · 1 year ago

this may or may not be it but religious extremists aren't quite like 'normal' people. They believe their own lies. They exile and 'shun' people that don't support them. And they get so used to living in an insular community of people that don't confront them with reality that it's easy to become pathological because they are never confronted about the nature of their claims. It's a bizarre mentality, but it sure is fun to watch.

iWoman · 1 year ago

Uh. That doesn't even make sense. Why would we lie about our child's departure? No sane person would. How about - any true, smart thinking American would not give a date at all. We would not try to use 9-11 for political gain like she is, because it's no coincidence that she used 9-11 as the basis of her lie.

This just keeps coming up for me....she is not going to get a high level security clearance. When she is actually vetted for one, she's going to fail. There are way too many problems for her to be in at the highest level surrounding national security. Wait until the FBI actually has to talk to people on the ground in Alaska. No government agency has investigated her yet. What a freakshow.

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

My husband was in the Navy, and he had to disqualify himself occasionally from certain aspects of his job if he was taking cold medicine, for God's sake. This woman has zero chance of a high-level clearance, if they judge her by the criteria they use for everyone else. Of course, with these idiots in charge, it probably won't be a problem. They let the Chimp carry the football!

ydthin · 1 year ago

man it just keeps getting better.

I just read that this is not Levi's first kid. He apparently has a son named Connor, too, but didn't marry the mom. Is he Federline's redneck counsin or something?

Link?

ydthin · 1 year ago

it was a blog comment on another blog, I'm looking. I've read it elsewhere but this is the first time I've seen the kid's name mentioned.

houstonray · 1 year ago

HA! I love it!!! Keep 'em coming!!

Supposedly Alaska has been invaded by Republican vetting teams, and investigators from everywhere else...I have no doubt there will be LOTS more come out...

Palin is a disaster for our country. Imagine something bad happening to McCain, and this ignorant, rookie, taking over!!

What is wrong with these Rethuglicans? They simply have no common sense when it comes to picking or voting for their nominees. They chose Bush, who picked Cheney, and they are both miserable failures. To top that, they voted for these war criminals twice. Republicans = idiots.

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

Vice President Dick Cheney either lied or violated national and operational security by disclosing the status of Valerie Plame Wilson as an undercover CIA operative. We all should know by now: The GOP will stop at NOTHING to, in the words of Peggy Noonan, present their bullshit political narrative.

melissap · 1 year ago

I pretty sure I remember Cindy McCain nodding her head in agreement when Fred Thompson said her son was deploying on Christmas day last night.

Just now on CNN:
In a CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corp. survey out Wednesday afternoon:

Iowa:
Obama 55
McCain 40

Minnesota :
Obama 53
McCain 41

"Obama is winning in all regions of Iowa, even in the western counties, where George W. Bush beat John Kerry by 17 points," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "Obama is winning rural voters in Iowa, not something you see in many other states."

It appears to be a similar story in Minnesota, where the Republicans are holding their national convention this week.

I think they omitted that out of the most recent edition of "Vice Presidents for Dummies."

An_American_Karol · 1 year ago

I can understand how Palin's ego would allow her to accept this VP nomination; however, the damage she is doing to her family is unbelievable.
No matter how hard the Republicans try to blame the mean old left, Palin put her family firmly under the microscope.
Whatever she was thinking, it sure as hell wasn't about her family.

AdrianBrowne · 1 year ago

I know! How many lives did they wreck?

tlsintx · 1 year ago

the shit just keeps on coming...
now the McCain camps threatens a suit against the National Enquirer for saying Palin had an extramarital affair with Todd's business partner...like that's the worst thing out of ALL of it...

and the weird thought occurs to me, is this a red herring to keep everyone away from all the shit that's already hit the fan?

no offense to anyone with a long successful marriage but I can see it, that is a loonnnng time, and they were very, very young when they got married, and it was shotgun, too.

If this was a ploy by McCain to get Lieberman for veep I think the price at this point was a little too high, there is some permanent damage from this. Someone miscalculated.

Probably someone who believes religious conservatives actually practice what they preach. They might have just thought she wasn't qualifed. They might find out she's qualified in ways they never imagined.

ydthin · 1 year ago

I just love this part of the quotes defending Palin from your link:

"insinuating that Governor Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false...
Governor Palin is the most popular governor in the country."
Hmmm. I know correlation doesn't equal causation, but it cracks me up.

A note about being deployed. My son in law was deployed to a middle eastern country. He had to buy a plane ticket, ship his belongings, get a passport, and then he spent months fighting with the branch he is in to get reimbursed. They have continually lost his service records, his pt records, he fell behind on his rent and they threatened him with the brig. There is no one to complain to because the officers protect each others butts. If you complain up command they make things worse for you. He has a wife and 2 kids in the states, they scrape by, but are not eligible for any kind of aid because he makes too much money. Too top things off his job is to watch private contractors do the job he is trained for and they mak 3 or 4 times as much money as him. Do not give me that shit about how the US government loves or even takes care of our servicemen. Do not give me the lie that Republicans love our troops, if they did we would not be in this war and my grandkids would not be living in poverty.

Sarah Palin can't go 5 minutes without fucking up big-time. Can you IMAGINE this nutty-as-a-fruitcake woman becoming president and having her finger on the nuclear bomb button?

Mark217 · 1 year ago

I wonder if Palkin's son will deploy at all now. It seems like the child of a major political candidate (president and vice president) might create more of a risk for the safety and security of all personnel in a unit. I wouldn't want to serve with Biden's son or Palin's son because killing a candidate's child in war (or capturing them and holding them as hostage) would be a major propaganda victory for enemy forces. I am an Army veteran. This isn't a partisan issue. It just seems like no military commander would want the liability and operational security problems associated with having a high-profile soldier in their unit (with family members in high office). The last family member of a high elected official in combat was LBJ's son-in-law Chuck Robb in Vietnam. One of McCain's sons (from one of his two wives) was deployed in Iraq during the primaries and I imagine he his home now.

ENLISTED ON SEPTEMBER 11........IS BEING DEPLOYED ON SEPTEMBER 11.....(SARAH PALIN AUGUST 28, 2008 DAYTON, OHIO) HOW POLITICALLY ORCHESTRATED AND HUMANLY INSENSITVE (AND IMO-UNFORGIVEABLE) TO USE THE INCREDIBLE SADNESS OF SO MANY AS A STEP ON THE LADDER OF ONES SELF-PROMOTION-----TO ME SHE IS SO MUCH MORE ALIGNED WITH PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH WHO LIKES TO USE THIS DATE OFTEN HIMSELF IN SO MANY SELF-SERVING WAYS........HUMAN COMPASSION IS NOT A WEAKNESS
