AMERICAblog: USA Today: McCain/Palin are lying

  • michaelt · 1 year ago
    always a mind scramble when the papers report the facts.

    Bill Maher was just on with Wolf Blitzer. He was great. I hope they have him on everyday until Jack Cafferty comes back.
  • BarbaraGordon · 1 year ago
    Where are Obama's surrogates - all of those Dems who rushed to endorse him in the primary - out yelling in plain English that Palin is "lying"? The language needs to be simple; the GOP supporters are idiots. Two syllables at the most.
  • WDemDem · 1 year ago
    Too bad the teevee reporters are afraid of all these true stories about the lying duo. The ignorant can't read, so they rely on the teevee for their truthiness.

    THE REPUBS PUT IN CHANEY TO BUILD UP BUSH, NOW THEY PICK PALIN TO BRIGHTEN UP MCCAIN'S CAMPAIGN. THE BIG BOYS WANT A PRESIDENT THEY CAN MANIPULATE, NOT A SMART PRES WHO WILL MESS UP THEIR MONEY MAKING PLANS. SARAH IS THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE

    "Sarah is the Bridge to Nowhere"

    Brilliant!

    ThinkProgress has been keeping track of how many times the McCain campaign is repeating this lie. Palin’s comments today bring the number to 23 times:
  • hawkseye · 1 year ago
    David Schuster called Palin on her flip-flop and Chris Matthews pointed it out, too. Am about to watch Gregory.
  • Wild_Weasel · 1 year ago
    No matter how the NeoCons try to parse it,

    McCain lied.

    Palin lied.
  • iWoman · 1 year ago
    Wow. USA Today did a better job than CNN's half-hearted report on this.
  • Indigo · 1 year ago
    So . . . she aborted a bridge? That's weird.
  • grandma · 1 year ago

    – Anchorage Daily News
    – Politifact
    – USA Today
    – Associated Press
    – The Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz
    – MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow

    Guys keep the PRESSURE on here at AB and everywhere you can!

    My friend from NYC and I have already targetting going to the following blogs / web pages (which have readers of all parties): Newsweek, Time, USA Today, CNN, CNBC and, gasp! Perez Hilton. Though he's doing a good job putting the truth out, too.

    We will keep it SIMPLE and keep posting the TRUTH in a dumbing-down-of-America kinda of way. I hate to admit it, but that's the only that will work.

    Palin ... what a LYING skank!

    http://slander08.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/hello...

    Ever since being nominated as the Vice Presidential candidate of the
    Republican Party, a lot of rumors have been swirling about Sarah
    Palin. Rumors such as Sarah Palin spending her summers off from the
    University of Idaho working for pesos as a performer in a Tijuana
    donkey show, stumbling back across the border each night to San Diego
    only to pass out from tequila in the back seat of her Chevy.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    I chose on Craig's list a city in a toss up state and kept posting all day long on each Newsreport of the LIE
    in the Rants and Rave section. I make the head line " Reuters says Plain is a LIAR"

    I also am posting on other blogs.
  • JohnInTexas · 1 year ago
    Oh goodie, now it'll be HeeHaw Palin LMAO. You can put glasses and lipstick on a pitbull and it still may rip your throat out or piss down your leg. She's a c**t and McNumbBalls knows it.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    You "people" don't understand politics? Sure you do... You know what's going down. The Christian conservative base is back in the picture and ready to vote. Sarah may be peaking too soon. Right now she's wearing Ronald Reagan teflon. Maybe Biden will have some sort of glue that he can use to stick something on her. Right now she's the golden girl; but politics is a mean sister....

    In Incredibly Smart Move, Biden Wedges GOP on Stem Cells

  • iWoman · 1 year ago
    CNN just discussed Obama's new ad, with the lobbyists, and how Obama is talking about it on the campaign trail. CNN's "fact check" agrees they were all former lobbyists.

    But they say Biden has close ties to lobbyists, too, including Biden's son working for some credit card company.
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    Obama needs more tough surrogates to go out and quote these media outlets, calling her a liar.
    I think Obama should go all out now, it looks like the rethuglicans are getting away with their usual lies and attacks. It is time for some 527's and other people joining the attacks against the Rethugs.

    The Canadians think Sarah's fecundity is the reason she's doing so well?:
    http://www.nationalpost.com/story.html?id=778032
  • Wild_Weasel · 1 year ago
    Canadians don't know squat.

    We're voting for her heart and mind, not her ovaries.
  • TheOriginalLiz · 1 year ago
    whether she has either heart or mind is questionable - so it must be the ovaries.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Good point! But, you have sure pissed off a lot of Canadians by telling the truth. I wouldn't advise trying to post on LesEnrages.blogspot.com.... Just sayin...

    "I'm not against her because she's from a small town; I'm against her because she seems to have a small mind."

    Maher today on CNN
  • iWoman · 1 year ago
    Yeah, he was great.
  • BarbaraGordon · 1 year ago
    I just caught the last 30 seconds of Lisa Myers on NBC Nightly News fact checking Palin. At least news of her deceit is now making the national news.
  • here4tehbeer · 1 year ago
    CBS tagged her too - and I think they hit McCain and the eBay crap as well.

    My guess is that ol' Charlie Glibson didn't say squat.
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    Did Hasselbeck go out of line? She takes a bad stab at Michelle Obama, revealing what went on behind the scenes, and making Michelle look bad....this redneck has become quite the Hannity mouthpiece. All this, despite the fact Michelle was NICE to her.
    The term dumb republican comes to mind.

    I can't stand Elisabeth. You know if Sarah Palin came on the View, she would have a War and Peace list of what questions can't be answered.
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    I can't stand the fact that she acts self righteous, and is amazingly dumb. It looks like the koolaid really stayed in her brain.
  • iWoman · 1 year ago
    Yeah, she's pretty vile. I can't even watch the View anymore, because I just get so angry over everything she says. She's amazingly ignorant. It was a bit better when Rosie was on, because she'd call her on it.

    Obama: 'Lipstick on a pig'
    Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA:

    Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.
    "You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."

    "You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."
    "We've had enough of the same old thing."

  • houstonray · 1 year ago
    And now the Right is BLOWING THIS THING UP saying that it was a sexist comment about her because of her lipstick comment. They are demanding an apology from Obama...I just got into a heated 'comment' debate on a news website. I think I got my point across but I had to log off before I threw my laptop across the room.

    God what they won't do to twist a story....

    Pathetic...
  • grandma · 1 year ago
    Yep...the whiny ass tiddy babies are screaming now
  • Wild_Weasel · 1 year ago
    The more things change, the more they STAY THE SAME . . . if you vote McCain/Palin.

    Keith Olberman:

    Good News !

    The full ratings are posted in several locales, but here are the headlines:

    Rachel drew 1,543,000 viewers in total at 9 PM last night. Not only was that better (by 160,000) than Larry King, but it was the second highest number of total viewers in Primetime, not counting Fixed News.

    Modesty precludes me from saying who was ahead of her on that list

    Watch as crusading journalist Charles Gibson nails Sarah to the cross for lying through her teeth about the bridge to nowhere. OK, so I had too many cocktails tonight.
  • CitizenX · 1 year ago
    Choose a right wing wacko as VP to fire up the fundies. Slash and burn through the election hoping the low information voters get you elected. If that happens, mcbush is forced by the right wing wackos to resign at about 2 year into his administration and the fundies have their wacko President.
  • High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago
    or maybe some right wing fundie like BUSHBOY takes a whack at mccain and has the wet dream of a life time having a knuckle dragger as Prez......
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Stifle yourself, HC&M. Go back to the Lyndon LaRouche playbook and see if it tells you what to do when history bypasses your pitiful ass.......
  • High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago
    bushboy, you cant stand it cause i'm right. and if you think hurling mud about larouche is gonna upset me, you are once again mistaken. as i've noted dozens of times - he has been more right about world affairs, and the economy than you will ever be in your entire life. for example, recently congress has started to say that we should be investing more money in the infrastructure of they unemployed machinist in the auto industry. larouche has been saying this for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    so ill take your grain of bullshit, and flush it down the toilet..... where the rest of your ideas sit.....
  • ultraducharme · 1 year ago
    Americans LIKE being lied to. It's not a strong charge.

    Drop this narrative and take these two right-wing ideologues DOWN. Man them look old and crazy.
